I love that the pic on the right looks uncomfortable. That’s a customer service smile, an “a man told me to smile and I don’t feel like fighting him right now” smile, a “the photographer is really creepy but this is my job” smile
It feels like ppl that post these takes have been watching too much hentai: giant tits that defy gravity, waists with no ribs, attracted to ugly bastards that just exist, etc.
I looked at BGrizzy1989’s tweets so no one else has to, and hooboy. Pro-Trump, transphobic, anti-woke, fat-shaming. As one might expect, it takes a pretty gross human being to freak out about less-than-supermodel looks on a video game character.
Probably the same people that mod those games to make the female character to look like overinflated balloons. I looked for interesting Horizon mods recently and a stupid amount of them were Aloy “enhancements” that defy realism in any way.
Based on this image and a similar one I saw…it’s makeup. They want female characters to wear makeup. They either don’t know that makeup is what makes them, “hot,” or they realized that it’s stupid for a space outlaw or a robot-apocalypse survivalist to be wearing a full face of makeup, so they have to say they’re ugly. Either way, these people don’t fuck.
LOL, yes, exactly. This is the kind of thing you learn about women when you have a girlfriend for more than a month. I think most of these guys don’t realize they’re telling on themselves when they complain about these, “ugly,” characters.
Ehh… third pic happened to me with a coworker a few years ago. I’ve never commented on or thought much about her make up, but one day she got to work and her lips were much paler than usual, so I asked her if she was ok and she told me she hadn’t put on her makeup yet.
The overall view of beauty in women is already heavily skewed in general.
I still remember when that cop got caught fucking half her coworkers and 90% of the comments about it were about how she was mid when she was actually quite pretty.

I felt similarly. I know people are meaner online than in person. And I have personally known several people who just have ridiculously high beauty standards.
I didn’t understand it. As a heterosexual man, most women look good to me.
I think it’s like Americans and sugar. So much of our food is sweetened that we have to add extra sugar to our desserts and we think things that have added sugar don’t. Like our bread is too damn sweet. In a society where women are expected to wear makeup, and where most women on tv are gorgeous to the point that beautiful women play “ugly” characters our balance is thrown off. Porn doesn’t help I’m sure, but when it comes to distorting beauty standards, it can’t compare to tv, movies, and influencers. When women groom only enough to be clean it’s treated as strange. It has well known harm for girls and young women and that aspect is spreading to boys and young men. But what we see here is a different form of harm, it’s the loss of taste for what is real and natural, and in the off chance these people find themselves waking up next to a woman they’re in for a bad time.
You mean the game character doesn’t have perfect makeup and hair? Almost like she’s an outlaw on the run? Isn’t that the whole point of the game? Sounds like you think any woman who didn’t spend an hour preparing for you ahead of time is “ugly” lol
Personally I think the character above is ugly because she looks like she’s (We’re told it’s a she; honestly looks like a 14 year old boy with 70’s hair) made out of candle wax.
If they’re going for a “realistic” style, they’re achieving GameCube era results. If they’re going with an “art style” look, they’re just outright bad at it, they’ve splashed down in the river at the bottom of the uncanny valley.
Me? I wouldn’t play this game simply because it’s got a gigacorporation-owned license. There is going to be no creativity, artistry, or vision behind it, it’s this year’s bucket of marketably familiar copyrighted stimuli designed to channel wealth from humans to shareholders. Honestly, would anyone be interested in this game if it didn’t have the branding and the sound effects library?
The ugly part is the price for the special editions. I’m sure there’s going to be some ugly surprises post launch. I’ll wait a few months and see what it’s like then.
Looking at a quick gameplay video, it doesn’t look like one.
But then Ubisoft have done this bullshit since about AC Unity where they have a single player game, with maybe half a dozen multiplayer missions in it, advertises to both single player and multiplayer enjoyers, and manages to appeal to neither group.
There was one in FC6 you could do solo, and right near the end my PS5 disconnected from the internet and reset all my progress, so I never touched that fucking bullshit ever again. Shame, because it was an interesting dinosaur theme park level that wasn’t present in the main game.
New low point… Intimidated by the chick that’s actually interesting. Look how ugly shes is when piloting a spaceship and fighting bandits. No one could ever think that’s hot, riiiiiight ?
I’ve seen a couple of pics of the character and god damn she is soooooo my type. At that point I’m guessing every women that’s doesn’t look a 12 years old or have gigantic boobs and some asian baby face are considered ugly by “gamers”? Are all the gamer’s mom ugly?
Right! My first thought was that this character (I know nothing about this game/franchise) is hot as hell.
Nobody is ever going to be everyone’s type, so who cares if she’s not “hot” to these gamerbros. The writers, artists and devs are focused on making a good character and a good game. It’s not like this is a dating sim designed to provide fan service to a wide audience, I’m guessing based on the genre, this character is not there to turn you on, so who cares if she doesn’t.
If you can’t stand to play a game without a character you find hot in it, That’s what cosmetic mods are for.
Let the rest of us have our sexy soft butch women, and our realistic examples of what women look like.
70$ for a gimped version of the game. They deliberately took out content (season pass, 2 extra missions, etc.), make you wait an arbitrary amount of days longer to play and are not giving you the stuff that we used to get for free like art books.
Simps will always run the show with regards to gaming. It’s the only thing they feel they have control over. So when a game doesn’t have a 15 year old waifu with double D’s, it’s instantly trashed.
Except they don’t have any control over it and just whine loudly. At this point, it wouldn’t surprise me if a game becomes popular because the makers push back against these losers.
They have enough control to cause a lot of developers to either not have women protagonists at all, or to make them supermodels just to cater to the neckbeards.
We’ve only just now gotten to the point where gender is becoming irrelevant in games. We’re decades away from the simps allowing normal looking female protagonists in “their” games without protesting/boycotting.
Which is usualy what pepole are really complaining about . But somehow instead of saying graphics look like shit pepole will complain that main character is ugly, probably beacuse they dont know any better. Its similar case with the little mermaid for example where first and foremost you will see that main character was black but when you watch a professional critic the first thing ypu will see is that the film is extremely dark. Sp dark that its hard to see shit and thats probably a bigger reason why pepole are complaining. Ultimately there is very little complains about race gender or whatewer the fuck is actually controversial at the moment when the movie is good.
Agreed, people weren’t mad because Aloy wasn’t ray-traced heavily enough, they were mad she matched the game’s art-style and aesthetic instead of looking like the babe with huge cans from Underage Panty Quest XVII or whatever
I disagree. Alghtough it might be country specifc for me. But generaly pepole dont know shit and atrribute bad movies flaw to being ‘woke’ whereas truth is its quite often the writing or technical issue ( but lets not kid ourselfs. The reason they atrribute race as an issue is actualy because they are racist ).
It is a screenshot from a youtube video posted by someone who had an inherent interest in making the character look bad. If you have watched the trailer you will know the picture is not representative of how the character actually looks in game.
