Note: I didn’t have a ton of context around the IGN France thing/didn’t look very far into it because I frankly don’t take them seriously as an outlet. They aren’t an actual part of IGN, just some tiny outlet that pays for the IGN name for attention (which obviously worked out for them here). All I knew was that they said something people were mad about, and my stance is still that they’re allowed to say shit, and people are allowed to be mad about it. As far as I can tell the comment that got a lot of attention was IGN France saying whoever designed Eve has “never seen a woman” which, yeah, is so obviously an insane attention-seeking thing to say.
wait i thought conservatives were against this kind of over sexualization because jesus? isn't anime aesthetic probably more appealing to leftists because it's a representation of women expressing themselves freely and not hiding their bodies (which is something that religion despises). not saying that's what the devs have in mind, but i don't understand how the values behind this suddenly got backwards
@@oowaz Dude this whole culture war shit is dumb as hell. These people don't have real values it's all about owning the other side so it all gets twisted up and none of makes sense.
@@oowaz Honestly, either political side has arguments for both. Conservatives can hate sexiness because they believe it immodest and immoral through religious opinions, but also support sexiness because they have a prolific female sex ownership culture (save the date weddings, fathers giving permission to marry daughters, etc.) and they're excessively voyeuristic when the women they're looking at aren't their personal friends or family.
Liberals can hate sexiness because they believe women are manipulated or coerced into sexualized behaviors by individuals or the greater culture at large, but also support it when they have evidence the sexiness is entirely from the agency of the women being sexy.
@@SuperGrooby yeah but even how you describe it still just sounds like conservatives claiming their L is a W. no logical consistency
Well, I thought the main character was an unbelievable humanoid specimen, but then I found out that it’s modeled after a real person…!! I had no idea people can even look like that in real life.😮
"can confirm: she also caked up" - Thank you for doing in depth research alanah. i appreciate it.
The editing at the end with the slow zoom and commentary is absolutely hilarious 😂 👏👏👏
That slow zoom deserves a slow clap.
The webcam dying was a bit of brilliance. Had difficulty focusing on what Alana was saying because I was laughing so hard
Counterpoint: I enjoy more... grounded characters a bit more and hyperattractive characters in shiny/glossy skintigth outfits in video games can be an early indicator that the world building won't be super compelling. Every single character in a world being super hot is just kind of weird. Where are the normies? (e.g. Witcher 3 has a hot main cast but you also have ugly peasants spitting at your feet) And of course, there's the suspension of disbelief. Like, when the female version of the same armor is just boob-armor and looks like it couldn't possibly protect anything, that can be annoying for me.
Like, I'm not prude at all and I happily and frequently watch pr0*n on the internet to jank the noodle. But I don't need "super-sexy character" in every single media I consume. Like in the case of Stellar Blade, it doesn't really affect me because I don't care for the game anyway because story & characters being bland is a bit of a deal breaker for me. But I honestly, when I watched the first trailers years ago I was already thinking "I have my doubts about these characters being part of a well-crafted and compelling narrative.". On the bright side, I'm looking forward to the ... uh... fanmade videos of the stellar blade character by the same people who so expertly make overwatch "fan-videos", if you catch my drift. 😏
But I also found the discussion about Aloy in Horizon: Forbidden West really wild, because some people were upset that she isn't atractive enough. Or that protagonist from the new Ubisoft Star Wars game not looking hot enough. That game will have SO MANY actual issues, so the main charachter "not being to the taste of every horny male on earth" is just an absurd complaint to me.
That's some Blizzard-character level of ass.
There is a very big issue with a lack of nuance in debate and discourse these days.
The black and white, pass / fail mindset that many tend to have is exhausting.
If it was just black/white, pass/fail, I feel that would be an improvement to what it is.
In discourse these days, there's an underlying _effort_ to take what is said, misunderstand it, and get offended by that new "claim".
Not too long ago, I commented "a guy who doesn't groom himself at all will probably have a beard", and someone decided that must mean "if a guy has a beard, that means he doesn't groom himself at all", and got offended - despite the fact that that was not at all what I said.
