This made me remember some funny Final Fantasy X youtube review that counted ass shots (both male and female), there were pleeeeeeeenty. I didn't even notice them while I was playing because I was paying attention to the game, same with Mass Effect. And even if I did, it's just a body part, all of us have it, It's not like the character is twerking or something.

 

[zaanan]

Bruh. She looks the same. She just doesn't have any beauty makeup on... because she's a tribal warrior.

tribal warrior women be HOTT

 

[Dunki]

I mean you’d probably cry “woke sjws” for any female design that doesn’t look like a pornstar at this point.

But yes as someone who thinks western developed games usually have ugly women in general it’s not hard to believe the game with messed up faces had a messed up female face. Crazy.

But no it’s those leftists at BioWare making an ugly looking main female! I know it because the generic looking male face looks good! Those sjws if only they would have been like the other ME.......were the generic male Shepard also looks better than generic and not sexualized female Shepard.

The point is that they made the female model ugly on purpose while the male model is pretty much the same as the actual actor. If they want an ugly female model why not cast also an ugly actress? When you do motion capturing what is the purpose of not using the Character that it is based on? Same with Recent Sony games like Horizon. Why do they have to make characters look uglier than their actual model?

This is why Japan is superior. If you look at Yakuza they are recognizable even NPC actresses are recognizable from their model. They look the same as the actual person who plays them, And this goes for male and female models. Ant there is nothing to do here for Western devolper if they motion capture except they want to make the female character more uglier.

 

[Ovek]

Of all the fucking things that they should and could have modified in Me2 and 3 and haven’t they still seem to find the time to remove two at most ass shots? Yeah you can fuck right off Bioware.

It also helps that you see shepards ass all the time male or female.

 

[Imotekh]

The game is sex positive. Many games typically ignore that sex is an actual thing that happens. Mass Effect doesn't just not ignore it, it encourages you to hook up with anyone on the ship. So sexiness as expression makes far more sense in the ME games than it does in many others.

I always thought Miranda was fully aware of how shes dressed and her snooty attitude went hand in hand with looking like a top slag.

I think the team have probably done this for woke reasons, but ultimately it wouldn't really affect my decision to buy the game.

 

[The Chairman]

Bioware are just following orders, nothing new here.

Of course she is taking this away from Miranda is like giving Bayonetta a Burka.

 

[Punished Miku]

Cool, I'll just skip this piece of shit then. I already own the games on PS3 and 360. I'll plug in one of them if I ever feel the need to play it.

 

[Dunki]

Bioware are just following orders, nothing new here.

Oh hey the racist and sexist Manveer guy is there too. I wonder if they has picked his next victim from this photo back then.

 

[Aenima]

Its EA, they removing gatuitious camera angles and add DLC camera angles.

 

[Cherry Sonoshee]

blah blah blah you are shit at arguing "you'd probably, you're the same as that chick on channel 4 with jordan peterson "so what you're saying is"

if they got an ugly heffer for the actress it would be fine, the fact the actress is actually sexy and yet in game she looks like a tard says it all. The man looks fucking dead on. Weird init mate!

Im bad at arguing? You’re dumbass hasn’t made a point beyond “wah wah I like boobs”.

Hell, the character who you are crying about because you’ll see less of their virtual ass looks like shit compared to her actress.

BioWare who couldn’t be assed to model Tali’s face or female Turians. Whose attempt to make Ashley look hot instead looked dumb.

Yes I guess BioWare was really the patron saint of female character modeling.

Weird? No we’re talking about Andromeda the game known for fucked up faces and animation. But yes I guess it’s instead some work conspiracy.

Dude just admit you just want to jerk off to female video game characters and you can’t handle when they aren’t hot to you.

 

[RebellYell]

So weird fetish neckbeards like yourself have something to get off to....? Seriously though, would you be complaining this much if it was a dudes ass that was censored in the game, or you only care because its Miranda and you want something to beat your meat to?

Me thinks the lady doth protest too much...

 

[Halo is Back]

Also, does anyone else see the hypocrisy when it comes to "this is sexist/exploitation because...." but then the same people crying about it are also like, "Duuuude, did you see the new Cardi B video? She's breaking boundaries for women!"

Complete clown world.

Fucking nail on the head. They have become the puritan conservatives of the past except when it come to a POC flailing her ass on screen with a song about her wet ass pussy then its EMPOWERMENT. Im a simple man, I see ass and I like it.

