>Fat people bad, coomerbait good

>Why would you want to play a fat person in a video game?
>Even women don't like like playing as fat people.
Guys, we must tell the creators of Dr. Eggman and Globox that their characters are fat and ugly and not even women want to play as them. Never liked Dr. Eggman anyway. Like, c'mon, he's so fat and ugly. Fat people are cringe. 🙃

On a serious note, the first design is kinda fire ngl.

>Why would you want to simulate a fat person in a life simulator?
>People play games to escape… from fat people
>Women in Sims 4 are ugly

>Palestinians deserve to be genocided
Okay, what in the actual fuck? 😳

>>40059
I liked playing as fat CJ in GTA San Andreas

>>40059 (me)
I love the first redesign so much, I'd love to play as her. The second redesign in comparison looks like some porn parody of Concord and the third one looks like Corn from Jet Set Radio.
>>40065
lol

>>40067 (me)
Damn, I want to clap It-Z's cheeks now, what's wrong with me?

>>40070 (me)
OOOOOOHHOHOOOOH!!

The alternative universe's version of Concord we never got. Damn you, alternative universe. First E3 2012's Watch Dogs, then Devil May Cry in Sonic Frontiers, now Concord. You took everything from us, alternative universe, fuck you.

>>40067
This post make me look up the Concord characters, and holy shit, this is so bad. What is even the aesthetic they were going for, Plan 9 From Outer Space? Is that literally it? Did they purposefully designed the game to look like shit in pursue of low-budget 60s sci-fi retro-futurism?

>>40076
>Did they purposefully designed the game to look like shit in pursue of low-budget 60s sci-fi retro-futurism?
Some of the characters look like they're DnD LARPers, it's all over the place.

>Men playing as female characters are cringe
The guy just keeps digging his own hole. We're reaching the levels of Synthetic Man that shouldn't be possible.

tbh having prominent right wing ecelebs be the platonic ideal of the unwashed and obnoxious neckbeard and/or sex pests is kinda of a propaganda W if you can spin it right. Like asmon is a microcosm of how the online right is basically just entitled first world NEETs who blame there problems on everyone else and think themselves conan the barbarian while playing dogshit AAA games and gooning to freaky deaky ass hentai all day. Your average socialists who actually goes to work at there J-O-B to support themselves and there people is closer to the old school manly image of stoic breadwinner than asmon and his ilk ever could be.

Online leftists like Agent Kochinski are the same as Asmon really. These creators will push reasonable people to centrism if anything.

>>40076
I like this approach honestly. you make the aesthetics kind of ugly so the audience has to focus on the other aspects of the game, like the mechanics or the plot. the only problem is that, if they decide to go this "we are past graphics" approach, the majority of the art staff will become redundant and eventually unemployed

too many modern games are just action/adventure slop + coombait for free advertisement, so the studios that don't do that deserve some recognition. the only problem is that they are still making the action/adventure slop but ugly. if the game is good you don't need this shit >>>/games/40080

I know these are some geriatric references but everyone liked playing as a big fat blob in spore or the final confrontation between fat cj and big smoke

>>40081
cartoony graphics that age like fine wine and don't require a sweatshop of mfers animating dust clouds are better than "realistic" graphics that come at the expense of everything else in game that'll look like shit inna couple years anyway.

>>40081
>you make the aesthetics kind of ugly so the audience has to focus on the other aspects of the game
Not gonna happen, games are an audio-visual experience as well as a test of your reflexes and problem solving. You need both. Even the good 2600 games don't actually look ugly, they just look simplistic.
>everyone liked playing as a big fat blob in spore or the final confrontation between fat cj and big smoke
There's a difference between "grotesque" or "goofy" and just ugly. Spore looks goofy, Ren and Stimpy looks grotesque, but Concord simply has bad character design, it's that simple.

>>40083
concord's failure has nothing to do with the character design, it was the fact that nobody wanted another overwatch clone that you have to pay $60 for in 2024

>>40098
>nobody wanted another overwatch clone that you have to pay $60 for in 2024
As if a video game can't be terrible in multiple aspects at the same time.

>Every time I see him he's just saying the dumbest shit ever
BASED WOMAN.

Even Asmon's fans think his take on Gaza is unhinged.

Remember when PewDiePie parodying a Nazi was the most offensive thing a popular YouTuber has done? Yeah… It's gotten worse.

Meanwhile, Destiny was actively defending Asmon while ignoring his support of the genocide of Palestinians.
>>40105 (me)
Oh, I forgot that Pewds also said the N-word in PUBG. That's it, that was the most controversial thing back then. Now compare saying the N-word to approving genocide. Night and day. Shit's wild.

>Fat people are cringe. 🙃
Fatness is always tied to historical materialist trends. whether people are rich enough to own food or so rich that being skinny is a bourgeois status symbol.
I'd also say there's a similar process of Elon Musk's neoliberal austerity 2.0 slimming down the federal government, as with the slimming down of neoliberal performers like Ariana Grande who is allegedly doing that ozempic anorexia skeletal thing

>>40107
You don't get it, Asmon doesn't just criticize fat positivity, he doesn't want fat people in video games, period. Which is a very schizo take imho.

Fat people… exist. Fat people are real. They are not made-up. And if you want to make a fat guy in a video game you should be allowed to. It's a video game, nobody's to tell you how to play it. It's ultimately a matter of good character design, and I think Dr. Eggman, Globox and Spectacular Spider-Man's Dr. Octopus look awesome.

