Number 1.)

Mary Jane Hasn't Had A Good Player Model
In Any Spider-Man Game

Number 2.)

Peter Parker Hasn't Had A Good
Player Model In Any Spider-Man Game

Number 3.)

There Are Only Tiny Bits Of Pictures From Original
Tobey Maguire Spider-Man Games That Peter Looks
Better Then Spider-Man 2 PlayStation 5...

But For The Most Part...

What is really painful to see is that Final Fantasy XIII -3
has Character Designs that are like 1,000 times better
looking then Spider-Man 2 which is like supposed to be
like way higher quality, due to the better hardware inside,
but it turns out PS5 Spider-Man 2 Faces just all look like
mud clay, & are horribly handled...


Tomb Raider?? I don't understand the need to even
have a ReMake of the Original Tomb Raider Game at all...

A. Tomb Raider Anniversary PS2 Is A ReMake Of Original
& It's Got Fully 3D Character Models With Full Facial Modeling

B. Tomb Raider Trillogy HD PS3 Brought in further HD Texutures
to the Original 3 Tomb Raider Games With Improved Character Models

C. Tomb Raider 2013 Brought In A Life Like Lara Croft Character

D. The New Tomb Raider ReMake Does Not Offer Original Fans
Anything That Isn't Already Done In The Past 3 ReMakes Of The Game,
& Does Actually A Much More Poorer Job At It, Too...




Point To This Is??

Compare MK Original With MK Deception With New Mortal Kombat 1

Compare Costume, Faces, & Hair, & You'll
See New Mortal Kombat 1 Is Actually Worst
Looking On Characters...

godammit they are just characters

Well, after seeing this video I'm going to have to back peddle a little on what I said last time I commented on Mary Jane. You should not make a teeny bopper looking girl who looks like she could possibly be highschool aged and then make her look like she's possibly a mother in her fourties in a direct sequel that is set a mere four months afterwards. There's just no warranting that.

I mean, Chun Li looks older in Street Fighter VI than she did in prior games (at least in my opinion), but I'm not seeing too many complaints about that, perhaps in large part because it's supposed to be closer to the end of the Street Fighter timeline anyway and everybody's kind of aged up to match.

so are they bleaching their panties when it comes to sakura thirst or legalizing it by aging her?

I'm not sure what portion you mean. I'm not hip with the terminology and I meant to be writing about two separate characters. I'm not sure what's up with Mary Jane, so the only explanation I have for now is what the others are suggesting.

If you meant to ask about Chun Li, since I didn't make my intentions clear originally, she was always meant to be an adult so I see no need to censor it. She's about 23 in Street Fighter: II The World Warrior based on the set birth date and release date of the game. (1968[tcrf.net]-1991=23) and I don't think any of the alpha games take place long enough before that to change her status as an adult. Even if we assume that Street Fighter Alpha takes place in 1988, which is the earliest it could be set (since Street Fighter presumably takes place in 1987 when it was released, and Alpha happens afterwards) that's only five years prior so she would be 18 at that time.

It doesn't really make sense to censor her age, since Alpha is the earliest point in the timeline in which we see her, unless Alpha takes place before march 1st (which is Chun Li's birthday). However, that's unlikely since 75% of the year takes place after March, the weather seems fair (rather than snowy), the month of the game's release is june (if that is of any importance), and if it takes place exactly 1 year after Street Fighter (which is about the amount of time it makes sense to host another tournament) it'd likely be in august (which is the month in which the original Street Fighter was released).

Regardless, assuming that Chun Li's birth date hasn't been retconned, and Street Fighter 6 takes place in 2023, then she should be about 55, so she should look 32 years older and Capcom is just doing what makes the most sense for the timeline in that regard, esp. since other characters look older too (Dhalism has a big white Santa beard now). One might argue it's a little weird since Chun Li's aging never seemed particularly apparent before, but then again 32 years is a much larger time-skip than any of the prior installments. If anything, one might argue that Chun Li's most recent design looks too young to be 55, but then again, it's not quite a given that VI takes place in 2023 either (just an assumption).

have you like
seen a woman before?

No, I've only had one relationship with a woman for over 2 years. Woke-ism is not liberalism. Making a fictional woman in a game to fit a certain agenda is not always what the artist intended.

ok
either you found someone who's really attractive at all times, you never got any deep into the relationship, or you're just straight up lying

because, no, what you call "making women ugly" is just devs knowing that women don't look like advertisements or porn characters

The women in video games are just game characters. Why do people actually care if they're too pretty now? It sounds like a woman insecurity problem.

I wouldn't be complaining if woke people hadn't complained first. IGN had to create a controversy because the Stellar Blade girl looks too sexy. There's nothing wrong with a fit woman that takes care of her body.

[Катюша]

Honestly couldn't tell you why they are making women more and more ugly in Western games, and to a lesser extent games from Asia.

Perhaps more and more uglier women are in power in these companies these days and as such want to see themselves represented more. Perhaps they are afraid of competition from fictional characters.

Either way, it is a definite trend.

When gaming becomes more about a political developers irrelevant personal beliefs and politics than good game play, interesting design, or the escapist nature video games have always been.

I've never actually met anyone upset because characters in video games don't look exactly like they do... Does anybody even care about this? Black people play white characters, white people play black ones, nobody outside of political activists who eat, sleep, and breathe toxic political activism seem to care.

Even characters where you can make someone look like anything you want I've never actually seen them create a character that looks like themselves. Heck, half the guys out there choose female characters because they don't want to look at a dude's ass and listen to him grunt for 20 hours.

The tides are turning.

Sony are showcasing Stellar Blade as one of their major exclusives, perhaps they're finally learning that consumers aren't interested in their toxic political activism and extreme bias.
