The design doesn’t fit in with the game and doesn’t look like a real person. The only reason to like it is just if you think it’s sexy. It’s fine if you do, but that doesn’t make it a good character design.
 
She's completely distracting in that she stands out from the background too much, that hyper shiny butt and 4m legs looks rediculous against a really well done post apocalyptic landscape, the art style is all over the place but then again it's designed to appeal to cunts with anime avatars, should add I'm not against female characters being asethically pleasing to the eye but I'd feel embarrassed as fuck playing this and the wife walked in...
How about when you and your wife meet with a friend of hers/yours that dresses sexy/revealing? Maybe acquaintances, co-workers, you get it, do you also feel embarrassed and avoid those women?

Exposing the sinister cartel of retailers who allow companies to pay for advertising space.
It's funny how proponents of diversity are actually in favor of uniformity. Character designs by Korean game developers should not reflect the taste of their country, but of politically correct US/EU game reviewers.

I also cringe at these sexualized designs

Takes me out of the experience completely.

Because I know that the reason why it was designed that way wasnt because of the game's lore, story or something, but 'cause sex sells.

A girl wearing stuff like that while fighting monsters ...

Well, whatever floats your boat. Doesnt float mine.

Samus is sexy af, but she is wearing armor and etc. that makes sense for what she does during the game, for example

Its not like I have an axe to grind here. I would also cringe seeing Marcus fighting the Locust in Gears of War while he jumps all over the place in spandex with the camera focusing on his crotch

The outfit is mostly alright. I just don't like that it is so shiny or glossy. Go to a mall and you'll definitely see girls wearing far more skimpier outfits.

Just cos some girls wear sexy outfits in real life doesn't necessarily mean this isn't obvious sexual objectification.

Those girls who might objectify themselves do so (let's assume) of their own volition. It's their choice. It's totally different for male game developers to present a female character in such an unnecessary and sexual way.

I think my question to ALex is what are his thoughts on Bayonetta? She is similar in design, same as 2B. I think if you take out the butt shot that people literally look for on 2B her outfit is somewhat elegant in my opinion. Very Victorian even.
But Alex needs to realize where this game is coming from. Literally Korea, where woman are still subjugated, and asian territories alone woman still are objectified in tons of mediums like tv, films, video games.

Did he not know it was a foreign country that made the game? The game literally is in foreign language?
To me thats the difference with people like ALex and all the resetera people. It's almost like they have never been to another country? Do they know that a lot of the objectifying in asian countries is part of their culture and has been for a long ass time?

I mean progress has been made from studios within mainly Japan. But in Korea, CHina, Singapore not so much.

I understand Alex behaving like that, but Audi? After Audi saying he get depressing for not getting Bayonneta 3 news?

Smell like bullshit to me.

This just in, game characters are real people. Filthy incel game developer should've gotten consent from the character before making her sexy. Men, smh.

There was one shot that showed they modeled the suit so tight it showed off her labia. I’m all for having natural full figured gals but when I can distinguish the labia it’s a bit much, like seeing the head of some guys dick when he’s wearing sweatpants and no underwear.

It still looks like a cool game to play.
Give me labia shots, dick prints, and nipple noticers... Or give me death!

Yeah this gal is such a slice of real life, so fucking obvious.

Jesus Christ.

Alex Battaglia is a gigantic twat; this game's main character is clearly sexist.

Both things can be true.

So, somebody on the internet said something you disagree with. How triggered does that make you? The anti-woke are often worse than those they like to condemn.
So what does that make the anti-anti-woke?

The design is refreshing in a world where our choices are usually limited to ugly """"realistic"""" female characters. If this game isn't for somebody, isn't that ok too? You don't see me dragging on and on about games I have no intention of playing, so let people that like this sort of thing have this win.

*edit*

What in the what? Because she wears tight clothing and isn't ugly, it's sexist? How many quarter pounders does someone need to digest to come to this conclusion?

Don't know why some people are so invested in this stuff.
And it goes in both ways.
I've read so many hot takes both on this game and Forspoken from opposite points of view.
I won't play it if the main character is too sexualized, I won't play it if the main character is a black woman :lollipop_flores:
Try to enjoy games accepting there are different audiences and there's a place for different forms of expression?

I'm offended that you think they are objectifying themselves. They are obviously just wearing these super tight skimpy outfits because they are comfortable.

it is just a typical korean fantasy game.

I find weird they are attacking this game when we have Bayonetta for instance.

Seems like to me they never liked Bayonetta and the only reason to not criticize her is because shes absurdly popular.


Should add I'm not against female characters being asethically pleasing to the eye

Shes a female and pleasing to the eye, so you are totally against these type female characters lmao

Bayonetta's designer was a woman.


Sayoko Hoshino was in charge of character texturing on Final Fantasy Type-0. For her contribution to Square Enix's ongoing "Creator's Message" series at the game's official blog, Hoshino decided to share details about her work on the game's panties.

Will never forget about this gem.

Suddenly a couple console generations later, we are not allowed to have a beautiful AND sexy females in games. Because reasons

How does he know it's not flattering to a "modern audience"? Where's the data that shows these new preferences that account for a significant portion of the gaming and potential gaming population (since it wouldn't be of interest a research paper polling 70 year-old people, or anyone who only plays mobile stuff)?
This is what I want to know. What is the logic and reasoning behind these arguments of:

"It's not for a 'Modern Audience'"

As you noted, has this guy scene what the Mobile/Gacha scene is all about? How much percentage of gaming audience is that? Especially the amount of money it rakes in. Here's a very recent design from the super popular Genshin Impact:

I dont understand why he finds her distracting. Is he distracted by every attractive woman he meets in his life?

Get a life. Hot women exist among us. Learn how to deal with them without getting distracted and stop putting them on a pedestal.

what she’s wearing is less revealing than most girls wearing those GymShark yoga pants where you can literally see their ass crack, and that’s the intended purpose to look naked but not be naked.

this is the stupidest talking point ever

every single action here game features some roided up bodybuilder showing off his muscles…do they need to be white knighted as well? Who is standing up for the toxic male misrepresentation?

Your wife has never told you that she finds other chicks attractive? if my wife walked in, she would comment on how hot this chick is and make a funny sexual innuendo. Girls like seeing attractive women. Thats why most Netflix trash has great looking actresses instead of ugly bettys.

Well I should've said the main character and her presentation in the trailer, ie all the shots lingering on her extremely pronounced ass and pussy and some lovely jiggling titties thrown in.

FFS if people are so blinded by a desperation to oppose any "woke" opinion that they can't admit that that's just blatant objectification (and therefore what most people would consider sexist) then they're just lost as rational human beings.

I'm not outraged by the game/trailer. I found it funny tbh. I wouldn't want to censor it or anything, and I hate all these neo-puritan cunts on Resetera. But I'm honest enough to concede that the design is demeaning.

I embrace being distracted. I dont hide my instinct if noones harmed.
