Tjey probably expected unrealistic sales numbers

That would be my assumption because I remember it reviewing extremely well and DS fans being over the moon with it. Hard to understand how it's a failure unless the numbers really weren't there, and as SonicHuman just said we may never know what those where. 

The only rewriting of history going on there is saying MHA made anime mainstream. 

Wait I thought the Dead Space 1 remake was a bug success....did I hear wrong?

I've always had good experiences with their customer service honestly

The few times I've called its been a nightmare and that seems to be the general consensus from most people who have had to use it. 

I'm really glad it worked out for you tho, fighting CS is something people really shouldn't have to do. 

Edit: @Darc_RequiemYo for like a solid month my favorite way to pass time idly was to look up black people reacting to Ram Jams Black Betty or Wild Cherrys Play That Funky Music White Boy and losing their shit when they see both those bands are white as fuuuuuuuuuuuck 🤣

Female characters in Western developed games are being made less attractive than the models they are scanned from. This isn't even debatable

It's actually 1000% debatable becaue beauty is 1000% subjective Darc. Your personal ideas of what is pretty isn't every single person's idea of pretty. It's just a general concensus. The fact I'm not the only one in just this one small thread alone saying they aren't ugly disproves your statement immedietly.

Also rolling out Stellar Blade is just weak, at least roll out a woman with an actual unrealistic body type. 

Eves hips are wider then her shoulders, her body type is unrealistic. They've edited her model to be more attractive. It's not a 1 to 1 scan.

 Or pick someone from a fighting game, most of us here play or have played them at some point. Plenty of options there. I mean if you going pull something from Shift Up's catalog use one of the numerous female characters the lead developer's wife designed for their other games. It can runs counter to the general narrative that assumes attractive female characters only designed by dudes but hey didn't stop the Bayonetta criticism. So have at it. At least Bayonetta's body is actually unrealistic.

I dunno any other games Shift Up has made to pull from so I can't. Haven't done that research. From what little i know its all mobile/gacha shit i dont give a fuck about. You're welcome to name any other characters you want tho, we can go all day with that. Bayonetta's body is EXTREMELY unrealistic, her arms and legs are inhumanly long as is her torso. It serves a function beyond just titillation tho as it makes her animations much much easier to read. 

You seem to have come away from this convo thinking I have a problem with unrealistic character designs when I don't at all. I just also have 0 issue with extremely realistic character designs to, designs that fit the characters and the lives they lead. 

I love having both super model heroes and regular Joe Schmoe heroes. 

I like both of these things so there is nothing for me to rail against because I'm getting both of what I want from the games I buy. When I'm done with realism of a sort I switch to some anime ass lookin shit like FF7R, I just put over 120 hours into that and everyone's Anime JPop looking as fuck in that game and I love it. But I also love Horizon trying to sell me a reaslitc-ish role play heavy experience. I'm playing a Techno Barbarian not a runway model, I would like her to look like the Techno Barbarian she is not the super model Coomers want her to be. I would like my Outter Rim Star Wars Bounty Hunter to look like an Outter Rim Star Wars Bounty Hunter not a Super Model in the Imperial issue of Sheeves Weekly.

Bro, I already posted evidencdethe other times we had this convo, with mesh compsritions even, uding blender with the ripped 3d models

 

Yet here you are always willfuly ignoring evdence and claiming is fake shit. 

 

Is clear that arguing with you about this is a fucking waste of time, so why should I bother to post again all the evidence just for you to ignore it again, lmao.

 

A mere glance at the pucs you posted show how thy changed the 3d model to be more masculine. 

 

They even went on record multiple times on interviews talking how they purposefuly made the changes to make her look stronger amd not as weak super model, yet you are ignoring all of that disingenuously. 

 

You always do this.

 

 

I have never denied she looked a bit more masculine the argument is if she's ugly and if they are making her uglier. You can't accuse me of "Doing this shit all the time" when you want to move the goal post from manly and ugly to a little masculine and strong. 

Yes they made her a little more masculine and strong looking because she would be living the life she lives. The argument is if they purposfully made her UGLY. The argument is they wilfully went out of their way to make her an unnattractive character. That's the actual argument you and others like the Star Wars post have been making. Bot that they are a bit more masculine or something bit they are wilfully making their characters ugly. 

That's the argument I'm railing against. Not if she's slightly more masculine or not that's brain dead obviously apparant. She's slightly heavier all around because she's carrying more muscle mass. That's relatively realistic. 

You are presenting your position dissengenously in that post. Your argument is and always has been they made her ugly, not that they made her a little more masculine and strong. 

That guy seems to be an idiot based on that one tweet (can't see threads), like it doesn't take a whole lot of imagination to see why that's a pretty bad situation. 