I also feel like that the "balanced" nuance is completely gone. People are stuck within one direction but can't go the middle, rational path.
@@hyperturbotechnomikeYES. Was struggling to find the words to say exactly that.
With a pinch of wasted energy raging about inconsequential topics. Plenty of music in the past has made it as far as goverment hearings on it's decency. I always think; if you hate the material so much why are you focused on it so much?
It's at a point where people get upset if you have any nuance in your answer, when asked about YOUR opinion. I was informed I was a "Fake Fan" for saying I lliked the Fallout series on Prime, but I had issues with some of the pacing, and the way the Brotherhood camp was shown to be... But that I was willing to give it a chance, as I haven't finished the season yet.
I went down a rabbit hole based on the question about female anatomy in space and I have found an answer from a real astronaut; yes they float as do male bits unless held down by clothing. I was actually stunned by how easy this was to find and more importantly by how seriously this question was asked and answered.
Thank you. I was affraid i would not have the answer for a lot longer.
I will never be able to keep a straight face when watching astronauts now
Space folks have looked into allll these kind of questions. One of the time legit necessary science happens to be super fun
I draw the line when articles criticize the people who like the product instead of the actual product they are reviewing.
Definitely agree. This is extremely rare tho.
I think people imagine it is attacking them personally when it does not. Fandoms become so attached to a product that when you criticize it they think you are criticizing them too.
@@charalanahzard try The Gamer, you'll find plenty of that
@@charalanahzard yeah? How about that Hogwarts? Or several other indy games that have come out where articles from Kotaku, IGN, Paragon, and others have used it to trash the people that like the game as opposed to anything to do with the game itself (other than in Hogwart's case, its affiliation with THE ACTUAL CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE).
"As a human who, presumably, cares about a functioning society" should be on your merch
I don't know... you start having functioning societies, and diversity of opinions and, before you realize, you catch a democracy. Shudder.
@@ferranferran6955 therein is the problem. Those that think like IGN can't stand others having a different opinion than them. They are instantly labeled an incel istaphobe if they have a different opinion than IGN. Even the game director's wife who was the character artist who developed Eve herself. Alana is just a hypocrite in saying "IGN is allowed to trash and their editors make death threats against those that don't think like them." But gets pissy when that other side returns the favor. If there is one thing Alana is very, very good at, it's being a massive hypocrite. Hell, we have a new "urinalist" by the name of Ryan Easby who writes for PC Gamer, etc, who has said that people like Mark Kern (a founding board member of Blizzard/ Activision and one of the original lead developers for WoW) should never know another moment of peace in that man's life. Kern's mistake? Disagreeing with Easby's stance on games. Again, pointing out that Alana is NOTHING if not a massive hypocrite.
The alternative in American are Bible-bashing, racist, backwards racists who make political promises but promote riots instead @@ferranferran6955
Humans care about a functioning society but are unwilling to participate in one.

I like my videogame characters hot regardless of their gender
Ya, not gay but if the lass is super hot I'm expecting an 8 abbed dude.
Same. Who want’s to be running around as Colin Robinson from WWDITS?
Right. Like this is a sci fi fantasy game. Of course characters will be hot and like a model. This isn't a gritty realish game like let's say The Last of Us where characters are more real to life. That's not what Stellar Blade is going for 😆
i see you are a person of culture
Same. But there's nothing wrong if they're not.
The way you sold that mouse pad LOL
I am intrigued by this "Boob Wars" concept. Perhaps the premise for a new cinematic universe?
Ya, and it takes place on Boob World too!
It's not a boob war but I remembered for no particular reason the movie A Nymphoid Barbarian in Dinosaur Hell.
Previously, on Boob Wars
I'm sure there's an anime covering that. Keijo?
Boob Wars is a concept that Flashgitz would take on. Similar to their previous videos like the Console Wars
These types of discourse or so dumb. Last year we got Baldur's Gate 3! Full nudity and sex in games with damn good story and characters to boot. People can like and dislike whatever they want, but when you're telling someone what they can and can't like, you're wrong.
