Have you realized that we haven't seen a single beautiful/sexy female character in both Sony's and MS's shows??

Um, how about the Fable fairy? She was kind of cute.

j/k. She was probably underage or something.

Anyhow, OP, this isn't something I noticed during the presentations myself, but now that you point it out, I think you're probably right.

She isnt real, no need to get offended on her behalf.

If society collapses, remaining humanity is going to stink real bad, die before the age of forty, have real shitty teeth, messed up bodies from malnourishment and life long parasite infections. I was just trying for a little humour juxtaposing the reality if something like that, and our stupid corporate media version in the context of videogame sexual appeal, which tries to walk the line of wokeness without actual ugliness.

Lmao of course the guy that thinks the ginger goblin is attractive is one of the people projecting and taking video games so seriously 😂😂😂

2 neck beards that refer to women as goblins and garbage thinking that an adult would be bothered by 2 frat boys.
Yes she isn't real. I was the one that told you that in the first place. It's you that hasn't realise that with juxtaposing her with reality, you make her more real than I do! And why be prick and reply to my message first in thd first place with nothing to actually to add? The SJWs got you down? Not enough butt's to munch?

So you play a clip of 2 lesbians where 1 of them says to the other they smell like garbage like that proves any point apart from people stink, it happens. You could stink 5 minutes after a shower if you sweat enough.
As for deadly parasites... That is literally the whole set up for 1 of the games. Way to get only part way logical with how the future could be, but entirely miss how the future was played out.

What about sexy men? 😥 Why are all men in video games portrayed as vicious killers!?
Click to expand...
So many games are disguised hunting and gather simulators. A huge part of games revolve about surviving and killing threats. Thus most protagonists are going to be vicious killers. But at least DMC 5 present both the guys and the girls as sexy. I can't speak from a female perspective what is sexy, do they need exposed abs, muscular arms and such or is it personality and clothes occupation etc. What would be a good example of sexy males in games?

i am not sure what we are arguing about.

I dont find most vg characters appealing. Last one I thought was attractive was that one from mass effect Andromeda. I totally would have had coffe with someone who looked like that.

post apoc characters I find repellent because I think they would stink and be riddled with intestinal worms. They kinda turn my stomach, tbh. That's me. You do you.

irl, after first date, or especially after first sex, it is all about whether there is any kind of friendship type connection, as in 'do I like hanging out with this person, or do they make me want to stab my self i the brain', not how big are their boobs or pouty their lips. Sure, there needs to be something got that initial attraction, but after that, it doesn't matter...as long as they wipe front to back. You know, not every woman does...shiver.

Yeah I'm already right past that stage of caring about the ins and outs of relationships. I don't care if people think that I have Aloy as my waifu (I'm old. It's Chun Li). I have 2 little shits (I mean beautiful angels) that I wake up to every morning, that come with constant wants and demands. If you want to discuss the vagaries of post apocalyptic dating do's and don'ts, then we'll have a discussion.
But I hate the dishonesty of people like you that go "Oh I want to find someone with meaning and connection, but she stinks, it's a deal breaker! If she craps or wees herself then that's an instant no"
Well then never get a woman pregnant. Because that shit happens and it's not by choice.
So the future would be smelly and disease filled and stuff. But as a possible resident of the future, so would we. Would you be so picky about females if you were in TLOU's world too?
You make the point of her not being real and that she's a fictional character but then make comments on her as if she was real.
Basically I have a problem of going "She's not real, but if she was, I'd bet she'd stink" which is definitely incel realms of female objectivety.

And there's the projection. Speak for yourself because you don't speak for me.

My high horse is reserved for the shitposters... Right beside the donkey I keep for memes.
As for humourless, well I'll just say what I already said a few posts earlier...

There's no need to be upset :messenger_sunglasses:

Beauty is subjective. What you think is beautiful was taught to you by those who were trying to sell a certain aesthetic when you were younger. Young people playing these new games will have a different perspective of beauty as the culture in entertainment changes.

