I hate Rufus, he's one of my least favorite SF characters of all time. I shit on him at every opportunity. I can't stand that fat bastard but at least he's a dude so I'm allowed hate him.

@ChadoukenWait a minute, you got me thinking about something. Where was all the unrealistic body type complaining for her? The thirst for her was unreal and no one seemed to have a problem with it.

ha, mannnn this argument will never end... the mention of MK girls did remind me though of just how ugly the new Tanya is; even amongst that cast she stands out in a bad way to me... that was quite a shame there considering how she and the other ones looked previously.  Sure, eye-candy is not the only thing of importance, but it's a nice side bonus in the mix, and I don't see the point in reducing or removing that.

 

We need MS to hurry up and reveal more of the new Fable so that could be the next trash-fire for everyone to argue and/or laugh about 😆  I imagine that should be a good one for sure.  If they keep things more or less the same---at the very least in Fable you could choose whether that main character is a dude or a woman (in current era I'm sure it will formally be referred to as "Body type 1" or "Body type 2", of course), so there's that option in the mix.

 

 

It will never end because it isn't an honest discussion. I talked about how much I hated Birdie being fat in SFV. I never got "why does it matter" comment for it. In fact, none of the vitiriol and puerile nonsense came up then. When it comes to male characters you can have real discussion on appearance. The "why does matter crowd " only holds that belief when it comes female characters being made less attractive. If it's an attractive female character they lose their minds. See the absurd Stellar Blade discourse along with the 2B and Bayonetta revisionist history. If it's a male character's appearance the reaction is either crickets or the type of articles that would make them "REEEE" if the subject was female. Hot Ryu wasn't an issue at all and to be clear, it shouldn't be one. So what if people want post thirsty articles or comments about him. There is no consistency at all. While it wasn't perfect, the discussion around BG3 was at least more reasonable. People frothing at the mouth for Astarion weren't bitching about people drooling over Shadowheart.

Yeah letting him go free instead of focusing on getting the wrongfully convicted brothers out of jail is the way to go 🙄

People bitched last year about her render in Jedi Survivor 2 lol. 

Bitched about the quality of the render or bitched about her being scanned into another game. I've only seen the latter.

It's amazing how multiple developers across several games can model Debra Wilson with no problems. 🤔

Must be your neck of the woods, because most of my acquaintances (and myself) just find it to be annoying/hilariously stupid. Not something they would go out on the streets  with pitchforks and torches for.

Just based on what I've been told the main issues seem to be that pronunciation in Spanish and the general feeling that it's label non-Spanish speakers came out with. However given the touchiness of the term, I just don't use it. I don't even like typing it. The reaction I've gotten is the white people calling black people the N word reaction. I know it's causing issues for progressive candidates but that would be going into politics, so I'm going to leave it at that.

Edit: @RSG3I'll keep it short. Dont assign an opinion to me that I did not express. I have no patience for people putting words in my mouth. Feel free disagree with any position I actually have.

Darc and Heca seem more concerned with her looking runway ready then looking the part she's playing. 

You seem to be more concerned with moving goalposts and arguing against what you believe people have said. Than actually having a true back and forth discussion. I'm about equity. The same standards should be applied to everyone evenly. I shouldn't have to spell that out for you. It something I bring up often across multiple subjects.

As well as the gender neutral language thing. Is that where you actually draw the line? LMFAO

Spanish speakers find neutral language offensive. I've seen too many people, co-workers and friends, get triggered at mere mention of "latinx". I've straight up been told by multiple Spanish speakers that they'd rather be called a slur.

Because:

1.) There's debate, even here, on if there even were changes in the first place.

2.) If there are these tiny differences between model and character (for regular characters that should be 1-1), they could be for a multitude of reasons relating to gaming engine.

3.) Again, even if there were these changes, we're talking changes where people debate if they exist. That lets you know they're not serious. Why are these non-serious changes grinding to you personally? If they changed it, what do you get out of a game where the in game model looks a little more like the face model?

1.) To be perfectly honest, I don't find it to be a debate as much as disengenous discussion with frequently moving goalposts. 

