Never noticed the tomb raider stuff. Honestly just chalked it up to "yeah, I'd probably grunt and moan too, after hitting the ground after falling from a zip line" seemed realistic to me 🤷🏻♂️
@@synopticgiant1573 what the dude is trying to say is this the moaning and groaning in the game sound like she's having a great time in bed and a lot of people outside of the video range will hear that and not what is on screen it's just stupid horny idiots don't get the just of it while you're playing the game to you it seems natural because of what's on screen turn the game on look away from the screen and see what your mind comes up with it's called having a dirty mind
@@maineman5757 I would be concerned about anyone that watches a main character grunt and moan while falling, hitting obstacles or nearly drowning, and associating that with sexual arousal
The Tomb Raider one is a really weird take for me. Played it again a couple months ago and never noticed her grunting or "moaning" as weird cause...well she's constantly in really exhausting situations. Y'all would be grunting too if you had to deal with what Lara has to deal with. 🗿
I think it's probably different if you play around other people. I also didn't notice, probably because all the moans and grunts and stuff make sense in context, anyone would be making noises in those situations, but if someone else overhears from the kitchen, they might jump to conclusions.
What in the hell was that Tomb Raider take? Look mate, if you're getting a stiffy from the audio of all things in a Tomb Raider game then that sounds like a you problem.
@@poolhalljunkie9 the look up the skirt trophy yeah that one was hilarious I tried to get a platinum for the game I only need one more trophy and then I'm done I played it like six times it's a really fun game I got both endings
@@TheIndepententCraftyGamer I wouldn't say it's like the best game but it is a fun zombie game I just wish they would have put more into the character than just what they did but don't take my word for it Go play it if you want to check it out
As far as the 2013 Tomb Raider goes, not once did I think Lara’s constant grunting, sighing, vocal cues meant anything sexual. She gets tossed around like a freakin’ ragdoll most of the game because of her initial combat and survival inexperience, so yeah I’d expect a lot of those sounds to come from a (fictional) human being 🤷🏼♂️
I thought the same thing as you, until the audio of this played in the background while I was studying xD. If you're playing the game, it makes complete sense, but when you just hear the audio without the context of the crazy sequences, I can see the confusion.
Yeah... I played it in front of my wife and daughters. It could be because everyone could see the screen and get the actual context I guess but none of us thought that either. The fight with Poison Ivy in one of the Batman Arkham games though? Yeah, my wife asked if I was sure that my attacks were causing damage because it sounded like Ivy was enjoying them.
Same. He’s really reaching here. Seems weird to shame gamers for playing this. By his logic then you should feel embarrassed for playing every JRPG or Manga game because a lot of the female characters sound sexual when they get hit/take damage
@@Antiprincipl3 she sounds exhausted because she fell off a cliff, which is what happens. She doesn’t sound like a woman orgasming. If your woman is moaning in pain during sex, then you’re having the wrong kind of sex
Absolutely. It was - as said in the video - the marketing around it. Remember the life-size Lara statues in video game stores during that time? 😉 And why do you think they're absolutely unaffordable collectibles nowadays...
@DON666 only the media made a thing about Lara its pretty pathetic. Npbody got off on how she was depicted in the game..graphics were so poor back then she barely looked human. I imagine the life size models are valuable because she's a gaming icon
@@jasewildheart I agree about the graphics quality. That's what I implied in my posting. And yes, the statues are iconic and rare - but still also sexy as hell. ;)
Yes I do!!😂😂 I was in my mid teens and I was playing around with my older brothers computer and I found that game on it and played it for a couple hours before I was caught.
It's okay, some of us were running away from the creepy as all fuck Butler before locking him in the freezer, still doomed to only hear the occasional tinkle of fine china teacups and saucers and spoons and you freeze in fear at 7 years old thinking "Oh crap...am I just hearing him from/though the freezer?.....or did HE ESCAPE AND IS COMING UP THE STAIRS?!?!?!?" 😱😂 Ahh good times, good times.
Back in the 90's, I played the first two Tomb Raider games in PlayStation rentals that were always crowded with people. Most people would play soccer, racing, and fighting games at the time. But nobody would think you were a pervert for playing TR games. Did falcon grow up in fucked up neighborhood or something
@@GwenActually correct...in fact nobody was, it was just a great game. There wasn't anything remotely sexy or sexual about it. Lara looked like a bunch of polygons.
Stellar Blade is not embarrassing. It's a work of art, even my girlfriend looked at me playing it for a bit and then went: "Yeah okay, I get it. Even though Eve IS annoyingly sexy! But I get it".
Seriously if you hear Tomb Raider 2013 and your mind immediately goes there, you've probably been watching too many of those types of videos on the internet. I've played it many times over the years and not once did my mind go there, Lara is a woman going through hell in that game, why sexualise the way she sounds?
they are referring to someone overhearing it and thinking it's weird. They are not saying it's weird in context. At least, that's what I got from the video.
@@djx7134 I suppose this has always been a thing with the Tomb Raider games, I vaguely remember seeing a reaction Keeley Hawes had to the sound effects in the games out of context, I'm pretty sure there is a video of that somewhere, this would've been years ago.
@@djx7134 except the only way you'd connect it to a bunch of overacting porn videos is if you spend way too much time listening to porn actors overacting.. telling on yourself really
So true!!! If I had to go through all that stuff, bet I’d be making the same sounds!! Surviving in this game (from a story point) is hard! Constantly fighting, taking hits, being tossed around by water, attacked by animals, climbing, running, swimming… imagine her being quiet through all that 😂
Not really. You're saying that probably because you're using the perspective of someone who is playing the game. But if you're using a third person perspective aka someone who is in another room who didn't know that you were playing an action-adventure video game, it's hard not to think that way with all those Lara's screams, moaning and grunting.
Yeah this is just men sexualizing women in situations that aren't meant to be sexual, which.. I mean it's cringe behavior but not the game's fault you're a creep lol
@@TheZardark let me explain it's called simple-minded fools who only thing about sexual noises when you hear a grunt or a moan your initial thought is sexual based go into another room with the game still on and see what you think about it then if you think sexual noises then there you go if you don't then you're not a simple minded fool
5:20 - She is based 100% on an actual living person in South Korea... so not impossibly proportioned. The only difference is the face of Eve is not the model's face.
He was spot on regarding WaifuBlade Chronicles 2. People have literally made mods reducing the breast size because it is excessive and kind of creepy on a girl that young. Also Nier Automata has a mod where you can give the character some leggings.
When it dropped I couldn't wait to play it. Bought it for 360 fired it up and got to the part where Lamar is upset about not being employee of the month and my 4yr old wanders by and scrunched up his face and asks "Dad? What's a fuckis?" That was tge end of playing while he was awake.
I played tomb raider on my 43 inch 4K TV with my parents around. Neither me nor my parents thought is was weird. You'd think it was weird, if your mind was in a deeep dirty gutter.
indeed now i have realised what falcon has said i even played the next one after it and still no result even i played it with my uncle and aunt around and still no result
Well obviously if someone knows the context of the noise then it wouldn't be weird since its normal to groan when someone is in pain but it would be weird if someone didn't know the context behind the noise and in this case since you are playing on a big ass TV the people around you know why she is making the noise thus it isn't weird to them.
@@brtt150 My partner asks me to change outfits to make the girls in video games look more naked. She encourages me to do it! lol Several of the women I've dated are hornier than I am! lol
Whoever wrote this list is far too concerned about the opinions of others. Simple responses below: 1. It's a fun game. 2. I didn't design the game. 3. *Actual* porn is freely available all over the Internet. 4. Lighten up.
I mean… it’s a list about others. It’s probably going to focus on that. I think it would have been better to go with the obvious choices. Dildo shop in cyberpunk. Leisure suit Larry. Etc.
Your wife/girlfriend not allowing you to even see games like that is a big red flag! And Falcon is mentioning it about 1 time per game!! Need help, my man?
I think it's fairly normal. It's become sort of a "red flag" nowadays among the younger folks, but it's always been normal behavior on women's part. Older millennials such as Falcon grew up in a time when there wasn't much exposure to such openly and explicitly sexual content. It's only recently that these things have become normalized.
@@Lex_Nocturnano dumbass he’s saying it would sound weird to someone who heard it from another room and didn’t know the context. It’s funny seeing so many of yall get triggered lol
Not at all lol. Vocal noises can totally sound weird to people who don't have context. Senua's Sacrifice has a lot of it in sections. Great game still but it's funny/terrifying out of context depending on the part.
It's not who plays it, it's whoever only hears the sound and doesn't see the screen. I tried it in this video -- just looked the other way for a sec -- and I must admit the effect is profound.
I dont want to drag Falcon but, I was thinking maybe DDR, Atlier Ryza, Lego games, nerdy cartoony kiddie games. Not this. Also, Tomb Raider 2013 is a 10/10 classic imo. How do you even sexualize that story? This is like fear of being in the room alone with fictional women.
Atelier Totori was Refused Classification in Australia for a while (apparently due to a passing reference to sexual violence), and while it was reclassified later, Totori Plus was allegedly rated R18+ because of the optional swimsuit costumes. I suspect the costumes earned the hit because the characters wearing them appear to be under-age (although as I recall no age is specified.) It's actually quite common for games with an anime aesthetic to have swimsuits as optional DLC. Almost anything from Gust has them, and many games in the Tales franchise. But, to be fair, it's also common in almost anything with female characters; bikini armour is a trope for a reason.
Yeah I’ve played several of the games on this list with no shame or even thinking it was cringy lol. The Tomb raider reboot games are awesome and most of my actual gamer friends, the ones who don’t only play multiplayer lol, all loved them as well when they came out. Low key might play through one of them again soon now that I’m talking about them.
Take a drink every time Lara gets penetrated. Be it wood, rebar, arrow, every goddamn minute she's getting penetrated. I felt the entire game was just egregious loose innuendo.
I mean most of this is just sexual immaturity, even Stellar Blade the argument of impossible body was debunked when they showed the actress/model that does the mocap and the character is a digital scan of her. I think its like seriously some repressed shit they are having issues with, 99% of people i know would watch all of this and not have an issue or bat an eye at it including family, maybe my grandma might make some comment about staring at girlies or something to poke fun a bit but the reality is most people watched game of thrones. Even if they were leaning into that kind of stuff I can see something like "She Will Punish them" or "Subverse" and honestly most people I know bought it for the lolz, and they are not embarrassed for 1 sec about it.
Stellar Blade. "Impossibly proportioned anime babe". Isn't she based on an actual Korean model, like actual body scans, just with some "anime-ification" of her face? Have people forgotten that hot women exist in real life?
@dustinyoshimaru5612 That is correct. When people started complaining about how unrealistic she looks, the devs posted a video showing the model getting scanned into their system
She is scanned from a real person, but her proportions were also edited to exaggerate certain aspects of her body. Eve to not a one-to-one scan of the model.
@@CiarlaArt Same deal for some other models, like that lass who's the main protagonist in SW Outlaws, or Horizon's Hannah Hoekstra, or Control's Courtney Hope. All of these characters have touch ups and changes to meet whatever standards the developers feel needs to be met artistically, or to meet whatever criteria they've been given.
@@CiarlaArt I am not disagreeing with your statement, but I remember watching a video done by a graphic programmer/editor that showed that the edited proportions was actually in the other direction then exaggerate. I wish I could remember the video but since I don't have a PS, it was just a video that I caught in passing. Now that didn't say anything about the outfits and stuff, but it seemed that when tested, they has actually dialed down the models proportions a tiny bit and it's the outfits that make people think it the other way., Take that with a grain of salt because as I said, I saw the video that dug into it but the whole discussion about the game wasn't really something I was paying a lot of attention to.
@@IndigoVagrant just because you were born bitch-made doesn't mean others can't enjoy games, the stellar blade one is pure bs because the girl is literally a 1:1 comparison of a real world model, falcon just pushes the agenda that all gamers hate.
I swear I read somewhere, back in the day, that they were asked to stop grunting so enthusiastically. Like BBC received complaints or something... "Dear points of view, I was recently watching your Wimbledon coverage with my late husband, and I couldn't help but notice the young ladies and their enthusiasm for grunting. That in and of itself is of little issue, but as I looked over to my husband I noticed that he seemed to have been enjoying it, and it offended me greatly. Thus is whence I bludgeoned him with a frying pan, so I am now writing to complain in the hope that you may take pity upon me and help to pay my legal fees for the incident that could have been avoided were the young ladies reprimanded for their grunting. Thank you in advance. Sincerely: Margaret, of the women's institute."
