What will arguing about it accomplish?

It may convince more people to be vocal about it. If more people are vocal about it, something good will get done.

But I like boob physics. Boobs are wonderful. This is a great thing.

It's not a perfect solution but it's better than taking things as they are and doing nothing. If you have a more effective alternative I'll gladly make use of it.

Not buying the game will send more of a message than complaining about it here. That'll remind them that they won't get your money if you don't like how they design the game. You've made your point, I get my fanservice, everybody wins. (Well, mostly me. But there's really not a whole lot a few anonymous internet guys on an obscure forum completely unrelated to Street Fighter could do about it anyway.)

You know, I'm kinda tired of really buff, fit dudes with either perfect faces or amazing beards being the norm of the game industry. It offends my own dadbod self.

Where's my ring of virgin white nights crying about mysandry in the game world?

i already did on an earlier page, you DOUBLE FAGGOT

I feel like Japanese devs are starting to sort of culturally fall behind Western devs--and as much as I'm hyped for MGS V, at least part of it feels behind the times:

I cr vr tym

Where, I missed it.

Someone brought up Zangief, and I was like, "Uh, yeah, he's probably over-sexualized, too. What's your point?"

I was mostly being facetious, because the fact is, it's a lot harder and less common for men to be sexualized in a video game. It just is. Therefore, it's inherently less of an issue.

But there are still games with male fanservice, though. I don't deny that. Take Metal Gear, Devil May Cry, and even Super Smash Bros.--Shulk has a color in which he is shirtless, and that really just seems like needless pandering.

Male sexualization is a problem, too. Just not as much.

MGS gave me body issues as a child.

But isn't Zangief a wrestler? Most wrestler dress like Zangief.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying--I was being facetious just to help illustrate my point.

I don't consider Zangief to be sexualized--but that doesn't mean I don't think some male characters are pandering.

Like... Dante.

Also hypermasculine and a stereotype of the "perfect" build, overly accentuated muscles and a physically impossible standard for most men.

Not that I care about overexaggeration in a cartoon-y style of art, but I'm just assuming that's the point that's being made.

Like I said--I don't actually consider Zangief to be "problematic". I just rolled with his example because I was short on time.

and you should care about overexaggeration

there's exaggeration
and then there's overexaggeration

which implies an excess
which implies "too much"
which implies... bad

I don't mind boob physics if it's grounded in realism.

Like, when a female runs and has an ample size, they're gonna move slightly (or a lot if not wearing a sports bra or some shit, whatever). Adding that in game isn't too bad.

I know DoA does it simply for being over the top and crazy.

The thing about it is that, where do you draw the line between over-the-top and acceptable?

This is why I just prefer no breast physics, at all, ever.

There's no arm flab physics in video games--there's no need for breast physics. At all.

Well breasts are far more obvious than arms honestly in terms of physics. And arm flag isn't really an obvious thing, ever, unless they're saggy.

I know they bounce in FF 14 when you have loose fitting cloth, but if you have armor on they don't.

Don't think that contributes to the conversation, just pointing it out.

I could go on. Are there dick physics in games? I don't see any anywhere. Would that make you comfortable? Is that level of realism integral to the experience?

idk, I just don't buy the realism argument

Are there dick physics in games?

Saints Row did it first

Make men boobies bouncy
