It's cool. The only people who hate it are normies or morons who take games way too seriously.
>>
>>344900525
So... what's left?
>>
>>344899798
If it's Senran Kagura its fine, but if it was something like Dark Souls or Street Fighter it would seem out of place.
>>
>>344899798
It's fine but mostly irrelevant. Fan service doesn't make a bad game good or a good game bad, it'll be a good or bad game whether there are nice tits and ass in it or not.
>>
Great when it's used as a bonus or extra feature.

Just make sure the game is fine without it first.
>>
>>344899798
How dare people make games that appeal to their target audience. All games should be made to suit only my tastes, even if I wouldn't play the game regardless.

It's very rare for a good game to be made worse by "fanservice" that detracts from the experience of people playing for gameplay/story/etc. Most games with "fanservice" aren't worth playing in the first place, but the "fanservice" gives it some form of appeal to some people.

If you hate "fanservice", please give some examples. I'd be interested in seeing a list of games negatively impacted by "fanservice".

There are forms of fanservice other than sexual. Like throwing a bone to fans of game series by introducing a location that is reminiscent of something important from the past. Or a line of dialogue that references it. Or taking a community joke and including it into the game. It's thanks to reactionary idiots that the term "fanservice" has been relegated to upskirt shots of anime girls. This is fanservice too. And I am completely alright with it. In fact more of it should be done, best in ways that are not too jarring with the game tone. It actually shows that the developers are at least occasionally paying attention to their fandom.

street fighter has plenty of fanservice have you seen chun li's legs

As long as it doesn't interfere with the gameplay, it's okay

it can make sense, like ARR is a pretty shallow themepark MMORPG, what better place to cram as as much chocobos and golden saucers and game tie-ins and kittygirl bikinis, and whatnot, than into Eorzea?

>>344901129
i meant like more flamboyant cases. To me there's nothing sexual about Chun Li's legs, she just looks like a fighter
>>
Bikini's for female characters
>>
>>344899798
As long as it doesn't interfere with the gameplay, then I'm fine with it.

fanservice is fine IF done in measured amounts
boobs and ass on screen for the sake of it? nah

It's nice if done right. It shouldn't be the main focus of a game unless its specifically advertised as that, but otherwise I'm okay with it. I get why it upsets fat lesbians and numales though.
>>
>>344899798
Fan service can make me buy or not purchase a game.
For example, I didn't purchase Xenoblade X because I had it in my mind to make a small flat chested girl and dress her up in lewd outfits.

Another example would be any and all Neptunia games I buy. I ONLY get them for the fan service. And I'm looking into getting DoA, and Senran too.

I believe that most games should not have fan service in them. Just like most games should not have a crafting feature. If it works in the game, or it was designed to be part of the game, then I will choose whether or not to enjoy it.

Witcher 3 has fan service in it. I am not going to buy it because I am not attracted to the girls. Same with Metal Gear 5. So to this end, fan service is pretty much just another aspect in the game. Any game is allowed to have it. Sometimes it is good, sometimes it is not. It just depends on the person buying it.

If you mean fanservice in a lewd way then I don't like it & find it obnoxious. The only time I'm fine with it is when it has not focus and doesn't interfere with gameplay or if it's funny but usually the jokes are overdone or just simply not funny. Like I was playing Danganronpa Another Episode when it came out & then there was this stupid ass fanservice section with me hitting away hands from Cumaru. It came completely out of nowhere & just simply annoyed me.

If you mean fanservice in a general way then it's whatever, as long as it works well with the rest of the game it's fine, hell some times it can be cool depending on what it is.
>>
It's completely fine as long as it isn't too far off the general tone of the game. Sexy girls in fighting games? Good. Quiet slithering on the floor in rain in Phantom Pain? Ehh...

But it will never make a bad game good and I'm certainly not buying a game just because of it.

Fanservice always fits the tone of the game and it always makes it better. Are you either an ugly feminist or a beta orbiter for one?

Well that was the way they were generally treated in the home back in the day. It wouldn't surprise me if a lot of more traditional families there still hold true to that.

You cucks complaining about it are the worst ones here. What's your excuse for not liking fanservice? Do you fear that your librul buddies consider you a bad guy if you actually like beautiful females instead of landwhales?

>>344899798
May or may not be a reason why I check out a game. I like it when it's done right but if the gameplay takes a back seat then I'm probably gonna get bored eventually.
The exception being if your game is focused around it, in which case it ends up being a 50/50 where the game is fine (Senran) or the game is a complete drag (Conception 2)

I like the kind of fanservice that involves two characters which I like very much and think should be together have sex.

The kind of fanservice I don't like is where the person I'm supposed to be admiring is very uncomfortable, or that it gives me the impression that I shouldn't be looking. Unsubtle stuff like the camera work in MGSV just irritates me as well.

Everything else is fine.

Yeah, everyone likes the idea of just completely dominating their woman and basically treating her like a fuckdoll that has to dress up like a sexy kitten or maid or something.

That fantasy of being dominated is just as common for the women as it is to dominate in men.

Like most folks, I'm not against it. I don't like it shoved into my face though with some unskippable cutscene or whatever, I'd much rather have secret areas/unlockable costumes.

Makes the fap more satisfying, like you worked for it. Having it as an unlockable bit of content makes it a bit more intimate too. I do think its a bit obnoxious when its shoved in your face, but I'm not gonna complain much either.

I think fan service in video games is completely fine.

Does it go too far sometimes? Well, how about a counter question. When hardcore real porn is accessible anywhere very easily, what makes fan service in video game media so bad and ugly when porn is allowed to be easily accessed?

If anything, people who complain about fan service in video games are insecure people, that or they think they are protecting people/minorities when they really are not.

If the west had the attitude japan has on this stuff, which is a genuine "its fine get over it" then we would have way less issues in our society.

>When hardcore real porn is accessible anywhere very easily, what makes fan service in video game media so bad and ugly when porn is allowed to be easily accessed?

That the focus of a game isn't supposed to be the same as a porn movie.

We also have a lot of action feels, how would you feel if several porn movies started having guys with rifles storming in in the middle of a scene?
>>
I love it, so long as it doesn't negatively impact the rest of the game. MGSV sucked for many reasons including that.
>>
>>344913778

you missed my point.

It's that people complain and want to censor video game fan service when on the other hand hardcore porn is genuinely allowed.

They are very different things, but it's like if I complained about violence in video games instead of violence in real life.
>>
>>344899798
depends on the game.
If it's a borderline porn game for kissless virgins like DOA? go ahead and add a nude cheat.

If it's a fighting game that wants to be taken seriously like SF, maybe some unlockable costumes.

If it's a fucking horror game from a well known established series like fatal frame and you have bikini costumes and youb ase entire advertising on it? It's a dumb dumb idea.

you sound like a sad sack of shit nobody especially not a girl, would want to talk to.no wonder fanservice is a necessity for you.