I never understood that one, either. If you have a problem with athletes (of any gender) grunting while playing a physically demanding sport, the problem is with you, not them.
@@djinnxx7050 I'm not sure about the BBC receiving complaints, but I know Wimbledon themselves and the LTA have tried to clamp down on grunting at the tournament. There's definitely sensors set up to measure how loud the competitors are as well. Perhaps over a certain volume level they get a warning from the umpire?
What was he on about with Tomb Raider? I've literally never heard someone complaining about the sound effects. I mean seriously, dude. If you think those are noises of pleasure, I've got some very bad news for you...
@@marcelluswallace6240 Believe it or not, at launch some people made a big deal out of Lara making exertion noises, I thought those people were stupid back then, still do.
Lmaooo @5:21 "the fact the main character is an impossibly proportionate anime babe" sir she is a straight 1:1 scan of a korean model. Lost a little bit of respect there for that one.
I always think it's really weird when all these "games you'd be embarrassed to play" lists seem to be centered around hot, scantily-clad girls. Now, I haven't been a teenage boy living in my mom's house in 30 years, but I guarantee that if my mom walked in on me playing a game like DOAX3 or as the sorceress in Dragon's Crown, she wouldn't give it a second thought and would just be happy knowing that I was a typical teenage boy with normal hormones and an attraction to girls. I think I would be more embarrassed if she caught me playing something like My Little Pony, Barbie Adventures or Fortnite.
Honestly the primary reason I clicked on this video was because I was hoping Fortnite was going to be on it…. Was not expecting a bunch of bad takes by Falcon.
Dude -- you shouldn't even be embarrassed playing My Little Pony, Barbie Adventures or Fortnite. And neither should your parents worry about you if you did that.
The fact this list made onto the channel is baffling. It seems unnecessarily negative and seems to reach for the smallest reason to bash gamers often using tired stereotypes to do so. Seriously, they need to do better than this as it's just pathetic. I am really disappointed as I usually love what this channel puts out.
Are you okay, bruv? It's ok not to be... If your missus is bullying you because of the game you're playing that's spousal abuse and you need to take steps to protect yourself. If you need help but can't say it because you're scared, use the word "shenanigans" in your next upload, and we'll work something out. If you were caught playing DoA Beach Volleyball you're on your own, of course. That's indefensible...
Lol, exactly what I was thinking 😅 But too many guys (at least around me) are stuck in such a relationship, and are convinced that if they just work harder, it'll get better, because she's "making me a better person" and, after all, love requires sacrifices and compromises... which is true, but it feels off 🤷♂ They no longer have that excited, jovial energy that was once very common with them
All of that meaningless word soup just to defend your perverted immaturity. You could of saved yourself more time by owning up to the fact you’re wrong and that maybe you should stop touching yourself over fictional characters.
I remember playing Beyonetta and first thing that happens as my mom walks in is Bayonetta’s clothes turning into a monster. Also my sister had her character, Shadowheart and Lazel running around as “the underwear girls” and my dad just had to ask why
Why would I be embarrassed to play any game, no matter who's watching? Everyone's got different tastes, and at the end of the day, it's about enjoying what you do. Gaming's about having fun, not trying to impress anyone.
Thank you I would never be embarrassed when I played games like tomb raider when it first came out my bully of sisters tried to shame because of the character design of Lara Croft ..but my dad flipped it back on them saying ," Y'all should be ashamed of yourselves soundy like 6 yrs old who never seen,a character design like that for a game " my dad always watched us play games or watched DBZ or cartoons with us
@@lashonrea4697 Because self awareness is also important. Why would you be embarrassed of watching pornography in front of your mom? Everyone has different tastes. See where this mindset leads.
@@OffendEveryoneImmediately You're seriously comparing playing video games to watching porn in front of your Mum? That's not just a stretch, that's just a False Equivalence. Even if a game has a bit of risqué content, it's nowhere near the same as Adults Only material. Gaming is a massive social hobby, not something private like what you're hinting at. And suggesting my mindset could somehow lead to inappropriate behaviour? That’s just a Slippery Slope fallacy. I’m cool with my interests, and if someone else isn’t, that’s their issue, not mine.
The DISRESPECT towards Life Is Strange is craaazy. 10:20 "It's certainly not the story, the characters, aesthetic and what the game looked like that drew me into it". Are we even talking about the same game!? lmfao
I like my manly action games as much as the next guy, but it was a really good game. It's good to get a change of pace and enjoy a story with more emotional impact now and again.
Personally I hated the game (the style of gameplay drives me up the wall) but even I thought the game had a great story… a bit predictable sure, but still solid.
Of the list played 3 (Tomb Raider 2013, Life is Strange, MSG5). Was never embarrassed playing any of them. One cemated love of 3rd person female leads with a bow, one dealt with serious subjects like suicide, one was a fun open sandbox playground.
My wife always breaks my balls when I'm playing simulators heavily. She be like... are you mowing the lawn? Why would you sit here and power wash on your computer? Are you pumping gas!?!
As someone who got the first DoA volleyball for lascivious reasons, I feel confident in saying that your interpretation of Lara Croft's sounds in the 2013 reboot is all you, birdman.
@@kingzach74closing your eyes would only make you recontextualize something that already has context. Then even Nathan Drake is extremely sexualized then, because he grunts and moans like crazy
In other words if its a woman its sexual and awkward, but if its a man it's cool and appropriate, the double standard. People need to get their heads out of the gutter and just enjoy the game.
this list makes it seem like these aspects are bad... Isnt there a whole culture war going on right now about stopping the hate that sexualized content gets? also, can we stop with the "imagine your wife or girlfriend walks in and sees you playing this" Its not 2003 anymore. My wife LOVES sexy ladies in games and enjoyed watching me play stelar blade
FFX2 is beloved by many and a LOT of cosplay since it's release. This is reaching. Is playing a game like this a threat to your masculinity? To see this as the number 1 really surprised me. What year is it? Quit shaming yourself over games with adult themes, and who cares if you like them? Nier Automata is a masterpiece. I haven't had such a wonderful time dealing with existentialism in a dystopian world since Chrono Trigger. Everything from the plot to the landscapes to the music is just so beautifully done, leaving the character designs as a side note. Oh no anime android lady has naughty bits. Who cares? If that is the only draw from the game you get aside from robots doing naughty things and the ultimate creation coming from a giant machine vagina, being a creation out of technology, then the point of the game and it's thematic metaphors is lost to pearl-clutching because "girl parts and the act of birth is icky". At least that's what I'm getting out of your complaints. You have a choice: play the game that's rated M for Mature that has more to it than big-beefy-buff-guys with blood, carnage, and explosions (which are fun as all get out: it's fun to be the hunky-boy!), but draw the line at at a woman character's features (over everything else that is solid about their character) as a "I hope my normal-people wife / girlfriend doesn't catch me playing this" scenario says more about your lack of communication with your partner than something you decided to purchase. Talk to your significant other. She's not your mom.
Agreed. I have several hundred hours in TR reboot and I've never found her sexy in the game. She's gutsy, determined and courageous, but also vulnerable and easily hurt or outright killed. Who finds a woman in pain erotic? True bravery is knowing the risks and then acting anyway. Lara is a true hero and deserves respect.
Man... I usually dont disagree with Falcon, but damn bro... It's just boobs. This sounds like he got busted by overbearing GF, and this is his apology tour. I mean, the Yakuza stuff is cringy on its own, but in the context, its just funny.
I think it's supposed to be a list of things that can be embarrassing? Like, other people might judge for. Apparently he still played all these games ... And this dude is probably in his late thirties/early forties. He's seen it all. Video game girls aren't going to impress guys our age.
@djx7134 I'm 40. I've played most of these games and worse - ever play Rumble Roses? Conkers Bad Fur Day?. Expaining Raiden at the end of MGS 2 is more cringy than Quiet. What I am saying is that there are many games that have sketchy moments, themes, and characters that are not girls. This video just comes off like, "Oh no! Boobies!" like Anita Sarkasian was standing over his shoulder.
@@ajmatheson2807 That's you projecting your own issues onto this list. The games Falcon mentioned do have cringeworthy elements, and men aren't nearly as sexualized as women in video games. If they were, there would definitely be some male-centric games on the list too.
@@ajmatheson2807 it's probably just the first 10 that came to mind. Honestly, it's not a very good list, but I could see how these could be cringe if certain people walked in.
@@zamulakincaidDefine sexualised. Do we mean that they display an aesthetically pleasing physique? And is that a bad thing? I'm reminded that Cyberpunk, and Conan Exiles have uh... Well, you know, those sliders that alter the size of an otherwise entirely pointless part of a character. Who genuinely complained? I find it funny, they did it just because, and I respect it. But does it add to anything? Nope. Still gonna slide it all the way and jiggle it for a second or two, cause I'm an overgrown child. If anyone walked in, who cares, I don't have to explain anything to anyone.
I'm shocked Hades didn't get a mention, considering you've got Aphrodite who's nude save for her Godiva hair, the rest of the Greek gods are all depicted either as beefcakes, bishounens, waifus, or amazon babes, the Furies are dominatrixes who utilize whips as their primary attacks, Zagreus can romance both Thanatos and Megarae simultaneously, as well as Medusa (though that one doesn't quite go the length), and several of the quest lines involve helping similarly attractive heroes from Greek mythology hook up with their male lovers, or their anthro-tree demigod wives. Game is amazing, but there's a reason several reviewers have posed the question of "You're sure this doesn't need to be tagged as NSFW?"
I feel like this list just exposes Falcon’s own flaws rather than any flaws with the games themselves. And everyone knows by now that the Stellar Blade protagonist is based on an actual model. The only thing exaggerated about her appearance is the outfit she has on.
Yeah I remember playing it as a kid, didn't remember the whole popstar opening though, I never found it cringey or awkward to play, but I've already seen worse as a kid lol...
@@lololollololol629 The thing about the popstar opening is that it's not Yuna. It's one of the side villains that stole Yuna's dress grid and is using her appearance and popularity to go on a bender. Then Riku and Payne crash the whole thing. It's honestly kind of a great idea and a fun way to start things off with a bit of subversion.
It's a great game, especially the combat system, and does not deserve to be anywhere near this list. Honestly if someone is somehow embarrassed about being caught playing they have some serious issues they need help with.
The mainstream has programmed men to be afraid of their own straightness. If someone walked in on me playing Stellar Blade I would immediately be like "check out these jiggle physics" and then we'd laugh instead of awkwardly pretending like we're not into it.
How about Ashley always moaning from simply jogging around in RE4 remake. It was so annoying and sounded crazy once my gf mentioned it. I couldn’t unhear it after it was mentioned
I'm not embarrassed to play anything around non-gamers. I grew up as a kid where being a "gamer", meant you were a nerd. I couldn't care less what anyone would think of what I'm playing at this point. The sexier and more scantily clad the women? The better. 😄
This video is a horrible take on the aesthetics of video games. Creativity should be explored and appreciated, not embarrassed and ashamed by, and why? Just because like 5% of all video games ever made have something goofy, sexualized, or cringe? You can’t complain modern games are too predictable and normal now, while also criticizing the creative choices developers made a decade plus ago. Life is strange is not my cup of tea, but I don’t get how it’s cringe to play as a teenage girl, or women with busty chests. It just seems like you’re enforcing this idea that playing unconventional games is frowned upon
It’s probably because Lollipop Chainsaw’s remake or remaster is about to come out. Honestly I think almost every take in this video was bad, but I think Falcon is trying to jump on the buzz… in a super weird/socially awkward and indirect way.
Normally I like these gameranx feature videos, but this is stupid! We all know how female protagonists look in japanese games and it is NOT about sexualizing women! It is about having cool skins and cosmetic customization options! In saints row 2 and saints row 3 your character could walk around nude, you had some kinky clothing options and this was from thq and volition. Western game developers. Why Falcon is attacking Japanese games is beyond me!
@@f.b.l.9813 Western devs, Japanese devs? It makes no differencce to me, a great game is a great game. You would definitely be in the very small minority if you hated gow ragnarok or spiderman 2. I've never heard about gameranx being towards american devs, in any event I find gameranx reviews a hell of a lot better than ign reviews. Ign journalists are shitheads!

