I have over 300 hours in Bloodborne and can't remember the ass thrusting. Must have blocked it from memory for obvious reasons. The whole spanking women and making them crawl like babies still stand though.Miyazaki had us covered on the ass thrusting part atleast.
If the pillar men are offensively flamboyant homosexual stereotypes, then sure.

Good memories of fisting those pigs on Mergo's Loft for hours to grind echoes :')Miyazaki had us covered on the ass thrusting part atleast.
There's ass thrusting and then there's this. Naked fucker just lands his ass on your whole body.
So this became another thread with bunch of drive-by posters dismissing concerns over terrible representation. I guess it's a staple at this point.
Kinda wanted to say something but didn't wanna get potentially dogpiled
It's a good decision to not add one, we seen what happened on similar threads that did (looking at you Harry Potter thread).
I'd hardly call God Hand sentai, that's Viewtiful Joe. Don't watch many japanese 70s action movies so can't speak for that. Also Gene hardly reacting is just a limitation of the game. He kicks people into the atmosphere team rocket style and just moves on.
It's kind of odd to make a topic like this about a specific, not very popular game from 2006. Media in general was pretty shitty with sexism and homophobia at the time, and singling out a single 15 year old cult classic doesn't really do much compared to making topics about modern games like Persona 5 that still do these things.
It seems to be more of a parody of Fist of the North Star with the post apocalypse desert setting and martial arts, right down to the character designs. But still your point stands as FOTNS doesn't have the best feminine representation afaik.
There's an entire sentai squad that you fight throughout the game that all look like viewtiful joe. Not saying this at all to diminish your valid observations, but how much of the game did you play?
Yeah good call out, it's basically a parody of a ton of Japanese media geared towards boys/young men from the creators' childhoods. Definitely a lot of HnoK
You said God Hand is inspired by Sentai. Gene is not sentai, doesn't feel sentai, doesn't look like sentai. I said that based on the protagonist design and the (western?) like feel of the game. And I played about 3 hours worth on pcsx2 before I had to turn it off
Fam you can add the validity of discussing the age of game/movie/whatever vs our current perception of representation to this thread if you want be my guest.
I really only made the thread cause I recently played it again on pcsx2, also God Hand seemed pretty popular back in the day, ign review notwithstanding. Just makes me hope Capcom never sink to these depths again
I don't see why. Keep people in front of you and properly crowd control, it's the core design of the game; it's not supposed to be an omnidirectional combat of 1 vs many like most action games, and that's perfectly fine.
Who in their right mind looks to God Hand for proper representation. Just be greatful looking back at this game knowing that virtually all games nowadays will not pull this shit and that's a good thing right?
A game is a sum of it's parts. It can have one incredible aspect (combat), but lack a bunch of other things, and people will see the entire package as bad.
I didn't say otherwise? What we always witness though is a completely dismissal of concerns of marginalized people in this types of threads. It's constant and it's tiring.
