motherfu asian tastes? "we like our women objectified and ridiculously endowed sorry it's our tastes!" i don't think so!!! fucking

that picture is so fucking stupid and bad. i know it's not official but from what i gather they are gonna do something like that with the japanese release. i mean i refuse to believe that the vast majority of japanese gamers (i just used the word gamers unironically and it feels very strange) will look at the box for mirrors edge and think "well i WOULD buy it but she doesn't look like a 10 year old cartoon girl with huge tits and an applebutt" and even if they will who cares, do better!

the reason this actually annoys me is i've been checking this out i've been thinking "man this is cool they are doing a female player character who while looking a little stupid is not turned into a sex object at all!" i mean she's good looking obviously all game characters try to be good looking but it's not gratuitous or insulting to anybody's intelligence and now it seems like they're just saying NAaaaah fuck it give her some double D's that'll shift the units heh heh

haha you think a vg character is good looking

i.......i......

ahahahahhah they added a nipple.

First picture looks like she actually is punching a dude (or a large crab person or whatever it's supposed to be)

Second picture looks like she meant to punch and is surprised because she grabbed a large schlong instead

but yeah both are really unrealistic it's just that the first picture is more like some American comic book and the second is like a manga whatever they're both going for completely fantastical comic book feel either way

big deal.

anime-like quote

i don't really see what is so quotable about this

all it proves arcan, vanit, and the dude

I was arguing against the anime chick, thanks.

Also...

big breasts? How is she supposed to be badass at wall climbing?

Oh wait, Lara Croft. 

Why does her appearance matter?  It's a fucking first-person game.

I think the debate was over a fanfic revisioning of game art, actually, not the game itself.

Maybe she was trying to punch a giant schlong that was infested with large crabs . . .

that's really got nothing to do with the distaste at changing the character's appearance. it's not about "oh man i don't want to a look at nipples when i'm playing this gross!" or whatever, nobody cares whether you'll see her in game or not. it's the idea that women need to have huge tits and have anime faces to be marketable. it's just a sexist kind of attitude that you only get one kind of female videogame character and they have to be defined mostly by how titilating they are. it's gross lame and stupid. if the character of this game had always looked like this female game character i'm describing, i don't think anyone would have said anything cos there wouldn't be anything to do except ignore it cos it's stupid, but the annoyance comes from her being a heck reasonably proportioned woman? there are very few female game characters who the first thing you notice about isn't how big their tits are or how skimpy their outfit is, and she was one of them so it was cool. then people heard they were gonna scrap that cool aspect of this game and replace it with the stuff we (or i was, anyway) giving this game some credit for avoiding.

and actually i can't remember now whether they are actually changing the box art for japan but even if they aren't the points are still relevant even if not directly to this game.

big deal.

if you're talking about the change in appearance then i don't know why you come to a forum like this. if you are going to sit back and say "heh games don't matter quit getting pissy" then just don't post. it's not about whether this thing matters in the grander sense, because obviously it doesn't, it matters very little, but as far as this game goes this is something worth talking about and just saying who cares is the opposite of discussion so don't do it.

if you meant big deal in response to something else then nevermind.

Take an apathy pill and SHUT UP PLEASE geez....

It's a well known fact that Bioshock only sold in japan because of it's high Loli count.

ROFLL OL HILARIOUS YE I AGr8 YES hAALOLLLLL

Okay, so the interaction with the environment looks great, but what about the combat? Let's not forget what made assassin's creed and the 3d prince of persia games so boring.
