Do you disagree with that possibility? I seem to recall you mentioning that you worry when games have ugly characters that the games are focussing more on "woke" things than making a good game. Seems obvious to me that you could also focus too much on making your characters hot (like the development of boob physics in DOA) to the detriment of other parts of the game being ignored. |
I suppose that vould be true but at least it isn't this ham fisted horrible modern nonsense that goes into the games. With FF14 they really give the players what they want (not that I'm into this, I' not and I kinda hate it tbh) with these cat girls and cat guys and new races like that with specified gear and cosmetics, yeah sure that can take resources away from other parts of the game but it would make the game a lot lesser for those gamers who pay for the game and love it but they give in other ways across the game too and make a high quality product. It tends to be the case more often than not that this is in itself a sign that the studio is going to make a solid product and across the board give their audience what the audience wants. I find this to be the case more often than not, much of the stuff I'm not into and stay clear of it's also the case like Genshin Impact, The Last Decendant, Black Desert Online and so on.
The same can be said about VG or Dragons Dogma 2, they made these insanely robust character creators with loads of resources thrown at it but you can't make a womanly woman and only a Dad version of a manly man. No athletic bodies, no insanely defined bodies like Geralt in TW3 where that game is so long and has so much vontent you may never think it will end but they managed to make plenty of cosmetic options for the player dress up Geralt to their liking. Perhaps that's a bad example, I was left wanting for more laid back non armour gear in TW3 actually. Let's say, Stellar Blade, unbelievable amounts of ompletely optional gear for the sexy lass, like 80 outfits at launch and still they made a fully featured, masterclass action game.
