Oh I already got those then. I'll have to check a guide to see what i'm missing for plat, though I wonder if they're part of the legends storyteller stuff which I haven't touched. Nope. Looks like its just the lighthouses I need to do.

Oh i did that as soon I discovered it existed. The hardest part was finding enough flowers to get the armor dye. It's funny how I saw the headband for it and didn't realized what it was, or the Infamous headband too.

Yeah there are a number of things in the game where if you bow at them it creates a particle effect, shrines and graves and similar things. You might have seen some with a "bow" sign near some of them.

Also I'm glad I wasn't the only one who got the wrong grave. I felt kinda dumb when I realised.

Non anime gamers complaining about horniness is the equivalent of weebs scolding people for playing military shootmans or bringing up some blurb they read about "crunch time" every time the game is mentioned for all eternity, even though everyone is already aware of it. People can't just dislike something they need some sort of moral high ground for disliking it because this is the internet.

Also I don't even like anime, but I think it's funny how much flak those games get for even the mildest horniness when you have stuff like cyberpunk that is literally full of full frontal nudity and no one cares. Some anime stuff is p gross though, but that's mostly the weird poo poo that only people from the Vita thread would play.

Havent played cyberpunk but I will probably roll my eyes at all the nudity in it too. Witcher 3 had a bunch of bad sex scenes and let's not even start on bioware games. It's not just anime that has excessive horniness but in anime it seems to be more inextricably ingrained into the fabric of the medium.

My problem with horny in games is that it is always fan service and never serves to improve the game experience, only detracts from it. Could you imagine trying to play HZD with Aloy's tits and arse hanging out and trying to take her seriously as a character? How annoying would it be if every time you went to level up in Bloodborne some bint in a bunny suit went teehee and bounced her boobs in your face? If you could adjust horny in games like you could difficulty I'd turn it down every time

that wasn't aimed directly at you or anyone specific. Just a lot of goons in general tend to get really self righteous about things they don't like.

My rule is that if the horniness level in your game starts making me think more about the developer's fetishes than the actual video game, it's probably too much and you should turn it down. There are a certain subset of gamers and developers who just demand maximum tits at all times and I can't relate.

Yea that's kind of how I feel. I am totally down with some sexy characters and stuff in games if i'm not constantly thinking of the foot fetish that someone on the development team has.

Or if it really seems antithesis to the character, like aforementioned Aloy or sexy Shelob, but I can accept Quiet because MGS is such a silly series that half naked plant sniper lady doesn't seem like it is out of place. I mean, not like the first sexy character in a Kojima game, Big Boss or Norman Reedus.

I honestly am probably more sympathetic to the idea of Quiet's character design than the average, but the whole "living in a cage on mother base where the soldiers gawk at her showering" was probably over the line for me

There's a lot to be said about the terrifying effects of contemporary 'clean' war on civilian women and children living in poverty/precarity, and one day when the interactive medium is ready I'm sure someone will make a mature and respectful statement that confronts such horrors, but it won't be Hideo Kojima.

So you're saying that there's no context in which a female character could be naked in a game (shower/swimming/escaping from a lab a la' 5th Element) or show off their body (maybe a cultural armor or skintight venom-symbiote style costume) that you wouldn't find contrived or fan-servicey? What about nude dudes? Are video games a strictly asexual environment for you? Is there any distinction between Nudity and Horny?

I'm asking because I really thought I was anti-horny in games to basically this degree but the sex in TW3 and Cyberpunk 2077 doesn't really bother me at all because it's handled in ways that are specifically hypernormalized and not taboo. Like even as a teen I hated Lulu's design in FFX and was the only 14 year old boy going "This doesn't make any sense for a woman who lives on a tropical island, get some jeans, gurl" and the romance/sex scenes in Mass Effect are legit painful for me to playthrough, but then when sexuality is handled as a core component of the character (Bayonetta) I find that I am totally on board! If the character is designed to be in control of that and the writing is cheeky (!) or slick enough then I tend to be into it! The sex scenes in 2077 or TW3 reflect a more realistic portrayal of adult sexual situations and aren't as transparently "horny" in the teen weeb anime sense, to me.

Does that make sense to anyone else? Bayonetta, TW3, and 2077 are the games that I think best handle sexual subtext and themes in an inoffensive way compared to video games where you can, like, try to bang all your friends for achievements and gamify sex.

EDIT: The sex scenes in The Last of Us 2 enhance the game by adding to the narrative pretty significantly, IMO