First 3 shown in this video and its just a bias narrative against people playing games with attractive women and taking shots at people who enjoy that seriously if you don't like games like that fine but insulting people who like something you don't is not cool man I am a big fan of your channel but not cool dude
I don't think he was insulting anyone. Imagine you live in a religious household and you play through one of these games and someone walks in with no context and a raised eyebrow. It's something that millions of gamers deal with. It's funny.
@TihetrisWeathersby yeah, the 1st one is a bit cringe and weird. like there's a literal scene where Max is in the shower. You don't actually see anything, but the idea of a 18 year old in the shower being a main scene is a bit weird.
The Tomb Raider reboot I never took as sexual noises. It just came off as over the top which fit the scenario because of how violent each encounter was.
I think its just her voice and a lot of the moans and grunts don't sound like they are painful moans and grunts, just sensual. Not bad/egregious if you're in the room obviously but if you're not... Hence, why I assume its number 10 on the list in the first place.
18:15 "At the very least, you could play as one of the few dudes" DOA 5 had a 3:4 ratio of male to female characters (15 guys, 21 girls). If you leave out the guest characters, that becomes an even closer 13 guys and 17 girls. It's still unbalanced, but not as much as you might expect. And the gameplay is quite good and accessible - easy to button mash if you're new, with deep combos and mechanics if you're used to fighting games. I play it with my wife regularly, and while we both agree the costumes can get ridiculous (for both the females AND males), the gameplay is strong enough and the good costumes are good enough that we enjoy it quite a bit overall.
Don't you know that modern bossgirls like Aloy and Elly are only allowed to do masculine grunts and warcries so that the audiences don't misconstrue painful reactions as something else?
@@TornadoWhirl33 right? It’s inherently an odd little misogyny type of reaction people have, but that might just be corn that’s got everyone’s minds all goofy on this subject lol
My roommates ex always hated when he played games with women in them, watched movies or shows with women in them, even having other women as friends... She's a terrible person, the man never cheated or even hinted at having cheated.

