People are criticizing SIlent hill F mod that makes the main character Hinako more pretty,

The "More Kawaii Hinako"is one of the most popular on Nexus Mod, with over 4,700 downloads. According to the mod's description, its goal is to "adjust the model to achieve better facial symmetry, soften the jawline, and slightly shorten the chin," which has generated strong negative reactions on social media.

One player pinned the blame on Hinako's "modelling optimisation" (a roundabout way of saying the 14-year-old isn't attractive enough) on "Western market censorship", while others went as far as to say these tweaks "saved the game" because her "face is certainly prettier". Some, however, argue that it hasn't gone far enough, calling on the creator to "refine her nose a bit more" and even "make the jaw a bit smaller".

Pure nonsense... I like Silent Hill f... And Hinako is very cute, and so are the main characters.

That and the atmosphere... I give Konami a 10.

That's what an envious newspaper says.

This is how the actress looks like.

Yes, TheGamer and reddit are fucking retarded.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Just say she's a 9,000 year old dragon and these nerd sites pretending to have moral virtue will ignore it.

 

[Alexios]

Looks fine either way, just a person. Zero reason to go after mods, are you beating up kids who doodle their favorite characters slightly different to how they really are as well or what? But also zero reason to push it as better. Just ignore it or use it, whatever.

 

[LordCBH]

Honestly? Who fucking cares.

Japanese women are beautiful, and a good tactic is to treat them as they are... without falling into Westernization.

It's great that Konami has returned with enthusiasm; I'll gladly support them.

Protect the rights of fictional characters!

...kind of disgusting PDF shit is this? Some people have some sick minds. To be clear folks, the context of the game, she is a MINOR!

 

[Sakura]

She's 14? I figured she was like 18 or something given how damn powerful she is.
In any case, her face is literally just the actresses who is like 26 years old, and that mod sucks anyway because I can't tell the damn difference.

Hanako

Spoiler: Actually

There are so many layers of dumbness here i don't know where to begin

More Kawaii Hinako

Maybe the E.T crash should have lasted longer.

 

[Aressa]

This isn't bad at all compared to the west. I'm okay with it.

 

[Punished Miku]

 

[ZehDon]

... is this a prank? I can't see a difference?

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Both in game shot doesn't look good either way and still got that off putting look but the real life actress from post 4 looks good.

 

[GateofD]

is 4000 downloads suppose to be a lot? don't really follow mod culture, so like .001 of mod players downloaded it or something?

Can't tell a difference from the pictures, is it an attempt at making them look more western or something? Seems like a nothing burger mod and nothing burger article.

 

[digimaster7]

Love it whenever thegamer cry about something

She is not.

Bingo.

 

[Kamina]

I barely see any difference. Don't these "journalists" have anything better to do with their time?

 

[Pantz]

There are spoilers in regards to the character's real age so it's difficult to discuss. Some have already posted it.

No way Jose. Now I'm going to post obtuse pics from a game and watch GAFFERS riot. I'll even make sure they know I rented it on GameFly. It'll really grind their gears.

"Dozens of people clutch their pearls about something entirely optional"

Some pathetic responses in this thread. Who cares if somebody wants to mod a character's face? I don't even own the game and I think the left just looks more like a real human.

It was a little insensitive on my part, I forgot the game is still relatively new. I blast through games I like.

 

[Jesb]

Why are they even making a main character a young school girl. Who asked for this….

Is this your first encounter with Japanese games? 90% of them must be boys/girls in this age range.

Yes, TheGamer and reddit are fucking retarded.

She is attractive but she doesn't look like a 14 year old.

 

[GateofD]

if only she had arms

 

[Dirk Benedict]

She is attractive but she doesn't look like a 14 year old.

She'll look like that until she's 39 years old. She looks a little older than 14. more like 18-19

Weird? She is already cute
