[Vick]

Gaming is healing for real.

 

[Deft Beck]

Gives new meaning to the phrase "bust adjustment".

 

[OmegaSupreme]

We keep winning

 

[Miles708]

Is that the same scene? The lighting is completely different. What an upgrade

 

[Rush2112]

The title sounds way better than the picture.

[violence]

I don’t know why people ever listened to cat ladies talk about how polygonal women are treated.

 

[consoul]

The reproportioned head is much better. Nice one.

 

[Madflavor]

She's a fox in the remake, I won't let anyone tell me otherwise.

 

[YCoCg]

...I'll be honest that wasn't a title I was expecting to read.

 

[Kurotri]

Bloober just keeps delivering

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

well, maybe when i play it there will be not need to use mods at all.

 

[bender]

Now move the butterfly tattoo back to her waist.

 

[Holammer]

A mandate from Konami perhaps?
No way most western devs would fix something that would be seen as an "incel win".

 

[Pop]

 

[Fake]

Another win for #teamincel

 

[Bartski]

Hows the chin boys?

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

I was a Bloober hater and now after SH2 I'm a Bloobevier.

 

[Vick]

It is.
But the first screenshot could be from the 6 months old build shipped on disc, instead of the D1 version.

I'd call this a victory in general, that giant head looked insanely goofy before.
Looks much better across the board.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

You mean Fox Mulder? He's in the game isn't he?

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

WE DID IT, BOYS

BOOBER TEAM DONT MISS

 

[Bloobs]

 

[kapshin]

She transitioned nicely.

 

[Hugare]

Gaming is healing for real.

She looks like a freaking monster on the below comparison. Dont see it as a win.

I much preffer the lighting on the first comparison tho

Honestly I dont see much difference, I just wanted to be on the drogauth topic hype

 

[Revolutionary]

Better late than never, but people have been pointing out that her head is too big since her reveal.

At this pace maybe they'll fix Angela's face in a few months.

Well face is the same, just not bobblehead. And better hair physics. Not a flattering screenshot, that's all.

You might want to check the lower portion.

They already changed her face from the initial announcement / 1.0 to what was shipped on release.

[lh032]

Boob is still too small.

 

[Revolutionary]

[Kacho]

I’m getting tired of winning all the time

 

[Shin-Ra]

Is she supposed to look like a lady in her 50’s in the new game?

 

[digdug2]

I was a Bloober hater and now after SH2 I'm a Bloobevier.

A Blue Beaver, you say?

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

These damn rare incel victories!!!

 

[Tajaz2426]

Maybe time for a purchase. I stick to the old adage, “I’ve never seen a man spend money on a whore and ask for the ugly one”.

 

[Madflavor]

Is she supposed to look like a lady in her 50’s in the new game?

Bro that's pretty damn good looking for a 50 year old.

 

[Hugare]

Well face is the same, just not bobblehead. And better hair physics. Not a flattering screenshot, that's all.

You might want to check the lower portion.

Yeah, Ive noticed the lower portion. More clevage.

I'm more worried about the lighting changes making characters/scenes look worse, honestly.

She has a clevage, but the new lighting makes her look horrible on that specific scene.

I'm curious about replaying it to notice how some scenes compare to the day one version

 

[Shin-Ra]

Bro that's pretty damn good looking for a 50 year old.

Ehhh, I’m gonna disagree. She wasn’t super pretty in the original but mutton dressed as lamb she was not.

 

[Madflavor]

Ehhh, I’m gonna disagree. She wasn’t super pretty in the original but mutton dressed as lamb she was not.

I think you got really high standards for how beautiful a woman should look in her 50s, all I'm saying.

 

[Red Crayon Aristocrat]

They slutified her by 30%

 

[Mister Wolf]

The Chuds won?

 

[peek]

Could have missed it in that list, but was it mentioned at all? Or was this a stealth change? Or should I say... fix?

 

[FUBARx89]

Pretty sure they did that on the launch patch. I got early access version on PS5 & Maria looked like that then.

 

[mitch1971]

I get it now. Appease the puritans during review time, then boom slide that slider up baby.

 

[Vyse]

Smaller head, bigger boobs. Stop drilling, you hit oil!

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

but do they jiggle now?
