I'm not a guy, and I never called her those things. But yes the character model is bad, that is a valid criticism and there is nothing sexist about it. No one criticises supermans/sinestros face not because he is a man but because it actually has detail and is well modeled, what aren't you getting?
Wow is this really happening? I commend your dignity, good talk indeed.
No, I know what you mean. A lot of the time, women in games are over-sexualized. Thing is, the same thing happens with men in games too. I mean how many male main characters are portrayed as chiseled-grizzled-rough-tough-baddasses? This (and this is pure speculation) is probably just because video games are an escape and a consumer product. Do people wanna play as Mr. kickass or an average looking, slightly over-weight, pizza guy (same example for females)? Perhaps that is just an issue with the artform; not very many games can have a deep story with interesting characters, so they make up for it. Good looks are a quick and easy solution to character depth or personality traits. No one is going to make a character unattractive AND uninteresting (unless maybe they are a random npc I guess?). I think it's just more of a business decision, albeit a banal one. Kinda like how DC had to fucking make Amanda Waller skinny and sexy for no reason other than accessibility.
Yeah that physical harassment in the first link was definitely uncalled for. As for that "rape joke", is nothing more than mildly distasteful. My friends and I used to say that shit to eachother all the time and it's only ever been a "You's about to get yo ass kicked" to me. In the article they go on to over-analyze the phrase with a passion. This is kinda what I mean when I say people get unjustifiably outraged at these things; It's a slap in the face to women that are actually ingrained in the culture enough to see that kind of stuff for what it is.
OH word? You don't see my avatar? That's a pic of my wife and I. Hold that shit. Fuck are you talking about.
Who is saying this? Who is saying NRS should patch the game to make the character models look better? Maybe one doofus? I criticize the art because I'm an artist, and I think a true artist should always strive to get better. I criticize because I want NRS games to not only play great, but look great as well. What the hell is wrong with that? I want future games to have better animation and 3D models. You're arguing some point that nobody was even talking about.
NRS usually only screws up the lower part of faces, and we can already see that on Hawkgirl, and it looks fine.
Anecdotally, I've found female gamers to be much more interested in the physical attractiveness of the characters than male gamers. I know a lot of female gamers, but most of them like Japanese games, like Final Fantasy, where the male and female characters are prettier. I have heard female gamers explicitly say that they weren't interested in a particular game because the characters were all ugly. They just didn't want to spend hours upon hours playing a game as ugly people. American male gamers tend to not care about physical attractiveness of the characters so much. American male gamers tend to have a preference for big, muscle-bound protagonists. If the main character is a male that is too handsome, it will sometimes be slammed by American male gamers for having 'pretty-boys' instead of being a real, hardcore game. Go to any gaming convention and you are going to see a bunch of females cosplaying Final Fantasy characters or other games with attractive characters. I am NOT saying women are shallow and that physical attractiveness is all that they care about. I'm sure that many women played Red Dead Redemption because it was a great game, even if the protagonist wasn't a looker. I'm just saying, anyone who thinks that wanting a game to have attractive females is putting women off hasn't talked to the same female gamers that I have. It is actually the opposite. If you have more attractive female and male characters in a game it would probably be more endearing to the female gamer crowd, not less. Yet, by attractive I don't mean big-boobed, scantily clad, sex object women. Characters like Elena and Chloe from Uncharted or Lightning and Fang from FFXIII are some great female characters that aren't sex objects, but are still not done ugly, and female gamers like and appreciate those characters, believe me.
Well mmh doesn't look fine, he has a peanut head, his head is oversized in the comics, as for batgirl, her forehead is pretty big, maybe they should swap foreheads?
But the anatomy is off entirely, her chest muscles and shoulders are disjointed. Also, women can have muscles and still look intentionally muscular like chun li, wonder woman in the comics has a light bit of muscle tone but not body builder style. She was given beauty by Aphrodite.
her name is Wonder WOMAN not Wonder Girl or Wonder Teen she looks fine the way she is maybe just give her a better nose currently her nose looks like it was given to her by Hercules and also how did this threat turn from a Zatanna threat to a Wonder Woman thread.
I've already explained and shown she does not look fine, the anatomy is off. Women don't have 4 foot long chests and 5 foot wide shoulders. smh
Um what?
Um what?
Woman can have big size chest or shoulder if they want to...
Wonder Woman is no different from those women with how she is portrayed in this game.
Sigh no one is looking down on anyone, stop trying to change a comment about a bad character model in to an attack on women.Why are muscular women or gals who like to build muscle looked down upon?
Not every woman wants to be skinny or a image for there man only...
Some woman want to build there bodies and become as fit as the female body allows...
I died laughing.
No... I can't. I'm DEAD.hmmm....
.....yea maybe not lol
