Some people do find that important tho. I think that it was worth given the cost. It barely impacted the final product (would be just as buggy on release as it was).
In games fluff like that is a few days of work of a single person. While in movies casting diverse instead of professional/adequate for the role changes everything.
Additionally in movies screen time is limited, so spending time on forced inclusivity usually takes away from plot.
Moreso that they went trans=genitals, which isn’t actually trans representation so much as it is fetishizaton. Did they even talk to a trans person during the making of the game or did they just go to Pornhub? If they had a non-binary pronoun option that is actually a good thing though.
In the 2nd area there’s a somewhat graphic sex scene between an Orc and an Ogress. I haven’t gotten too far though, as I’m waiting for the full release.
I mean your character’s nude body is modelled the whole time; there are modded clothing sets that allow them to walk around practically or literally nude. Maybe it’s for that, though since that’s a super niche case I’d imagine they have their own plans
Mr Miyamoto simply does not understand the subtleties of the complex design patterns in these games. Any sufficiently skilled gamer would edge themselves until the final moments of the game, creating an experience that far surpasses anything available in other genres.
I saw this post and was like wtf is this and why are people upvoting this. Then I realized it’s gamingcirclejerk. Now I’m happy you guys are coming over to lemmy :D loved the sub
Bears are child's play. I still can't clean my brain of the day my DM got the object of his unrequited love to play out his sex fantasy in front of her boyfriend by getting her to yes-and yerself into a liason with a DM-insert dragon.
But, like, what if it's just been a really long time since you've played D&D, and you're just really lonely, and long to feel the touch of a 20 sided polygon?
This exactly. I make a note of ruling out things like this at session zero when I DM and also help others to identify their limits. I’ve had people ask why I make such a big deal out of it and my answer is always “because I’ve seen what happens if I don’t.”
Skullgirls’ engine, a.k.a. the Z-Engine, was primarily made by a certain Mike Zaimont, who ended up being not only a chronic sexual harasser, but also an exploitative boss to his employees. So much so, that the development of Skullgirls was eventually moved out of Zaimont’s company, Lab Zero Games, into a new company formed by his former employees, Future Club Games. The only problem being that Future Club still uses the Z-Engine, apparently because reimplementing the entire game in a different engine is economically unfeasible (unlike, apparently, going through all of the artwork of the game with a fine comb to make it less Nazi and less sexualized). Same goes for another game to which Lab Zero licensed the engine to, Them’s Fighting Herds (a.k.a. the offbrand MLP fighter).

This is equivalent to literally making the game from scratch and changing some art assets is no where near as complex and time-consuming as that would be.
I’ve played enough Bethesda games to know that they’re like the Final Fantasy series, but instead of reoccuring themes or characters like Cid, or moogles, it’s reoccuring weird ass janky-ness and bugs.
For instance, I fully expect NPCs to walk stiffly as if they have a broom stick ALL THE WAY UP THEIR BUT. Random performance issues, and maybe even some crashes to desktop for flavor.
I’ll wait and see how it’s received, just like with Cyberpunk 2077, I don’t see what the hype prior to release is about. Wait and see, that’s the smart play.
I’m cautiously optimistic for the game. But either A) they’re lying out of their ass or B) they got rid of all the cool stuff like a live background world, any sort of AI, etc. Or C) they made a huge evolutionary step forward (for Bethesda).