Why do you care so much about what i jerk to? You practically live in this thread getting mad at people disliking this direction, it's very transparent. Are you one of those REE types that doesn't even game and just likes to shit on evil basement dwelling "gamers"

 

[LisaMariaMartin]

I agree, however if you're getting off on some pixelated shit compared to the real thing, I'm starting to look at you sideways bro, if thats how you get it and get off thats great however realize your bitching and moaning about FAKE nudity vs the real thing. I really think you really need to know the difference. I am not going to complain about gaming nudity because its fake. you do you though bro.

Ok, I have no bone to pick with either side here but what you're saying makes no sense.

No one is actually attracted to literal pixels, or drawn women or anime titties. It's called fantasy. The pictures you are seeing act as sexual triggers. And its as old as time itself. People have been drawing naked women on walls, choking their snakes since time immemorial. Seriously. The oldest examples can be traced back to the stone ages.

History of erotic depictions - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

The aztecs did it, feudal japanese warlords did it and now people who sit in front of their computers do it. It is literally nothing to be ashamed of and thinking it's only fat neckbeards who are aroused by erotic depictions is incredibly narrow minded.

 

[Halo is Back]

I'm the prude sure, meanwhile your a grown ass straight male complaining about pixel ass because you cant get any in the real. if you were getting that real shit why would you complain about the fake shit. Hey and anyways doesn't matter if your a straight male I want you to keep it 100, if male ass is getting cut I want you to keep that same energy. Censorship is censorship am I right? But you dont care because you wana get off on that fake Miranda ass.

 

[Ivory Samoan]

Those bastards.
Miranda's dad spent a fortune on that ass!!!

This is the best post in the thread.

Also, this is weird for me, but as long as they don't CUT the shot - but pan out or whatever, I'm totally fine with this.

This could be the beginning of the end for me lol.

 

[Shadowstar39]

And the censorship and agenda begins, wtf
.. This is the result of Twitter and people spending too much time being indoctrinated by morons.

Honestly I am glad this article came out. I can now buy me1 and me3 on pc (already have me2 and the whole trilogy on ps3). I was going to buy a month a go but stopped for this.

Now not going to get it. Will buy originals before they remove them like what happened to the baldur's gate games when enhanced Ed's came out.

Get them if you don't have them before it's too late.

 

[Shouta]

*Miranda has an emotional moment talking about her abusive father using her daughter as nothing more than a tool.*
*Cut to a camera angle where her ass takes up almost half the screen.*

Yeah I'm not one to be pro censorship, but this is a good change. I love me some sexy characters, but there's a time and place to have shots like that, and ME2 always did it at the most inappropriate times.

Yeah, I was going to say that wasn't the shot from when she's talking about her kind of heavy/tragic background? That's like the most ridiculous time to have an ass-shot of her. I'm okay with it if they're doing it to make the camera match the tone of the scene.

 

[Redlancet]

If I want some ass I'll get it in the real, only neckbeards complain about devs removing fake ass because they aint getting any and its the closest they've been to a woman.

You wont get any Real ass, you arent fooling anyone

 

[Senua]

Thanks god for Japan

 

[Dunki]

They did it will all of these shots not only that one.

 

[Shadowstar39]

Hope mods will be able to return it or something. It is incredible how puritanic is the west in the games.

Is it really... Go back to this forum 3 years ago. You would of been banned and dog piled for expressing any sentiment in favor of showing attractive women and against censorship.

Hell here is a whole forum that is jizzinf their panties about how they are pleased with this as "its their revenge on straight men".... ReeeesetEra is having a boner over these changes no doubt.

 

[Cherry Sonoshee]

Lol. No, you don’t have a point. Find me a quote were a BioWare developer says “we wanted female Ryder to look ugly”.

You don’t care about censorship. You care about developers making attempts to not pander to male gamers and any slight deviation from that or just acknowledgement of it offends you greatly. And it’s stupid because a slight change of assshots in a game that will still have tons of sex content for a male to enjoy, has triggerd you so much you refuse to buy it. It would be funny if it wasn’t so sad.

You really think BioWare set out to specifically make an ugly character. Really? They wanted to on purpose make an ugly female, so much so that they made sure her and other animation looked terrible. Wow. Cast an ugly actress? Why would they do that? No I guess according to you the spent more money to get model and then because they are woke sjws who hate sex they on purpose did a bad job to make a statement. They were so good at doing this they extended it to other parts of the game. The sjws wanted to make such a statement that they ruined their studio and maybe the series.