My partner walked near me and I was ready to turn my phone away so that will tell you 😭 Other good mentions would be lollipop chainsaw it’s literally a 18 year old girl in a cheerleader outfit saying all kinds of smexy things and killing zombies with a chainsaw Obviously it was awesome Then there way blood rayne which isn’t as bad as the first but still really awkward considering it was a half naked vampire that would say flirty things to her Enemies before sucking their blood And yes that game was totally awesome too
It feels like the problem is the narrator not the games 😂 It's also sad we're living during the times when anything bigger than A cup makes ppl lose their minds. Not to mention that half naked guys is totally cool.

You way off on the interpretation. Its games that could be embarrassing around certain people(maybe your grandma). For sure I would bust in my nephews room if I heard them noises with no context. I watch Anime, I turn it off when moms come around. Dont act like you do some things you will just do in front of anyone.
@@Mont3000 Yes; I understand the intent of the video, that’s not the point. Just watch from 0:58. He clearly agrees (even when he’s the one playing the game) that the sounds she makes sounds sexual. Which is one thing if you can’t see the gameplay but comes off as very strange if you have the context.
TBF Nathan Drake made plenty of noises/grunts as well. I think it comes with the territory when you're getting thrown around ancient ruins and falling off mountains.
this is a personal one of mine but for me my choice used to be Hatsune Miku Project Diva, i used to be so embarrassed that i love Hatsune Miku and vocaloid as much as i do but over time, i've become such a huge fan of Hatsune Miku and vocaloid in general that i've grown to not care what people say about it (i love what i love) Don't let other people make fun of you for what you like :)
Her body scan is just a basis. They still clearly enhanced her physique more in the game to better fit every animation while still showcasing her proportions.
Never noticed the tomb raider stuff. Honestly just chalked it up to "yeah, I'd probably grunt and moan too, after hitting the ground after falling from a zip line" seemed realistic to me 🤷🏻♂️