I call BS on this one.

No one taught me what a beautiful woman was, I knew the moment I saw her.

My five year old daughter walked by as I was playing ghosts of Tsushima did a double take at the tv and asked me why all of the girls in the game were ugly and started giggling

This explains why male leads either look like women with short hair and less makeup or another race entirely. Why are they so down on their own looks? Isn't that dude modeled after an actual model? From JRPG prtoagonists to even Ryu from SF(looks Spanish or dark haired caucasian), it is rare for their characters to resemble an Asian.

Japan loves their attractive fantasy characters I guess. I wouldn't mind if they all looked like this

Better than looking at a bunch of ugly people irl and in video games lol. And you're right about the looks thing. Anime, video games, none of that shit really has characters that look Asian.

It's kind of incredible how these specific designs have groomed already significant portion of games into actually liking them even to arousal.

There is an androgynous push it was often by Japan to make males more feminine like in final fantasy. But the west is making females more manly.

i love how the response to "why can't we have sexy characters in our games" is "go watch more porn"

like lol what kind of weird prudish life do you live where all depictions of sex has to be isolated to porn?

it's hilarious the way these posters try to kink shame people. like there can't exist any nuance between "showing some cleavage" "hardcore fucking"

it's this pathetic gatekeeping which keeps games "from growing up". normal healthy adults have no problem with sex in media. it's just funny how hysterical people get if a boob is rendered in a video game.

as an adult heterosexual male im down for some sexy ladies. nothing wrong w that and im sick of people telling me there is.

You are 100% correct. It is like the gaming industry almost can't grow up.

I am all in for strong female characters. I like them and I think they are important.

I think it is important to have a variety of games and characters.

There is nothing wrong with sexy male and female characters.

I am glad we past the time of women as sexy characters only. But now it is time for something natural and encompassing.
Women (same as men) men can be strong/weak + smart/dumb + good/evil + beautiful/ugly + sexy/not sexy + brave/coward + funny/serous + a long list.
I would like to see all combinations of this features and this includes sexy and non sexy characters.

Not sure about everyones countries but in mine, women dress way, way more sexy than any AAA videogame today. And I don't think this women should be shamed by videogames.

She looks like they took her out of harness after she tilled soil for 40 years as a work horse.
 
Those type of characters already exist (overwatch, smite, league of legends) and continue to show up (black widow, female character in tell me why, elif in bloodlines 2) even if you arbitrarily limit it to Western studios.

Aloy suffer from that bad light good light sindrome from seinfeld, sometimes she looks fine, sometimes she straight up look like a fat man face...or wayne rooney.
Her child version is nightmare fuel in any light condition tho.

Yeah, it sounds like that they're praising the game for making it more grounded and real by using a middle aged man rather than the usual anime heart-throb type of protagonist like you'd get in Final Fantasy. It's the game where you're playing as Cid rather than Cloud.
 
have you missed the corporate memo?

all women in games should be angry lesbos with disturbing faces, dyed armpit hair and overweight

it's to counterbalance decades of pudgy Mario's mushroom-infused antics

I'm nearly 30 and yet I look her age (early 20's). I guess you wrinklies don't stand a chance. Regardless she is a babe not ruined by horrible over sized plastic tits. El natural 👌
 
Not sure I fully agree with you, OP. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that.

That said: You know, I'd totally deal with this representation if it didn't mean that they'd have to eradicate the counterpart out of existence in games for some asinine reasons. Why is it mostly one-side? What happened to variety of appearence and character? I mean, fuck, I'd totally take a western created femme fatale character that embraces her sexuality and uses it to get her ways.

If you dont think society has anything to do with standards of beauty then i guess we're reading different stuff. Standards of beauty has changed many times throughout history and other cultures. Im not going to get into a history lesson.

Standards of beauty never changed in cultures that worshipped the human body: physically fit males and females are abound in Greek, Roman, etc. cultures.

Would you want to see something "darker" and more adult-oriented from Rare? We haven't seen such games from them in that style since 2005.
