Why do western devs make female characters uglier in their games?

This woman looks ugly to you?

I'm just confused. So you DO like BBLs so you up her score to a full 8? That's it!? I think we have lost the plot gentlemen. If Lucia is at the max an 8, then there's no satisfying you all. To me she's at minimum a 9.
Lets see her final looks after game launches, we can do all kinds of research then :messenger_ok:

I don't know, she kinda got that young Micheal Jackson thing going on here, but to each his own

She's literally dead. Wakes up and calls for Kratos and her son Atreus.

Everyone here complains about Resetera, but some of yall are just as bad on the oppsite side of it.

when the game scores well the same incels here will cry woke publications.
 
You can try to replicate realism in Last of Us not in a fucking God of War with magic and mythical beasts.

Yes you can. And they did. Kratos and Atreus look pretty normal. Thor was a fat ugly fuck but since he was a dude people didn't care as much. Odin as well was just some geezer. They been doing this.

Hey ChatGPT! Answer a question for me!

  • "Mainstream gaming media is generally left-leaning" → supported by more observable evidence.
  • "Mainstream gaming media is generally right-leaning" → not supported by most available evidence.
The biggest disagreement today is usually not over whether a leftward tilt exists. The disagreement is over how strong that tilt is. Critics often argue it is pervasive and significantly affects coverage, while defenders argue it is relatively modest and mostly confined to opinion pieces and coverage of social issues rather than game reviews and news reporting.

Thor and Odin were able to kill Giants like Thamur:

Nothing realistic about that, there is also a man changing into a boar:

Elfs?

But make up is a no go? Freya had it:

I mean, take a look at @MatrixReloaded101 follow up reply...

These people barge into a thread, drop their obligatory "fuck you, you racists" post, and call it a day.

They're not interested in discussion, debate, or understanding anyone else's perspective. The only thing they're looking for is validation and the smug satisfaction of convincing themselves they're morally superior to the "filthy incel masses" they've caricatured in their heads.

Their only retort is "you're wrong"
Notice how they still do this even with literal photo evidence being dumped in their faces. I already predicted the comments from the hiding wokesters in my first or second post on this topic. They're like those Elmo dolls that has 3 or 4 phrases they just keep repeating.

Doubt its on purpose, i believe this is simply the best devs can do.

Youre comparing photos that capture majority of real world details against low resolution 3d models that have to be rendered 60 times per second on top of running a game with low resolution assets and most of all primitive lighting compared to the sun.

It would take multiple seconds to render a single frame that matches real photos on even rdna4, cmon papito.
Its on purpose. Woke developer's hate the thought of the male gaze.
 

That's all I'm seeing here. People are pretending to miss that post while posting how accurate the models are in a Kojima game. Meanwhile so are Santa Monica's unless you ignore that post.


As a gamer herself wanting to see the reaction of gamers I bet this uproar is doing work on Debra's self esteem. Then we wonder why actresses get all kinds of surgeries as they age.

As a bodybuilder I sometimes think I'm superficial but neogaf takes the cake. The game looks amazing. Too bad no eye boners means it will sell less.

When the game scores over 95 and everyones enjoying themselves, youll still cry DEI and she doesn't have enough makeup. Their so woke! And you'll return to your echochamber where everyone agrees with you.

You're the minority brah.

More disingenuous rhetoric from room temp intellectuals.

You know what........my man has a great point here. I'd be curious if GAF wants to take him up on his brilliant point.
 
This really just seems like a highly accurate 3d model that is looking weird with highly unrealistic GI lighting/ skin refactoring. Always gives the skin more elderly appearance.
 
This argument makes zero sense and it's definitely not a generalized thing. If you want a clear counterexample, look at Ellie from The Last of Us. Back when the first game dropped, everyone was talking about how she was heavily inspired by Ellen Page. By the time The Last of Us Part II came out, Sony delivered an incredible design for her adult model that looked fantastic and, honestly, much more attractive.

Why do we have gamer amnesia on here all the damned time?

People were poking fun and side eyeing fat Thor the moment he was revealed. Even disappointed that he was emasculated as a pathetic alcoholic with daddy issues.

The reason females get more traction, is due to one ideology making WOMEN THEIR BATTLEGROUND in the great culture war.

For centuries wars were faught over women, protecting or pillaging. They're the mothers, the givers of life.

She was not based on human actor, but she was inspired by young Ellen Page for sure. ND was not constrained in any way with changes.