The Tomb Raider one is a really weird take for me. Played it again a couple months ago and never noticed her grunting or "moaning" as weird cause...well she's constantly in really exhausting situations. Y'all would be grunting too if you had to deal with what Lara has to deal with. 🗿
I think it's probably different if you play around other people. I also didn't notice, probably because all the moans and grunts and stuff make sense in context, anyone would be making noises in those situations, but if someone else overhears from the kitchen, they might jump to conclusions.
Fr…I was thinking the same thing. Weird take to say the least.
Yeah his mind went pure left on that one. Lara is always in danger so of course she going to grunt or make noise. Falcon's mind is just plain dirty!!
Very prudish take to say the least. If someone connects that to sexual related stuff, it says more about the person

As far as the 2013 Tomb Raider goes, not once did I think Lara’s constant grunting, sighing, vocal cues meant anything sexual. She gets tossed around like a freakin’ ragdoll most of the game because of her initial combat and survival inexperience, so yeah I’d expect a lot of those sounds to come from a (fictional) human being 🤷🏼♂️
Cool, but what if you heard this coming from your friends room or something you would think that aswel
"bUt FeMaLe MaKe SoUnD mAkE mE tHiNk Of PoRnOgRaPhY"
I thought the same thing as you, until the audio of this played in the background while I was studying xD.
If you're playing the game, it makes complete sense, but when you just hear the audio without the context of the crazy sequences, I can see the confusion.
Yeah... I played it in front of my wife and daughters. It could be because everyone could see the screen and get the actual context I guess but none of us thought that either.
The fight with Poison Ivy in one of the Batman Arkham games though? Yeah, my wife asked if I was sure that my attacks were causing damage because it sounded like Ivy was enjoying them.
Yeah, no one thought it was pornography. Not sure why this made the list

They probably won't have been as popular if it wasn't for Lara though

Seriously if you hear Tomb Raider 2013 and your mind immediately goes there, you've probably been watching too many of those types of videos on the internet. I've played it many times over the years and not once did my mind go there, Lara is a woman going through hell in that game, why sexualise the way she sounds?

So true!!! If I had to go through all that stuff, bet I’d be making the same sounds!! Surviving in this game (from a story point) is hard! Constantly fighting, taking hits, being tossed around by water, attacked by animals, climbing, running, swimming… imagine her being quiet through all that 😂
Yeah your have to h4 a.commit4r perv to see or hear what ganeranx has pointed out here. Quite a dumb take on those games.
Not really. You're saying that probably because you're using the perspective of someone who is playing the game. But if you're using a third person perspective aka someone who is in another room who didn't know that you were playing an action-adventure video game, it's hard not to think that way with all those Lara's screams, moaning and grunting.

He was spot on regarding WaifuBlade Chronicles 2. People have literally made mods reducing the breast size because it is excessive and kind of creepy on a girl that young. Also Nier Automata has a mod where you can give the character some leggings.
The worst for me was gta 5. Especially the trevor parts. Noone wants their parents or grandparents walking in on a trevor scene
haha that's a good point, just transitioning to him from another character sometimes had the raunchiest scenes
They're hilarious. I'd worry around the torture scene.
When it dropped I couldn't wait to play it. Bought it for 360 fired it up and got to the part where Lamar is upset about not being employee of the month and my 4yr old wanders by and scrunched up his face and asks "Dad? What's a fuckis?" That was tge end of playing while he was awake.

I played tomb raider on my 43 inch 4K TV with my parents around.
Neither me nor my parents thought is was weird.
You'd think it was weird, if your mind was in a deeep dirty gutter.
With that perspective in mind, it says a lot more about gameranx then.
indeed now i have realised what falcon has said i even played the next one after it and still no result
even i played it with my uncle and aunt around and still no result
Exactly ! I played it on the tv and nobody thought it was weird , even i didn't think it was weird even though my mind is in a deep dirty gutter .
I'm in the same boat as most of you. Played it with friends and family around on the fifty inch and nobody noticed not even me.
Well obviously if someone knows the context of the noise then it wouldn't be weird since its normal to groan when someone is in pain but it would be weird if someone didn't know the context behind the noise and in this case since you are playing on a big ass TV the people around you know why she is making the noise thus it isn't weird to them.

Why would Falcon say "An impossibly proportioned anime girl?" She's live modeled after a south Korean actress. It's been hugely in the news.
Whoever wrote this list is far too concerned about the opinions of others. Simple responses below:
1. It's a fun game.
2. I didn't design the game.
3. *Actual* porn is freely available all over the Internet.
4. Lighten up.
I mean… it’s a list about others. It’s probably going to focus on that. I think it would have been better to go with the obvious choices. Dildo shop in cyberpunk. Leisure suit Larry. Etc.
Your wife/girlfriend not allowing you to even see games like that is a big red flag!
And Falcon is mentioning it about 1 time per game!! Need help, my man?
I think it's fairly normal. It's become sort of a "red flag" nowadays among the younger folks, but it's always been normal behavior on women's part. Older millennials such as Falcon grew up in a time when there wasn't much exposure to such openly and explicitly sexual content. It's only recently that these things have become normalized.
Nah, why are you playing these games. Just play normal games.
Right? Why would a woman get a say in what I want to play? It's none of their business what I do with my money.

