So the character is designed to be a caricature?

fancy way to say by popular opinion...yeah, I took Latin way back in high school, too

This is a discussion of quality, so argument ad populum is still invalid. The original presented arguments are those of build quality, style, features, and purpose. A vote is proof of none of these, and does not hold any weight in this discussion. You want to participate intelligently in this discussion? Probably…

There's a great site called Legends of Localization, where Clyde "Tomato" Mandelin—best known for leading the Mother 3 translation project—writes all sorts of fascinating things about game localization. He's also got some great breakdowns of the changes made when Japanese publishers bring their games to U.S. shores.

An appeal to popularity is not proof of quality. In fact, an appeal to popularity is a logical fallacy.

The cornea is missing, therefore the model is incorrect. This is obviously a result of light refraction off the cornea. Furthermore, the pit is anatomically wrong.

Well, there goes any disbelief I had about the uncanny valley. It certainly exists, but the types of flaws it highlights aren't exactly hard to avoid, like those pits for pupils.

I don't think people are really stupid. I think you are really stupid. You can accuse all you want of whatever imaginary tropes of argument you're so accustomed to seeing, but the fact of the matter is that, as a rape victim, I'd rather speak for myself than have someone borrow my experience to speak for me. You,…

I figure you'd appreciate this, assuming you haven't seen it already:

You see?

I'm sorry, but...

I think a better way to handle this issue would simply be to allow the player to choose how "voluptuous" their characters bodies are. I mean, Whoremaker 9000 as a character editor might draw some criticism, but it puts the responsibility of being responsible in the players' hands, not the developers'.

Is this the real Canada? Because I thought this was the Canada we made hockey and talkin' aboot jokes about and everyone knew it didn't really exist and we were just being coy.

I just feel feature-bloat can be a feature as long as nothing is absolutely required that doesn't need to be. Gameplay and storyline are just as important to me as the other, so if skipping gameplay sections is a "cancer", skipping dialog scenes should be, too.

I know, right. Add to the fact that emulators have had a speed-up button since at least ZSNES (that I'm aware), and its hardly like this is a new request.

Honestly, reading through all this, the biggest issue I'm seeing, technically speaking, is the "choose your own adventure"-style relationships they intend to implement. There is a reason who is a companion and who isn't in games is pretty set in stone. What looks like a simple forked path in this style of writing is a…

Oh, yeah, the girl who wanted a fast forward button in games.

Straw Hat arguing with Straw Man. How fitting.

I never claimed to represent all rape victims. I claimed to represent one: Myself. *I* found the joke harmless. You, however, at your own judgement, decided that, because I stated I was a rape victim, that I was worth shitting on. So yes, you shit on me, and because of that, you're an asshole, shitting on a rape…

You, sir, are an asshole. I am glad someone so privileged as you can paint such an ugly picture of what it means to be an idiot who hasn't the slightest grip on how to draw a comparison. Here, let me shove a dick up your ass and then let some virgin tell the world how it felt for you.
