How come male sexualization is a-okay, but if you want similarly sexy women in vidya then you're a gooner/incel/etc? Why this double standard?
>>
You already know why.

The Goddess of Love in that exact same game is nude you fucking mongoloid

Hades 2 was for sure a step up in gameplay, but character art, story, and dialogue all took massive hits. Seeing Hermes in 1 vs Hermes in 2 is just night and day

Also the protagonist is mind-numbingly boring. Especially compared to based Zag
>>
>>733708303
Huh? Hermes has the same design in both games, he's just more detailed in 2. It's kinda like Hollow Knight vs Silksong, the artist has improved a lot.
>>
>>733708381
Hermes in the first game was expressive in all the right ways. You look at him running in the first character art and you just know who it is even without being told.
Him standing there showing a peace sign is not the same
>>
>>733708030
It's like sexualization reparations. To put it simply, they feel they are owed a deficit for the past several centuries of the exploitation of females so the world needs more men humiliated, dumbed and stripped down, weakened, gratuitous nude scenes, dick and balls on screen, to even the score.
>>
>>733708437
The first game had kinda over-the-top poses, same with Zeus and Poseidon, the sequel has more natural poses. It's up to preference I guess.

Oh she does FIGHT, she's just not good at it and runs the moment someone could potentially break onecof her nails. So her dressing up with a shield and spear is more performative than practical.
If we want to get more technical she's actually somewhat high on the Olympian power ladder since she's sorta Ouranos' daughter, in a weird way, which puts her on par with the Titans. Even then she's more a barracks bunny than a proper fighter.
>>
>>733711319
Is that why for years she was always known as the goddess of beauty and sex, not a warrior...? Besides, there's already Athena so why would the Slut Goddess fight? She was only created because greeks needed fap material.

All of the Greek Goddesses are cunts besides Persephone and maybe Hestia
>Hera is a giga-bitch, though admittedly she's that way because she's the Goddess of Marriage and her husband is >Zeus. Best known for cursing people and throwing Hephaestus off a mountain.
>Athena is a colossal asshole with unending pride and vanity. When the Trojan War was about to end without much bloodshed she possessed a dude and shot Menelaus to keep it going
>Artemis was a pouty brat who hated men because one time a she fell in love with a dude. She once punished one of her followers because Zeus raped her while transformed to look like Artemis herself. Also Arachne and the Gorgons are her fault.
>Aphrodite started the Trojan War out of self-serving vanity, forcing Helen to sleep with Paris. Would take to the field and flaunt godly power only to scream and flee the moment someone posed a remote threat to her
>Demeter freezes the world for several months because Persephone goes to the Underworld, which admittedly wasn't with either of their consents but Winter does jack shit to Hades and instead just punishes mortals.
>Eris is just a bitch
Like 90% of Greek myths involving Goddesses are about how they're stick up bitches.

>>
>>733711874
Ugly? No. She's not, obviously because they still feel threatened by her, and you have it completely wrong about her being a warrior.

If Aphrodite were this capable main character figure that would be 100x more problematic in their eyes. A beautiful or sexy character CANNOT by any means be shown to be this morally upstanding person, and cannot be shown to be better than or equal to a character such as Athena or Nemesis. That provokes more jealousy than anything.

The people who lost the most were visa/mastercard execs not getting their cut from every sale. Artists and store fronts just switched to other payment processors like JCB
>>
>>733708030
Because human sexual selection is primarily based around women exposing themselves as desirable partners and men competing over them

However this creates an issue as older, less attractive women are at a disadvantage, and old people want to preserve monogamous relationships and reduce potential cheating due to being already committed: the best way to do that is to shame women that advertise their sexyness in order to make them less competitive and even the playing field, although it will still be more in favour of wealthier people when sexyness is less relevant

Video games with sexy women are dangerous because even if fictional women aren't real competition they still normalize and glamorize the advertisement of one's own sexyness
>>
>>733712114
You are such a retard dumb nigger. How much of a fraction of % of revenue do you think that japanese storefronts make up for Visa/Mastercard?
Meanwhile on the store front end literally majority of all purchases happen through visa/mastercard.

Yes, bit of a lesser one

>Athena shows up after hearing that to quell the rumors, challenges Arachne to a weaving contest

>>733714246
>>733714337
I'm like 90% sure they did a heavy rewrite halfway through fearing the original story would put people off too much after Hades 1 made people like the Gods. A lot of early dialogue hints that the Olympians are a bunch of shitters like in the original Myths and that what Chronos is doing is both justified and might even be better for the world, with Mel very obviously being an indoctrinated cult assassin. I'm pretty sure Nemesis even still has lines about it in-game, and they also included Arachne and Heracles who are most famous for being fucked over by the Gods.
>>

It is unanimously agreed the ending is shit and feels out of place. Cronos switching from literally hitler to a doting daddy because of muh time travel completely took me out of the story

>unanimously agreed
They expanded the ending after the initial wave of criticism, and to my understanding, the vast majority of people no longer have an issue with it.

There are now extra scenes where Chronos complains about the family not liking him (and chopping him up), Melinoe ponders about family bonds, suggests Zag talks to him first, then the whole alternate timeline slideshow etc. None of this was in the first draft.