The takes on Tomb Raider and Stellar Blade were so bad I would be embarrassed to show this video to my non-gamer friends.
I dont want to drag Falcon but, I was thinking maybe DDR, Atlier Ryza, Lego games, nerdy cartoony kiddie games. Not this. Also, Tomb Raider 2013 is a 10/10 classic imo. How do you even sexualize that story? This is like fear of being in the room alone with fictional women.
Atelier Totori was Refused Classification in Australia for a while (apparently due to a passing reference to sexual violence), and while it was reclassified later, Totori Plus was allegedly rated R18+ because of the optional swimsuit costumes. I suspect the costumes earned the hit because the characters wearing them appear to be under-age (although as I recall no age is specified.)
It's actually quite common for games with an anime aesthetic to have swimsuits as optional DLC. Almost anything from Gust has them, and many games in the Tales franchise. But, to be fair, it's also common in almost anything with female characters; bikini armour is a trope for a reason.
Yeah I’ve played several of the games on this list with no shame or even thinking it was cringy lol. The Tomb raider reboot games are awesome and most of my actual gamer friends, the ones who don’t only play multiplayer lol, all loved them as well when they came out. Low key might play through one of them again soon now that I’m talking about them.
Take a drink every time Lara gets penetrated. Be it wood, rebar, arrow, every goddamn minute she's getting penetrated. I felt the entire game was just egregious loose innuendo.
I mean most of this is just sexual immaturity, even Stellar Blade the argument of impossible body was debunked when they showed the actress/model that does the mocap and the character is a digital scan of her. I think its like seriously some repressed shit they are having issues with, 99% of people i know would watch all of this and not have an issue or bat an eye at it including family, maybe my grandma might make some comment about staring at girlies or something to poke fun a bit but the reality is most people watched game of thrones.
Even if they were leaning into that kind of stuff I can see something like "She Will Punish them" or "Subverse" and honestly most people I know bought it for the lolz, and they are not embarrassed for 1 sec about it.
who tf is ashamed of any lego games those are legit for all ages
Stellar Blade. "Impossibly proportioned anime babe". Isn't she based on an actual Korean model, like actual body scans, just with some "anime-ification" of her face? Have people forgotten that hot women exist in real life?
@dustinyoshimaru5612 That is correct. When people started complaining about how unrealistic she looks, the devs posted a video showing the model getting scanned into their system
She is scanned from a real person, but her proportions were also edited to exaggerate certain aspects of her body. Eve to not a one-to-one scan of the model.
@@CiarlaArt Same deal for some other models, like that lass who's the main protagonist in SW Outlaws, or Horizon's Hannah Hoekstra, or Control's Courtney Hope. All of these characters have touch ups and changes to meet whatever standards the developers feel needs to be met artistically, or to meet whatever criteria they've been given.
@@CiarlaArt I am not disagreeing with your statement, but I remember watching a video done by a graphic programmer/editor that showed that the edited proportions was actually in the other direction then exaggerate. I wish I could remember the video but since I don't have a PS, it was just a video that I caught in passing. Now that didn't say anything about the outfits and stuff, but it seemed that when tested, they has actually dialed down the models proportions a tiny bit and it's the outfits that make people think it the other way., Take that with a grain of salt because as I said, I saw the video that dug into it but the whole discussion about the game wasn't really something I was paying a lot of attention to.

I swear I read somewhere, back in the day, that they were asked to stop grunting so enthusiastically. Like BBC received complaints or something...
"Dear points of view, I was recently watching your Wimbledon coverage with my late husband, and I couldn't help but notice the young ladies and their enthusiasm for grunting. That in and of itself is of little issue, but as I looked over to my husband I noticed that he seemed to have been enjoying it, and it offended me greatly. Thus is whence I bludgeoned him with a frying pan, so I am now writing to complain in the hope that you may take pity upon me and help to pay my legal fees for the incident that could have been avoided were the young ladies reprimanded for their grunting.

@@djinnxx7050 I'm not sure about the BBC receiving complaints, but I know Wimbledon themselves and the LTA have tried to clamp down on grunting at the tournament.

I always think it's really weird when all these "games you'd be embarrassed to play" lists seem to be centered around hot, scantily-clad girls. Now, I haven't been a teenage boy living in my mom's house in 30 years, but I guarantee that if my mom walked in on me playing a game like DOAX3 or as the sorceress in Dragon's Crown, she wouldn't give it a second thought and would just be happy knowing that I was a typical teenage boy with normal hormones and an attraction to girls. I think I would be more embarrassed if she caught me playing something like My Little Pony, Barbie Adventures or Fortnite.

