There was one singular speeder chase in Return of the Jedi. And the heroes were the ones chasing! They accidentally tipped off troopers while trying to sneak into a base and had to chase them down to stop them from reporting in that they’d seen rebels on Endor. They were chasing the scout troopers, not trying to evade them. These people don’t even know what is happening in the stories they’re copying.

The main character and the sith inquisitor from Jedi fallen order has the exact same face as they do in real life. So it’s obvious they are doing that on purpose. Oh and Rags I don’t feel the need to have sex with every women that acknowledges my presence. So yes I will not sleep with Aloy nor any of these actresses from these videos games.

@@Tacti_cat So many of chat and folks consider Horizon 2 Aloy/Outlaws Protag Girl as ugly as Nikado Avocado, to me they look fine. I see that sentiment EVERYWHERE so I can understand how grating it gets. The protags being "literally ugly" could be hyperbolic but it seems more people unironically think they are low-tier in looks. Ironically Dev talks about how much discussion about Outlaws is centered around the looks of the protagonist (which is fine if not basic as hell and much like so many "newbie marvel girls") and yet most of the comments here is focused on the looks even though to me and many others think they are okay. I still can see yur gripes with Theo, though he didn't call EFAP chat grass-less gemlins, he started off saying folks in the Internet, a bit later he does refer to some of the chat 'were they to use hyperbolic statements repeatedly to the point it's hard to see them as hyperbolic and just unironic thoughts'. I still see it as a Theo problem but I kinda agree with him given how reductive and constant the complaints are brought up. Some say it is a much more nuanced discussion but that sadly gets overshadowed by people saying the protags are ugly trolls which confuses me. If it's any consolation, I still wish and hope the EFAP guys would tackle the discussion and look it with better faith by looking at better examples of the studio meddling of female characters compared to their actresses. And I also am curious what they will say if certain guests try to bring up the discussion, especially if they express it in the same manner as so many in chat/comments/sites. With that said this was a fun EFAP looking at all the failures of this game.

I kinda hate people using Aloy as a consistent example, because sure there’s a bit of a difference, but it’s not a stark difference like MJ or Kay or Female Ryder way back in Mass Effect Andromeda in 2017. Then there’s also retroactively changing characters like the custom character in Pokémon Go. And more recently Dragon Age Veilguard where the “max” breasts/butt size isn’t even the average for women. But otherwise I agree. Just think people should use more blatant examples. It’s like EFAP doesn’t want to give the people noticing a “win” for whatever reason. Even though it’s verifiably and observably true. Maybe they’re trying to distance themselves from being given the same “ist” labels that people get for pointing this out, but they’ve gotten that and much worse, so I can’t imagine that being the case. Seems like this sort of dissmissiveness/denialism happened around the Dead Space remake bathroom thing (and other changes). You can argue they’re “small and don’t matter”, but it’s still correct that they were changed, and for political/financial reasons if you look into the developers’ ideology and certain initiatives that every company is trying to cater to. Even the faces. Why do they have to reflect the current age of the voice actors? Why does Isaac have to look like his VA now? It’s not like The Simpson’s where you can clearly tell the difference in voice because it’s been 30 years. The remake was maybe 15 years after. A fair amount of time but not horrendous. Plus, the characters weren’t supposed to be in their 50’s, and the line passed around “he’s supposed to be a professional of his craft” is junk. You can be a pro (or at least quite knowledgeable) in your 30’s. Don’t know if they parroted that last line, I just remember it being an excuse.

To be fair... they also did weird stuff to Peter's character model in Spider-Man 2 and the PS5 upgrade for the first game. In Resident Evil 8, Chris Redfield was unrecognisable. It's more obvious and prevalent with women, but there's examples of male characters getting smooshed too. Thankfully, Abe from Abe's Odyssey remains unscathed.

I don’t think the group fully grasps the ugly-ifying women stuff. It’s not just that they’re way off-model, it’s that they’re changing existing characters to look uglier intentionally. They’re restricting character customization to limit attractive options. They’re dressing characters poorly. Because attractive characters are now considered “problematic.” The takes here were rather reductive for a real problem.

@@axson8 The devs talked about this in a preview interview with Kotaku/IGN. They wanted Vess to look "harsh," like a classic SW "rogue." I think this is why her nose has that slight kink, like it was broken and didn't heal right, why they made her jawline/chin exaggerated, and why her cheeks are flat. I still don't know why people think it's a conspiracy. Maybe they didn't intend on making her ugly, but Ubi seemed to indicate the goal was to make Vess more "grizzled" than the mo-cap actress.

