laughs in gay
I want you all to have fun and honestly just want to know the reason behind why in the consumers eyes an astonishingly big amount of women in videogames barely wear anything and have some dumb backstories to why they can’t wear more. Would you feel the same if it was the case with men in videogames? Do you care more about some jiggly parts here and there than immersion and logic? I also very much enjoy womens bodies but would appreciate a bad ass armour on a bad ass character way more than a freaking swimming suit. No crititque, just honest interest.
Depends on the game. It would be out of place in Beyond Good and Evil or a lot of story-focused games. In a spectacle fighter? Everything should be absurd. You’re flying through the air smashing shit - gravity defying tiddies isn’t an issue.
I honestly wouldn’t care if the male characters were fully nude, as long as it fits the style of the game and it is rated appropriately.
There was this TF2 style free to play shooter game a few years back called ‘loadout’ and literally the only thing I remember about it was you could be nude in the game with your dick swinging around while you lugged your machine gun around. It was very fun and fit well within the style of the game.
but as a tradeoff the characters in the game were ugly as fuck
Men in videogames are hot as well, even if more dressed.
Ask a man what’s a sexy attire for a woman, and most of the time they’ll answer lingerie or something like that. Ask a woman and they’ll answer business attire or fitting shirts.
That’s just demand.
than immersion and logic
That’s not how fiction works. I’m not interested in a perfect recreation of reality in my video games. What would be the point? I can’t even play Stellar Blade, but I fucking hate the puddle deep take that Realism = Good. Are The Muppets bad because it’s not realistic? Is Star Fox bad because furries aren’t real? Is CoD better then Halo because Halo has Plasma Rifles?
Immersion doesn’t break because there’s titties on screen. It breaks when the game stutters because of poor optimization or when an MTX menu pops up.
To answer your question: i do not mind sexy men in a game with sexy women. Quite the opposite. It makes “sense”. Then again it is, in my opinion, also ok to cater to only a certain group. Your point of immersion also holds true but it very much depends on the game. I do not need logic and immersion in all games. Also you have universes where things just work weirldy and you have to accept it. I have no issue accepting the rules of fantasy worlds.
Logic only needs to be internally consistent for immersion, anyway. It doesn’t need to be consistent with our reality.
The sole purpose of this game seems to be for batin’ so I agree the censorship is stupid. Still not my kind of game.
This game has a good story, great combat, and an interesting world. The ONLY reason you think it’s for wanking is because the women characters in the game are all dressed in fetish gear and lingerie despite there being no mention of sex or sexuality anywhere in the game. It’s pure fetishization and it’s especially creepy on the two different characters who look underage.
The… only reason I think it’s for wanking is because the developers dressed their characters in fetish gear…?
Y-Yeah…?
Point being it’s a pretty good game with overt and put of place fetishization of specifically women characters and that’s why some people have an issue with the sexualisation. Every male character is covered head to toe, most of them even have full head mask/helmets. The game isn’t sexy at all - a side character mentions love and Eve literally doesn’t know what it is - other than the outfits.
It’s great value brand Nier: Automata.
The main guy behind nier thinks stellar blade is great https://www.eurogamer.net/stellar-blade-is-superior-to-nier-automata-says-yoko-taro
I saw that and I believe it’s a very nice statement.
I don’t see the difference other then lighting between censored and not
There is an extra fabric covering the clevage on the censored version.
Why was it censored anyways?? Seriously!?
Conspiracy take: They knew that this would spark another wave of controversy, thus keeping the talk about this game up (free marketing). I had nearly forgotten about it (dont care, got no ls5) and now its in my mind again.
That’s more reasonable than face value
PLS take my up vote. Not worth much but it’s all I’ve got
Don’t know, don’t care.
Did you also put your arm up in class to say “i do not know”?
I’m stealing this. Bravo
And more of the hip I guess?
I have zero interest in this game, so I have no horse in this race, but the censorship does seem a little silly. It’s rated M, are we really so puritan that a little cleavage needs to be covered up?
