It's my right to have creative freedom. Attractive game girls being tabooicized hurts that freedom.
It's all about balance. A lot of games could do with less sexual designs. But i.e. Lara Croft should never have been changed to what she's now. Giant boobs were part of her persona and I feel her change both robbed us of a sexy game girl *and* it tells real big-boobed women "hey, your body is shameful!"
World changed , so characters changed to fit all that sadly. And it goes just worse for now.
New TR movie was ok. I thought new TR games lara was busty enough
He said gamesWhat bust?

You cant deny your heart, age is just a number
Thats a fine line you walk.
I think we'll continue to see plain and unattractive female characters in games indefinitely, because thats how long I can see non-straight males playing games for.
I can only hope we get a bunch of games that put sexy girls in their games, and that the devs openly admit to targeting straight male demographics. Dont apologize to SJW's or bullshit the public about choices regarding character design. There is money to be made and fun to be had with sexy female video game characters. Just admit it, devs.

This thread needs some shemuscle
look, if it's an adult game that's based in a fantasy/comical world sure you can have sexualized characters, that's escapism and fun!
But not too long ago humans have only been represented by a few pixels on screen, but we have now reached a graphical threshold, where games bascially equal movies / reality and it's ridiculous to have every element (objects, physics) in a game world become more and more realistic in it's representation, but somehow women should stay big breasted fantasy creations in those worlds.
It's not different than going to the movies and then complaining that the main actresses boobs where too small.
And all those calling Alloy and co ugly and a disgrace are obviously small dicked fucks who probably themselves don't resemble what would, adherent to stereotypes, be considered a strong male and have never been in an actual emotional relationship with a woman. Because who would write such bullshit if you live in the real world.
Tell yourself that.I'm confident enough in my masculinity that I'm not bothered by women being portrayed in a variety of ways.
Of course, because there is no difference at all between females and males, bigot.Females in games ACT too much like males. That is the problem.
All downhill from giving them the voteFemales in games ACT too much like males. That is the problem.

I had a solid crack at this one with Vaseline Intensive Care, a box of wet wipes and an anal bead. I failed miserably. Fuck you Neil.
I just showed this pic to my gf and she goes "that's a dude".
It reminds me of old terminator boy actor.
A bizarre face, indeed. Not feminine at all.
Tell yourself that.
I don't think the issue is that many kind of women are represented, the issue that while doing so they erase and vilify what was there before (in some circles you can't show a thin women without being called a fat-phobe, you can't have a real women without being called trans-phobe, so on and so forth). This is not a purely positive movement, and it has nothing to do with your masculinity, and how you feel about it.
She looks fine to me. People are acting she is monstrous creature when she is just a buff woman. Her face actually looks attractive.
Wasn't Adele all over the news just a short while ago? With feminists going nuts because her posting pictures of herself is equal to body shaming fat women?!Skinny women = fat-phobe?

The funniest part about this is that her arms are entirely smooth and eyebrows plucked like they'd be doing that shit in the post-apocalyptic future.
Why do some of you insist on making silly generalizations and blanket statements? It's the most obnoxious shit ever.
What does "resembling female" even mean? You provide zero examples to support your very subjective statement.
There are literally thousands of developers making games these days.
okay yeah I so and and this this is this is a subject this is subject matter that as controversial and so I want to make sure I say this the right way but I want to be honest in the front about it I before I work this job I worked with the women of WWE they used to say to me all the time that like while they wanted to be equal on equal footing as men we shouldn't write them like men because they're still women and so one of that really like stuck with me.
so when I went to respawn I was looking at the roster and I think that respawn today just an outstanding spectacular job with the women when the game washed I think they are they are layered they are nuanced they are three-dimensional characters that aren't there you know just eye candy there yeah like if anything but I did notice that there was just a eraser of sexuality and I thought that's that's almost as sexist as doing all sexuality and so I really wanted to introduce a female character who kind of owned her sexuality and kind of own who she is and and would like to you know look good in the when she gets wait yeah which makes of them wearing in and make her a three-dimensional layered character who wasn't there as eye candy
and I remember talking to the women in the office and being like I really want to pitch this character but I'm afraid you know how it's gonna look and they were very supportive when we talked about her personality and you know how we wanted to make her somebody who is aspirational and somebody who you know you kind of like you wanna fulfill a fantasy that's a weird way to phrase that but like yeah yeah somebody like women would want to be and women would kind of own this character and so I was we were heavily involved with with with all the women in the office trying to make this as realistic and and not the typical female video game character if you will and so we worked on that and kind of got her look down and we had pretty much come up with the backstory.
These are the kinds of dudes who think models wake up beautiful 24/7, and women athletes with no makeup, tied hair, and sports bras are incapable of taking all of those off and being sexy.
i.e. the kinds of dudes whos beauty standards are determined by instagram thirst traps / airbrushing / filters

We got a forecast for when this is going to blow over?
Playing through mid-2000 era games just reminds me how much female characters design has devolved.
Females in games ACT too much like males. That is the problem.
Its just that its not from western developers. Thank the gods for Japan.
Come on this seems a bit hyperbolic
We just got FF7 Remake some weeks ago
Show us Aerith before she lost her manly look. Still got a tad man-face in there IMO.
We still have game this era and beyond that will have great looking female characters.

She has the face of a teenage boy and the chest of one too.
Could use a boob-job but otherwise is nice to look at.
She has the face of a teenage boy and the chest of one too.
I think she looks cute/nice in the game
If she looks too "manly" for you I guess we just have different standards.