I think the efap crew's problem with Uglification argument is that they see people like Syntheticman or Andypantsgaming championing these argument, and immediately dismiss it as bad or shallow criticism. They don't dig in to why gamers complain about uglification of women, and assume gamers who use this criticism believe that a game is bad because the women are ugly, when in truth gamers who use this criticism just use it as a signifier of other things. Compare for example face scans of Cal Kestis from Jedi survivor/fallen order with Kay Vess, and you'll notice how Cal has a near perfect scan while Kay has accentuated masculine features. you might say different studios, okay then compare Joseph Seed from Far cry 5 with Kay. older game and lower budget and still Joseph has near perfect face scan. Mind you this isn't isolated to ubisoft. The new fable game has a horrid female face scan. At the end of the day, uglified women in gaming is the same as female protagonist in movies. it's not really the problem, but just an omen of bad quality. Take for example the new animated LOTR series coming up, did the crew not become cautious when they heard the protagonist of the story is an unnamed female character?

Nah, I stand by my statement that Kay is the ugliest Star Wars character since Rose Tico. In both cases the character's facial bone structure isn't the problem: which appears to be all you guys are concerned with (while Aloy's redesign IS a facial structure problem). Both of their hairstyles are horrible, and both of their outfits are frumpy which *does* make the characters ugly. Characters aren't people. Artists creating OCs should be concerned with the character's figure, hairstyle, and outfit because *these* are the things that make characters iconic. *They* are the reason you can recognize Han, Luke, and Leia from their silhouettes alone. The designers made the characters look cool and unique and therefore when the IP gained popularity they became *iconic.* Outlaw's devs consciously chose to present their character this way and there is nothing wrong for calling it what it is: *ugly.* Had they given her a classic ponytail, some eyeshadow and lip-gloss, and put her in a colorful tight fitting outfit instead of bargain-bin clothes then gamers would be creaming instead of screaming about her. They didn't want to give fans what fans come to entertainment to get. Which has been the problem with SW this whole fing time.

The whole "Female faces are ugly" isn't about whether or not the end result would overall be considered attractive or not. That is a strawman of what is actually happening, The issue is they are seemingly deliberately (well, we know the reason, "muh male gaze") botching/altering the facial scans of real people that they are supposedly using for reference, when anybody with any knowledge of the industry can see that the "it's too hard" argument is complete BS. Plenty of studios have managed to make facial scans almost exact, and your quiet from MGSV is from a decade ago is an excellent example, and it's not just the eastern gaming industry that can replicate faces like that. The technology is there, and there's plenty of evidence to show that it's possible and relatively normal for a competant studio. Look at the Dead Space remake, Isaac Clarke is the spitting image of Gunner Wright, SuperMassive's entire library, (and for an eastern dev that's been doing this for ages) the RE team, which IIRC even modified some of their character modes but still managed to capture the likeness of the reference (such as with Ashley) and do far more justice to the people that their character models are based on. I know EFAP likes to be contrarian, but I know you guys know the context, so stop the excuses here.

And ultimately how attractive Key Vess looks affects so miniscule amount on how bad SW_Outlaw is, especially when she is still clearly a woman and very decent woman even if worse than her real life counterpart. Its very rare that looks of any character affect the gaming experience of any game that much.

I remember taking these mandatory mini courses back in high school and one of them had something to do with promotion and advertisement departments. I don't remember much about it, but I do remember them saying "you'd think in a scale of 1 to 10, the 'neutral' opinion is a 5, right? Wrong! It's actually a 7. To the industry, when you give a 7, that's neutral." And I spent the rest of that mini course thinking "what's the point of considering 7 the average when literally every layman thinks neutral is a 5 and will say 5 if they are neutral on the topic, and the layman is 99% of the population?"

When I saw MauLer playing the eating minigame I thought to myself, wouldn't it be funny if when you failed the quick-time events it played an overly dramatic, overplayed cutscene of Kay and Nix dying from whatever food they were eating. For example, with the spicy one when you failed the drinking the water quick-time, Kay starts choking on the water and falls backwards off the bar stool and you just see the game-over screen plastered over her glazed-over eyes and frothing mouth while she's staring up at the ceiling. Or when you fail to remove Nix's tongue from the ice chunk, the chef robot cuts it off with his buzz knife in a failed attempt to save him and he starts bleeding out while Kay screams "Nix! Nix! No!" Imagine the hilarious variability you could have with that.