Right? If not the story, characters and aesthetic, why would you even play it? It's literally the story that makes the game punch hard
Personally I hated the game (the style of gameplay drives me up the wall) but even I thought the game had a great story… a bit predictable sure, but still solid.
When did gameranx get taken over by kotaku? This video is more embarassing than any game out there.
My thoughts exactly
God of War 1 and 3 had that minigame that I was super embarrased to play when my family was around
All of the God of War games do lol. I remember wearing headphones on the PSP for the mini games 😂
@@glitchbanana GOW 16 and Ragnarok have nothing like the sex replenishing scenes though.
@@makasete30 True I meant the Greek mythology ones not the latest Norse ones.
@@makasete30 16?
Now I'm curious...
Of the list played 3 (Tomb Raider 2013, Life is Strange, MSG5). Was never embarrassed playing any of them. One cemated love of 3rd person female leads with a bow, one dealt with serious subjects like suicide, one was a fun open sandbox playground.
My wife always breaks my balls when I'm playing simulators heavily. She be like... are you mowing the lawn? Why would you sit here and power wash on your computer? Are you pumping gas!?!
I can hear the collective wife population asking that last question lmao
Just got a top of the line Lenovo gaming laptop, dedicated graphic card, endless RAM...
...and the first game I install?
Lawn Mowing Simulator.
@@MrRezRising oh yeah that beautiful grass must look phenomenal on that laptop
@@Mr.Rogers91 Man, now THAT'S where Unreal Engine needs to be! 🤣🤣🤣
Divorce her 😂
FFX2 being embarrassing is a wild take.
"Help, I'm cringing from too much peak."
Nope! I unapologetically play every Tomb Raider in front of anybody that wants to watch. I love those games. The audio and visuals are just bonuses!
Shit, I play Senran Kagura in front of others. You can't hurt me, normies. I've become immune to their subhuman no fun allowed puritanism.
@@Gaia_Gaistar tbh is like any kind of fanservice game isnt allowed or should be allowed
As someone who got the first DoA volleyball for lascivious reasons, I feel confident in saying that your interpretation of Lara Croft's sounds in the 2013 reboot is all you, birdman.
Nope. Close your eyes and listen to the lara croft sounds in the video.
@@kingzach74 Stop watching so much porn, touch grass and have sex with real women, then you wouldn't be thinking those things
My roommate played the game in the other room without headphones. Falcon is not alone here at all.
@@kingzach74closing your eyes would only make you recontextualize something that already has context. Then even Nathan Drake is extremely sexualized then, because he grunts and moans like crazy
New word unlocked lol
Just play your games and dont care what others think about it. It's not hard.
NOOO!!!
falcon has to push his opinion on you all
King 👑
Exactly. End of story.
Yeah, unless your mom shows up lmao
In other words if its a woman its sexual and awkward, but if its a man it's cool and appropriate, the double standard. People need to get their heads out of the gutter and just enjoy the game.
No? Stop making everything a gender issue. Borderline gaslighting people
I love that almost all of them are quirky Japanese games 😂
When a country's people make games because people want them rather than for ideological reasons
@@humanyoutubeuser ???
It's fine to want perfectly shaped pseudo-anime titties, but actual realism has merit as well.
Well Stellar Blade is Korean So it's not just Japan.
almost all of them are cause of melons
Mr Mosquito and the bath level
What if your significant other is into these games, too?
A couple that plays video games together,stays together.
Very true! Thanks for watching :)
this list makes it seem like these aspects are bad... Isnt there a whole culture war going on right now about stopping the hate that sexualized content gets? also, can we stop with the "imagine your wife or girlfriend walks in and sees you playing this" Its not 2003 anymore. My wife LOVES sexy ladies in games and enjoyed watching me play stelar blade
Agreed
For real. Most women also enjoy hot women.
Thats the confident girl, the ones these people like this weirdo gameranx guy is the unconfident ones
I'd actually be embarrassed playing Abby from Last of Us. Imagine the missus walking in and asking, 'Is that a guy?' 😂
FFX2 is beloved by many and a LOT of cosplay since it's release. This is reaching.
Is playing a game like this a threat to your masculinity? To see this as the number 1 really surprised me. What year is it?
Quit shaming yourself over games with adult themes, and who cares if you like them?
Nier Automata is a masterpiece. I haven't had such a wonderful time dealing with existentialism in a dystopian world since Chrono Trigger. Everything from the plot to the landscapes to the music is just so beautifully done, leaving the character designs as a side note. Oh no anime android lady has naughty bits. Who cares? If that is the only draw from the game you get aside from robots doing naughty things and the ultimate creation coming from a giant machine vagina, being a creation out of technology, then the point of the game and it's thematic metaphors is lost to pearl-clutching because "girl parts and the act of birth is icky".
At least that's what I'm getting out of your complaints.
You have a choice: play the game that's rated M for Mature that has more to it than big-beefy-buff-guys with blood, carnage, and explosions (which are fun as all get out: it's fun to be the hunky-boy!), but draw the line at at a woman character's features (over everything else that is solid about their character) as a "I hope my normal-people wife / girlfriend doesn't catch me playing this" scenario says more about your lack of communication with your partner than something you decided to purchase. Talk to your significant other. She's not your mom.
tomb raider has never been embarrassing
Lol it for sure was. I remember the bonus ending clip in one of the early ones with the shower.
@@IndigoVagrant nothing embarrassing about that nothing was even shown
You forgot Catherine. It's a solid puzzle game with some interesting, dark parts of the plot, but most of it is unbelievably cringey.
Yeah, this list was a hit and miss compared to their other lists.
Yeah, that's a "You" problem if you think the sounds of pain and terror are "erotic". Pretty sus if you ask me.
Agreed. I have several hundred hours in TR reboot and I've never found her sexy in the game. She's gutsy, determined and courageous, but also vulnerable and easily hurt or outright killed. Who finds a woman in pain erotic?
True bravery is knowing the risks and then acting anyway. Lara is a true hero and deserves respect.
Me explaining Bayonetta as a woman: the most accurate jiggle physics I have ever seen and I'm so happy to feel seen.
To be fair Lara is pretty heavily wounded for most of the 2013 game, any climbing or falling or w/e probably hurt like hell every time.
True you got a point!
Man... I usually dont disagree with Falcon, but damn bro... It's just boobs. This sounds like he got busted by overbearing GF, and this is his apology tour. I mean, the Yakuza stuff is cringy on its own, but in the context, its just funny.
I think it's supposed to be a list of things that can be embarrassing? Like, other people might judge for. Apparently he still played all these games ...
And this dude is probably in his late thirties/early forties. He's seen it all. Video game girls aren't going to impress guys our age.
@djx7134 I'm 40. I've played most of these games and worse - ever play Rumble Roses? Conkers Bad Fur Day?. Expaining Raiden at the end of MGS 2 is more cringy than Quiet.
What I am saying is that there are many games that have sketchy moments, themes, and characters that are not girls. This video just comes off like, "Oh no! Boobies!" like Anita Sarkasian was standing over his shoulder.
@@ajmatheson2807 That's you projecting your own issues onto this list. The games Falcon mentioned do have cringeworthy elements, and men aren't nearly as sexualized as women in video games. If they were, there would definitely be some male-centric games on the list too.
@@ajmatheson2807 it's probably just the first 10 that came to mind. Honestly, it's not a very good list, but I could see how these could be cringe if certain people walked in.
@@zamulakincaidDefine sexualised. Do we mean that they display an aesthetically pleasing physique?
And is that a bad thing?
I'm reminded that Cyberpunk, and Conan Exiles have uh... Well, you know, those sliders that alter the size of an otherwise entirely pointless part of a character. Who genuinely complained?
I find it funny, they did it just because, and I respect it. But does it add to anything? Nope. Still gonna slide it all the way and jiggle it for a second or two, cause I'm an overgrown child. If anyone walked in, who cares, I don't have to explain anything to anyone.
I'm shocked Hades didn't get a mention, considering you've got Aphrodite who's nude save for her Godiva hair, the rest of the Greek gods are all depicted either as beefcakes, bishounens, waifus, or amazon babes, the Furies are dominatrixes who utilize whips as their primary attacks, Zagreus can romance both Thanatos and Megarae simultaneously, as well as Medusa (though that one doesn't quite go the length), and several of the quest lines involve helping similarly attractive heroes from Greek mythology hook up with their male lovers, or their anthro-tree demigod wives. Game is amazing, but there's a reason several reviewers have posed the question of "You're sure this doesn't need to be tagged as NSFW?"
I feel like this list just exposes Falcon’s own flaws rather than any flaws with the games themselves. And everyone knows by now that the Stellar Blade protagonist is based on an actual model. The only thing exaggerated about her appearance is the outfit she has on.
I unapologetically love final fantasy 10-2 and i don't care who knows it, or walks in on me playing it. One of my favorite final fantasy games.
Yeah I remember playing it as a kid, didn't remember the whole popstar opening though, I never found it cringey or awkward to play, but I've already seen worse as a kid lol...
@@lololollololol629 The thing about the popstar opening is that it's not Yuna. It's one of the side villains that stole Yuna's dress grid and is using her appearance and popularity to go on a bender. Then Riku and Payne crash the whole thing. It's honestly kind of a great idea and a fun way to start things off with a bit of subversion.
@@kallie6662 I got the remaster on the switch so I will eventually replay it because there's alot I don't remember..
I kneel.
It's a great game, especially the combat system, and does not deserve to be anywhere near this list. Honestly if someone is somehow embarrassed about being caught playing they have some serious issues they need help with.
The mainstream has programmed men to be afraid of their own straightness. If someone walked in on me playing Stellar Blade I would immediately be like "check out these jiggle physics" and then we'd laugh instead of awkwardly pretending like we're not into it.
feminists convinced all the liberal men to become soy boys.
How about Ashley always moaning from simply jogging around in RE4 remake. It was so annoying and sounded crazy once my gf mentioned it. I couldn’t unhear it after it was mentioned
If you think its just Ashley Leon does it too😂
Oh boy, you should play the original 😂
I'm not embarrassed to play anything around non-gamers. I grew up as a kid where being a "gamer", meant you were a nerd.
I couldn't care less what anyone would think of what I'm playing at this point. The sexier and more scantily clad the women? The better. 😄