The difference between the sexuality of Baldurs Gate 3 and Stellar Blade is that the former has a "queer ascetic" while the later appeals to the male gaze. Safe Horny is a concept that would apply here.
There were still complaints about it having queer romance and people of color in it. Luckily it came out before the DEI crusade. We’d never hear the end of it.
@jehuty1122Woah woah woahhhh thereeee partner. Looks like you forgot a major detail.... It had sex....with animals.... Bro you left that part out.
Where is the outrage!?
@jehuty1122next thing you’ll say is their censoring actors in tv shows for wearing clothes, so you want to watch every show with a person not wearing clothes? Is that censoring? Or just normal lol.
@jehuty1122 - Cool story NPC.
OMG the timing of the Hello Fresh ad was sublime! lol. Thank you for that, and thank you to Hello Fresh! :)
The most tired conversation in gaming atm. Can we all agree?
tbh yes
Absolutely yes
It’s borderline pathetic on each angle people see this game at. I simply was interested in the game 2 years ago lol didn’t know it was gonna be this deep of a talk.
I suppose it's tired for those that don't mind what's being done to most female characters in western games, but yeah, it definitely is all so tiresome, lolol
Yep! Remember when Video Games used to be fun? (Kidding a bit of course) But yeah it got old the minute a bunch of Basement Dwelling non Grass touching Incel losers started started whining about it...
Sydney Sweeney for Stellar Blade 2: Electric Boobaloo has got my vote.
God, please no. I'm already so tired.
The original model was dope gorgeous.
She uggos.

@@92Niceneasytired of what?
thank you so much for this video! it is awesome and you did a great job on it!
The editor's notes for the frozen webcam is so good! Got a good chuckle out of me.
This has pretty much been my exact take, like forever. I’m really happy to hear someone with an audience saying as much, cause I think it needs to be said. Thank you!
Shes ignoring a lot of nuances surrounding that topic tho
wait the fact that you can wear different outfits without a paywall is so sick, im definitely gonna pick the crazy snazzy and classy clothes on her
Kappa
I mean, do you only play live service games? Almost every single player game I play as different outfits that don’t cost real life money, you acting like thats a crazy implementation lol.
@@ronthorn3 In many games, that is the reality unfortunately. Especially titles which aren't single-player.
This is actually sad that it's something to look forward to. Not a criticism of you, more so of the industry...
You think having no paywall in a single player full priced PS5 game is incredible?
Fucking low standards you have lmao.
Thank you for this video. It really summed up how I have been feeling playing games these days. Or just watching anything. This channel has always felt like a safe chill place where we can talk about video games away from all the noise.
Great video and great commentary. Thanks Alanah.
I literally laugh out loud at the mouse pad.
Need a control version for cs2
The only issue I had with the IGN France article was that they specifically attacked the devs for Eve's design, if they don't like the design thats fine, but saying that the devs have never touched a real woman is a bit over the top.
I agree IGN France were totally unprofessional ! Alanah you cant condone this behaviour ?
She either didn't get yhe point, or chose to misrepresent the criticism.
She seemed to gloss right over that.... Interesting 🤔
@@dalazul9711Alanah is clearly a slave to the American Leftist ideology. Any major PlayStation and videogames fan will now that PlayStations best studios are infested with the trump era leftist and liberal agenda pushing crazies especially Santa Monica, ND and Insomniac. We need these people to stop pushing that agenda and start making fun games that make us smile.
@@34turnerjason anything political shes too biased for but overall she is one of the few journalist in games who cares about games and doesn't hate fans
I loved this so much! Great take and opinion about this situation!
always asking the important questions and I'm here for it!
A useful thesis: discourse is so important to this hobby that we all love, and social media is where that discourse goes to die.
Today's politics feel like a bad joke or are just weird, this is why i stay clear of most topics and discussions. I also don't really use social media, since most of it is obnoxious. It's better for mental health too to avoid social media and doom scrolling.
