“Argument” I’ve been seeing?? “Well how many supermodels do you see walking around?” It’s this simple. We don’t play video games for “average”. If you want average, go outside.
Excuse me game devs, I’m an attractive lady that enjoys playing attractive ladies in games. Just as I enjoy playing attractive men in games. Its part of the fantasy
It’s like, have these devs seen how long people of both genders will spend on a character creation screen getting their character just so? I know I can spend a while on characters of either gender just tweaking features and color pallets. There’s even tutorial videos by female players devoted to tips for improving your character’s look!
That's like me, a guy that always makes his avatars, both female and male really good looking. I do not need a chubby, balding guy like me to be represented in a game.
The chick they scanned for this main character was a solid hot 8 and then they turned her in to a 4. The pricing model for this game is robbery. Angelina Jolie did it..
I find it hilarious that people keep saying hourglass figures are just UnREaLiStic, yet, i have a very prominent hourglass figure, and i see myself way more in lara croft than i EVER would as TLOU2 Abby. No matter how much i go to the gym and take protein. Im a very active person, i do acrobatics like trapeze, so my arms are muscular, *but i will never have abby-like muscles*. Talk about what’s truly unrealistic for women lol
Exactly, a woman with arms like Abby is extremely rare unless they take steroids. And it would be hard to believe that steroids would be still available in that world. Women become lean/toned when they workout, not "jacked," as you obviously know. Plus, most men wouldn't want someone like an Abby.
If I was a model and a gaming company purposely made my likeness look ugly to appease an agenda, I would sue the hell out of them. It can't be good for your image for a gaming company to say they copied your likeness only for the model to look way uglier and nothing like you.
Mortal Kombat is the perfect example. Mortal Kombat 9 characters look absolutely amazing and 10x better than MK1 and that's a difference of about just 10 years. Just look at Jade and Sindel, they straight up look from another game franchise compared to now. 2000s was an explosion of great art, the women in Unreal Tournament and most other action/shooter games looked absolutely georgeous whilst the men were buff as hell. The developers really drank the Anita Sarkeesian coolaid about the male gaze. I hope we have more diversity of characters rather than plain Joes and Janes going forward and we don't have to rely on Japan to give us what we want.
When the Palworld devs joked about how Americans like making ugly characters, I thought it was just a joke, but after seeing this, no they were 100% correct Americans love making ugly characters.
As that IGN france writer said 'we cannot make pretty women in video games because then real women won't be able to measure up to them and so will just off themselves in shame'
What I do NOT understand is why people require a TV or game character be someone they can look up to or have as a role model. You're supposed to role model yourself out of REAL PEOPLE like your parents or teachers or whatever. Not a character on TV.

@@animezilla4486 that argument would hold weight if we had a good enough sample size of cases where it actually panned out but in most cases the ugly character also has an abysmal story.

