Haven't played dragon's crown. But do the female characters actually have any personality at all? or just walking *** and *** obviously meant to cater to the typical guy?


the main characters dont talk at all so MUHSOGYNY
So yeah, *** and *** with no personality purely to cater to the typical male gamer.

That's the problem they have with it.

So it's all about the character having a strong personality then. Doesn't matter if they are a *** or not just that they talk and act like,


Obviously I know that's a gross over simplification but think we should stop this in RT lol this thread needs happy thoughts!

Technically, everything is art. Subjective is as subjective does.

I mean it is, and you have a negative opinion about that but its just an opinion. If you dont like the game dont support it and if its so morally abhorrent they'll lose bajillions of dollhairs in righteous justice.


or nobody cares

Not trying to defend the game or chara designs, because no matter how they are viewed ultimately they were designed to appeal to a certain player demographic, but purely within the context of the game itself the 'style' of it seems to be trying for a 'painterly' type effect.



The overall 'look' of the game seems to draw inspiration from Boris Vallejo/Frank Frazetta style oil paintings as well as Baroque-style artists like Reubens, et al.

Again, that doesn't excuse the choice of designs (as even those artists, both contemporary and Baroque, feature half-naked women with boobs falling out as themes) but it does seem to actually be a style that was chosen for emulation for the "look and feel" of the game. In that context, it's hard to say that those particularly exaggerated features stand out quite so clearly when viewed in a screenshot instead of a stand-alone chara image no?

I mean... boobs are bad and you should all feel bad!

Also, appearance in this country is everything. If she went to a job interview looking like that she'd probably... well, she'd probably get hired immediately, depending on who's doing the interviewing.

But I digress.

I can see both sides of the argument, and it would be nice to see a female protagonist in a game that isn't being whipped into a sex toy. That would be a huge step in the right direction. We kinda had that in the latest Tomb Raider, but she was still a little oversexualized.

I'm sure the beefcakes sold the game to an overwhelmingly hetero male demographic. My apologies.

First off, is it bad that I'd like to see a female protagonist in a Legend of Zelda game? Not skimpy, not Link, but a female hero. I can't really think of any LoZ game where it blatantly states that Link and Zelda end up together so I don't see how it'd be much of an issue in Zelda's sexual preference. I think, much like Pokemon, the protagonist of the gender you didn't pick should make an appearance as an ally of sorts.


Secondly, last night our concrete saw was stolen we just noticed it today and I learned that when our equipment is stolen, basically my dad is stolen from, I think some evil ***. "I hope they start it up and it cuts off their hands/feet/head." "Hopefully, they try to start it and it blows up and blows their *** off but leaves their balls so they still have urges they can't fulfill." >.> I'm a horrible person.

You now live in a world where every protagonist/antagonist is genderbent. Go.

Japanese game and they're still pretty against same sex marriage so allowing it in 14 is kind of a big deal

You mean what many people thought they were going to get with the upcoming Zelda game at first?

Says the dude with 2 video game females making out as an avatar lol

I cant speak for all male gaemers with playstation plus and 3 free gigabytes on my sd card but that sorceress' appearance had absolutely no bearing on my decision to download it and I did end up maining her solely because I liked the sorceress' skillset

In the end I'd say you know more about jerkin off to pixel chicks though so I'll defer judgement on this vile filth to you.

Right, but it shouldn't be an issue at all in this case, Link and Zelda never enter a romantic relationship in any game to my knowledge so playing as a female protagonist doesn't make Zelda a lesbian because "The protagonist has to end up with Zelda, it's a rule!"

I don't quite understand how Link (usually a country bumpkin who becomes a hero) is expected to become the lover of Zelda (Hylian royalty).

EDI: Also, no. I don't want a female Link, I want a comparable female hero. >.>