I guess this makes more sense then it being troubled production and just bad character modeling that I guess the series never exhibited before.

Oh I guess your support point is Horizon. The other game with bad character faces. Yeah I guess you are right.

 

[THEAP99]

It's a scam of a downgrade of a game. Soulless

 

[SaturnSaturn]

Maxwell Jacob Friedman

It has nothing to do with it being sexy or "lol go and jerk off to it you fat fucking neckbeard" its the principle of things, if they start censoring that whats next if they get away with it? Removing dialog thats not deemed "woke" enough? Changing cutscenes in remasters since they dont conform to todays "society"?

Its about nipping it in the bud before it gets to insane and bleeds over into everything else.

Just look at Sonys censorship 2-3 years back and now, it escalated quickly. The same shit will happen here if people dont complain about trivial changes, gatekeeping your hobby is unironicaly a good thing

I have stood up for the weebs even though i dont touch the games myself because this is a slippery fucking slope, anyone thats not half retarded can see it

 

[Cherry Sonoshee]

is is why Japan is superior. If you look at Yakuza they are recognizable even NPC actresses are recognizable from their model. They look the same as the actual person who plays them, And this goes for male and female models. Ant there is nothing to do here for Western devolper if they motion capture except they want to make the female character more uglier.

Its almost as if Japan is better at character models....

But no it’s because western developers just want to make ugly women all the time instead of simply not being as good in this area.

 

[JayK47]

This is why I hate remasters. They do the same shit to movies. They re-re-release the HD version, which sounds awesome until you hear about changes they made. I really wish remasters would stick to visual fidelity and not get political. If the game/movie is so great that it deserves a remaster, the original art direction should be preserved, not changed to fit current sensibilities.

 

[Shouta]

They did it will all of these shots not only that one.

The article doesn't say all of them. Just the ones they considered gratuitous or unflattering because you can pick your Shep. Extending that to say every shot is gone is a huge stretch and ridiculously reactionary just like calling everyone that's against changes is some neckbeard is reactionary. It's better to consider what, why, and where they're making their changes before screaming bloody murder about it. If they want to boost their depiction of FemShep to make it consistent with MaleShep by not giving her panty/crotch shots or not stare at Miranda's ass while she talks about getting abused by her father, that's really reasonable.

 

[General Lee]

It's not surprising in the least that NuBioware couldn't keep their hands off the fan service aimed at guys. ME2 was pretty much the last of its breed where Bioware did anything unashamedly catering to straight males. I think the only reason they didn't remove more of it is because it would cost too much.

 

[Shadowstar39]

If I want some ass I'll get it in the real, only neckbeards complain about devs removing fake ass because they aint getting any and its the closest they've been to a woman.

Bullshit. Was married for 9 years and been in many relationships before that. At least 5 before high school even ended back in the mid 90s. Lost my virginity at 13 to a 17 year old. Had tons of stories of in my twenties. All through my 30s I was married and still railed against the censorship and loved sexy art. You see there is a difference between sexy art and porn. I'm not trying to jerk off, like some sjws like to tout. I really find porn distasteful , it's good for a quick fap now and again but it's not art. Miranda is art, like a good nude painting or a Clyde caldwell fantasy cover. (why sjws don't go after porn and rappers for sexualization I will never understand, they seem like hypocrites)

I like attractiveness and sexy women in art. I find video games art and the medium I like most. It's equally as bad when wizards of the coast took out sexy art from D&D and magic to appease feminists and sjws.
I remeber all the great fantasy art on dnd books and conan with bikini armor and sultry thick thighs and luschous cleavage. Yeah I love the female body and real femininity.

No one had a problem with any of it until 2014. After Twitter became mainstream and smartphones let the masses who were computer illeterate bitch about bullshit and push activist agendas.. They basically destroyed much of what was once good in discourse and art. You see their bs in movies, magazines (remeber when playboy got rid of nudity) whoops, Miss America, removing grid girls from having jobs, etc....

These same people are fine with real life degeneracy and being sluts. But God forbid some guy finds a woman attractive. The thing is this isn't coming from women. It's coming from soy drenched San Fran spergs and Twitter socjus indoctrinated.

 

[Senua]

The west are good at designing male character models though!

but yes japan are good at both, like the west used to be!

 

[A Elbereth Gilthoniel]

If it were up to me the camera would never need leave that ass at all. That would be the game. The game would literally be improved if they released it as Mass Effect: Gratuitous Ass Shot Edition. Why else would anyone play this garbage?

 

[MarlboroRed]

To be honest, nothing of value is lost with this change.