*Why does she have a 1970s 35-year-old's haircut?!" I literally just saw that hair in a 70s movie about a crazy woman that chases Clint Eastwood around.
Tomb raiding is "bad", but it's still okay to feature grand theft, assassinations, and endless violent battles in video games? Come on. This stuff is fantasy. It's fun to collect treasure and beat up and kill bad guys. It's not fun to be lectured on moral issues. What does Lara do now? Go to auctions? Sit at home, covered in the ashes of repentance? Start an UglyFans website? A tomb raider who can no longer raid tombs is a... ???
It's funny how they really think they discovered raiding archaeological artifacts is bad. It was exactly as bad in 1996. But it was a game, and people got along because it was not real life and it was funny. It's like playing "assassin" in Diablo II. "I'm sorry, but we realized that assassination is bad, so this character is turned into a marriage counselor for this game, to make amend for her past misdeed".
TBF, if not for people like Indiana Jones, and the British museum, most of the artifacts we can study would not exist. They would've been destroyed with the other artifacts in purges when the CCP took over, or by Muslims etc. Western 'tomb robbers' are the only reason the world has historical artifacts, and the only reason the people complaining even know something is missing.
As a female who is 202 lbs and a gamer this is so dumb I hate it they are basically saying if you look like the new characters your ugly and this is supposed to make you feel better? And if you like older characters your a bad person? This is why I go for games with character creation let me be a hot chick with full blown makeup and hair in a bad ass dress with swords!
Yes, yes they are, even when they hire attractive actresses to mocap them, they still beat their in game avatar with an ugly stick to make her fit for twitter consumption.
There is no way it's a system limitation when there are near photorealistic models out there done by artists with a keen eye, years of experience, and newly devised AI systems. These frompy character models are what I - an amateur - would slap together in Blender for a game about mutant sapient potatoes masquerading as human to take over the world.
The problem is when you start breaking it down, first of all you look at the model versus the character. Then you look at other male characters like the one from Jedi survivor who is basically a one for one with his in-game character. Then you look over at Japan who very consistently perfectly replicates the actors with the in-game likenesses. You can tell exactly where the problem lies, it's entirely with Western developers and it's entirely with female characters and only female characters. Someone within one of these big companies anonymously wrote a whole thing about how they've been forced to make female characters and only female characters flat and more androgynous and manish for lack of a better word. I am not surprised considering things that have come out from nether realms and WB and I mean look at those characters from the last Mortal Kombat, Nuff said.
Why have real people getting face scan if they don't even look like the model that they are getting face scan? Just cut the model and save the money for something else.
It is funny it seems to only affect Western developed games too, isn't that a coincidence. I mean it's not like the West has some kind of weird agenda about making women look more flat/androgynous right?! (sarcasm)
@@The_Last_Data_Hound Some people has argued that wokism is a comeback of ancient Gnosticism according to which this world is a creation of the evil one.
This dates all the way back to Mass Effect Andromeda. The FeMC was based off a beautiful lady, but her in game model was busted af. The dude character looked like a 1:1 replica of his actor, so it’s 100% intentional.
Dont let them lie to you. We can see how scanning real people can still lead to good looking characters. See Steller Blade. These western developers are trying to gaslight us
@@ComposedSage75 Tokyo Mirage Sessions would like a word with you. The remaster of that game was based on the censored abomination we got in the states.
I agree with what TH-camr Melonie Mac calls all this: "catering to the trans gaze." It isn't the case that these female video game characters are simply being made average-looking .They're being made to look like trans-women, with their pronounced jaw lines, broad foreheads. angular facial features, etc. This is almost assuredly the DEI crowd's latest salvo in the war to normalize trans ideology to all those toxic male gamers who they believe need to be taught that this is what a "real woman" can look like.
What’s the point of hiring good looking women if they are just going to make them ugly? And why are all the guy characters not getting this treatment? INEQUITY!!!
I have a theory,they are probably afraid of hiring ugly people because they're afraid of getting canceled on the internet if they intentionally make the character ugly.
I dont understand why people feel they need to be represented in fiction. When I'm playing a hack n slash, I don't want the character I'm controlling to be a middle aged' slightly balding dad bod saviour, killing monsters to a heavy metal backing track I'm waiting for the next god of war instalment where kratos slips a disc and spends half a year recovering and complaining about his back. Average looking people aren't central protagonists. They're background characters the same as they are in most movies. This character looks more like Jamie Oliver in drag
People should be seeking role models among the actual people they know, like their parents or teachers. Not TV or game characters. I don't understand why they look to fictional characters for anything more than entertainment. It's like trying to make a career out of knowing how to ride sand worms. It's not real. There's no job. Likewise fictional characters aren't real. Don't try to be like them. Why is this even a problem? Where did society fall down and allow this?
Most men can relate to characters, while most women want to have self inserts. Hence the "representation" nonsense these days. Video games used to cather to men, who are the biggest group playing it, and nerdy women simply went along and had fun. Now the miserable feminists have taken over and want others to be as miserable as they are.
All these actresses that are wasting their time being mo-caped into video games, do they not even bother to look at the end result and realize that their facial likenesses in the games are being uglified every time? Do they not look at the final product and see that the character doesn't look like them at all? Why are they all chicken s*** to even speak up to the developers and take action? This is why I hate photorealism in video games and why I hate seeing the actor's or actresses likeness in the games. These developers should be designing original looking characters and just have them voice the characters. We don't want to see them (the actor's or actresses) in the games.
I was okay with "Hanna Solo". Wearing the Solo jacket and pants. Making her a unisex androgynous character because I thought it was the model they used. A little bit too square-jawed and masculine. Until I saw who they used as the model, and I had so many questions.
Kneon: “I’m here with Geeky, who is an attractive female character.” Geeky: “I wouldn’t go that far” He married you and gave you 2 kids, I’m inclined to believe Kneon on this one🤣
6:00 at a certain point I think these actresses are going to have to start demanding apologies. The actress that played Mary Jane was quite gorgeous and they ugly fight her but then they’re gonna have her listed on the game.
It's funny that the Stellar Blade community had roasted the West and the creator told the ppl that are mad that "He doesn't care this what we are giving to the audience what they ask for so deal with it!" There are still female video games characters that are attractive and I'm glad they didn't get their frigging hands on. I'm gonna say is the West won't learn and try to go back when they were good by making women look like women. No, they rather burn themselves to the ground!
Yeah they are unfortunately. It's crazy but amazing to me when a demon from hell in a game can look more prettier than any western world game designed today just tells you a lot for how far society has come with this mess now.
From some pics, it looks like they aged/thinned her face and floofed out her hair compared to the reveal trailer… basically giving her a bad case of the 1970s. Some people think that it was a graphics downgrade to accommodate Ubi’s elderly game engine but I wouldn’t put it past them to have been influenced by the consultant parasites… or just being evil, considering the Skull and Bones fiasco.
I've been following this for like a decade. It's mostly because Male to Female trans individuals get extremely upset and dysphoric when they see attractive women.
The most amazing thing about this is how they (dev studios) succesfully managed to gaslight many women into accepting that uglifying women is for their own good. Imagine if, instead on women vs men, they did this with black vs white characters, telling black people "it's for their own good". I wonder if they'd still be as succesful with the gaslighting.
I don't know, these morally corrupt and bankrupt people gaslit black people into voting for the Democrats for years "for their own good", and look how that's playing out. I say they've successfully brainwashed so many of the masses, and we're in an uphill battle trying to de-program them and wake them up.
They're not successful at all. No one is buying the propaganda, which is why the industry is failing. Women are not that dumb, the ones promoting this stuff are in on the agenda.
"There is in fact a manly and legitimate passion for equality that spurs all men to wish to be strong and esteemed. This passion tends to elevate the lesser to the rank of the greater. But one also finds in the human heart a depraved taste for equality, which impels the weak to bring the strong down to their level, and which reduces men to preferring equality in servitude to inequality in freedom." -Alexid de Tocqueville
I bet they don’t make frumpy, ugly characters in RPGs. Also, I don’t want to be preached to in my FANTASY ESCAPISM! I am not a colonist. I have never stolen from another culture. Stop telling me I’m evil!
Every single female character in mortal Kombat is just a mess. Some worse than others but it's just so obvious and when you hear who is behind the character designs it makes a lot of sense. The agenda isn't even debatable it's right in front of you.

