When the Fable characters were ugly you all seemed to care, but now you don't? Bit hypocritical don't you think??

You are quoting me because you think I'm hypocritical? Funny.

I rarely speak out about this shit because I personally don't give a fuck whether a video game is jerk-off material or not.

 

[calico]

Am I wrong ?

Yes.

 

[PeteBull]

Why would old bearded Kratos be with a 20s-something woman ?
And why would she look super young when she dies ?

Bearded guys can be 28yo, no1 said superyoung, just early 20s like in her prime.
Reasons for it are simple- sex sells and game's budget wasnt AA but likely few hundo milions of usd, which means dev studio and sony themselfs should want it to sell best possible it can, and it wont if we play as old hag

I will give u my pov as a longterm(from psx times so mid 90s) fanatic of sony games- they didnt convince me to buy ps5/pr0 with those games, i will play them but only in 2028 on my brand new ps6- used or bought at huge discount, physical copies too so i can resell them, so i will extract maximum value for minimal cost- sony's goal wasnt that, they wanted me to buy pr0 and buy both of the games at launch full price(like i did with hundreds of games on my playstation mashines durning previous gens obviously when i was younger and much poorer), so big fail here.

 

[Mr Reasonable]

Some of these threads are legitimately parody level at this point. And they're happening a lot...

People desperate to claim outrage and blame woke.

 

[mindfreak191]

Brother, you are comparing a professionally lit photograph of an actress wearing makeup who is in a location specifically to take pictures with an in-game action shot of a character that just fucking died.

I'm not interested in that game for a number of reasons, but the character model is not one of them. Frankly, if the character was somehow wearing makeup in the afterlife, I'd immediately think it was dumb.

The fuck we doing here guys

OP regularly posts screenshots of his games not loading textures correctly and tries to convince everyone that it's a problem with the game itself and not his system, even when proven wrong. What did you expect lmao?

 

[Clear]

Yes.

That's what I'd expect a wokist to say.

No counter-argument, just denial.

 

[Baemono]

Bearded guys can be 28yo

Yeah but not Kratos

 

[Sephimoth]

She should sue.

Mary Sue

 

[PeteBull]

Yeah but not Kratos

So what?, all the men find women 18-25 most attractive, no matter if they themselfs are 18 or 60yo, its still much better match with woman looking 21yo and guy looking 40yo vs otherwise aka what we had in spiderman2, peter looking early 20s and mj looking like 50yo grandma(literaly looked like martha kent from smallvile, aka unfuckable) ;D

 

[kat_on_the_roof]

I feel like im talking crazy pills.
Do you guys really believe that Kratos is a well designed character (visuals and personality)?

 

[calico]

Isn't she some mythical race anyway? Not sure we can apply normal aging rules to her or Kratos. She looks like webbed Frodo because they want her to, not because it wouldn't track for her to appear in her prime.

 

[Gonzito]

Sony hates women

There is a difference between between that and "oh my god why does the MC not look like a Asian model".

It's a game on nordic mythology with gods and monsters and you're like « nah, doesn't make sense. my man Kratos would only bang fresh pussy »

And fuck no, MJ certainly didn't look 50, be real here

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

The Greta Thunberg comparison is close.

Sony hates women

 

[RJMacready73]

she looks grounded and perfectly fine for this type of game and story they're trying to tell.. not every female has to look like the new Tomb Raider chick or Stellar Blade ffs

 

[Richard92]

She looks better than Kratos.

Another Bullshit…

 

[Pedro Motta]

This is the actress

This is the character model in game

Why do they make women look uglier? Is this on purpose?

"Its just a bad angle"

The bad angle:

Gollum sequel

C'mon man

 

[Dr.Morris79]

looks fine to me

 

[poodaddy]

Lol this is a pathetic post.