Unless there are compelling narrative reasons to create unattractive characters, a game with attractive characters is objectively better than the same game with unattractive ones. I really don't understand why the EFAP gang (and this is not the first time) would just mock people who are finding some characters ugly and unappealing, it has the same energy of a group of high school dorks who are saying "We don't care how people looks, only the personality matters!" Sorry but no, looks matter a lot especially when you met a person the first time. Besides, you don't have a saying in what is a "normal face", by the very subjective nature of attractiveness the final saying is a provocatio ad populum that sets the bar of what is considered acceptable and what not. Of course, it's a fuzzy line that change depending on the time, location and culture you're living in in but I think that we can agree on the fact that what is considered "beautiful" here in the West is pretty much universally agreed by most of the people living in this planet. Ergo, if most of the people are complaing about how Kay Vess looks they're right and you're wrong. The *why* is actually another can of worm that a lot of channels here have already covered up and it's not needed to be repeated but is strong enough to make the decision of creating an objectively inferior product. I would have liked a more unbiased position instead of the usual "touch grass" (looking at you Theo) otherwise I'm going directly to Reddit or X and read the random comments of people with pronouns in their bio.

I assume that it is not the idea that people are complaining about this issue that made the EFAP crew say "touch grass" but the fact that people put so much weight on it. Sure it sucks that this is a thing that games are currently doing this but talking about the quality of the games is much more important. Things like the story, the game play, and performance are leagues more important than this issue and it is strange to see this many people getting riled up about. If the whole game is dying why focus in on the fact that you find the main character uglier than the actor? Also EFAP mainly focuses on the objective as opposed to the subjective. You said it yourself that attractiveness is pretty subjective. Thus talking about how pretty the main character is becomes entirely worthless when talking about the quality of the game. You say it makes an "objectively worse" despite also claiming attractiveness to be subjective. I will leave you with this hypothetical. Imagine that Star Wars Outlaws came out and had the same quality as Red Dead Redemption 2. Would you really call this version of Star Wars Outlaws an objectively worse game than RDR 2 because the main character is uglier than the actor who plays them?

When players from every part of the world are pointing and laughing at how western games are uglyfying women you can't just dismiss the thing as "touch grass" "I don't care" "looks normal to me" because it's clearly a factor that many people are taking in consideration and most of all, noticing.

I’d need to finish the last half of this episode but Alanna Pearce( I hope I got her name down right.) about IGN reviews legitimately got me angry. Her condescending attitude was annoying but her essentially putting down indie games while propping AAA is infuriating. Just because a piece of art doesn’t have mainstream backing shouldn’t be indicative of quality. Especially when some of those indie titles manage to nail down basic game mechanics when these AAA studios can’t seem to bother doing that well. And also as a developer myself, I feel the need to stick up for indie devs because making a game by yourself is a big endeavor. Judge them on the merits of the game. But don’t be such a d bag when trying to put down indie developers for the AAA industry. Some of my favorite games happen to be indie. Nine Sols I’m recently going through and that’s an indie studios. Really liking it.

She was literally modelled & inserted into CyberPunk. Singing it's praises while receiving kickbacks like expensive merch before it's botched fraudulent release. She's backed almost every progressive "woke" movement in gaming. Even recently saying that the time constraints of having children as a gamer is a "disability" no joke. She even did the same female faces & bodies are too hard to model gaslighting defense. Ironically they shrunk her generous feminine "dimensions" in Cyberpunk. To add extra irony she was ushered into the gaming sphere because she was a real hot gamer girl. Way back years ago when attractive women were desired by the industry.

“No one knows about these games, therefore we don’t have to review them.” You’re a review site. You’re supposed to try a _variety_ of games to tell me _which_ ones to buy or avoid. All this tells me is your site is a trend-chaser that doesn’t care about finding the diamonds in the rough. And if you’re reviewing big games everyone is excited for, if it’s bad, how many people are you actually going to be able to deter? If everyone’s excited, they’re probably just gonna buy it regardless. So your review on them is ultimately worthless. And it’s even more worthless when said games automatically get a 5/10 for existing, where 6 is okay so that’s 4 of 5 ratings options that are positive, and if “reviewers opinions are the same as anyone else’s” then why read/watch your reviews in the first place? There’s no level of authority and you know they’ll be scored positively.
