No he just balked at the suggestion that the character looks slutty but didn't offer and evidence of explanation to the contrary

This conversation is not constructive so I don't wish to continue it. I don't see how my posts highlighting a obviously highly problematic issue in a video game could be considered "bad" other than people seem to have been offended by it.

fridge corn posted:

There is a distinct difference in agency between an actual human being choosing to wear revealing clothing and a fictional character being designed that way

I never said the character was a slut, I was refering to her appearance and its intention to titillate

Maybe don't phrase it like your moral values are rooted in the late 19th century, and you're angry that a woman has deigned to show skin below her neck. Also you're throwing the word 'slut' around without a clue as to its proper use, because it's a description of character personality rather than appearance. It can be inferred from a combination overtly-clothing and/or attitude, but baring some skin in of itself doesn't inherently make someone slutty. None of us have disagreed that 2B's outfit is very sexually-influenced, but you've just taken it to a dumb place.

So this is all a big misunderstanding. I referred to 2B being slutty (as in slut-like) and looking like she was dressed for a co-ed Halloween party, but I wasn't using the term in a derogatory manner. In the context of a co-ed Halloween party, sluttiness is more or less appropriate. In the context of the video game, sluttiness is inappropriate. In no way did i mean to convey that sluttiness was an objectively bad thing, though i find it weird that people became so defensive over a perceived slight on the characters personality

Oh poo poo, BTW, the free DLC campaign for Gravity Rush 2 is out now! You play as Raven, during the time from the first game where she got separated from Kat while riding the ark back to Hekseville. There's also another downloadable outfit for Kat (which is also free). It's not the Automata crossover of 2B's outfit though, they still haven't given a date for that.

PSO2 collaboration stuff coming out outside of Japan without PSO2 itself is pretty screwed up.

That said, I feel PSO2 is collapsing under the weight of adding new features but without removing old ones and I haven't really enjoyed playing it in months.

New features that people do for a total of two weeks (see: Vegas rideroid quests) and then ignore while they idle in the lobby for EQs like always and wait for the next update in three months time. Sega mismanage that game something fierce.

Oh well, at least we get good music out of it.

Fun fact, that outfit was "designed" for Gunners, who have a lot of moves that involve doing the splits. Yeaaah. It's pretty much only the one they picked to put in GR2 because it's called "Crazy Kitten", with Kat's Japanese name being Kitten.

Huh, it looks like they removed the Dark Angel costume from the store?? Guess I just got lucky and managed to grab it before that.

EDIT: Yeah, they definitely took it down for some reason. God knows why. Here's a tripod selfie of what it looks like:

We've been circlejerking about all the glitches they managed to introduce to KH2 over in the Kingdom Hearts thread. They've patched the most egregious ones, but it still sometimes hard-crashes when you're trying to save, which is excellent.

Avoid until they fix the game, they managed to gently caress it up so it crashes on saving of all things, losing hours of progress as a result.

It's Sooooo good. Funniest game I've ever played.
The inconsistency of tone is something that wouldn't work in most series.

One minute you're watching a super serious cut scene about gangland killings, the next you're protecting Michael Jackson from zombies as he moonwalks through the streets.

So so good.

When Yakuza 0 came out, I'd just finished playing through 2, 3, 4, Dead Souls, and 5 in the span of about a month and a half (I beat 1 a year or so ago), so I decided to take a breather since I was kind of burnt out on the series.

I'm super excited to get into it though, it sounds like it's continuing the tradition of every game in the series being more fun than the last one (I like 3 shut up)

I have played them all but there's no way I would play them back to back like that, they're too similar to each other.

Honestly I think 0 and Kiwami came out too close to each other in Japan; they run together in my head.

Yeah every Yakuza game I play runs the same course where I play it for like 110 hours doing everything I can, hitting some kind of call in completion score (this time it was Mahjong), then shelving the game for a couple months and going back to it when I feel up to it again. I just picked it back up and cleared out Amon, who's probably the easiest he's ever been in this game.

Your avatar reminded me that Musou Stars comes out next week here. All the games I have been playing recently are all intellectual and poo poo comapred to that, so I'd like a change of pace.

Mass Effect: Andromeda
Dark Souls 3 DLC and maybe Rain World on the 28th
Persona 5
Nioh DLC
