Far cry games should be just the open world gameplay and come with a little booklet containing the story (getting knocked on the head or getting drugged about 20 times in a row) in case someone wants it.

Heck, most games should do this.

I like donkey Kong as a smash bros character. mostly because he can pick up other characters and jump off the side, killing both characters without fail.

If your metroidvania gives me double-jump somewhere during the game, give it to me as one of the first couple upgrades, instead of forcing me to wait six months for another playthrough so that my muscle memory forgot I can double jump in this game.

Actually, if your game lets me jump, give me double-jump from the beginning.

Porn actors are real people and thus have at least some degree of agency whereas fictional characters do not which makes over sexualisation in things like anime and video games particularly egregious

I thought this was the standard opinion*. If the recruiting the getaway driver quest didnt make you understand how rockstar would develop every single one of its games from that point forward you are bad at pattern recognition.

*I actually dont remember a single song on the soundtrack and looking it up, nah, the soundtrack is fine. Some misses here and there but for attempting to capture a specific pop-art concept of an era and providing both nascent hip hop selection, a whole station of Latin jams about 2% of the playerbase had ever heard of, and some honest to goodness Michael Jackson aint bad.

That's the one where the secret is to stash a Lambo just up ahead before starting the mission. They don't let you do that in Rockstar games anymore.

Though the irony is not only does the recruitment mission render the driver redundant, but he's never actually any use in the mission itself and is scripted to die.

Dragon Quest XI is a very mediocre game that accepts the challenge of having cowardly writing for 2/3rds of the game by writing the worst last 1/3rd it can.

For some reason I remember it having lots of restrictions so cheesing it was also hyper specific, like despawning vehicles in a radius around it when you start up so theres a specific sweet spot to place the vehicle.

Either way its just miserable design and narrative and as Rockstar went they kept removing the ways to actually influence their missions. GTAIV chase missions are fascinating in their bad decisions

Cool breasts, cool impractical armor, whatever. It's the same in HBO shows, they show breasts so often not because they think it improves the story but because it's a cheap lazy way to make the show "adult". Also it's almost always women and very rarely men. Strange.

I always thought HBO did that to keep the ratings up. In GoT they always put it in between plot heavy sections. Like there's a part of their audience that's so dumb they approach the show like "ohh all this plot hurr durr boring about to turn over-oH! Tits!! now THAT'S what I like to sEE".

Default skin for all male characters is just a pair of fisherman’s pants with no underwear and they’re slipped down so you can see the pubes and just maybe the base of the dick and no shirt and also they won’t stop talking to you about frisbee golf unless you buy 50 loot boxes

Loadout had nude skins for both male and female characters. I do believe the dick jiggled but as the skin was 50 bucks and the game not popular enough to survive for long I don't think I saw it often in game.

edit: Totally did jiggle. Now obviously this link here is probably not safe for work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ok8RXUaaXBg

While I think more floppy dongs would help I think there's something to be said for moderation. Like maybe I just want to play video games.

I'm pretty sure no one here thinks that. It's simply about having more realistic characters instead of perpetuating the idea women exist for men's desires all (most of) the time every time. Of course this simple idea has been distorted to mean I'm for censorship/against breasts. All so you can have your softcore porn in your video games. Nudity isn't even generally the issue, it's the poo poo like the Everquest cover art/widowmaker/jaina breasts. Even Hearthstone actually replaced Succubus with Felstalker and Blizzard sucks. Lol the tagline for Succubus "Warlocks have it pretty good." Hilarious. At least it would maybe be mildly funny if it was such a frequent thing in games.

Every character gets both a tit AND a dick. Both of them are gigantic and floppy. You can put them wherever you want. But you only get one of each. And they are mandatory.
Are you guys happy now?

I think I've said what I've felt needed to be said and don't think continuing this discussion will accomplish anything. Well I didn't think it'd accomplish much in the first place but I don't like people trying to stick their head in the sand and pretend things don't matter because it's just a game. So don't do that if you don't want someone to call you out on it.
