Re: The Uglification of Female Characters in Western Developed Video Games
I guess what's really frustrating is that it seems to be a vocal minority that's pushing these awkward changes, as they clearly don't result in more sales (usually the opposite) and when something like Stellar Blade comes along that bucks the trend, the sales for it (early reports say it's already ...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 327: 4/6/24: Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom Edition
Dragon's Dogma 2 is a quirky game that took a little while to click with me (and Tam), but once it did it hit hard. It's a LOT of fun, a great exploration RPG. Really scratches that Elder Scrolls itch of wandering around & exploring. Did you play the first Dragon’s Dogma, it’s one of my favorit...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 326: 3/30/24: Freedom Planet 2 Edition
Sounds like we're all having fun. (even phase? :P) Not really. I stopped playing Outriders because it’s too easy on the story setting, and it’s one of the most repetitive games that I’ve played. It doesn’t present any challenge on the story setting, but it’s a little too challenging on the easy set...

Re: The Uglification of Female Characters in Western Developed Video Games
Personally, I don't care much about all the conversation on the periphery of gaming. "Woke" / "Anti-woke" - none of it matters to me. In both gaming and in my personal life in general, I tend to focus on what brings me joy and ignore the rest as much as possible. So much drama t...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 325: 3/23/24: Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist/Grandia HD Collection/South Park: Snow Day
I took a break from playing Outriders and started playing a cute top down view pixel art action RPG golf hybrid game called RPGolf Legends. Despite what I said earlier about not really liking pixel art games these days, I still kind of do especially for RPGs. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cdpVlroMG...

The Uglification of Female Characters in Western Developed Video Games
As someone who likes playing as female characters in video games I’ve been noticing an ongoing trend in western developed games over the years where they purposely uglify them. The devs reasoning behind this is to not make them objectified/sexualized, and to make them more realistic looking. Making ...

No offense, but that doesn't sound like a recent issue. :P You're kind of known for falling off games very quickly. Yeah I know, but it’s gotten worse lately. That sounds miserable to me phase. Maybe it is to you too. I look forward to playing every game I start, and I only put it down if it's sub-...
