And to weirdos who are into that bunny/fox furry crap.

I thought TERA had that covered?

Is Nintendo dying?!

[ManifestedISO]

Not with $14B in cash. But they definitely need a stimulus.

You might want to skip WIldstar no matter the breast size, unless you think vanlilla WoW was the bestest thing ever. The game is really clearly aimed at old WoW players.

The exploration path looked fun. But I'm not prepared to play a sub based MMO anymore anyway. I then feel that I have to play a lot to get my money's worth. I prefer buy to play and then paying for neat goodies.

(though the way GW2 fills up your bags with crap is not fun)

Having a competition is always good!

This is bull****. I'm canceling my order.

As far as I know, you can't pre-order it yet.

 

Guess he'll have to wait for it to be pre-orderable, pre-order it, and then cancel the pre-order.

 

I'll do it then post a screenshot of that ****. Sounds epic.

If that thing ever gets done, and if they don't employ any ridiculous online schemes along with the inevitable Steam, I might just invest on it without waiting for sales. From what little I tried it on my friends Xbox, it was a standard fare GTA game but felt much more fun and engaging than 4. Still of the opinion that it's grossly overrated despite the fun factor, though.

That's like demanding to reduce the amount of muscle on the guys in Gears of War. Muh feelings are otherwise very hurt *sniffle*

[alanschu]

You're starting to see stuff like that too, actually.

[Malcador]

Well if it's them wanting GoW/fighter types to be less muscular, that's silly.

I'm going on a crusade to make sure all male video game characters have more realistic physiques.  That is, pot bellies and can't run for more than 50 feet without huffing and puffing.

 

I mean, apparently big breasted female video game characters give a bad message to girls.  So the same should really apply to the risk of boys feeling bad about their bodies because they don't look like those muscle-bound hunks in their video games.

[Undecaf]

Videogames should stop presenting human beings altogether, and replace them with sexless and formless puddles of grey goo that communicate with sign language and refer to each other as "that one" and "this one". Everybody's equally grey, and nobody's represented in ill light (or any light for that matter). That way nobody needs to hurt their feelings and no example of any kind, straightforward or implied, is given to the fragile youth (and apparently some adults too) of our time.

I know you are being facetious but the analogy isn't quite the same. If you want to understand why they want to reduce the inordinately large sizes of womens breasts in some games a similar example would be male characters who have massive and bulges where there p***s are. It would look silly and isn't unrealistic. I also believe most guys would have an issue with it, this is about the objectification of women and there physiques.

 

I don't think its unreasonable or is going to dilute your gaming experience in anyway?

Thank goodness there's always the good ol' Saints Row Sex Appeal slider which lets you make some big uns.  Then the community modders always put out a mod that changes the limits on those sliders allowing you to make even more hilarious proportions.

No, that's exactly the feminist fallacy. That portraying women with an idealized physique somehow cheapens them, and yet is a completely different thing when it comes to males. In fact, the real fallacy of common feminism is trying to replace one set of double standards with another instead of trying to do away with them.

[Meshugger]

Exactly.

[Bester]

If you want to make chicks look less like "objects", for once instead of reducing their boobs try making me care for them. That is if you can, being a noname studio that you are. By reducing boobs, you're admitting you can't make me care. So the only thing you've achieved is convincing everyone you're talentless and feminist. I hope your company goes bankrupt after this product so you can't pull anything like this again.

 

This just shows how sick the game industry is. 99% chicks either made their boobs bigger or are planning on it. But the game dev world only REDUCES their boobs. This is how out of touch you are with the real world, idiots from WildStar.

Really, I use to play the MMO Mortal Online. In that game you could have a character that was naked. There was huge complaints from members about the "unacceptable nudity around male avatars " in the game, but I don't remember anyone complaining about females that were naked. I don't see this as a fallacy, many men are fine with disproportionate size female body parts but perish the thought if this applies to men.

 

I have personal experience with this perspective.

[Nepenthe]

I'd like to thank Brucie for providing this discussion with a textbook strawman argument.

[Bester]

WildStar is making it disproportionate by making it ridiculously small. Have you even seen real boobs, Bruce?

Maybe I'm not explaining properly,  I'll try to keep it simple. Are you saying that a representation of a male character in a game can't be demeaning to men? If you think it can be then you should respect the fact that many female gamers find these ridiculous breast sizes as objectifying to them and possibly offensive?

No I haven't, what do they look like Bester?