Excuse me game devs, I’m an attractive lady that enjoys playing attractive ladies in games. Just as I enjoy playing attractive men in games. Its part of the fantasy
It’s like, have these devs seen how long people of both genders will spend on a character creation screen getting their character just so? I know I can spend a while on characters of either gender just tweaking features and color pallets. There’s even tutorial videos by female players devoted to tips for improving your character’s look!
That's like me, a guy that always makes his avatars, both female and male really good looking. I do not need a chubby, balding guy like me to be represented in a game.
No you're not.
Hush, you've obviously internalized misogyny, so your feedback is discarded.
Ikr, I'm a woman and I want my female characters to be beautiful and my male characters to be hot. That's part of the fun of a visual medium!
So they want a strong female character like Lara Croft, but they don't want her to be strong or female. Makes sense
The chick they scanned for this main character was a solid hot 8 and then they turned her in to a 4. The pricing model for this game is robbery. Angelina Jolie did it..
You know I could see that
I find it hilarious that people keep saying hourglass figures are just UnREaLiStic, yet, i have a very prominent hourglass figure, and i see myself way more in lara croft than i EVER would as TLOU2 Abby. No matter how much i go to the gym and take protein. Im a very active person, i do acrobatics like trapeze, so my arms are muscular, *but i will never have abby-like muscles*. Talk about what’s truly unrealistic for women lol
Exactly, a woman with arms like Abby is extremely rare unless they take steroids. And it would be hard to believe that steroids would be still available in that world. Women become lean/toned when they workout, not "jacked," as you obviously know. Plus, most men wouldn't want someone like an Abby.
actually got an ad for this game before this very video... followed by an ad for a toilet cleaning product. coincidence I'm sure.
Hey now,don't say that,it belongs in a trash bin
Poor toilet,it deserves to flush poop,not a hot dumpster.
So fitting 😂
Even the algorithm wanted to dunk on this game, damn.
At least they're offering a way to clean up the mess 😂
The character in-game model looks like an 80s grade school teacher that woke up 20 minutes before class.

