| shikamaru317 said: Does it though? There have been alot of horror movies over the years where there's a scene where a girl is taking a shower and gets scared or killed while doing so. Is a skimpy outfit really any different from those shower scenes in the long run? If anything, it might improve the horror vibe, your concentration would be on your character instead of on scanning the area ahead for potential scares, meaning you'll get surprised alot more often. BTW, pretty sure those outfits are optional, you can wear the default outfits the whole game if you want to. |
Yes it is. In those movies the shower scenes give context. In this, the lingerie goes to completely contradict the context. There's no defending that. There being a Ronald McDonald costume would just as rediculous. The fact that the costumes are optional is the problem. If the context for them wearing the lingerie was because the character was a stripper who was abducted from a strip club or she was dressing up for her boyfriend on their anniversary when something horrific happened, then there would be credibility to the outfit, and disbelief could be suspended. In reality, there is absolutely no context for why they're in lingerie explicitely because the outfits are optional, so the girls are effectively dressing like whores for the sole purpose of pandering to perverts.
There's nothing scary about that, and it's mere existance is destracting from the point and over all quality of the game, which is supposed to be to scare you.
