why are western devs obsessed with the idea of playing as a middle aged woman?
Because they listen to journalists instead of their customers.
>>740391209Mystery
>>740391209Oh my god who the hell cares
>>740391209Because westerners are obsessed with the idea of playing as a character that constantly shows their face. Consultants see this and instantly recognize that this is a place where they can cloutfarm and justify their paycheck.This would not be an issue with face covering helmets and anthros.
>>740391209Because they are middle aged women.
Genuine question: are there any more modern examples? Obviously there's the two OP mentioned, but what other games have older women as a direct, controllable protagonist? I can easily name a shit ton of older male protagonists.Control? That character is 35, not sure I'd consider that middle-aged. There's that indie game that got announced some time ago where you play as an elderly woman I guess?
I hate American games.
>>740391209when will they get obsessed with middle aged black women instead?Stop hiring Debra Wilson to play as a supporting role. Let her be the protagonist.
>>740391209Middle aged women spend the most money. They're the white whale of video gaming, they don't give a shit YET but companies keep hoping that they'll be the one to haul that whale up on to the deck and start harpooning
>>740391429>I can easily name a shit ton of older male protagonists.This is a problem across the board. It's in films too.It used to be our action heroes were young. In their 20s, maybe their early 30s, but in the last 10-15 years all the action heroes are old fucks. Like in their 40s and 50s. For fuck's sake, Keanu Reeves is 60 and still playing an action hero. Harrison Ford is 80 and still playing an action hero. Old fucks just don't want to accept the fact they're old fucks and so make sure the action heroes in the games and films they make are their age.
>>740391429Ghost of Yotei. Its the Snoy trademark at this point
>>740391429>>740391960
>>740391363I do
>>740391209fear of being called a pedophile
>>740391363I care. Go away
Well she is krato's wife, I don't expect her to be 18.Also, she looks decent for a middle aged woman.
>>740391960Why does she look like she has down syndrome?
>>740393162I love the parentheses so that you are not allowed to misunderstand the post.
>>740391856and as we can see, they are fine with having younger prettier self inserts and hot men to goon over considering the success of LADs
israel's operation total white culture deaththey use blackrock money to take over or bribe media publishersafter that it's just a matter of hiring activists for development
>>740393227>well it's supposed to look like shit
>>740391209Real answer? They drank the kool-aid and believe that "representation" really matters.
>>740393227>I don't expect her to be 18.Why not? Gods don't even age.
>>740393409sex with Suletta and her wife Miorine
>>740391209Only incels care
>>740391209Because Rat Religion is matriarchal Matriarchal= hags club boycotting the competition
>>740391209Sony's movie games went all in on mo cap so the characters have to look like the voice actorsImagine the Persona cast looked like the VA's lol
>>740391209Meh some restaurants have different decor even if the food is the same... Sometimes you want different crowds
>>740394720That’s the thing, they actually aged up the mo cap actor for the character so it’s completely intentional. She’s in the afterlife so there’s no reason she can’t be at her physical peak rather then as she was when she died
>>740395036I mean the similarity in the mocap suit is pretty close?
>>740395036>they made the stinky dried up turd extra crusty ok but who cares?
It's ironic how people defending these ugly designs by saying the charactera are middle aged are just implicitly saying middle aged women are ugly
>>740393162I still don't know if GCJ are a bunch of trolls or if it's a serious sub reddit.
>>740395106qt3.14
>>740395106(You) apparently
>>740391209because blackrock pays for appealing to trannies
>>740393517she is not a god ?
>>740395208How so? I wouldn't buy that 41 year old dried up turd even if it was slightly less crusty and more faithful to the real life 41 year old dried up turd.
>>740391209Autistic tranny devs trying to self insert
>>740395136Modelling how people look after Hollywood slop also comes with the significant problem of implicitly turning your society into one with significant premature aging due to constant inhuman stressors, malnutrition, drug addiction and contamination of food/water with industrial waste.
>>740391209>>740393227She looks much better IRL now at 42 so they had to actually age her even more to make her look like a fucking hag
>>740396136I still don't understand the fetish in American games of having characters look like their voice actors.Baldurs Gate 3 and Expedition 33 didnt do that shit.
>>740391209Hags mad
Why can't we have both?
I think I'm insane but I feel like her eyes and portion of her face is closer to that one woman who died by cop than the actress she's supposedly based on
>>740397398>kratos I must try to run over cops to save the worthless illegal aliens!
>>740391209Something about wanting their "artform" to be "taken seriously"
>>740397468weird because many well acclaimed movies have beautiful women in them
>>740395364She's a Ásynjar and Jötunn. So yes a goddess, that's going to be the obvious twist.
>it’s the devs who are obsessed! Not me who keeps making these threads!
>>740397296The proposal of Dunbar's Number is that the human brain can have stable relationships with about 150 people at the same time, 1 is a tragedy, 1 million is a good start and all that.The average major corpo sees this, looks at the parasocial relationships people cultivate with celebrities, looks at the IRL hate mail sent to actors for actions of the characters they play, etc. and decides that the average consoomer is barely sentient and will care more about characters in a game if they look like [Actor], they will buy more product if it is endorsed by [Actor] and so on, because the average person has brainwashed themselves into thinking that they have a relationship with at least one celeb.In theory you can probably somewhat bypass by just not using human characters, but that eliminates market research and a bunch of nepojobs.
>>740397296idpol and narcissism
>>740391363The players.
>>740391209because blackrock is hiring leftists who hate white beauty
>>740391209Jailbait is any better?
>>740395106Why would you not get rid of something like this? I really can't imagine it's all that costly or difficult to get remove whatever the fuck these things are called.
>>740398747No, it's MUCH better.
>>740391429>That character is 35, not sure I'd consider that middle-aged.Once a woman hits the wall, she is considered middle-aged. I don't make the rules.
>>740393382Why are there no men at the top beach? Is this a misandrist society?
>>740391209Literally the only reason why I never picked up Returnal is because they made the protagonist an ugly middle aged woman.
>>740391429The middle aged protagonists like Snake, Nathan, Arthur and even nu-kratos are really good looking middle aged men that could have been models IRL.Nobody would have minded "middle aged" women if they also looked equally good looking as the male equivalents.
How come facescanned actors are never made younger looking?
>>740400846How come facescanned actors are never young?
>>740391209>>740391283>>740391298Because that's who's pegging them at home.Maybe if he presents her how she's telling him to he might get unlocked for 2 seconds.
>>740393162It's cute that the libs on reddit pretend to be chuds for laughs just like the chuds here will pretend to be mindless libs for the lolz
>>740391363
>>740401392wtf she looks 5 years old
>>740401748Not really the same. They don't post anything actually controversial to bait replies that runs contrary to the hivemind socially acceptable opinion because it would harm their virtual point score.
>>740391209
This is the kind of female character design I want to see in games.
>>740391209take a wild guess as to who is making those games and for who.
>>740404772
>>740391209>average german woman vs average nordic woman
>>740391209>Woman>>740391417Not quite.
>>740391209Making heroines and sex symbols old hags is one of the way they design DEI women to not offend trannies.
>>740391298>women make fictional women ugly in order to spite menAl Bundy was right, don't bother trying to understand women. Women understand women and they hate eachother.