Mortal Kombat is the perfect example. Mortal Kombat 9 characters look absolutely amazing and 10x better than MK1 and that's a difference of about just 10 years. Just look at Jade and Sindel, they straight up look from another game franchise compared to now. 2000s was an explosion of great art, the women in Unreal Tournament and most other action/shooter games looked absolutely georgeous whilst the men were buff as hell.
The developers really drank the Anita Sarkeesian coolaid about the male gaze. I hope we have more diversity of characters rather than plain Joes and Janes going forward and we don't have to rely on Japan to give us what we want.
When the Palworld devs joked about how Americans like making ugly characters, I thought it was just a joke, but after seeing this, no they were 100% correct Americans love making ugly characters.
They are so doing this on purpose. It's absurd and stupid.🧐
they are. they want to change peoples mind and create a strange utopian society. the thing is, that will never work out, they just don't know it yet.
I’m represented, the female characters look like me, a dude.
As that IGN france writer said 'we cannot make pretty women in video games because then real women won't be able to measure up to them and so will just off themselves in shame'
Kinda defeats the the purpose of the strong independent women thing if seeing a pretty lady is enough for them to kill themselves.
And that's because real women see digitally attractive woman as their competition. Shows how insecure they really are.
says a lot about the mental state of someone to think such a thought.
I bet he must feel happy because of this ugly character
What I do NOT understand is why people require a TV or game character be someone they can look up to or have as a role model. You're supposed to role model yourself out of REAL PEOPLE like your parents or teachers or whatever. Not a character on TV.
Kneon's game should be called "Treasure Chests". 🧐

@@animezilla4486 that argument would hold weight if we had a good enough sample size of cases where it actually panned out but in most cases the ugly character also has an abysmal story.

Tomb raiding is "bad", but it's still okay to feature grand theft, assassinations, and endless violent battles in video games? Come on. This stuff is fantasy. It's fun to collect treasure and beat up and kill bad guys. It's not fun to be lectured on moral issues. What does Lara do now? Go to auctions? Sit at home, covered in the ashes of repentance? Start an UglyFans website? A tomb raider who can no longer raid tombs is a... ???
It's funny how they really think they discovered raiding archaeological artifacts is bad.
It was exactly as bad in 1996.
But it was a game, and people got along because it was not real life and it was funny.
It's like playing "assassin" in Diablo II.
"I'm sorry, but we realized that assassination is bad, so this character is turned into a marriage counselor for this game, to make amend for her past misdeed".
TBF, if not for people like Indiana Jones, and the British museum, most of the artifacts we can study would not exist. They would've been destroyed with the other artifacts in purges when the CCP took over, or by Muslims etc.
Western 'tomb robbers' are the only reason the world has historical artifacts, and the only reason the people complaining even know something is missing.
UglyFans!!! Oh my gosh, thank you for the laugh. Genuinely created some joy lol
It's intentional so transwomen don't get their feelings hurt
"Show me where the bad game hurt you." Priceless
As a female who is 202 lbs and a gamer this is so dumb I hate it they are basically saying if you look like the new characters your ugly and this is supposed to make you feel better? And if you like older characters your a bad person? This is why I go for games with character creation let me be a hot chick with full blown makeup and hair in a bad ass dress with swords!
Yes, yes they are, even when they hire attractive actresses to mocap them, they still beat their in game avatar with an ugly stick to make her fit for twitter consumption.
They did the lady that "modeled" for Ma'am Solo dirty... she needs to sue the pants off em.
There is no way it's a system limitation when there are near photorealistic models out there done by artists with a keen eye, years of experience, and newly devised AI systems. These frompy character models are what I - an amateur - would slap together in Blender for a game about mutant sapient potatoes masquerading as human to take over the world.
The problem is when you start breaking it down, first of all you look at the model versus the character. Then you look at other male characters like the one from Jedi survivor who is basically a one for one with his in-game character.
Then you look over at Japan who very consistently perfectly replicates the actors with the in-game likenesses.
You can tell exactly where the problem lies, it's entirely with Western developers and it's entirely with female characters and only female characters.
Someone within one of these big companies anonymously wrote a whole thing about how they've been forced to make female characters and only female characters flat and more androgynous and manish for lack of a better word. I am not surprised considering things that have come out from nether realms and WB and I mean look at those characters from the last Mortal Kombat, Nuff said.
Look no further than all Actors and Actresses scanned for Death Stranding and how close the female Characters are to their RL counterparts.
Its not, just look at the male characters. Near perfect recreations of the models they're based on. Or just look at older games like the Witcher 3.
@@Niemand I saw those. Those models are downright beautiful.
Why have real people getting face scan if they don't even look like the model that they are getting face scan? Just cut the model and save the money for something else.
Even Galen Marek back in 2008 looked identical to Sam Witwer.
It is funny it seems to only affect Western developed games too, isn't that a coincidence.

