Come on guys. Horizon is here to teach us an important lesson.
True beauty isn’t about how you look on the outside.
True beauty is about your sexual orientation and defying stereotypes.

Horizon has fantastic tech and visuals on top of shit design philosophy. It has nothing at all to do with sexuality it's just bad design.

May I interest you in some tribal clothing designed by white cis-gender male?

The entire idea of people reverting back to tribal looking clothes in the Horizon games always bothered me. Why on earth would people go back to that

ALVA IS THE WORST CHARACTER EVER IN VIDEO GAMES HISTORY.I would not say nightmare , but they are certainly not beautiful. They should rehire the guy who did the designs in part 1.
I couldn't take them seriously at all in those costumes. They just look silly.
The right costume. What is that supposed to be? The left one is from part 1.
SHUT UP BITCH NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOU AND YOUR DUMB FUCKING TRIBE
This was my Aloy. There can be some amazing costumes if you go wild. 3rd pic is gameplay too. The game is insane looking

I laughed out loud with this, so true!
I love the fact that some people here act like there isn't an agenda. Western societies (the US especially) are witnessing a social wave which is hell-bent on celebrating ugliness. We literally have articles, actors, websites telling us how beautiful obese women are, and how much the male gaze needs to be punished and mocked. Did you people even watch the last couple of episodes of the Mandalorian? Did you keep a straight face?
And you SERIOUSLY, unironically, think that Alloy doesn't look ugly on purpose?
I am not saying that every single female character should look and dress like a pornstar, but let's not pretend that this isn't the result of the pendulum having swung on the far other side in the last six years.
Remember the 90s? Where every woman in comics and video games was dressed like a slut? That was the other side of the pendulum. We're now on the opposite end, and we have to withstand this for about five more years until we swing to that sweet middle ground of the early 00s.

This always the excuse but even games thats not set in "Apocalypse" we still get ugly looking character models.
You know why people started complaining about western characters designs? Because it feels like western developers are completely against having good looking character in any of their games.
That not even my problem, if western devs dont like to making good looking character designs then thats their choice. My big problem with all of this is when people like Druckmann or some western journalist come to shit on Japanese developers because they like to make good looking character designs.

Most western entertainment has degenerated into propaganda by now. All art has to be in support of some ideology, and the way you judge if art is good is by whether it supports the correct ideology.This always the excuse but even games thats not set in "Apocalypse" we still get ugly looking character models.

It’s so boring and predictable. You can practically guess how a character will be developed just based on their gender/race/sexual orientation.
And of course the worst thing anybody can possibly do is try to make themselves attractive to the opposite sex. God forbid.

Have you watched this? Studio Trigger literally had to fight with CPR in order keep their characters good looking, because according to CPR characters like Rebbeca and Lucy doesn't fit in Cyberpunk world....Are you fucking kidding me!? This the only setting that is all about having any type of body you want. For whatever reason western devs actively hate good looking characters.

100% agree with you. This have nothing to do with being 'ugly' or not. The fact is, devs are wasting a huge amount of money to buy those hardware than scan facial and corporal body of women, just for in the end to modify their face/body for making them 'less sexual'.
Just look at the picture you posted prove most of this. The actress behind the game Control is very pretty and maybe not had the best curves of all lady, she still have curves like many women in real world have. And if you compare her physical body vs the body they made for her inside the game is almost hilarious.
Don't matter what fanboys try to spin, they indeed desexualize even the most inoffensive lady body inside modern video games. Is pretty embarrassing.

Man that’s pretty crazy. I was just thinking that Cyberpunk was one of the few recent western games where it felt like they just made the characters they wanted to make, without trying to get a stamp of approval from the woke PC crowd.
And it totally makes sense for Cyberpunk, where everything is hyper sexualized and any extreme sexual experience/fetish you can think of can just be purchased like some cheap, meaningless commodity.

And people tell me why I'm not excited about high tech graphics, because when it comes to western games it can only go one way, games looking more realistic and characters looking even more ugly, what part of that I should be excited about?

I not even against graphical powerhouse games. Is just like people act like if there are photorealistic graphics the game is a 10/10. Graphics are just part of the equation. I remember while Horizon Zero Dawn release people like me are all over the graphics, the face, the tree... but by the time I progress inside the game get boring pretty quickly. There was no replayability, gameplay was what a huge loop, without flexibility between builds, armor set are useless and most of the time you use one type of arrow because the others are pretty shit. I end up giving the game a 7.5/10.
HZD is not a bad game mind you, but after PS4 exclusives like Horizon Zero Dawn and God of War I started to praise more art direction than graphics.

Wasn't it more about the fact that she was a loli?

But they also had issue with Lucy being too pretty that’s why they hard time designing her. Also it’s Cyberpunk you can have any type of body you want. In Ghost in Shell there is a character that literally nothing more than small robotic box….
That entire point of Cyberpunk setting.

That would make it the worst possible approach. I mean, if some western developers want to make women ugly on purpose, fine, go ahead, it's your game. But why force another team to change what they're doing just to fit their work into your agenda? It's tasteless.

This is why I’m soooo glad Studio Trigger didn’t back down and in the end both Rebecca and Lucy became most popular characters in the show.
People enjoy good looking characters designs….SHOCKER!!!

If anybody considers Aloy's costume to be "nightmare fuel," you must have some tame, boring dreams.

She actually doesnt look that bad in that screenshot. I am using a different costume but my goodness, they must have made her fatter in this DLC because her head looks absolutely huge in this game. She looks great in the main game. I am not exactly sure whats happening here.
It might be her large head/forehead exacerbated by her fluffy hairdo because she looks fine with head gear on.

There's plenty of really cool armor sets in both FW and ZD.
This is one of them and I will argue that it is one of the best in the series so far (not a fan of head piece, but whatever):
Horizon's armory was amazing, they use so much time to create such high quality and details of something look so mediocre .
I dont like them ,but they're not "nightmare fuel" , nor ugly , but at the same time I dont want my character to wear them either.
But hey , I've seen worse so cant complain.

The crazy thing is in what world does Horizon make less money if they make Alloy as pretty as the actress? Not this one, they could have had a character like Lara Croft in her heyday. Doesn't need an egirl slut outfit, just a pretty face.

Jesus, that first screenshot is impressive, haven't played the game, but I'm guessing it's a cutscene no? Even so, looks so good, especially those hands, what res is this at?ALVA IS THE WORST CHARACTER EVER IN VIDEO GAMES HISTORY.

I dunno about you guys but I think she looks fucking awesome in this outfit. Still my favorite outfit in the game and the one I play as 99% of the time in Burning Shores.

Well like it or not Ashley Burch looks like that, the actress. The game otherwise is full of attracting men and women among NPCs so it doesn’t make much sense thinking they made the protagonist less attractive but kept all the other hotties around.