It's not a hobby when so-called "Gamers" centre their whole personality around playing video games like manchildren.
god this just reminds me why i dont check social media this shit is so stupid and needlessly politized
YOUR MOUSE PAD!!!🤣 Freaking awesome!
Inspired viewpoint, and great insight into the cosplay angle, didn't think about that. Thank you. Also, great editing. Love the details.
I never experienced people that are complaining about cosplayers being the SAME people that post online against censorship. I dont know where she made that up
Anger is a hobby for some people nowadays and social media amplifies their negativity.
We heard similar things about Lara Croft back in tge day but there wasnt a forum for people to engage in faux outrage.
Sad life

Wrong, people hate the new lara croft for being too "woke" but ok
@@user-hq3nc4bp5w I was referring to 1996 Lara discourse
@@watching_events447 you wrote "back in *tge* day" and that threw them off lol
Been watching adult films since I was a teenager. It’s going to take more than Eve’s character design to get a reaction from me.
I read "get an erection"
Adult films = porn, do you mean that or 18 rated?.
He means porn. Also known as “a man of culture” a gooner, or part of the goon squad charging up the J.O. Crystals.
@9:20-10:41 is so real
Also the neverending zoom-in is killing me 😭
Wrist support is important when you're twiddling your mouse
Finally, finally some one mentioned all cosmetics are included as complete package. My goodness, I thought I'm the only person notice it on earth.
She's not the first.
The ending slow pan made me think they absolutely must be building those armored (?) pants around her before each mission
Thanks Alanah now " Is there a cup size limit on the ISS ?" Is part of my search history 😂
The thing I learned early on in my life on the internet is 99% of the worlds population are hypocites lol, so people attacking you for dressing like that while also championing Eve in Stellar Blade are just normal internet users unfortunately
the key is control: body positivity and empowerment is bad. look at the outrage over the streamer amouranth; calling her a hypocrite because she continued doing the same thing she did under her manager/boyfriend. she took control of her own life and was hated for it.
The zoom in to “nice!” Took me out 😂
I was at GDC awards and saw you present and I have to say, the dress was breathtaking. What was also amazing was your presentation. You’re a natural, which is why you are where you are. I was really happy to see such a talented Aussie MCing.
I am french, and here our local IGN branch journalist went nuts, honestly, I am starting to worry because this kind of craziness was something which happened in the US and we used to make jokes about the mad yanks.
But the same kind of political infighting has caught up here, from the universities to video game discussions.
12:19 "I liked it butt"
I can't breath at the zoom in.
@@JosiahBradley I kind of started to lose track of what she was saying because Hypnotized.
I hadn’t thought about the hypocrisy. Given the example of Nier, the same people praising Nier’s obviously horny character design will relentlessly mock a real-life girl who dresses up in a bikini and white wig and calls it a 2B cosplay. It’s stupid.
Bingo. They're trying to break the traditional aesthetic and replace it with their own degeneracy.
I'd like to see your source where these people who "praised 2B" are mocking real life girl who cosplayed 2B, because I call BS on that one.
@@ryantheanimator1156 Yeah, I'd also like to see Alanahs source for why she thinks that the same people praising female game characters being attractive are criticizing her for wearing the rather flattering dress. It just doesn't make sense to me why anyone would think that.
@@ryantheanimator1156 it's on Kotaku. Maybe try paying attention
@@ryantheanimator1156 my posts keep getting deleted but there’s literally a post on r/nier posted today that illustrates exactly what Alanah is talking about. And it’s a pretty common thing over there. You and I both know that most people didn’t pick up a Nier game because of the story 🤣. They may have stuck with it for the story, and most people probably won’t admit it, but Kaine being in lingerie and 2B climbing ladders after “self destruct mode” and having more polygons in her ass than the whole Toy Story movie are going to be what drove the majority of sales.
Not the Ken burns style zoom in on the butt 😂
The end portion of this video cracked me up 😂
the "thicccccccccccccccc" got me choking on water jajajajajajaj
We can all appreciate that CAKE though!
Hey I'm glad I subscribed to this channel!
