Okay i’m sick of Unity being trotted out as a sacrificial calf for this shit. The reason is 100% valid. The main character of Unity is a man, Arno Dorian. In the co-op mode, YOU the player ALWAYS see yourself as Arno Dorian. All of his THOUSANDS of animations were meticulously motion captured and programmed into the…

Doesn’t help the Metroidvania aspect when the only thing to go back and hunt for are cosmetic upgrades, too. Spending fifteen or twenty minutes to get to a secret area, and all I get is my spaceship is a different shade of blue? No thanks.

What medium? I’m playing on PC and have encountered next to no glitches, and I’m very close to endgame (return to Dathomir).

The problem with that sentiment is that what happened to the native Americans wasn’t an apocalypse.

I think the bigger news to me here is that Gamefreak is saying flat out that they shipped an unfinished game and are patching in all the other Pokemon that weren’t originally in.

For the general whole, this article is virtue signalling and trying to give voice to a very small minority. Media, games media a lot more as of late, is always being critiqued for one thing or another. If she were wearing a bikini or some shit I get it, but a school uniform? Cry somewhere else, I want my google news…

“korean women”

The entire concept deserves to be dismissed. It has no realition to reality or how these outfits are viewed in Korea and/or Japan.

People tend to be dismissive of things that aren’t really worth being invested in. This is an article about Korean women being upset that an already sexualized japanese, repackaged as Korean, girl has been sexualized further. Or not as far depending on how you view school girl outfits verses skin tight latex in terms…

But...it is “just cosmetics.”

Its impossibly stupid politics. Some one has been aroused by ever skin in every game. The only fix is to gouge out our eyes and burn off our genitals. 

I don’t get why the school uniform in particular is bad. D.va’s always looked like a projection of male sexual fantasies to me.

“because you’re privileged enough not to have to deal with the actual issues that the people who are made to wear these sorts of uniforms in real life have to deal with”

It’s not even worth a conversation

caring about cosmetics in a video game is pretty pointless

The whole premise of the game is “hot people shoot each other sorta” combined with a weirdly out of touch street fighter attempt to be global that was never not going to be problematic, so it’s a tough position to find a character who was absolutely 100% designed as japanese “tiny evangelion pilot” first and then…

And the article goes on forever too! I stopped at the 14th paragraph because it goes on wayyyyy too long. Theres 26 paragraphs! I was somewhat interested at first, at least in how they were going to spin this, but around paragraph 7 or 8 i felt like they could have condensed some of the paragraphs together into…

I would argue that her school uniform is more reserved than her default, skin-tight leather. DVa has always been a barbie.

This is basically what I was going to say haha. I think 99.9% of people don’t give a honk, but hey, kotaku’s gotta create content everyday so they need something to write about.

I can't believe people take video game cosmetics this seriously, but here we are.
