The breast slider thing is dumb though, if they'd left it in a grand total of zero people would have actually cared.

When BAYONETTA 2 was still introducing new enemy variants up until the final level I knew it was a very special game.

Enemy variety is such an important part of action-based games and way too many games neglect it. Like, Halo has basically been using the same enemy types for the last 7 games with only minor variations and additions

Ya. Platinum is one of the only devs who has the balls to actually put a significant amount of content into the last third of their games. Go look at trophy stats for most games, half of all players here dont even get past the second or third level. This doesn't seem true for japanese games though, maybe a cultural difference? Anyway, my point is that western devs front load all their good stuff and its stupid. gently caress America

Pretty much. I understand the logic behind altering Lin the potato's costumes, but I don't understand removing character creation sliders because all it's done is cause a shitstorm.

It's pretty overly puritanical to remove the boob slider, yeah. It's not even a pervy thing, bust size does contribute to the overall look of a character. But acknowledging that boobs are a thing is bad so it's gotta go.

It was kinda messed up that the only sliders you have are height and boob. If you're skinny or fat you can't make yourself, only short to tall and how long and messed up your boobs are.

I don't think it's really caused a shitstorm among anyone but absolute weirdos. I doubt it'll dent the game's sales at all.

Leaving it in probably wouldn't dent the game's sales either, but you'd probably have seen several reviews pointing out how awkward it is. Maybe they just weighed "screaming anime avatars on twitter" versus "press coverage of the game makes it seem creepy" and decided they could live with the first option.

If your game has only two body sliders, you should probably make them height and weight. Boob doesn't really need to come into the picture until you've got several sliders in the mix.

Also, if your game has only two body sliders, you should probably make sure all possible combinations look good, since there's only two axes to contend with. The max boob option looked downright stupid.

This is a good point, doesn't make sense to not include sliders so your character can be a fat tub of lard with a neckbeard that can't walk more than 50 feet due to their IBS and can't explore New Los Angeles due to the overwhelming feeling of anxiety of being in public. Basically ,me

Saying no would have cared if they left the boob slider in, but people would care if they took it out rings a little hollow when you look at the response to when it was first revealed. They took it out because it looked silly, not a big mystery here folks.

I don't think this is worth feelings or discussion stronger than that it was a little silly to make such a limited character creator and/or for NoA to be afraid of a game they published to have the word "bust" in it, and it's really silly seeing people trying to present it as a serious body-shaming thing one way or the other.

The colloquial concept of censorship (rude 'n' lewd things being made less rude 'n' lewd) is different than the legal concept of censorship (a government or other authouritative force limiting someone's speech) and the two should not be conflated. Treating these distinct concepts interchangeably is how you get anime avatar nerds who think it's against the first amendment for a game developer to voluntarily remove panty shots from their own game.
