let's be real here you fake gamers bringing this up are only doing it cause the gaming looking so good has triggered you 90% of you just need a reason to shit on it cause its not on your preferred platform
for years our people had to deal with flat ass Nate Drake from uncharted… joking but it’s true.To be fair, if someone likes attractive women then they probably would want to see more of them, not less.
Do we have modern games with attractive dudes?
I don't think people are upset that Horizon isn't the kind of material that you can wave your spam javelin at.
I think there is a sense that behind the scenes some publishers and developers are making an conscious effort to ensure that their female characters cannot possible be accused of being designed for "the assumed straight male gamer". That's what might annoy people.
They also messed up with the FOV,At least we don't have a Halo Infinite mess on our hands. A few tweaks to the cheeks/jawline and everything would be fine.
Hey Guerilla Games - I will consult for FREE. Just shoot me a message.
Oh that that is true. I’ve learn that on school!They also messed up with the FOV,
That picture of Aloy was from someone's pov,They also messed up with the FOV,
The design isn't that horrific and you won't see her face for 80% of the game.Honestly, this character design is enough of a reason for me to ignore this game and not buy it.
Oh come on now…Honestly, this character design is enough of a reason for me to ignore this game and not buy it.
Oh come on now…
Because Sony charged £50 for the game.
Thank god for the huge decline in sales. May all future Sony sales suffer!
Xbox destroyed the PS2 in graphics.
Even the GameCube was stronger.
Scratch that, call Phil and tell him to unlock the secret dGPU of the Xbox!
The person's eyes are still treated like a camera lens.That picture of Aloy was from someone's pov,
Second picture is actually so beautiful and naturally looking without "oversexualizing" or whatever this idiots say about female characters in games. What a clown world we live in today.Sony hire this man!
Bro nice faceswap you did with yourself and Aloy. What app did you use I wanna make one for my AVI too.In trend with Sony's ugly female protagonist narrative.
Yeah that's why you wont buy it I'm sure lmfaooHonestly, this character design is enough of a reason for me to ignore this game and not buy it.
Aloy looks like a dude.The design isn't that horrific and you won't see her face for 80% of the game.
Are you inferring I'm an Xbox fanboy?

Absolutely nothing wrong with the first post. The prices for PS5 games are obscene.
Second post is factually correct
Third post was sarcasm
But great to see you have so much time on your hand that you are happy to dissect my post history with a microscope. Great job buddy.
Ok, so your quote was implying I was saying… mmmh what ?no need for a microscope these were all in the 1st and 2nd page took me 1 min
Yep, I agree. I think I'm saying the same thing, basically.Again, you're conflating how we should treat and judge people in real life, versus how we should view fictional characters in art. Those two aren't the same thing. It's perfectly fine to want an attractive lead for a game or a movie, while understanding you shouldn't judge people for being unattractive in real life.
Of course, even in real life, you are absolutely going to discriminate when it comes to something like choosing a partner, and that's obviously not shallow at all because it's merely an acknowledgement of what you find attractive or desirable, which as you admit is hard-wired. That's not some failing that needs to be overcome.
This whole movement in art, though, is coming from an ideological, deeply insecure feminist perspective that tries to subvert aesthetics, beauty and taste. "Seeing beautiful people makes me feel threatened and not good enough. Art is discriminating against me by having beautiful people in it. Let's make characters more plain so they more closely resemble normal women." Or the whole stupid "male gaze" thing, because God forbid a male looks at the screen and appreciates a beautiful, sexy or attractive woman. It's all nonsense.

There isn't any nuance when it comes to subjectivity or objectivity. It's either subjective or it isn't. Nothing is 'off' about Aloy. I'm not belittling your preferences either, I'm discarding its relevancy in its entirety.
They are, in an extremely cowardly, thinly-veiled way - snarkily comparing Aloy to JRPG females as if the latter is more palatable by the sole virtue of their explicit, licentious appearances. Tell me, did GoT's Jin Sakai get any threads like this because he wasn't some bewitching Greek adonis like Mass Effect's protagonist or some husky, grizzled hunk like Geralt? We never begrudge male protagonists for not being hot, but it's always a problem for females. It's disgusting.
No, the face isn't as important as the writing. I won't argue that a conventionally pretty face hooks some players in - as is evident from this thread - but for the retention of that interest, good writing is dozens of times more important. No one liked Rey's character from Star Wars, despite her more-than-good looks.
Over the blatant misogyny in this thread? Sure. I'm not afraid to admit that.
First of all it's a freaking video game she does look off, she's a made-up character and people are joking about it.Jesus fuck, this thread is legitimately disgusting. The forced beauty standards are making me puke; it was the same ordeal as with Returnal. Just because the protagonist isn't your run-of-the-mill slut clad in spandex doesn't mean her standing as a character should suffer in any way shape or form. There are more pressing and important methods for a character to endear themselves to the player, the most prominent being the quality of writing. Are you guys weeping over the fact that Aloy doesn't meet your inequitable standards of beauty because your fear the lack of coom material on rule34? Grow the fuck up. She looks absolutely fine, and picking out the most uncharitable of frames to denigrate her doesn't serve your concerns at all. The funny thing is, I never saw any complaints about Ghost of Tsushima's Jin Sakai failing to fulfill the pretty boy aesthetic, but when it concerns a female, it suddenly becomes an issue
Sigh. You never disappoint internet.
May I suggest getting a real life sexual partner so you dont have to complain about not being able to fap to a female videogame character.
Jesus fucking christ people.
Yes its ok wanting to play or look at attractive characters, but some people are going way over the fucking line with their opinions. But yeah sure, dont play the game because you dont like her jaw line. To each their own.
Pretty crazy you compare women game characters directly to strippers. At least you’re honest I guess.Because we are paying $$$. imagine going to a strip club and the manager tells you that if you don't pay $500 for this fat ugly one arm 60 year old woman to dance on your lap then you are immature and sexist and should just go jerk off to porn instead.
I don't understand they they scrapped the original beautiful design.

You mean this one?
Simple answer: because she looks like a feminine woman and they wanted a strong woman, also they think strong= masculinity so they made her look like a man.
I pay money to enjoy both of them so they are the same to me
Metabolism doesn't make you eat too much.Aloy looks like she has aged a little from the first game. It's a sad fact, GAF, that most of us began adding a bit of weight after the age of 20. Some start even earlier than that. Metabolism slows. Aloy has simply aged a little and her face rounded out. It's not an odd shape. Her hair just isn't masking it because she has it tied back.
I personally don't like the tied back hair look on women but whatever.
Howard Johnson is Right!
What the fuk is this? Who wants to play a fatty like that in a game?
WTF is this? What's your point exactly?Original: https://www.neogaf.com/threads/lara-looks-a-bit-off.1465811/