>>40059
Eggman is an awful design, though it's more so because of his dumbass mustache than his obesity.
I prefer characters to be good looking, but being fat doesn't inherently make a character unattractive. If I were tasteless enough to play Overwatch I would play that Mei lady because she's really pretty.

>>40108 (me)
Found the OG in-game design. She actually looks surprisingly cute, reminds me of D.Va a lil'. I can see what inspired all the fan art. Why does her default skin look worse? What happened?

>>40112
>Eggman is an awful design
How so? I think both his classic and modern designs are great. The only three designs of his that look bad are his AoSTH, '06 and Boom designs. But his best design is obviously his Fleetway design, fite me.
>it's more so because of his dumbass mustache
Don't disrespect his chad mustache like that. I'd wish I had a mustache as fluffy as his… if I ever wanted a mustache.
>being fat doesn't inherently make a character unattractive
Depends on what you mean by "unattractive." I'm personally not into overweight women. I do enjoy women who are a little bit chubby tho. Like, you know, "soft-skinned."
>I would play that Mei lady because she's really pretty
I don't think she was planned to be fat, it's more of a retcon. And you can't really see her body under that thick coat anyway.

A part of the problem was that people weren't interested in another hero shooter, but a hero shooter that doesn't have appealing heroes is dead-on-arrival.

Marvel Rivals was a surprise success even though its pretty much just a Overwatch knockoff, partially because of a free-to-play models, but also because its heroes are appealing and have a built-in fanbase because they're Marvel characters.

And the continued popularity of Overwatch rests ENTIRELY on the appeal of its characters. With how badly mismanaged Overwatch has been as a game (up to and including the fact that Blizzard apparently can't cobble a singleplayer campaign together after a full fucking decade), it is probably no exaggeration to say that fanfic shit and pornography is what's keeping Overwatch relevant.

The main focal point of the hero shooter IS its heroes, and you can't build the foundation of your hero shooter on heroes that all look plain-faced and drab with the only thing interesting or eye-catching about them being their increasingly ridiculous clown costumes they're made to wear. If you're creating a hero shooter in its own brand-new universe, it becomes ESPECIALLY important to make appealing characters. If they're not attractive, they should at least be cool.

It IS actually kind of a strange trend among Western developers that they're making games centered around mostly drab, plain-faced characters when decades of marketing experience would show that the opposite of this is what you want. "Sex sells" and the more eye catching something is, the better.

>>40114
Eggman boom is fine, but eggman 06 is horrible, especially his without cream mustache.

>>40141
I agree with your post but I wasn't trying to excuse Concord's character designs at all, I was talking about Asmon's takes on obese characters.

>>40157 (me)
Also, coomerbait is not necessarily good character design. If your female character has an open cleavage, huge tits and barely any clothing that doesn't automatically make her a good design. Look at It-Z's alternative designs I posted. Sure, they're hot. But they are also cute. Sex appeal for the sake of sex appeal however just looks stupid, everyone just ends up looking like a bimbo and the game turns into a porn parody without the porn. Even Dead or Alive's character designs have more to them than just "HOOJ BOOBAS," every character looks charming, memorable and unique. Same for Senran Kagura.

>>40144
Boom's Eggman looks like a homeless WW2 veteran.

Imagine them finding out that Jax existed in the first Mortal Kombat.

>>40159 (me)
It-Z my beloved…

Roka's redesign also looks sexier here. Her OG design is another good example of a bad kind of coomerbait: even if she has nice thighs, her costume simply looks awful.

I don't like coomerbait myself. I feel like its the other side of the "shit design" coin. It feels juvenile.

That said, I feel like characters have to be somewhat attractive to feel heroic. Sort of like how they updated Gale's appearance in BG3. I don't know if Gale has ever been coombait, but making him a bit more handsome makes him look more like a hero.

>>40201
Wtf was that beta face looks like a creepy middle aged sex pest lmfao

>>40201
(PS) - I would also totally play an outright ugly character, though. I would play the shit out of a game that let me be the Crones from the Witcher 3, for instance. Just being a real ugly bastard has its own appeal.

What is particularly shit about modern design is the simple blandness of it. They're drab and plain-faced and, maybe worst of all, typically wearing clothes that the marketing department, human resources and some consultancy group all agreed was "acceptably rebellious."

Pic related, it's the Crones.

I would play the shit out of a game that just let me be a real ugly bitch.

>AI is a pariah in the art community
Yes, Asmon, there are NO LEGITIMATE REASONS TO CRITICIZE AI WHATSOEVER. 🙄

The anti-woke YouTube has become an echo-chamber, everyone just repeats the general consensus and nobody steps out of line. When Endymion tried to voice his genuine opinion on the pronouns in Starfield he got bullied for it by his own fans. And that's not why I watch anti-woke videos, I watched them because anti-woke YouTubers were not afraid to say things others may disagree with. Now they're no different than woke snowflakes, so disappointing. Only dirtbag leftists have some integrity left. Because they have to, both the cultural left and the cultural right hate them.

>>40202
To be fair, he is a middle aged sex pest.

Wrong. I deleted my Twitter acc before Musk even took over 'cause "social" media is a waste of time.

AI has its uses like the voice cloning and multimedia upscaling but other than that it's mostly used to produce generic highly derivative slop with anatomy fuck-ups. Like, I don't even give human artists slack, if you suck you suck, sorry, not sorry.
