You know he is the most handsome of them all, plus he's good with kids.
You better believe some lucky gal would have put her hands on him already if he did not vow chastity.



You are goddam right (i just took upon myself to change your exemple for more dramatic effect).


He turned down a promising career as a fitness model to pursue wrestling haha.
 
I remember playing Uncharted 2 and my then girlfriend kept commenting on the brunette female in the game, "Oh my god, she's so sexy, is this real? What movie is this. WOW, she is so freaking sexy..." :messenger_tears_of_joy:

I'm stoked for Stellar Blade, it's not even my type of game but I'm getting it for sure to show support. I want to see Asian developers have more weight in how games are presented as a whole. I'm tired of Western developers making the lamest shit that caters to people who binge watch TV shows more than they play games.

It's nice when things are sexy and attractive, but the whinging, whining, and gnashing of teeth when they're not just give creedence to the notion of video gamers being a bunch of basement dwelling losers who can't handle real women and go to sleep with their waifu pillows at the end of the night. The constant stream of people calling normal looking characters woke around here really just kind of exemplifies that.

Beauty is one thing.

Shoving the protagonist's butt in your face all the time is another thing entirely.

This is beauty and grace combined, for instance.

For real though, it’s refreshing to see something with a more conservative or romantic beauty. Ico shows that off wonderfully for sure.

It’s just also fun to have some unapologetic sex appeal sometimes. Especially now when you have the obnoxiously vocal minority of the mentally subnormal trying to control media (and succeeding often enough with the modern equivalent of Bible thumping).

This might be mind blowing to some people, especially those that have drunk the kool aid of certain ideologies, but humans are still the same biological machines they've always been for millennia.


Biology precedes society and culture.

I mean, even outside of that obvious reason, and good for them for being so plain about it, very refreshing, she's clearly not human. Robot? Not sure I know enough about the game to say but clearly altered / not human.

Who would not make super hot robots? Why would you put flaws on something you can make perfect?
Easy, killer. This sounds like the whole “she is 10,000 year old dragon” bs.

and possibly underage? (I have no idea who that is.)
Why not both? Violence is allowed, why should in your face sexy not be? It's already for adults or late teens or whatever rating it gets. Desiring the other sex, or same sex, is a much more positive thing than resorting to battles for any conflict.

We seriously need to get back to times where Tom Cruise dancing without pants, or playing volleyball with his sweating colleagues in a fucking fighter jet movie can be enjoyed by women, while men can look on the current Phoebe Cates coming out of a pool or Jennifer Connelly riding a horsey with suggestive themes around. Not every 80s thing was great, but it appears that America had only a very brief period where they were not weirdly uptight and lately some loud voices trying very hard to asexualise the entire society, which is just insane and practically suicidal for mankind as a whole.

Problem created by sole reason of constant whining and b*tching about attractive female characters in games by people not playing video games.
 
Nice to see a dev come out and state the obvious. Fuck the woketards and western feminists who hate everything almost as much as they hate themselves. Beautiful girls are always going to be admired by men. Been that way before all this woke poison and will still be that way after wokeism has died a slow painful death. I will support this and any other game and dev who create similair characters in their games. Pretty sad times we live in when someone has to come out and explain why they decided to have an attractive female lead in their video game. Day one purchase for me and I hope like Hogwarts it sells a ton and makes all the woke clowns heads explode.

I get it. Shes hot. And I like the honesty.

But to me its fucking stupid.

I cant take your game seriously when some 5'2 hot as fuck girl in heels and a mini skirt is beating up giant alien monsters. Takes me right out of it. And makes the game seem dumb.

Its why I cant get into the whole anime action style games. Way too much of that corny shit.

Good. Obviously I like this because Eve is attractive, but I also respect the honesty. Just own the fact that you made a hot character that people would enjoy looking at. This approach feels more natural (and more  fun) than actively trying to hide or "correct" aspects of the human body that people find attractive.

I think the sort of mindset of covering up female sexuality as if such features don't exist in reality (or are somehow "bad") is weird, more backwards than anything, and just lame.

And you played Last of us 2?
 
I never understand the whole "in-game characters are too sexy" thing. if you dislike it, don't buy it. go make your own game with a fully covered up character and I'm sure it would still sell well if it's actually good. people have the freedom to like what they find appealing. and if you feel sexiness isn't appealing, go tell all those Tiktok THOTs, hot tub streamers and Onlyfan girls to not do what they do. or would you rather go live in China where the government would restrict these sorta things, along with every other rights you have? there is no perfect world where everyone is happy about everything. put those energy into better use on other things that's more important in life. I don't like some of the things around my life too, but I don't go around complaining about them simply because it's not for me. I understand they're for people with different taste than me and I accept that fact and move on. stop wasting your life on these silly things.

It's easy enough to figure out. As a society, we encourage titty and tub streamers, Onlyfans, Pornhub, stripping etc, because it's indicative of women mastering their sexuality and working their grind. With a fictional character, that easy little hack becomes inverted, because a fictional character has no agency over their own sexuality.

I mean, taken to it's logical extreme, anyone who writes a killer in a compelling murder plot should be thrown in prison for forcing that innocent character to go on a killing spree, but...

Who would not make super hot robots? Why would you put flaws on something you can make perfect?
I guess one could argue that flaws make something more unique and therefore even more attractive (beauty marks/moles, freckles etc.), but also there's no perfect to attractiveness since in the end it will be subjective.