This dates all the way back to Mass Effect Andromeda. The FeMC was based off a beautiful lady, but her in game model was busted af.

I agree with what TH-camr Melonie Mac calls all this: "catering to the trans gaze." It isn't the case that these female video game characters are simply being made average-looking .They're being made to look like trans-women, with their pronounced jaw lines, broad foreheads. angular facial features, etc. This is almost assuredly the DEI crowd's latest salvo in the war to normalize trans ideology to all those toxic male gamers who they believe need to be taught that this is what a "real woman" can look like.
And THIS is why they won't ever get genuine respect from the public.
"The Tumbler Role Call" is exactly what this is.
Don't worry you guys. They told MEN not buy this game. And marjority of women are not going buy it either. Wait for the crying. It's coming.
Why aren’t those sexist cis man-babies buying the game that we man unattractive to cis men!!!???”
Don't mind if I do, besides I'm not a huge star wars fan.
What’s the point of hiring good looking women if they are just going to make them ugly? And why are all the guy characters not getting this treatment? INEQUITY!!!
I have a theory,they are probably afraid of hiring ugly people because they're afraid of getting canceled on the internet if they intentionally make the character ugly.
Im not sure but maybe its because that feminists are ugly themselves. So it is ugly feminists who think all women should be ugly like them.
Power trip from uglifying hot women models

I dont understand why people feel they need to be represented in fiction. When I'm playing a hack n slash, I don't want the character I'm controlling to be a middle aged' slightly balding dad bod saviour, killing monsters to a heavy metal backing track I'm waiting for the next god of war instalment where kratos slips a disc and spends half a year recovering and complaining about his back. Average looking people aren't central protagonists. They're background characters the same as they are in most movies. This character looks more like Jamie Oliver in drag
Yeah those kinds of people only care about themselves basically they like to smell their own farts so everything needs to be them.
People should be seeking role models among the actual people they know, like their parents or teachers. Not TV or game characters. I don't understand why they look to fictional characters for anything more than entertainment. It's like trying to make a career out of knowing how to ride sand worms. It's not real. There's no job. Likewise fictional characters aren't real. Don't try to be like them. Why is this even a problem? Where did society fall down and allow this?
Most men can relate to characters, while most women want to have self inserts. Hence the "representation" nonsense these days. Video games used to cather to men, who are the biggest group playing it, and nerdy women simply went along and had fun. Now the miserable feminists have taken over and want others to be as miserable as they are.
Likely the fact that parents don't seem interested in raising their children.

All these actresses that are wasting their time being mo-caped into video games, do they not even bother to look at the end result and realize that their facial likenesses in the games are being uglified every time? Do they not look at the final product and see that the character doesn't look like them at all? Why are they all chicken s*** to even speak up to the developers and take action?
This is why I hate photorealism in video games and why I hate seeing the actor's or actresses likeness in the games. These developers should be designing original looking characters and just have them voice the characters. We don't want to see them (the actor's or actresses) in the games.

From some pics, it looks like they aged/thinned her face and floofed out her hair compared to the reveal trailer… basically giving her a bad case of the 1970s.

I've been following this for like a decade. It's mostly because Male to Female trans individuals get extremely upset and dysphoric when they see attractive women.
I love the one where "she's" compared to Luther from the The Warriors.
The most amazing thing about this is how they (dev studios) succesfully managed to gaslight many women into accepting that uglifying women is for their own good.
Imagine if, instead on women vs men, they did this with black vs white characters, telling black people "it's for their own good". I wonder if they'd still be as succesful with the gaslighting.
Only the ugly ones believe it. The pretty ones and the average ones hate it.
I don't know, these morally corrupt and bankrupt people gaslit black people into voting for the Democrats for years "for their own good", and look how that's playing out. I say they've successfully brainwashed so many of the masses, and we're in an uphill battle trying to de-program them and wake them up.
They're not successful at all. No one is buying the propaganda, which is why the industry is failing. Women are not that dumb, the ones promoting this stuff are in on the agenda.
this stuff is starting to make me rather angry. I need to unplug from the internet. this shit is startting to drive me nuts
"There is in fact a manly and legitimate passion for equality that spurs all men to wish to be strong and esteemed. This passion tends to elevate the lesser to the rank of the greater. But one also finds in the human heart a depraved taste for equality, which impels the weak to bring the strong down to their level, and which reduces men to preferring equality in servitude to inequality in freedom."
