so there's some stupid fucking anime game (dragon's crown) (this is all i know about it) with big tittied ladies and people are mad about it, which is fine, and the penny arcade asshole weighs in:
It’s very weird to pull up a story about a game with frankly visionary art and hear why it shouldn’t exist, or to hear what I supposedly fantasize about, or what kind of power I supposedly revere, and any attempt to defend oneself from these psychotic projections or to assert that creators may create is evidence of a dark seed sprouting in the heart. It’s an incredible state of affairs. They’re not censors, though - oh, no no. You’ll understand it eventually; what you need to do is censor yourself.
i just... hate this guy. this like george will smugness. it enrages me.

did this go unmentioned at the time? just started playing saboteur. the free-with-purchase dlc adds... tits.

afaict it adds no 'real' game content, but makes all the burlesque showgirls topless. jfc.
― goole, Wednesday, 24 April 2013 18:25 (eleven years ago) link
yo is that game any good? i got it for like a dollar but haven't even booted it up

concept, variety of activity, mission design (so far): good!story, v/o, etc: average-to-poor. depends on your tolerance for one euro accent after another.visuals, gameplay: average for 09, pretty dated now

sorry, it also adds "new Parisian hiding spots, [and] a new minigame"
― goole, Wednesday, 24 April 2013 18:37 (eleven years ago) link
there are lots of good reasons to hate oneself, but pixelated titties? eh
― Nhex, Wednesday, 24 April 2013 19:40 (eleven years ago) link
are the new parisian hiding spots in breasts?

"dragon's crown" is pretty bad as far as the fantasy title stakes go
― the bitcoin comic (thomp), Wednesday, 24 April 2013 22:42 (eleven years ago) link
i keep trying to think of a similarly useless (fantasy noun + possessive marker + fantasy noun) name but they all end up making more sense. chimeara's sword. orc's ring. goblin's robes. wtf does a dragon even want a crown for. mb he is ruling over other dragons, nm, is there a kingdom of dragons in this game, that could rule
someone posted some of the concept art upthread but it's been occluded by the whole panda thing

so for a game that does not come out for three months there is a hell of a lot of porn of this

i mean, i imagine an adventurer would get to have some pretty major thighs going on at some point. it's kind of funny kind of sad that the artist decided to exaggerate that to the level of fetish also?

"Let's step back from the social justice aspect of this kind of artwork and deal with the fact that 9 year-old girls find it stupid. I'd love for her to see games and want to be these women, not simply recoil at the fact that they're designed for my eyes more than her power fantasies."
Wtf, this is exactly what the social justice aspect is!

i. i think this is a good case for why 'casual racism and sexism are more accepted in video games than other media' is a bad way of phrasing the argument vs. something like 'more visible in video games than other media'. -- like, having sexed-up fantasy figures turned up to such a ridic degree makes it more obvious and undeniable that something's going on, that there is a problem here that needs addressing.
ii. kind of sad compared to previous form; a couple gay girls i know thought odin sphere was really amazing w/ the fairy princess types just whaling on guys and beating the shit out of them
iii. huh, i wanna play odin sphere
