All I care if the game is good or not, same goes for the characters.

Hello, Tyler. Meet my disinterest.

Maybe he'll end up being a well rounded character, but that's a bit of info that doesn't need to be announced before the game releases. It's the kind of detail that should be subtly revealed and not be made a big deal.

Not for me, cheers

I am hoping the next NBA 2K does something like this. Because after all if you think your 7 feet tall it must be true no matter what the tape measure tells you.

So brave to make it a point

DONTNOD does not make anything close to resembling AAA games.

“Fiction is often tempted to paint minorities in broad strokes, but Guillaume explains that Tell Me Why has avoided that pitfall”

You mean like life is strange 2 did painting all the white males as racist other than a woke professional protestor?.... so something is only bad is dependent on who the targeted group is. Got it!

Is it a good game?

make a good game that's all. No one's gonna say "OMG a trans I NEED to buy this game". Don't make a shit game

hmm, Life is Strange...who would have thunk it???

At the rate it's going, it's going to be straight white males having to start a SJW movement to be included more often. Straight white males have been the most left behind and discriminated group over the last few years. And people wonder why so many of us Trump supporters exist

I really enjoyed the original Life is Strange, as well as Vampyr.
Not interested in your virtue signal of a game, sadly.

If the only thing that is trying to get me to play this game is the fact that the protagonist is transgender, you have already failed at developing and marketing the game.

Outside of Twitter, the vast majority of people aren't going to care who or what the protagonist is, they just want a good game that's made well and clearly this developer should have realized that.

... so?

This isn't news, unless this was an rpg of some sort in which upgrading and removing body parts of your character is a goal of some sort to level up. In Any case I wouldn't want to play it, lol.

I'm a straight woman & I'm interested in playing this including interested in the story. Reading some of these biased comments is just crazy.

Hi Taylor...I mean Tyler

Good for them. We are not the target audience for this game tho.

Plz stop with all this bs

This isn't a AAA game... >_>

So tolerant and progressive, who cares,
Does it make it a better game? Highly doubt it, when social ideologies take priority

Meet me, who don't give a f

I don't care what the gender is. Just make it interesting, not forced and overly dramatic.

"In recent years, character diversity has been on the rise, but there’s still a long way to go"

I'd say things are proportionate now in regards to number of games there are for how many trans people there are. Let's not go overboard.

Really.. This is discrimination.

I think too many people make too big a deal about all this stuff.

Story driven games are art. Art is presented how the artists envision their art to be depicted. Art is not about saying I have to have a person of each colour, each sexual orientation, physical appearance, disabled people, or gender category. Art is about expressing a vision that the artist wanted to tell people about.

I have been turned off by a lot of entertainment over the past three years because they are trying to put diversity into everything. I play games often as entertainment.... Not, because they enlighten my diversity. I decide on a game-by-game basis whether to buy it on how well it plays and the art is conveyed. Not whether the game has a Chinese guy, white female, black transgender person, a blue alien, a crippled pink Norwegian, and an elephant man from Cuba.

Dwight: I'm gonna need a list of every man you've ever had sex with. I'm talking train stations, men's rooms...

Michael: Flower shops, fireworks celebrations...

Dwight: Fence with a hole in it..

Michael: Moolit Gandala, carrage drive through Central Park...

Dwight: The woods behind the liquor store, the swamp behind the old folk's home.

Michael: An electric car dealership.

Dwight: The democratic primaries...

I never really based my interest in games on gender

Good luck making your money back

if the game is good and enjoyable I don't care if my character has 3 penises, 2 vaginas and 3 balls.

great a video game based on social issues and not game play, sounds like a real winner.

I feel like the types of people who care about this sort of thing don't even play many video games in the first place....It's all outside sources trying to control everyone.

Another piece of indoctrination for all of the kids out there.

This is fine actually. It's more appropiate in my opinion, it's a new game and new games deserve a shot. How often don't we hear that they should make a game for themselves, well there you go. Atleast they aren't trying to remove or change something that already exists.

You're still getting your DOOM/FF/GoW/YS/Yakuza/Bayonett a/ games and they're not going away. Chill.

I literally refuse to buy political games with messages.

Just make a decent game that captures the imagination I don't care who is who.

Last of us built its following and hype by showing tense encounters with monsters, and cinematic storytelling. Ellie was a lesbian but it was never really front and center and was left ambiguous until the expansion.
No one cares about gender and sexuality except the few on the furthest fringes of left and right. The few you gain from the left will be cancelled out by the few you lose from the right, meanwhile the 99% of people out there that don't care are left with the question WHY SHOULD I CARE ABOUT THIS GAME?