Does anyone here remember BMXXX? 😂😂 "Get your hot salty nuts here!"
Shit yeah I remember that. We didn’t have the hub back then 😂😂😂
Or playboy mansion for ps2/xbox
How is Baldur's Gate 3 not at the top of this list?
Woooo. Now that is a shameful memory oO
@@williamyoung9401 because games like BMXXX exist
This video is a horrible take on the aesthetics of video games. Creativity should be explored and appreciated, not embarrassed and ashamed by, and why? Just because like 5% of all video games ever made have something goofy, sexualized, or cringe? You can’t complain modern games are too predictable and normal now, while also criticizing the creative choices developers made a decade plus ago. Life is strange is not my cup of tea, but I don’t get how it’s cringe to play as a teenage girl, or women with busty chests.
It just seems like you’re enforcing this idea that playing unconventional games is frowned upon
It’s probably because Lollipop Chainsaw’s remake or remaster is about to come out.
Honestly I think almost every take in this video was bad, but I think Falcon is trying to jump on the buzz… in a super weird/socially awkward and indirect way.
Frowned upon Mainly by a significant other.
Normally I like these gameranx feature videos, but this is stupid! We all know how female protagonists look in japanese games and it is NOT about sexualizing women! It is about having cool skins and cosmetic customization options! In saints row 2 and saints row 3 your character could walk around nude, you had some kinky clothing options and this was from thq and volition. Western game developers. Why Falcon is attacking Japanese games is beyond me!
they've always been biased for Western slop
@@f.b.l.9813 Western devs, Japanese devs? It makes no differencce to me, a great game is a great game. You would definitely be in the very small minority if you hated gow ragnarok or spiderman 2. I've never heard about gameranx being towards american devs, in any event I find gameranx reviews a hell of a lot better than ign reviews. Ign journalists are shitheads!
Plus there's a ton of comentary about an SO walking in on you playing part of these games.
Someone seems a tad insecure here.
Western games are cringe too, Cyberpunk, Mass Effect and Baldur's Gate for example. You're right he's just biased against japanese
@@Walamonga1313 Mass effect, cyberpunk and baldur's gate? Yeah let's attack 3 of the best western arpgs out there! No reasoning for why either. Way to go Troll! I'm dying to know your opinion of spiderman, spiderman 2 and the last of us 2! I need a good laugh!
After that Xenoblade 2 take I am convinced Falcon never watched an Anime or played a Gacha game in his entire life.
And what should Lara be doing during all these strenuous and stressful activities, recite the Magna Carta? Come on Gameranx - you’re better than this.
First 3 shown in this video and its just a bias narrative against people playing games with attractive women and taking shots at people who enjoy that seriously if you don't like games like that fine but insulting people who like something you don't is not cool man I am a big fan of your channel but not cool dude
I don't think he was insulting anyone. Imagine you live in a religious household and you play through one of these games and someone walks in with no context and a raised eyebrow. It's something that millions of gamers deal with. It's funny.
Did people really sexualize grunting, sighing and vocal cues from damage? I mean, i grunt just getting off the couch…weird
We learned too much about Falcon in this video 😝
"Impossibly proportioned anime babe." Someone should tell that to the model
Ikr, this guy just hates attractive people in video games
I really enjoyed Life is Strange, It was a different kind of storytelling that I didn't expect from a video game
i love it as well, but i do see where it can be weird, especially the 1st one.
@@themorningstar126 I didn't play much of the first one, I really enjoyed Before the Storm though
@TihetrisWeathersby yeah, the 1st one is a bit cringe and weird. like there's a literal scene where Max is in the shower. You don't actually see anything, but the idea of a 18 year old in the shower being a main scene is a bit weird.
I played that game with my Teenage daughter, we had a great time.
I never noticed the sound in Tomb raider. now I can't unhear it. 😂😂
I never did either . Still doesn't sound weird to me though
Same I turned it out when I was playing the game
Most normal people don’t
The Tomb Raider reboot I never took as sexual noises. It just came off as over the top which fit the scenario because of how violent each encounter was.
I think its just her voice and a lot of the moans and grunts don't sound like they are painful moans and grunts, just sensual. Not bad/egregious if you're in the room obviously but if you're not... Hence, why I assume its number 10 on the list in the first place.
18:15 "At the very least, you could play as one of the few dudes"
DOA 5 had a 3:4 ratio of male to female characters (15 guys, 21 girls). If you leave out the guest characters, that becomes an even closer 13 guys and 17 girls. It's still unbalanced, but not as much as you might expect. And the gameplay is quite good and accessible - easy to button mash if you're new, with deep combos and mechanics if you're used to fighting games. I play it with my wife regularly, and while we both agree the costumes can get ridiculous (for both the females AND males), the gameplay is strong enough and the good costumes are good enough that we enjoy it quite a bit overall.
So you are trying to say that games with female protagonist shouldn't be played in front of anyone😂
Basically lol, but if ya have strict parents ya gotta worry about that moaning lmao
Yeah it's a very ridiculous idea. Lol. There's nothing wrong with very attractive women in videos games. No one wants to look at an ugly character 😅
Don't you know that modern bossgirls like Aloy and Elly are only allowed to do masculine grunts and warcries so that the audiences don't misconstrue painful reactions as something else?
scratch: in front of anyone
@@TornadoWhirl33 right? It’s inherently an odd little misogyny type of reaction people have, but that might just be corn that’s got everyone’s minds all goofy on this subject lol
My roommates ex always hated when he played games with women in them, watched movies or shows with women in them, even having other women as friends... She's a terrible person, the man never cheated or even hinted at having cheated.
@@TySama0 my coworker is like this. He won't let her go even after all the abuse

Other good mentions would be
lollipop chainsaw it’s literally a 18 year old girl in a cheerleader outfit saying all kinds of smexy things and killing zombies with a chainsaw
Obviously it was awesome
Then there way blood rayne which isn’t as bad as the first but still really awkward considering it was a half naked vampire that would say flirty things to her Enemies before sucking their blood
And yes that game was totally awesome too
It feels like the problem is the narrator not the games 😂
It's also sad we're living during the times when anything bigger than A cup makes ppl lose their minds.
Not to mention that half naked guys is totally cool.
Guitar Hero ... nothing better than a middle aged man jumping through the living room with a plastic guitar when someone walks in

Seriously, look what’s happening in the scene, and if you knew what she just did before this it seems completely normal.
Funniest self report.
2:03 WHAT DOES THIS MEAN??? Lol. If you think like that it says WAY more about you I’m sorry.
You way off on the interpretation. Its games that could be embarrassing around certain people(maybe your grandma). For sure I would bust in my nephews room if I heard them noises with no context.
I watch Anime, I turn it off when moms come around. Dont act like you do some things you will just do in front of anyone.
@@Mont3000 Yes; I understand the intent of the video, that’s not the point. Just watch from 0:58. He clearly agrees (even when he’s the one playing the game) that the sounds she makes sounds sexual.
Which is one thing if you can’t see the gameplay but comes off as very strange if you have the context.
TBF Nathan Drake made plenty of noises/grunts as well. I think it comes with the territory when you're getting thrown around ancient ruins and falling off mountains.
this is a personal one of mine but for me my choice used to be Hatsune Miku Project Diva, i used to be so embarrassed that i love Hatsune Miku and vocaloid as much as i do but over time, i've become such a huge fan of Hatsune Miku and vocaloid in general that i've grown to not care what people say about it (i love what i love) Don't let other people make fun of you for what you like :)
Honestly I never realized that with Tomb Raider until this video, and no I am far from innocent.
As a gamer, im not scared to play any game around any person. If i like the game, ima play it.
Testify!
the most fun video of the channel by faaaaaaaaaar!!!!!
25:38 um actually Stellar Blade's protagonist, she's a 3D model of a real-life model. A woman who really exists.
Her body scan is just a basis. They still clearly enhanced her physique more in the game to better fit every animation while still showcasing her proportions.
