If I made a game the protagonist would be a NEET that plays video games all day and spams memes.
Quote from: A Cheese Potato on September 23, 2016, 07:53:19 AMI kind of agree to some extent, in that in a lot of games the female characters just look like sexy cosplay costumes and the male characters just look normal.In all fairness, calling them "normal" is stretching it. It's definitely true that your average woman isn't always slender with big boobs and perfect hair like they usually are in video games, but I think it's hard to deny that your typical male protagonist isn't that representative for your average guy either. They're almost always tall, large, scruffy, brawny, very muscular and with perfect facial features, which your average man definitely is not. The video raises a decent point about diversity, but I think that your stereotypical male protagonist is just as far removed from your average guy as is the case with the female counterpart.

Zarya isn't thicc, she's сильный.

i watched the videowhat exactly do you disagree with verb
I'm really just against all pandering--to any crowd ever. Make the game you want to make, and then I'll judge it from there. Don't make the game that you think other people will necessarily enjoy--or you, for that matter. Imagine if people wrote books like they design video games. It would be retarded.