Wasn't this already shown off at TGA19 2 months back? Anyway, regardless of who the protagonist is the writing and relate-ability to the character needs to land with the audience to be effective and successful. In the end the level of story telling is all that matters.

This is so gay, i mean is literally gay , the character of course .

Good for it, too bad being a transgender isn't a personality trait that automatically makes a good character.

Jesus Fn Christ! I’m sick of Sjw’s and snowflakes🤦🏻Pa ndering to to these woke minorities is such bullsh*t! It’s a ticket to failure and they never seem to learn. I’m tired of the majority having to swallow shit from these minorities just because they are more vocal. Political correctness needs to be replaced with politeness. Politeness is installed in us all while political correctness is jammed down our throats! If we don’t agree with them they label and shame us, so we are all afraid to say what we want for fear of being branded “racist” or “sexist”. To put it in a nutshell, I’m sick and tired of being fed a feed of horse sh*t by a bunch of woke pr*cks.

Congratulations I guess.

Welp, not for me. I have a feeling I'm not the target audience anyway.

Tyler Ronan. So a she pretending to be a he? Ok...so more lesbian stuff. But pretending its not....or..something.

How edgy. Pfft. I showed this to a trans friend of mine and he who has transitioned said that it's stupid. He would rather everyone always thought of him as he is now and not shine a spotlight on how he got to be where he is now. People trying to show the struggle of his life is not being accepting but is pointing on that it's not normal.

Personally... I don't give a f---. A good person is a good person no matter the history.

Ign 10/10 stunning and brave.

Why does it feel like they're trying to sell this purely on how "Progressive" they're being?

The article itself has them being constantly self-congratulatory on how "risky" this was and tooting their own horn over bravery. Lord...

Who cares?

So uh is the game any good.

Why is this news? Is that part of gameplay or something???

Cool, more diversity is great but only if it is in a good game, diversity for it's own sake will rarely succeed. Having said that I do enjoy Dontnod games, have played Vampyre and Life is Strange 2 this gen and enjoyed both so I trust them to build a good game.

As long as they don’t push any agendas into the story line or gameplay

That’s going to be a no for me, dawg.

Dontnod did an amazing job on life is strange so hopefully this game can live up to that.

I’ve played a lot of games, the only one where sexual identity was even remotely relevant was the Witcher. Geralt is a man’s man and all the brothels can attest to it lol. But those are great games too.

Focus on being a great game not having a trans character ...always gotta be extra for some reason smh

Now all we need is the first Triple-A furry protagonist.

Just like with other forms of entertainment pushing agendas. This one's gonna fail too.

Looks like indie shit, not AAA title lol

And the World kept spinning while no one cared.
Just make a solid game man, don't go after the lazy points

Pre-OP or post-op??

Thank God for the mods.. can make the appropriate gender choice.

Who cares? How is the gameplay!?

If the game is good I could care less if the protagonist identified as a fruitcake. We live in treacherous times!

Who gives a shit, is the game good or what?

Who cares? I am a gay man, and would rather not have sexuality be a major part of a game. Unless sexuality plays a part in the gameplay it doesn't really matter much. Which it doesn't!

Why does everything need a label? Trans people, indigenous people, lesbian people, lgtbq people, white, black, yellow people, Y'know what these all have in common? They are all people, and as soon as you put a name to label them to describe people, you give "normal" people something to dislike.

How about were making a new game with new and interesting characters.

I just recently changed my FFxiv character's sex, does that make him a trangender ?

Oh so stunning and brave.

has it ever tho?

I dont recall a moment outside of the brief beginnings of the Xbox360 where they ever had their head in the game.

The thing is 'you all' thought they were something they weren't and took that as some kind of truth. Only to find out, 'you all' lied to 'yourselves.'

They never did have their head in the game. Xbox basically has been ran nose first into the ground over the years. And it just keeps getting deeper and deeper nose first into the ground.

Closing Tango was one of the dumbest things they could have done. And Closing Arkane Austin after they were forced to make a game like Redfall just sucks.

Head? What head? Oh it’s buried up it’s own ass, that’s why I didn’t see it.

Never did. They thought they would bully or buy there way into being the top dog

Xbox has been "headless" since the first few years of the 360 era

This has been the case half way through Xbox 360. Games stopped coming and Kinect became the focus. Then the Xbox One reveal. Many people have been saying this for a long long time and now the rest of the world is now realizing it? It makes no sense that it took this long as the evidence has been there for many years. Xbox fans just wrote it off as Xbox hate but it was denial of the obvious.
