Between this talk about vibes and a comment in a thread in Current Events, I finally figured out the tickle in the brain that this game was giving me:

You know how you can tell if an artist of a manga or sfw piece has done a lot of porn or if an anthropomorphic character was drawn by a furry? I'm getting a lot of "cute girl vs slimy monster video you can't buy with PayPal" vibes from that trailer. Not necessarily a problem, but it explains why I thought the Bayonetta or NieR comparisons were falling flat for me.
The character design is known for his work on Blade and Soul, quite literally one of the most infamous examples of using borderline porn designs to skirt the censors

Good to know. I ain't judging the guy or gal, they made their money. They got bills to pay like anyone else.

It’s something I had to Google but here you go -
Describing someone or something [such as a song] as "a whole vibe" is the same thing as saying that person or thing is "a complete package" (or "a total package"), meaning having all the desirable traits or components. "Mood" is sometimes used instead of "vibe", for example "He is a mood" or "He is a whole mood". May 28, 2020
Come on guys it is not that hard to figure out vibe means context. Then again I work with teens at my job so I pick up there words here and there.

I know I am exposing myself but due to my personal smut connoisseuring I could tell this game was Korean because Korean really appreciate a nice shapely ass and Japan is just no catching up. I am yes as soon as the monster grab her and the camera angle along with the "terror moans and eep" I had to make sure I was still watching the Sony showcase.

Besides that gameplay looks fucking fire and the art direction sex doll mc not withstanding captures a very dingy and grimy post apocalypse that hits just right.

It's not hard figure out, it just sounds stupid.

Bayonetta and 2B beg to differ.

Slang and lexicon evolve and change no need to be grumpy old people about it.

And yup just those two like I said Japan is just now catching up. Lets not forget that standard anime waifu was for a while very slim pretty girl whose every iota of fat content in her body went straight to her boobs because reasons.

Hell that is why Bayo stands out and 2B for having the slightest iota of thickness cause Chun Li was the only one carrying the torch all the these years before.

Who said anything about being old and grumpy. 12-18 year old me would still call it stupid and not afraid of speaking my mind about it.

Mai (Fatal Fury/KoF), Cammy, and R. Mika are the ass women in 2D games (until IV & V went 2.5D) and Street Fighter respectively. Ivy is the ass woman of 3D fighting games.

So Japan had plenty of women where the main focus was on "DAT ASS".

I could not give a shit about either side in this. The man is allowed to have his opinion, and should not be harassed regardless. The stupid agruement won't matter in the long run, because people are gonna play it and enjoy the game. Alexander can easily ignore Project Eve, find something better, and move on with his life. Everyone else gonna forget the dumb squabble aside from the hardcore haters or defenders, and seek attention else where, only for the cycle to begin again.

The main heroine has THAT SFM model look to her. Kinda of out of place in this serious(?), dystopian postapo world, that's my impression.

Who even are those korean characters that can rival 2Bs ass?

No, really, who are they? For context.

I give points to R Mika for consistency Mai and Cammy were pretty pancake until sprite work got better. I don't why I forgot about Ivy been playing Soul Calibur since PS2.

Been having this thought for a while now, but people really just have to admit that sometimes they like dumb horny things.

Like, yeah, sure, the writing can be surprisingly good, the mechanics might be flawless, the characterization could be top notch, fine. But you don't need an excuse to like dumb horny things and dumb horny things don't necessarily detract from anything else.
Maybe it will be horny in a way that's good for characterization like Bayonetta, maybe it will be horny for no particular reason like 2B, just....
Please, hypothetical person, don't try and rationalize the dumb horny sci-fi outfit. Don't try to get people to be ashamed of their words and deeds because it turns out she need to breath through her skin. You demean us both with that kind of argument. Just let it be dumb and horny, and let it be mocked for being dumb and horny by people who find it hilarious.

Yoko Taro admitted there is reason why 2B and most the other female androids of her model dress like that. Taro has no problem acknowledging that he loves women in sexy outfits.

It's why I love Bayonetta and the later Oneechanbara games so much. They're honest about it and make no denial on what they are, nor pretend otherwise.

Unfortunately, certain people won't allow him to have that kind of opinion, even from certain sites that preaches so called "positivity", so that kind of shit does not get a free pass no matter what


Unsurprisingly, the trailer attracted the usual attention from performatively woke white men on social media decrying the fact that once again there’s an Asian game with an attractive woman in a leading role. The ideal these days, it seems, is the supposedly more “realistic” figures we’ve seen in recent western games such as The Last of Us Part II.

Never heard these guys, and I don't want to get to know them, so they can fuck off too. They look the like Polygon on the opposite side of the coin.

It's just one guy who got ousted from the journalist scene and makes his ad revenue pandering strictly to coomers. He also promotes PQube's more problematic shit but thats not the point of the topic. It's about how because someone made a critical look at the sexualized designs that they get called derogatory names and insults.

It sounds easy, but saying something like 'this character has big tits because I like tits' is very bad PR. Also openly admitting to putting your waifu in the game is quite strange, and you really have to be running a troll persona or have transcended to another plane of existence. You could say Yoko Taro did it, but the dude is wearing a mask most of the time.

With Kojima, I mean he kind of said it when he wanted Quiet to be sexy for the cosplays. That certainly didn't make things better, so he made up some half-assed defense. Honestly, the controversy is dumber than what Kojima said. If you don't like Quiet as a character now that the game is out, that's fine, but getting angry because she is in a bikini during the reveal trailer, like come on.

Kenichiro Takaki of Senran Kagura was as shameless as they come at least until Sony decided you can't be shamelessly horny anymore. Remember his tits and hometown comment? At least he knew how to have fun unlike the press.
