I'll be 100% honest with you.
I can't get enough of this cutie patootie!
Love It Hot Ones GIF by First We Feast

I'll never get the cynicism here about mighty keef or some of the comedy/streaming personalities. I love em. Of course I watch all this shit!

Looking at the first clip, I think on top of bad writing a lot of modern games have this issue where the visuals clash with the writing.
Like the writing for the quirky scientist would sort of fit if the game had a cartoony art style, but when it goes for a more realistic look it's just cringe.
It's the same problem with modern FF, the characters look fairly realistic (somewhat stylized, but still realistic), but they move and talk like anime characters.

I think you're right about the disconnect between the visuals and the writing. As for JRPGs (and Japanese games in general), I don't think that's really a new problem. They've been doing it for decades, and I don't expect them to change anytime soon. Modern Western games, on the other hand, often feel like they're written by people whose biggest inspiration is Netflix, and that style doesn't always fit the worlds they're trying to create.

Came for the boob pics.

Left because no boob pics.

Please don't derail the thread, or I'll have to report it to the mods.

It's true that JRPGs have always been like that, but I think as tech progresses and character start looking more realistic, the disconnect between how characters look and act just became worse.

Like if we take FF7, I think a character like Yuffie talking and acting they way she does comes across differently if she looks like this:
250

Instead of this:

Fairly realistic character models talking and acting like anime/cartoon characters is just inherently weird IMO.
It's like the Naruto run. It looks ok in the show but absolutely retarded in the real world.

That's fair, but I'd argue Yuffie has always been like that. Even in the original FF7 she constantly made exaggerated anime-style poses and movements.

Rebirth didn't invent that aspect of her character, it just makes it much more noticeable because she's now rendered with highly realistic visuals.

And that's exactly the dilemma. If Square had toned Yuffie's personality down to match the more realistic visuals, people would probably have complained that she wasn't Yuffie anymore.

I am just never gonna be a person who can watch another nobody do some mundane shit and have opinions, I couldn't think of a worse way to spend my time.

The streamers thing will never make sense to me or why people care about your average 4/10 showing some cleavage doing the fun thing which i could be doing myself.

4 out of 10 she's at least an 8 or9
and no it's not because we're big tits
 
you don't have to be a skinny twig to be hot
she's not fat she just has some meat on her and again no not her tits
She's nowhere near an 8 or 9.

She's at best average. 5 is average

This isnt video game rankings.

And there is a middle ground between skinny twig and chubster.

You can call her pretty, although the makeup is probably doing 90% of that, shes not smoking hot though, not even close.

You have the same energy
 
I'm not saying she's a 10/10, and I don't watch streamers. I think it's one of the most boring thing you can do.

Also I'm confident my girl is hotter than yours. Very, VERY confident 🤷‍♂️
I dont care about your girl my man.

You are pulling the very energy you made a joke meme about by saying that.

Ive not dated anyone above a 6 or 7 and thats not the point of this conversation.

If you girl looks like this streamer then thats fine. It still is a 4 or 5.

If this woman is a 9 then what the fuck does that make an Ana De Armas... a 20?

This is really not a difficult thing to understand.

That was THE POINT. Showing how ridiculous your assertion was. Holy shit some people are dense as F.

LMAO :messenger_tears_of_joy:

Oh no she doesn't. Way more fit, same huge boobs tho :messenger_smirking:

If this woman is a 9 then what the fuck does that make an Ana De Armas... a 20?
Me: I'm not saying she's a 10/10
You: Uh, must be a 9 for him then...

This is really not a difficult thing to understand.
I think you should have sex, will help you release some steam.

We have officially entered the "my gf is hotter than yours" phase like 12 year olds
Yeah... because saying "you should meet some woman" on the internet when you don't know anyone is so much more mature.
I swear some people are too literal, relax buddy it's summer.

Eventually his dad will beat up my dad
I'm confident my dad can beat yours. Very, VERY confident 🤷‍♂️

IT'S A JOKE, RELAX. SAYING IT BECAUSE YOU'RE GONNA TAKE IT SERIOUSLY

Or

We could just admit your responses backfired considering you dont even agree apparently with the entire context of the original conversation which you, yourself quoted me on to mock me originally.

Maybe dont make random quote insults without reading the whole chain of messages to begin with?

No, I stand by it. To say she's average at best is absurd. You could've said "she's not my type", that would have been fine and perfectly understandable.
But no, you had to say "if you think she's hot, you should meet some women" and "She's at best average". Oh and also "have some standards" just to latter add "Ive not dated anyone above a 6 or 7"

GTFO.

So, the guy randomly saying "you should meet some women" is unhappy? Cry me a river.

Again, same energy:

Now go back with your 6 that is most likely uglier than that streamer. And next time don't try to lecture people on having some standards :messenger_grinning_squinting:

woof you have some problems...

I doubt there even is a girl at this point with someone with the emotional maturity of a 12 year old

EDIT: I love how contradictory you are too, you have the hottest girl ever, big titted super model, but an average 4/5 is like smoking hot too. So which is it :messenger_tears_of_joy: :messenger_tears_of_joy:

your giving off "never even touched a girl before" vibes

One thing I can't stand is when a character looks at the scenery and goes, "Wow, what a view! This is incredible"
It's like the developers are praising their own game through the characters. "Look how amazing our game is. You should be impressed"

Just let the environment speak for itself. Let the audience decide whether it's impressive.

Oh yeah because that response is so much more mature. Clearly you're a real man.

No, just hotter than yours is all I said. But that joke is hard to swallow it seems.
Now I'm biased because I'm in love, so for me she's the hottest for sure. But overall I'd say she's a 8.5. A real 8.5 not some overrated girl mind you.

Ok let's be real for a second, for me that streamer is something like a 6.5. But I can see people thinking she's a 7 or even up to an 8 because huge boobs you know, men like that and she's not "ugly" as per say (though not super pretty IMO).

"woof you have some problems...

Copy/pasting your own words because I think it's pretty accurate after that statement.

Alot of overcompensating here.

More power to you though.