2.) These discussions only seem to pop with Western developed games. Eastern developed games on the same platforms often using the same game engines don't generate this discussion.

3.) There are changes. Why are there changes is the question. Why does the "why's does matter crowd" toss that mantra aside any time there is an attractive female character? Why does their standards conventially leave out male characters? Especially when it's proven that both men and women prefer attractive characters. Titantic didn't set box office records because Leonardo D'Caprio was an average looking dude.  Attractive female characters are apparently killing women like Hogwart's Legacy was "killing trans people". I guess physical copies of both games are breaking into houses and the blu-ray discs are flying around taking people out like Talec from I Come In Peace

I'm curious, and I want to get past the "to each his own" stuff: what does any of this matter?

 

I'm not being sarcastic; what does any of this matter?

My query is this.  Why doesn't that question fall on the people making the changes in the first place?

I remember there were a lot of people on SRK saying the 30th Anniversary port was ass.  I owned the game and it seemed fine to me. Mind you I didn't have any other versions to compare it to, but it felt great offline in training mode and the online had rollback and was comparable to other games with rollback at the time.  

The SF3 ports are something else. It seems like they are all off to varying degrees. Is there a port considered legit? 3SOE seemed to be well received from what I remember. It's still ridiculous that 30th had worse netcode that 3SOE.

OJ was a wild AF dude.   This man the only killer to get off on a technically and literally go up and literally taunt and play in people's faces after the fact multiple times.  If had just gotten out of trail of the century I wouldn't have wanted anything that could attract attention to me.  I didn't even know that he did this shit on top of the other stuff he was known for doing which is just so fucking wild.

The craziest thing to me is when he got locked up for the memorbilia situation, it did seem like the dudes ripped him off. He was basically trying to sell shit on the low to get around the judgement against him from the civil case. So the dudes thought they just steal from him. Given how well publicized the OJ murder case was and how violently Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman were killed, you have to have some boulder sized balls to rip OJ off. They were surprised when OJ rolled up on them with the heat demanding his shit back? Did you see what he did to the mother of his kids!? That level of stupidity that should be in the Guiness Book of World Records. Nicole and Ron, I feel bad for. Those memorabilia dudes? Nah, you know what you dealing with and you still try to pull something. They are lucky OJ didn't kill them.

Friend and I used to call the Nintendo support line to prank call them but they ended up being really chill lol

I've never had any issue with Nintendo support. I remember when my Wii's GPU started going bad. I called Nintendo and even though it was out of warranty, they fixed it for free. They sent me the Fedex label, I shipped it off, I got it back in week. Only service nightmare I had was Sony with the PS2 and I wasn't the only one. 

@RSG3I see Norm MacDonald. I hit thumbs up. I had forgotten how much he used to shit on OJ.

@MillionXI wonder if you told AI that you wanted Thundercats in Space and Thundecats underwater would it spit out Silverhawks and Tigersharks? 🤔

Interesting thread from a VG modeler on the real person scan discourse

I suspect that some will likely read through it and at some point just stop and go "nuh uh" and that's fine but this is some insight into what it takes to get some scanned models into the game and then tweak accordingly.  The thread even goes into some of the changes made to real scan models as well.

My best friend has been 3D modeling for decades. This situation annoys him more than it does me. He thinks it's being done on purpose. Given his experience and expertise. I'm going to take the his word for it. I've known him for 33 years out of the 44 years I've lived on this Earth. So I'll trust him over some dude on Twitter/X. That aside, I'm thinking of things Quantic Dream did to 10 to 15 years ago. It didn't seem to be a problem for them.  So I'm to believe that more advanced hardware and more mature development tools makes this more difficult? And only for one gender? We got mysognistic development tools now?

Which is even more hilarious because...

As for Episode 5....

How they packed so much into one episode and still have it be exceptional is beyond me. Beau DeMayo can write his ass off. That man has serious talent. I'm glad he got season 2 in the can. They need to find some way to get him back unless he's done something criminal. I can't see anyone else coming in and doing this good of a job.
