In what possible way is the girl in the picture “ugly”? What the hell do these people want in their games? Supermodels? Porn stars?
What the hell do these people want in their games? Supermodels? Porn stars?
My guess would be they want both of those things. Related ice-cold take on the Horizon series:
It feels like ppl that post these takes have been watching too much hentai: giant tits that defy gravity, waists with no ribs, attracted to ugly bastards that just exist, etc.
Based on this image and a similar one I saw…it’s makeup. They want female characters to wear makeup. They either don’t know that makeup is what makes them, “hot,” or they realized that it’s stupid for a space outlaw or a robot-apocalypse survivalist to be wearing a full face of makeup, so they have to say they’re ugly. Either way, these people don’t fuck.
I love that the pic on the right looks uncomfortable. That’s a customer service smile, an “a man told me to smile and I don’t feel like fighting him right now” smile, a “the photographer is really creepy but this is my job” smile
And the one on the left is giving him the “why are you existing in my space” look.
The overall view of beauty in women is already heavily skewed in general.
I still remember when that cop got caught fucking half her coworkers and 90% of the comments about it were about how she was mid when she was actually quite pretty.

I felt similarly. I know people are meaner online than in person. And I have personally known several people who just have ridiculously high beauty standards.
I didn’t understand it. As a heterosexual man, most women look good to me.
I think it’s like Americans and sugar. So much of our food is sweetened that we have to add extra sugar to our desserts and we think things that have added sugar don’t. Like our bread is too damn sweet. In a society where women are expected to wear makeup, and where most women on tv are gorgeous to the point that beautiful women play “ugly” characters our balance is thrown off. Porn doesn’t help I’m sure, but when it comes to distorting beauty standards, it can’t compare to tv, movies, and influencers. When women groom only enough to be clean it’s treated as strange. It has well known harm for girls and young women and that aspect is spreading to boys and young men. But what we see here is a different form of harm, it’s the loss of taste for what is real and natural, and in the off chance these people find themselves waking up next to a woman they’re in for a bad time.
I mean I saw a picture with the actual model side by side the game character looks ugly af
Personally I think the character above is ugly because she looks like she’s (We’re told it’s a she; honestly looks like a 14 year old boy with 70’s hair) made out of candle wax.
If they’re going for a “realistic” style, they’re achieving GameCube era results. If they’re going with an “art style” look, they’re just outright bad at it, they’ve splashed down in the river at the bottom of the uncanny valley.
Me? I wouldn’t play this game simply because it’s got a gigacorporation-owned license. There is going to be no creativity, artistry, or vision behind it, it’s this year’s bucket of marketably familiar copyrighted stimuli designed to channel wealth from humans to shareholders. Honestly, would anyone be interested in this game if it didn’t have the branding and the sound effects library?
Meanwhile, Dark Souls players be like:
As a male gamer, I never would have played half-life if Gordon Freeman wasn’t so handsome.
Who cares about the face? It’s the 130$ price tag that’s really off-putting.
It is $70 for the standard edition, quit being disingenuous.
Collectors editions and the like have existed since the inception of video games.
70$ for a gimped version of the game. They deliberately took out content (season pass, 2 extra missions, etc.), make you wait an arbitrary amount of days longer to play and are not giving you the stuff that we used to get for free like art books.
Dont fall for their propaganda.
To be fair that does look bad, not on a character design level, but because it looks like this character was rendered by a Dreamcast
Which is usualy what pepole are really complaining about . But somehow instead of saying graphics look like shit pepole will complain that main character is ugly, probably beacuse they dont know any better. Its similar case with the little mermaid for example where first and foremost you will see that main character was black but when you watch a professional critic the first thing ypu will see is that the film is extremely dark. Sp dark that its hard to see shit and thats probably a bigger reason why pepole are complaining. Ultimately there is very little complains about race gender or whatewer the fuck is actually controversial at the moment when the movie is good.
As a person who has close relations with racism, this is lie and self-deceit.
I disagree. Alghtough it might be country specifc for me. But generaly pepole dont know shit and atrribute bad movies flaw to being ‘woke’ whereas truth is its quite often the writing or technical issue ( but lets not kid ourselfs. The reason they atrribute race as an issue is actualy because they are racist ).
