Seriously... of all of the human-generated art in the last several centuries that features a person, about 90% of the time, it's a young, white woman. There are artists, past and present, who only draw women.
The bias was always there.

Konami, if Silent Hill f isnt good, you better bury Silent Hill forever. Bring back Hybrid Heaven, you’ll probably have better success with that.
Strange that you believe Konami actually gave a shit after they fired Kojima and turned their primary attention to pachinko machines, so that Silent Hill fans can "HIT THE LEVER!"
That's not the spot where you listen from.
I would disagree with the choice of words here, yes their stories are often not super deep or intricate, but I do believe they are extremely interesting, specifically because they are presented in such an appealing way.
I'm not talking about Supergiant as a whole. Bastion and Transistor had great stories. It's just that, afterwards, they started to lose their ability to tell an impactful story, and dived head-first into worldbuilding (especially Pyre) and character development. Those sort of things are good to have, but not as the main focus of the story.
In Bastion and Transistor, worlds were falling apart. In Hades, some dude was pissy about his father and figured out who his real mother. <Insert Star Wars "family" meme here>
They did trade-off good, impactful stories for tight, action-packed gameplay. Neither Pyre's nor Hades' core stories have been that interesting, despite the excellent voice acting, music, and gameplay.
The fact that they are doing a sequel to Hades immediately suggests that the trend is going to continue, because that's where the money's at. It's a rather risk-adverse decision.
I see that a lot of the cops in the background aren't adhering to the full dress code.
Stop playing AAA games. They are just going to burn you in the end, or the beginning, usually.
The promise copyright holders were supposed to uphold was that the public received it as public domain when the copyright ended. How the fuck can you receive anything as public domain when the media is completely lost after only 10% of the duration of the copyright?
This is just another obvious sign that the whole copyright system is completely broken. If copyright holders won't retain the media long enough for the copyright to expire, and hold up their end of the bargain, then we have no obligation to uphold their copyright.
Is this Persona or Pokemon?
The Swashbuckler change feels weird since it removes some strategy.
No, Swashbuckler change was a well-needed buff. The amount of times I've had to just ditch Swashbuckler because it wants me to put it to the right of a X mult was frustrating. Often, I was left with a near-useless +5 multi joker, since the good X mult jokers were rares.
Yeah, but why make it out to be a gaming industry problem? It's a capitalism and stock market problem.
Considering the glowing reviews on part 2, I'm surprised there's any sort of "loss" here.
