    Tell that to games journos who rate the game by their “diversity”.

    In what games do you play as an ugly protagonist?

    Notice how gamers talking about lonely incel interests instead of shitty optimizations now days, 70$ 2023 games still getting fixed and patches until now bcz they release half baked product. but still gamers all they think about is these things. What a miserable community.

    Rubbish, I love playing an ogryn in darktide…

    I played a hollow in dark souls 3 because I had no idea it could be reversed.

    A game made by another legendary game creater Michael Zaky

    I don’t even talk about the broken barely alive husk in a robot in Armored core.

    The purpose of art is beauty. Not all games are works of art, but they should be designed to entertain.

    Making your character as ugly as possible in Elden Ring is the pvp meta. Cant fight back if you die of laughter in real life.

    People may misrepresent this but we all know what they mean.

    when youre already ugly IRL why the fuck would you want to be RePrEseNteD

    There is a lot of difference between ugly character that you made than ugly character by default

  11. TGB_Skeletor

    “Nobody wants to be forced to play as an ugly protagonist” seems more fitting

    If he had any idea about the monstrosities i made in the saints row editor…

    I mean that is not a lie. Appears and sex appeal sells and very well.

    Some might say “oh but I can make this guy looks worse” yeah but because you have the chance to do it or is a meme about it.

    And it doesn’t mean it has to be a realistic person or a over sexualized woman, it just “needs to look good”. I can’t imagine people remember Halo from seeing Master Chief without his iconic green suit or Kratos without his physique and brutality, heck, even Steve from Minecraft works.

    Not a fair comparasion but I looked at the Concord characters and said “no way anyone would have cosplay this characters even with the game would have been successful”.

    have you seen anyone play a game with a character creator? specifically later saints row games?

    I’ve been using a mod for SOTTR that gives the desexualisation of Lara Croft in the latest trilogy a good kick in the nuts. It elevates the game massively and returns Lara to the way Toby Gard originally designed her in the 90’s.

    Modern game characters definitely appear to have been designed to appeal to both sexes, and cause very little offence in the process.

  15. Perhaps the legendary game creator has never played Ark with any other humans. Or pal world. Or anything like it.

    Because we make our dudes **janky**. Every time. He ugly A.F.

    Big old green ass, long arms, giant biceps, tiny waste, short midsection, fat legs. He’s 3 foot 4 and he has C cup breasts. When he jumps, it looks like a human-chicken hybrid with a badonkadonk.

    DO THESE PEOPLE EVEN PLAY VIDEO GAMES?!

    You haven’t seen my Fallout 4 main character apparently. He looks like his face was run over by a train and then backed over with a semi.

  17. My_leg_still_hurt92

    Do be fair most people play games to escape reality?

  18. Laranthiel

    Everyone understands this except the west apparently.

  19. TheReaperAbides

    Considering he designs most of his characters like they’re in a K-pop boyband, yeah this tracks. Doesn’t mean he’s right, just means it’s his opinion. I’m sure this sub won’t run with this out of context quote in both directions, though.

    Wait till you see female druid in diablo 4. It’s gross

  21. StanMarsh_SP

    Jokes on you I’d play as Sloth from the Goonies.

  22. looseleafnz

    Wasn’t this the whole point of the Leisure Suit Larry games?

  23. HopeBudget3358

    Just look at the Dragon Age Veilguard character creator, the female body type has more of a masculine appearance with a bit of “breast”

  24. thelastofcincin

    this is true. i’m already fugly in real life, why would i want to be fugly in a video game?
