Personally I think they should’ve instead added erotica photos for all the NPCs to balance it out, but that’s just me 🤷
Good.
Equal representation’s good, and I never liked this mechanic to begin with. Works for me!
I still won’t buy it, but that’s because it lacks T.J. Rotolo, not anything to do with this.
Such a dumb move. This won’t help sales, but it certainly will hurt them (though, to be fair, probably not much). Sex sells. And the people who are offended by this wouldn’t have bought the game in the first place.
I’m just so annoyed by this recent resurgence of Puritan-esque prudishness. Humans are sexual beings! We shouldn’t be ashamed of or offended by sexuality; we should embrace it! And if people are worried about unequal representation, the solution is simple: put sexy men in the game, too, and maybe an option for players to toggle either. Everybody wins.
Sure, but promoting the explicit sexual exploitation of women doesn’t seem to be the answer.
Like, maybe not pushing for taking sexually explicit photos of un-consenting persons?
One of these categories was Erotica, which gave players PP for taking photos of women’s cleavage, underwear or any other revealing clothing.
If you dont want to buy the game without that, then you don’t want to buy the game, you want to buy Girls Gone Wild.
Yeah, I think the people arguing for this don’t understand the full context. You get extra points for taking the equivalent of upskirt photos of women who are being attacked by or in fear of being attacked by zombies. It’s textbook exploitation.
I can’t immediately think of a context where it would be better, but… it isn’t this.
I don’t know the game well - never played its original release and I likely won’t play this remake - but from what I understand, the women in question are zombies, so consent isn’t really a factor.
If anything, removing this feature slightly reduces immersion and significantly changes the main character’s personality. I can understand why someone who was a fan of the original would be hesitant to get the remake, since the main character is a different person, morally speaking.
It’s like Star Wars - Han shot first, and changing that doesn’t change the story in any real way, but it significantly changes Han’s character.
So necrophilia is cool…? 🤢
Cold, actually.
I have a very feminist outlook on things, but I enjoy some problematic things. I know it’s not very progressive of me, but it is what it is. I acknowledge they are problematic.
Which is just to say, I don’t like this. I understand, but I’m not a fan.
Is it me or has the term remastered been changed to remake/redesigned?
To me it’s always meant that its just a visual fidelity and maybe audio updating. The rest of the game mechanics remain. Only extreme bugs should be fixed that would lead to corrupted saves or something.
