Do you remember Haydee? [NSFW....I guess?]

Of course I remember this game! It has the weird blancmange boob woman with no face in it! How could I forget.

I'm concerned for anyone who finds that thing sexy.

To be entirely honest, this game could be brilliant and I still wouldn't play it because I have no interest in playing as a faceless boob monster.

Well, personally I don't find it sexy. Faceless tit-mcgee is kinda a turnoff for me. Also it looks kinda dumb.

But that goddamn walk cycle. The whole dainty careless skipping thing she's doing with her hands while she does a nice hip swaying supermodel walk. It does not transition well at all into the aiming animation. It looks so fucking ridiculous. This is the thing that I find most interesting about this game. Not the ass cam, not the way the game tries so damn hard to put tits and ass on screen at all times through camera placement. No, that walk cycle. It bothers me. What is wrong with me.

Also, the way the game is treating her as fairly disposable (given the amount of bodies of (clones of?) the heroine you came across) coupled with the pretty creepy character design just ups the ICK factor for me.

What did Yahtzee say in his Ninja Gaiden 2 review again? "Its immature obsession with blood and titties makes me insulted to be the target audience"? Just replace the word "blood" with "ass" in that sentence and you have my feelings on the matter (based on this trailer).

Maybe it's the camera angle, but the character's proportions just look... wrong. It's off putting, crossing into uncanny valley creepiness. Clearly the character has... erm, curves, but her arms just look too skinny and thin for that body type. Is she meant to be human or a robot?

 

[Zen Bard]

Wait? This is a game?

I thought it was a video of Kim Kardashian wearing something from Kanye's collection...

I'll echo everyone else about the main character. Its honestly disturbing and no where near 'sexy.'

To be honest, it looks like what a child or shut-in might think a woman looks like after not having seen one except from watching a single anime show once.

The Guybrush Threepwood argument is the best example of why youtube comments are profoundly worthless and devoid of actual critical thought. The reason Guybrush worked as a character is because he existed as a contrast to your typical male hero who was strong and powerful. When it comes to female characters, you don't have the same sort of thing; if you wanted a similar situation you'd have a game about a princess who is powerful and independent. Quite honestly, the only way that this argument works is if you aren't aware of how male and female characters have been treated quite differently in fiction for a very long time. Maybe after years and years and years of female characters being nothing but strong, that youtube comment will have some merit, but until then it's exactly what one would expect from a youtube comment.

Teeheehee...
Years upon years of Byronic anti-heroes didn't do jack because male characters are just That Tough.
And years upon years of action girls and femme fatales didn't do shit because the female characters are just That Weak.
This will never change! Never! As... long as you choose to percieve the world in this particular way.

Or maybe you cherry pick the ~5% of examples that go against the grain so you can reinforce your world view that video games are perfect bastions of equality that have nothing wrong with them and definitely aren't influenced by 'politics' ever (unless its those damn SJWs).

Looks like a possibility to me. I like games that encourage caution and consideration of the environment.
As for the whole appearance thing. I would like it better if the game went somewhere with it thematically. If we're going to have a (allegedly) sexy bot protagonist, let's own it instead of timidly inserting it into the game. Add sexy turrets, and amorous landmines, and other stuff. Make it a theme, don't just put it there and walk away. Otherwise it feels out of place.

 

[Elvis Starburst]

Gameplay could be great. But I think this character design is just a bit too much. And yet I love big hips, ass, boobs, etc. I dunno, it doesn't seem like it works too well with everything else. It was pointed out that the lower half is pretty much uncovered for the most part while the upper half is fully clothed. It looks weird, why would this be a thing? The camera doing everything it can to showcase every bit of the big bouncy tits and shaking ass with the dainty super model run cycle doesn't sit well either.

I have few problems with this being a thing in games. There's simply something bout it here that feels more off putting than most.

Edit: Watching the trailer again, I think it's 3 things I mentioned that bother me. The camera, the lack of clothing from the torso down, and the insane boob size.
Edit edit: Oh, and the first thing mentioned on the Steam page is that this game is "hardcore." I find it hard to take that seriously these days

 

[Pseudonym]

As a game it looks competently made. Not neccesarily good, but very playable. But yeah, the charactar design is the big eyegrabber with the big bouncing boobies and the ass covering half the screen when she crouches through small pipes. Not a particularly original eyegrabber, but whatever. I'll echo sageoftruth in saying that as long as it does something thematically, I'm fine with it.

I do understand the people who get kind of tired of particular features of women being highlighted so much, though I'm not sure we should pin that on every individual game that does it.

You know, I hear the guy crating this game only embraced the whole "sex sells" thing after some lewd artwork was created of his character.

Seems to me he's not trying to cause a moral panic, but rather just playing the hand his potential market has dealt him. Making the best of what he's got. He seems to take it lightheartedly, in my opinion.

I don't get the feeling that this is as outright or blatant as say, your Quiet-type characters (which are still perfectly fine) I don't realistically see people getting upset because of the design of this character however I wouldn't be surprised if some angry people start filling diapers over this character. The internet is where you go for unrealistic human reaction, after all.

There are already many artworks that show her EXTREMELY FAT. Like REALLY FAT!!!
However there are other artworks that...

There are simple ROCK!!!

Btw, Jim Sterling made a Video for the game:


Funny as hell!!! Really like to see Jim get scared.
Also yes, I like this kind of difficulty. Look Promising as far I saw.

 

[Level 7 Dragon]

I don't know, the character design looks really off-putting. It's just the mix of strerile prosthetics and a very large behind, it just lands right in the uncanny valley for me.

A shame, since whoever created the game clearly put a lot of effort into his baby. The gameplay looks dynamic and well thought out. I just wish the fanservice was if not toned down, then made optional.

Nothing against T&A, it just seems to conflict with the rest of the game, instead of complimenting it. As if I'm playing one of those erotic Skyrim mods.
