If you think that violence is normalized as bad then you're wrong. We literally have politicians arguing in favor of torture, something frequently shown in games to be Good and Works.
What about the sexual elements not in sex scenes? You seem okay with those, or at least not enough that you don't call it a bad game. There are plenty of ridiculous costumes in Witcher 3. Or is it only a problem if it's the playable character and you're okay with extreme sexualization as long as you're playing a man?

The problem isn't that you're criticizing this. I would agree with that. It's that rather than a genuine desire to discuss it you just want to complain, but only to complain about things you dislike while giving passes to things you like. You're a coward who is only willing to take a critical standpoint when it doesn't actually apply to things you like, and then try to use that to whine at other people instead of actually caring about the issue you claim to care about.

edit: And personally I still believe that the "you'll be ashamed of your words and deeds" thing referred to big boss' super hostile actions toward quiet in the game and not the controversy that happened in real life (because i mean, he does throw her in a jail cell and support the idea of merc-ing her), but that's neither here nor there

Nah it's cause you throw acid on her which forces her into her new naked life

Literally the fuckbot made for one of the minor characters in the series, who you kill. Then later Joker wants to gently caress her and doesn't see the irony
Actually now that I think about it, isn't it Joker who basically goes "well hey, we happen to have just recovered a fuckbot from Doctor Evil or whatever, EDI do you wanna try it out"

It's basically a whole miniplot about the ethics of robot loving as an excuse to have you walk around with a fuckbot lol

That's fine but this isn't the Witcher 3 thread and also it isn't the Nier thread, so if you're going to make weird angry elephant-in-the-room comments about one game here then I assume you can make them about another game too.

It's cool. I just find it weird that people are laughing at all the creepy care mad alt-righters from gamefaqs in the Horizon thread, but in here everyone's hyped for Nier but very little acknowledgement of the connection between the two

Because there is no actual connection between the two. Nobody in the Nier thread is going "At last! A game for me, free of the scourge of SJWs" and also the last two games made by the same director explicitly contained material that made fun of those kinds of people and I am willing to bet Nier Automata does too.

So what you're saying is, if one of the main characters in a game wearing a skirt that is too short is not a dealbreaker for someone, they're on the same moral level as "creepy care mad alt-righters" who are angry about SJWs "ruining games" or whatever?

Cool, glad we had this talk.

Yes, but at the same time catering to them more heavily than detracting. Go look at the Nier: Automata board on gamefaqs and see if anything stands out to you.

I'm excited for Nier as well, looks like a fun game. If you don't like that she's kinda naked, go gently caress yourself and play a different game.

I think you can write romantic relationships in games well but not from the vantage of providing sexual gratification to the player, which is what most end up becoming.
