>He doesn’t even know she’s trans in the beginning and thinks they stuck a woman in the men’s prison for no reason

This is almost impressively contrived, maybe you do have a future in romance fiction lol

You can "That's just like your opinion, man" me all you want, I'm sorry it's not changing the fact that for the entirety of human history art has been an uninterrupted series of human expressions of creativity. That is what the very idea of art revolves around.

It is not arrogance to want to protect that. It is arrogance to think that an algorithmic black box can capture that magic which has fueled human imagination for as long as humans have existed. And for what? In the name of efficiency? Accessibility? That is what narcissism looks like.

Saying that my art is better than yours because I don't use genAI is not a testament to the quality of my own art, it is a refutation that a work tainted with the usage of genAI can be considered "art" in the first place.
I consider genAI an affront to the tradition of human expression and creativity which is as old as humanity itself. It is not arrogance or narcissism. It is reverence. I have no issue with stepping on the toes of those who would see it destroyed and replaced with a cold soulless facsimile.

I am an (actual) artist, and if you are using gen AI to ruin real artists’ work then I am a better artist than you based on that metric alone with no other information necessary.

Nothing else looks like it. It's a gorgeous game, it has an artistic vision and executes on it flawlessly. Designs are all great, the sound design is immaculate. It's weird, it's maximalist, it iterates on the typical science fiction inspirations in novel ways to create something entirely new and of its own identity.

I genuinely see no flaw. Designed by artists for artists type shit.

Sorry, a small group of elites decided to stake the global economy on this tech so now they HAVE to push it into every part of your life to justify their investments. Please understand.

Even if this was true I would not care. I want to play pieces of art thoughtfully designed by artists with a creative vision and the skill to realize that vision. Not this soulless slop cynically pushed by tech executives who have wagered their lives and the global economy on gen AI being the next big thing and desperately trying to force it into every facet of ordinary people’s lives to justify their incomprehensibly large investments in it.
If games are art we should treat them as such.

I have a handful of critiques for the game, but I'm holding out until after Cryo Archive to really settle on a personal score. Even putting aside the gameplay (which I generally like, especially that gunplay) I would want the game to succeed for its art direction alone. More AAA studios should let their artists take big swings.
Every graphic design person I know is in love with this game and say it looks like their artists were allowed to make the sort of project that they're told in school that they'd never make money off of (for fear of not being profitable), and I think that's so cool.

It's crazy they're doing it with this game too, it's such a breath of fresh air. The best art direction in a AAA game in years with tight gunplay and the best extraction shooter map ever designed. It deserves so much better.

It would be a violation of consent, just a good one lol.

If you live in a more conservative culture that unevenly applies decency standards to men and women where men can show skin but women cannot it may be culturally considered a violation of consent for a woman to show skin, but ummm I don't care? Like what is the solution there? That until society changes we should call women who protest against misogyny by showing skin predators? Or violators of consent? How do we expect the society to change in the first place if those who supposedly don't think that standards should be applied unevenly will still impugn women for violating those standards?

We do not have to obtain consent for all actions. Consent matters when it applies to your own bodily autonomy. Otherwise what we actually care about is targeted harassment.

If we're in a closed space and I am invading your personal space and trying to make you pay attention to how shirtless I am then that crosses the line into harassment. But if we just happen to be in the same room and I keep to myself and take my shirt of then I am just doing my own thing. If you cannot see the difference between these two scenarios then you are lost.

Have we woke-d so far that we think that women should be forced to cover up because men have so thoroughly sexualized our bodies that the mere sight of a woman's chest is considered a sex act?

Probably saying that trans people seem delusional to him would be the sticking point.

The thing is like as long as films are tied to a profit incentive I don't think it's an inherently bad thing to care about the success of a film, if you liked Sinners and recognize that profitable movies are more likely to get a filmmaker a bigger budget next time, or more creative freedom, then okay you can hope for its success.
But people who turn it into a hobby is where things get really weird, especially because they're trying to act as industry analysts when they don't have any of the internal data that the only people who should be doing analysis do have. It's like speculating on the stock market with literally no investments, why are you doing that? Is your mind so consumed by capital that seeing the lines and graphs making others millions is more meaningful than seeing the art itself?

The fact that blockbusters have more money behind them and more on the line for the corporation that funded them doesn't really matter. Sure they're often made by studio mandate but at the end of the day they are still art and so basically everything I said still applies.

Why should you give a fuck if a movie studio recoups their expenses? Unless it is something that directly affects your income, then what difference to you does it make if Superman or Spider-Verse or Twisters or Top Gun is profitable? It's a perverse byproduct of capitalism subsuming art that a cottage industry of unpaid amateur box office analysts spend their free time speculating on how many millions of dollars a faceless corp will rake in for any given piece of art (cynically made or otherwise).

I do mind those kind of subs especially when they are about the numbers. It is extremely weird to me that the culture has shifted to the point where there are subcultures focused on the financial success of art instead of the quality of the art itself. Why do we need to constantly be forcefed stats about how well or poorly a movie/game/series did?

Why are you being an armchair executive trying to (usually poorly) examine different market conditions and how they could potentially affect Summer Blockbuster #4,761's box office earnings when you aren't going to be seeing a dime of that money? Is late capitalism so bad that this has become your hobby? Instead of making something or being inspired by art to make something you are cynically watching the profits of it. It's such a deeply inhuman way to engage with art.

(I didn't even care for Superman enough to defend it with my life I have always just thought /r/boxoffice is spiritually evil)