I really value your more reflected takes on controversies. Thank you for sharing them
IGN France (journalist in general) can write dumb opinions as much as they want and then people should be allowed to criticize them into the ground all they want.
Definitely, yes.
@@charalanahzardto be fair though the Franchise article personally attack the Shift Up CEO saying he has never seen a real woman which was way out of line
@@marvinp90 But also, it's not like they were making a formal statement in a court of law, was it. It's a throwaway casual insult. Not too dramatic.
@@johnnypopstar Except they are trying to be an actual journalistic organization not some twitter trolls.
Yeah I didn’t put emphasis on it because, even when overhearing there was some controversy, I know IGN France is a tiny website that isn’t even associated with IGN itself, they just bought the name. Basically just giving one random dude wayyyyy too much attention.
Can agree. Everyone is talking about a non nude female character in an asian power fantasy game while the industry suffers thousands of layoffs, steam's flooded with bitcoin and nft scams under the hood and games are bordering on 150 usd up front cost. Personally i think she looks just cool, same as my Dragon's dogma female char that is bordering on looking like an armored up space marine. And more power to characters like bayonetta, 2b, abby and ellie as long as they fit their world and vibe
This take, takes the cake. 🎂 Well said, Alanah.
Its videos like this that remind how much I love all of Alanah's content 🤣
The overall trend you seem to be describing is that, in general, people are saying "Give me what I want, and don't let the other person have what they want, 'cause... reasons", and it's happening a lot.
Also "Like the the I like, but only for the reasons I like them."
My feed just got bombarded with the hot new fresh controversy with this game. Evidently an outfit got censored, maybe, possibly, not sure but these channels sure are sure.
Honestly the drama of this game will make my feed so much cleaner and brainrot free after selecting the “don’t recommend this channel” option. I thought I got the Geeks and Gamer-like channels out of my feed but I underestimated how many there are.
So odd that all the channels soiling their diapers over this game have basically the same thumbnails.
It was the same with Rebirth, but they got quiet real fast after they realized the “censorship” they were screaming about was on a 15 year old tifa and underage yuffie. Yikes.
that last minute is the best thing I've ever seen on RUclips
People angry are probably the development team of star wars outlaws
This is the content I subscribe for.
The only problem I had with the IGN France piece was that the author didn't have the journalistic integrity to google the game for 5 minutes to know that the character is based on a 3D scan of an actual IRL Korean model. Even if the in-game model was "augmented", saying that it is "A Doll Sexualized By Someone Who Has Never Seen A Woman" is so disrespectful for the model.
I mean who cares either way. It’s a stupid nothing burger of an article. You got scammed into getting angry.
I mean who google litteraly every single female character if she's based on a real person. She's a doll sexualized, let's not pretend that game didn't market her as this, but the ''Who Has Never Seen A Woman" was unprofessional. With this logic every developper never have Never Seen A Woman or Men
@@Jfray252 Well, if you are writing an article about a specific female character and are going to assert, within that article, that that specific female character isn't based on a real person....the first thing you should probably do is google to see if that specific female character is based on a real person or not...I believe they call that something like 'journalistic integrity' .👍
The IGN France writer was terrible form and the EIC defending it was even more bad. That was just lack of professional overall.
@@ronthorn3 It's called journalistic integrity. Something that happens when researching a story, wait that didn't happen.
Love the commentary as usual. It needed to be said.
when screens freeze, she makes that bug a feature!
I think most criticism about the IGN France article was not the opinion on Eve's assets(;P), but rather their insults of the developer, or CEO of Shift Up. Something along the lines of him having never seen a real woman.
The problem is if you look into both sides arguments points in detail there are legitimate stuff that is worth discussing but this culture war has cause both sides to be so defensive that it is hard to get a legitimate point across not to mention the bad apples
AD HOMINEM
Side note i think people were mad at french ign because the insulted the dev not just eves body
the notes added to the still frame after the cam froze was great, it's too bad that one of the notes were covered by the thumbnail of one of the next videos to watch that get automatically added to the end so I can't know what Alanah was trying to say about pants
the slow zoom at the end was priceless.