Now, hold your pitchforks: I like Mirandas ass as much as the next guy. It's majestic.
But those shots were always laughable. Like, if you'd zoom in any closer you'd start glitching through her model-laughable.

And they happen like, when you are talking serious stuff with her, too.

 

[Ivory Samoan]

My one request - put a shirt on Alenko in the hospital now, even the keel - that shirtless shot in the hosp always makes me cringe a little (he's the only half naked patient as far as I can tell) lol.

Jerk off to whatever you want to. But kind of dumb to pull this card when you made the tread because you were triggerd and have been just active.

I just want you admit your upset ,but not over any real reason. That you don’t care about censorship or any real intellectual argument. You’re just mad that another game is “woke” i.e not pandering to you as much. Funny because it’s such a slight pretty pointless change. I mean that’s what’s transparent. You can’t handle any games doing what you perceive as that.

I don’t post on Ree because it’s an awful forum where you get banned for not falling in line.

 

[Ivory Samoan]

This argument does not fly because they do not make male characters ugly with purpose.

Lol. No, you don’t have a point. Find me a quote were a BioWare developer says “we wanted female Ryder to look ugly”.

Oh I guess your support point is Horizon. The other game with bad character faces. Yeah I guess you are right.

Yes I do believe this because AGAIN they only do it to female characters. They want to remove any sexuality from female Characters. Female Characters in Western Games are not allowed to be sexy. They are not allowed to have any form of sexuality if especially they are straight. And you can perfectly see this with Andromeda. Animations aside which are terrible on both models but if you can actually compare the male model with the real actor and the female model with the real actress than there is something wrong. Thats why the Witcher AGAIN was so fucking refreshing. Women were allowed to be sexy and their used their sexuality to their advantage. Like all the Witches like Yennifer is using magic to control men and also the whole country. Women in The Witcher 3 were the most powerful people in the World of the Witcher but they also did not lose their sexuality.

Same with Horizon. Sony HAS NO Problems to motion cap perfect Character Models if they want. They also have no problems to make female characters look more ugly to kill their sexuality.

[Cherry Sonoshee]

Yes I do believe this because AGAIN they only do it to female characters. They want to remove any sexuality from female Characters. Female Characters in Western Games are not allowed to be sexy.

Yes because they are bad at modeling characters! Even fucking Miranda is ugly in the face. But no it’s a woke conspiracy.

No, what you mean is female characters aren’t allowed to be sexy in your narrow minded view. Which probably means they have to some teenagers idea of sexy. They have to look like pornstars because you have an adolescent idea of sexy females.

Lara Croft isn’t sexy anymore because she doesn’t wear short shorts and have a g cup. But instead is highly detailed and traditionally attractive complete with probably a d cup and beautiful features.

There’s no sex in games yet Cyberpunk and Wolfenstein have more detailed sex then ever before, but I guess Anya isn’t wearing thongs so it’s not sexy. Judy was but Cyboerpunk doesn’t count because western media had critiques about the trans issue. Oh but they sure said the character writing was good and liked characters like Judy!

Faith in Mirror’s Edge Catalyst sure was ugly. I guess she needed to have her tits constantly out for you to like her.

Man the Latina character with the big butt in Apex is not sexy at all.

I guess the super gritty Last of Us series would have been better if Abbie and Ellie just looked like super models.

Man Overwatch dosent have two female characters with well modeled assess.

Mortal Kombat females are now less sexy because they have a little more clothes.

I guess if Feryea looked like a pornstar it would have really fit that games themes of motherhood.

Man Chloe and Drakes wife sure look ugly. I guess Chloe with her defined ass isn’t sexy because you don’t see a thong. Also no cleavage for Drake’s wife so she’s no longer pretty.

Did you need the chick in Gears 5 to wear no armor so you can see her boobs to find her attractive?

The female character in Cold War was sexy because of how detailed her model was and that she looked professional. But I guess the cia agent needs to look like a hooker for you.

So what is it that you want? How do these females need to be dressed for them to be sexy? What if they don’t fit the tone of the game? I guess the developers are just being woke? What is it that you want? All the females to look like characters from Sin Episodes? Even as western developers make more and more games that strive to look realistic.

You might last a while there to be honest.

Puritan censorship is shit, and current day bioware don't deserve to decide how to change the actual good older games they had nothing to do with originally. It's not even censorship, it's an effort to make games less appealing to straight white men by a radical left who demonize them as the cause of all their problems in life.