From an outside perspective? Yes.
It is silly but what’s even sillier is being legitimately mad at this
I am not mad, but I am disappointed in sony on principal. I want to see the game the devs wanted to make. Eventually. If it comes to PC one day.
I am not mad about not being able to play the uncensored version. I was likely never going to play it anyway, since it’s not the style of games I play.
I am mad that devs wanted to make a game certain way and Sony stepped in to censor it. And this kind of puritan censorship is spreading everywhere.
Me when a couple inches of fabric
Can we just agree that everyone is a little stupid here? Except for us. We are Rad.
I can agree that I am very smart and cool
Right. In a world of unlimited and free internet porn where every niche is well catered for, what we need to worry about are skimpy swimsuits in games.
Inb4: I don’t have any issues with pornography, each to their own. But you can define have too much of a good thing!
I read Japan is making them censor the game so that could be part of the reason. The ‘Hard R’ graffiti is something else.
They didn’t. Only 2 weeks ago the Devs were boasting about it being uncensored.
I think they were trying to avoid getting a Cero Z rating in Japan.
Someone’s going to make a nude pack for it anyway, doesn’t matter what Sony does
Why am I constantly hearing about this game? Aren’t there millions of these Devil May Cry type games with an attractive young girl? The reviews for this one aren’t even that good.
I bought this game recently and I’m enjoying it. It’s a bit slow tho.
It is by the developer of Nikke, which is the 3rd biggest mobile game, after Genshin Impact and Star Rail. It has a very attractive protagonist, apparently great combat and was praised by the Nier Automata creator(with which shares many similarities).
What other similar DMC games, with similar fidelity and attractive female protagonist, have come out recently? Also this game is kinda more dark souls like in combat, less actiony, more deliberate.
Good marketing. I would never even have heard about this game if it was due to constructed outrage.
commercials are constantly running on crunchyroll for it.
Hard R 💀
That just feels like an accidental fuckup tbh
It being one of the things they want “uncensored” is revealing.
Aren’t we talking about the cleavage cover and the extra hip cloth in the second image?
I’m not familiar with the twitter brain rot, if they want the racist insinuation back, that’s really something. If the dev caught shit for a weird crop that’s dumb as fuck too but who cares about the graffiti?
Screw the straight men and gay women. Where are the himbos in v strings?
Maybe Fashion Police Squad? Someone else mentioned Loadout. Otherwise, be the change you want to see in the world and make Doom WAD.
Oh, my mind is in FPS stuff, but Twisted Wonderland and other Fujoshi games are popular for that demographic.
I don’t understand why everything needs to be a boring shade of grey.
If someone what’s a hyper violent game with tits in it and you don’t why do you care? Just don’t play.
Its fucking childish, if someone isn’t hurting other let them have their own form of entertainment. The more entertainment the better, everyone gets what they want.
Idk mixing hyper violence and sex in dudes’ minds might lead to hurting others, couldn’t it?
Uhh, that’s the 90s “video games cause violence” argument that’s been thoroughly debunked.
'cause it’s published by a giant corporation and they have to be as insipidly neutral as possible.
That’s a problem.
I’d rather a big company throw out 10 different games some of which I think are great and some terrible. Then 10 games that are meh
They censored the ramen sign from on to off? Those bastards!
Honestly there are so many skimpy outfits that I wonder if the people who are upset have even actually played the game of if they’re just being loud to make noise.
They really didn’t leave much to the imagination…
The sign did say “hard r”
On the one hand I’m all for horny shit in games, and I think they should go full nude just for the hell of it. But on the other hand, I had to squint to be able to tell the difference between the outfits.
Same, I spent like over a minute trying to find whatever the fuck they were talking about.
I actually like the new one better, because it has a bit more interesting details. It’s not all about the amount of skin shown, IMO.
I think it’s the blood most people would be upset about. It’s clearly toned down and diminishes the original intent. At least, that’s what I hope they’re upset about.