The greatest thing I ever did for my mental health was get off Twitter and Reddit and Facebook so I never have to see those weirdo's complain about culture war stuff that they don't actually care about but feel the need to make it everyone's problem. And yes I'm talking mostly about conservatives.
oh you should also delete youtube, twitch, and block kotaku and ign otherwise you are never gonna know peace

The IGN review most people are criticizing is the salty RUclips review. And thee reason the France IGN article got backlash, and made them apologize, is because they insulted the developer and the developer's wife.
The youtube review from ign is not even salty.
@@nsomjimi
It is. IGN made an ass of themeselves when their French branch insulted the Korean model, creator and his wife. Then they had to backpedal and then apologize after the crew and his wife were shown as well as the model Eve was scanned from.
7 is what IGN gives a game when they don't like it but want to keep credibility with the gaming community who love it. If they gave it a score they actually wanted then they would lose too much confidence with the gaming community.
@@level9drow856 did you even watch the review? They gave 7 (it's still a good score) because of the game having shallow story and characters (even SkillUp criticised these things) but they also praise the game for having engaging combat, good enemy variety and many unlockables costumes. It's a reasonable score from them based on their review, an action game with good and engaging combat but with shallow story and characters. So tell me again how is it salty for pointing out a game's shortcoming?
@@nsomjimi
I did, I watched the whole review. You have to take it into context, as explained above. I've already explained.
@@level9drow856 This "context" is just projection though. "7 is what IGN gives a game..." is made up nonsense that exists in your head. 7 is OBJECTIVELY a "good" score, and docking a few points for weak story/weak characterisation (especially when the game is almost begging parallels to be drawn with NieR: Automata) is totally legitimate.
You are literally tilting at windmills.
I honestly rather have people obsessed with this video game vs actually bugging women in real life.
Bro... Why you making me pause go back and read that. You absolutely know I cannot just let that go and have to go check 🤣
The best part of the demo (that is all I played) is the hair physics! I spent hours of the demo simply running around in circles, zig-zags and up and down places just to experience the sublime hair physics. I am fascinated by how they ostensibly managed to apply physics to each strand of hair as opposed to a bunch of hair acting as one, single asset (if that makes sense).
Thanks for these videos, as a gamer that makes the point of not following news and what "the community" is talking about it's *really* fun to listen to a sane person summarizing what "chronically online people" are hating and why they are stupid for doing it 😁I played the SB demo and it was entertaining, the visuals are pretty and the combat has potential to be fun even if the story may be shallow.

It's not fair, I didn't even listen to what you were saying after 11:43, I was lost for some reason.
Jokes apart, I don't think there are only two scores for majority 0 or 10, it's just nowadays people think anything below 8 makes it a mid or a bad game. Most Stellar Blade fans are actually okay with 8/10 scores. And now that we have metacritic, since low scores drag down the meta scores, fans are even more concerned. Video game scores are really hard to grasp, that is why the most rational way to look at it is to accept that it is just reviewers opinion and let's respect him/her opinion. We all know that's not what happens though
Reporting for duty 🫡
That sponsor transition though ahhahahaha
I love your nuanced takes on things.
There is a reason why many of the famous mods for games like skyrim, fallout, and Cyberpunk 2077 are ones that increase or customize body and breast sizes!
a very stupid reason but a reason nonetheless
i just WISH when i search up stellar blade to see content i’m not bombarded by videos and articles supposedly calling out woke people cause they don’t like the game… they don’t even realize they’re just as annoying as the woke people they’re making fun of
You had me at Let's talk.
You nailed it. Couldn't agree more with your attitude. Which, by the way, is an excellent one.
Absolutely agree with this. People need to chill. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Especially reviewers, whose entire job can be boiled down to "opinion-giver"
Don't think anyone but the rabid culture war havers on Twitter are doing any of that. But that happens for any topic. Stellar blade is just a stray bullet from all the sweet baby stuff a few months ago. If anything an inverse. A sour baby if you will
I swear that lately I start hearing about controversy more as a couter-argument to an opinion that no one has expressed yet. I think it sort of reveals that the people who think this game is anti-woke don't know what "woke" is and also just have the worst takes just as a provocation to basically no one. Personally, the first stuff I saw about this game made it seem really generic, not in a "hot babes means bad game" way, but more in a "this seems like a pastiche of ideas that were better executed in other games" way.