 

[anyasok]

Woke man thats why. They dont want to hurt the feelings of feminist lesbos. I mean look at the director... i wouldnt expect her to make anything that leaves her butthurt

 

[Gonzito]

"I dont have arguments so I am gonna post some silly gifs instead to try to shame OP, hahaha that will work" energy

 

[calico]

In the gameplay video her magic is on the fritz, so it could be she normally uses her magic to make herself look youthful and attractive for Kratos and now she has to go on this epic quest to fix it before they can reunite.

 

[spons]

Yeah I don't like the art style for this game either. She's the mother of a fucking God and you make her look like this

Optimism. I like that.

I wish I still had it.

 

[SJRB]

Yeah no man this is all totally normal and not agenda-driven whatsoever.

 

[RJMacready73]

C'mon man

jesus m8, step away from the computer.. youre posting screengrabs from a videogame and a picture of a child

Nah man, I just havent slept with a real woman. That's the explanation

Did you wake up from a coma?

They tried to sell a female head on a male body as a woman in tlou3.

Didn't they do the hot redhead to a face only her mother could love?

And the ugly female bossgirl in intergalactic?

And made that woman from horizon fat and ugly in the sequel.

Sony has been infested with wokeness like the rest.

The only one who hasn't is Nintendo.

 

[ElFenomeno]

Imagine having the latest tech and budget at your disposal, being limited only by your imagination and coming up with the most plain ordinary Jane Gray design.

 

[Londo]

I'm on another level: I despise the use of real people for modelling 3d character's faces. What if I don't like an actor and I'm forced to play as him/her/teapot?
I'll end up not buying the game, not a smart move for a company that needs money.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

I'm utterly at a loss of why you would hire Deborah in the first place, and butcher her face?

Is this a weird humiliation ritual or some shite?

What is even going on in these companies?

 

[uncreativename]

What got me was the dialogue. It just sounds straight out of a Marvel movie. Why bother spending millions and millions of dollars on all this art that's supposed to evoke Norse mythology if you're not going to try to make the writing even a little bit immersive.

 

[MarV0]

Where is the Laufey just another woke slop thread?

 

[RoboFu]

Sony is obviously too far gone and full of the type of people who push for that type of thing. We have to accept that truth and move on.

 

[saintjules]

I always find these threads cringe.

Do you prefer to have a game feel great gameplay wise with a decent story, controls solid, or do you want to have something to jack off to otherwise it's an immediate sale, never touch, buy or rent?

 

[pacman4000]

No clue man, and I can't take anyone serious that can say that bottom character looks anything like the actual model.. It's not even close.

Looks very similar.
More like, how does makeup and studio-lightning work?

 

[Kuranghi]

Agreed, but also I couldn't hear 70% of it because it was unintelligible, need to rewatch today with the sound turned up, so much mumbling

We need more posts like this, this made me laugh because it was funny instead of being embarrassing or depressing

 

[delishcaek]

She was designed with DLSS5 in mind.

Sony showed neither of those things though.

 

[Jam Dingo]

The actress is 41 years old, and presumably that's roughly the age of the character too.

She looks like a good looking early middle-aged woman with no make-up. There's zero fucking story here you idiots.

 

[sigmaZ]

Because "modern audiences" wouldn't be able to handle the realism.

 

[CentralScrutinizer]

Brother, you are comparing a professionally lit photograph of an actress wearing makeup who is in a location specifically to take pictures with an in-game action shot of a character that just fucking died.

I forgot video games weren't professionally lit hand crafted "photographs".

The thing is they had to intentionally make the model uglier.

A beautiful person is beautiful in any lighting, much like this actress. This game character is purposely made to be less attractive.

 

[Sintoid]

Perfect sexy make up to go into Ragnarock, a Tik Tok content by Neogaf

 

[sncvsrtoip]

With exception of some photoshoped photos or some maxed up look for events she looks very similar so stop the cap. I watched all Daredevil seasons and she was always like normal girl.

 

[Sintoid]

Not to mention that motion capture on this game seems to be something incredible, i jumped on the chair when she woke up
