It's trying to be "ironic" about it, which is as effective as ironic shitposting, or that scene in FFX where Tidus laughs, and it's "supposed to be cringe-worthy".

I'd prefer my video games to not try their hand at meta humor. It never works.

If that was true, then none of the characters would be in skintight latex outfits, which is blatant pandering for the fetishists and shouldn't be in the game.

If I'm gonn a pay 40 bucks for this, I don't want a single thing in my game other than pure gameplay, and elements that directly make the game better. Skimpy outfits and cosmetics do not do that.

>Skintight = emphasizing bodies = as close to naked as you can get = sexual, not necessarily or specifically fetishistic
Except it doesn't belong in a video game. It's purposely there to distract from the GAMEPLAY. Fetishists hate gameplay because it's too "problematic" and they can't masturbate when the game is asking them to interact.

The industry is headed for dark times.

How is it different? Making a woman "Sexy" is a lazy way to make her seem mature, and by extent the game itself.

It takes actual effort to make a character that doesn't need pandering, or skintight latex, or a pink haircut for the tumblr audience. Or one that relies on memes (LE HIGH NOON XD).

Sex is used to make your game look mature because it's considered "taboo". Like throwing in swears like fuck or shit or faggot. Or throwing in violence. Or making your game one big movie with nothing but exposition.

It's forgetting the point of a video game that makes it so bad., because games that are mostly gameplay oriented are considered too "childish".

Having skimpy characters is a game trying to be mature. How do you not get that? If it was being moderate, they would be better dressed. Maybe like something from a Mario game that doesn't need skintight latex (except for that blatant trash in Mario Kart)

Why can't devs do like SEGA does with Yakuza and add like 15 minute recap videos for each previous entry in the series for those that are new and want to be brought up to speed with the current events of the series? I'm guessing it's because most modern devs are lazy.

Or maybe Undertale was focused on the story and moral choices being made.

Making it more or less hard wouldn't have made a difference to the core of the game.

Turns out giving a bunch of ambitious idea guys with little to no experience hundreds of thousands of dollars for a game with 0 publishing responsibilities isn't a very good idea.

>>
>>339770746

But that's just the story though. How does that improve the game?

Infact, that's a HUUUUUGE flaw in Undertale's philosophy. If you play the game the way you want, without regard to the story, you have to grind just to get a good boss fight. If you play the game the way they want you to (being little Miss pacifist) then you're rewarded with a boss fight that mocks you by being a glorified cutscene that you can't lose.

I would've actually preferred it if the game ended after ASGORE. You either spare him or kill him, and as a final boss, he can still you. Maybe buff him a little so he's a challenge. None of this "we need to get the plot across, so remove the problematic videogamey stuff".

You can't say Bayo was JUST for fanservice.
I mean sure, they KNEW her design would draw people in.
But her design is well made and thought out.
It's in keeping with her very sexual nature, and is fitting with her being a witch. Bayonetta's actual character goes hand in hand with her design, you can't tell me such a great and interesting character came about solely because of fanservice.
>>
>>339771465

>The game IS the moral choices you make. That's part of the gameplay.
Is it rewarding though? All you have to do is spam commands and eventually they just stop attacking you. You don't need to think about what you're going to do, and you're not punished for doing something hasty or wrong. Infact, the premise of the game is "you control time, so you can pretty much undo any mistake".

That kind of thing made the impact of the story, and as a result the gameplay, weaker because your choices didn't matter too much. At any time you could undo them. If we had more things immune to change, like Chara corrupting your file, it would've been much more impactful.

Considering the more than 2 hours of cutscenes dedicated solely to watching her strip tease infront of the camera, under the guise of "deep and meaningful story", then yes, I can say that she was solely fanservice. She was the result of Kamiya having a boner for Dante, but he didn't want to seem gay. Kind of like how people had a boner for Squall from Final Fantasy 8, but they were afraid of ridicule, so Square decides "here you can have Lulu from FF10. She's just like Squall, but she has tits!" Problem solved!

Lightning or Lulu, they're both braindead, borderline emo characters.

Way to excuse yourself and keep living in your fantasy autistic retard.

Literally every single game on that list are shit and if any of them were popular you'd see them damagin to your "obscure gamer cred" and would immediatly disabandon them.

You are SO far up your own ass with your ego you even went the whole trouble of calling your own opinions right in addition to making an image showing off your sick obscure game knowledge.

>But to call me a hipster or "obscure gamer cred" or whatever kinda hurts.
It hurts because you know it to be true.

You know you don't actually enjoy any of the games in that list. You literally made a post about how you wouldn't even play a high-budget game because of your superiority complex. All you wanna do is feed your ego so you feel superior than other people.

Go look at yourself and think about it. Instead of trying your best to find games only you like try to go have fun by playing actually good video games.