“If they’re there, and they’re on somebody naturally”. I think you’re going to catch hands for that one… good luck. Amazing commentary.
"I was reading a bunch of subreddits"
Ah, there's your problem.
You crack me up, Alanah. Thank you for being level headed and "normal" in this increasingly political world.
My issue with the France Ign artical is that they unwarently attacked specific individuals on the dev team.
love the great wrist support... priceless...
I do agree people should agree to disagree lol my issue is that people are saying she has no personality when she’s literally super kind hearted and caring and is ready to help people in need. She’s says in the game “I don’t need a reason to help people” she’s a great character reminiscent of Nausica from the ghibli film. Characters call her an angel in the game because of what she is and she proves with her actions that they are correct.
Don't talk about her personality.
To some people (not saying i agree or disagree with them) that is no personality, or rather it's lack of depth. It has nothing to do with her in particular, but it happens with a lot of boy/girl scout characters. Take superman especially when compared to someone like batman, for the longest time superman was called boring in comics because most of the time he was just "good for goodness sake". There are people who want characters to do good things, but to also have an edge or a drive to them.
Yeah, but that’s a one note personality. If you have no interesting flaws or struggles to balance out that nice nature… guess what? That’s a one dimensional character.
And good hearted characters don’t have to be one-note either. Let’s take Ichiban for example, everyone loves him, I know I do! He’s loveable, kind-hearted, optimistic, and he always tries to do the right thing. But he’s also an idiot, he doesn’t take things as seriously as he should, and he’s definitely in over his head. These flaws balance out with his more positive traits to create an interesting character, regardless of either or not they’re nice.
A short list of 'heroic' character traits is not a personality, cripes your standards are on the floor.
@@Eunostos chill it’s also okay if characters are meh. There’s a big gulf between atrocious and all time good. Especially if in this case Eve is more of an avatar. Nothing particularly interesting but nothing hypocritical or badly written. Just neutral
It is crazy that people will invest all this time and money making a beautiful game and then decide the characters be bland or down right ugly. Why this is even a conversation is crazy and goes to show how crazy social media has made us that people don’t even know how to run their businesses anymore
Oh Alanah, you're such a breath of fresh air, thank you
1:19 to 1:47 is so random and hilarious it really made me LOL😂🤣this is standup material!
Why do people act like 7 is a bad review now anyways? Not everyone likes the same stuff, I could give something a 10 and it’s a 6 for someone else. Numbers don’t really mean anything anyways. The biggest critique I’ve seen of this game is the story and characters, even from people who loved it. Nothing wrong with having flaws. Every game has its flaws. And sometimes they are different for each reviewer.
As a journalist, my jaw dropped to the floor when IGN France’s chief editor stated that EVE, the main character, does not represent a “real woman,” but the model was based on, well.. a real woman. He also noted that the model looked like a "doll" and that the creators had "never seen a real woman." The comment was highly offensive as it insulted the creator's wife and illustrated a lack of professionalism on his part.
While IGN stated that the media outlet is an independent branch, the company had to apologize nonetheless.
Then they tried to say it was mistranslated but french speaking people said it wasnt
The base body model is a real woman. The face is not, nor the jiggle physics.
Not that i care about her looking like a doll, i think EVE is beautiful, but if you look at the model and her face and then look at EVE they do not look even slightly the same and to suggest so is actually hilarious. EVE' face look like a doll made in a video game engine. Again i thinks shes beautiful, but representative of the model shes based on she is not in my opinion. There are other characters in the game that look more like Shin Jae Eun(The model) than EVE does hahahahaha
@@HuginMunin Actually real life does indeed...jiggle. In fact it's usually proof of..."authenticity" in most cases.
@@Sombrek Eve's body was based on the model, not the face.