What's weird to me is people now acting like it's a problem. Were where you all 15 years ago when this started? Had to have this convo with a bunch of people about Deagons Dogma 2. "If we don't protest now it will get worse" You are 15 to 20 years too late my dude. Those protests are long dead buried back when SFxT was a thing. Hell y'all missed the boat with RE2R, 3R, 4R, MHW, MHR, and irony or ironies, Fucking Dragons Dogma 1  11 years ago!!! Lol

I'm not against a sudden change in public perception but it's funny you all want to care now lol.

This might be unpopular, but I think Steam's success has been a net negative for gaming given that they're a defacto monopoly and that they normalized internet-as-delivery-method and non-physical games.

And their customer service is absolutly fucking dog shit because Gabens from IT and believes in the ticket system. It's part of why I don't use Steam I Dread having to deal with Valve Customer Service should something go wrong with my account that would have thousands of dollars of purchases attached to it. 

Fucking Sony and Nintendos customer service is better. Think about that.

Lmao, no. 

But if is what you want to believe feel free to do it. 

Then post actual screen shots bro. I literally posted a screen shot I took from the game below your post and you ignored it becauee posting old photos you pull off of Google is way easier then actually dealing with real screen shots from the actual game by actual players. 

Only one believing fake shit here is you to push this stupid idea that videogame characters being made ugly. They aren't, they just aren't pandering to your bishoujo pvc women statue fetish like Stellar Blade is. Aloy isn't remotly ugly or Manish in Forbidden West. She's slightly heavier in the face, that's it, as per my actual in real time screen shot from the game of her face last night. It's amazing how my screen shot from the game doesn't look anything like your picture. 

Edit:Hell ill even take requests, I'll take any screen shot of her from the game you or anyone else wants.

It kinda defeats the purpose of buying physical if the version of the game that ships physically is outdated before it's even released.

And yet almost all of them do and have for 15 years at least. 

So is the tag wrong? You pretty much need the internet for a proper install or else you're playing probably a buggy broken mess. I don't want to play Day 1 pre patch Elden Ring I'll tell you what.

Why is it always that same picture?

Because it's all they have. 

With how many day 1 patches there are it's kinda true.....

Weird how she doesn't look like that in my game. I must have a special version. 

Whoever made that comparison picture is a liar pushing a narrative.

To each their own, but Aloy always looked gorgeous to me in both games.

Same. I'm playing through it again right now cuz I haven't done the Burning Shores stuff yet and she looks great. She's a bit heavier in the face but not much and it's not remotely ugly. 

I dunno man all this is really starting to have "Pointy elbows, 3 out of 10, would not bang" energy.

3d model vs reality

Weird, I dont see any ugly people in either of these photos. I see a model all trussed up with makeup and perfect lighting, and then I see a character very clearly based on her but not under absolutly perfect super model conditions. 

Where is the ugly person? 

This reeks of "Year of Luigi" lol.

cuz mayor adams =dem

So they are so butt hurt over an election they are physically assaulting women? They're that mentally fragile, and unable to control their own emotions? Sounds real Snowflake behaivor to me. If thats really the reason then thats fucking pathetic.

I have my doubts tho. 

How did the election result in those women getting punched in the face!?!?! Lol 

The fuck kind of reach is that?

Watching the preview clip on Steam along with a youtube playthrough and it's really tough for me to make out some of the enemy bullets from your own attack. 

Yea there's a lot of bullet bleeding together, the bosses are massive and eat up so much screen space, hit boxes on everything are massive, bullets are really fast. 

Tatsujin Oh translates to Expert King/Emperor and Toaplan really went for it when making the game, its for experts. It's so fucking hard. I'm really hoping the future M2 Shottriggers for Toaplan games has settings to tone it down like most of their games do because it's just so fuckung brutal.

@RSG3I agree with you. Did you ever play Rogue? I heard that it was lot like Black Flag. Never got around to it. Thought about picking it up on PC. It's like $20.

Naw I never did. An AC game needs a pretty strong gimmick for me to take notice and Rogue just looked like Black Flag and I got that with BF so I left it be. The Greek setting (and the game on sale and all DLC for 20 bucks) is what got me to look at Odysse and I enjoyed it but I probably won't get Origins of Valahalla or anything. 

Being a "Bad Assassins Creed" game isnt the knock against it AC fans seem to think it is lol.

Odyssee was the first time I had fun with an AC game since Black Flag (I did not play Origins) 

Just a heads up for anyone interested in Truxton II/Tatsujin OH! On Steam, that game is BRUTALLY hard. Like even shmup pros say it goes too far lol.

New episode of Bullet Heaven (I guess it's back....) is all about Tatsujin/TRUXTON!!!

Lol Hell Divers 2 is super duper fucking political, it's just politics you gel with so it doesn't get under your skin.

And that reminds me of something Chris Claremont said on Twitter, Stan Lee once told him

Marvel characters are like toys, writers can take them out of their packaging and play with them,

but they have to return them to their boxes when they are done playing.

Gotta disagree with Stan there, no kid puts their toys back in the box. That's honestly kinda stupid and why Comic Books are stale.
