That's super weird, I had that same ad yesterday but Girlfriend and Wife had swapped art. Ads are mysterious and sometimes gross, like does someone really want to play a game from that ad of all things?

I found the image on r/gacha. According to some posters there, pregnancy was portrayed in the second image at first, then changed to the below later on. Possibly due to feedback saying how fucked up that is. Not like things are anywhere close to okay now.

Guess she finally decided to tell him about the pregnancy six or so months in lmao

I'm getting more of those ads on youtube for some reason and I just want them to FUCKING STOP.
Enough with the creepy anime bullshit please.

Can someone else make a thread on Zelda being only playable in spin-offs over her own series (really the only exception is spirit tracks and even then its' only the final boss). I'd make it but I'd be accused of "being salty" and "not getting it" and "let's annihilate the bastard until he is cutting himself!"

I would be interested to take that plunge. It's been a thing that irked me for years, and even the spinoffs are sometimes very...odd about it.
The spinoff Triforce Heroes rather had multiple Links (and allowed one to crossdress as Zelda) than have her there

And then there's Skyward Sword, where Zelda is actually playing a Metal Gear Zelda game the entire time, and Link only follows her, leading to a much worse Story in the story-based Zelda game.


I'd be worried such a thread might be considered trolling, though: The opinion that Zelda could maybe use being playable tends to get a lot of anger from people, for some reason - woman trophy, man actor became an integral part in the eyes of many, from what I remember from my own interactions with the Zelda fandom.

Oh, thank you but someone else made that thread already:

I also noticed not that long into playing it that they increased the bust of Eve for no good reason. Granted it isn't played for laughs like that screenshot, but it's still annoying to see that done when there really wasn't any fanservice that I can remember in the first game.

The gameplay mechanics are enough to overlook it somewhat, but it still annoys me.

Absolutely agreed. I can't imagine there are many people thinking, "An NES style platformer? I'm not interested....unless there's some blatant pandering to lonely males that is."

I really feel this is more likely to drive those who would otherwise be interested away rather than the opposite.

Thinking about it, it's really only a joke if you've internalized that women exist only for the male gaze.

Have a screenshot of the original, because I was stunned enough seeing it that I sent it to my group chat:

In addition to the bloat of Tik Tok ads, YouTube has a garbage algorithm if it thinks I'm going to buy any of this trash.

I love me some master blaster.

But I'm pretty disappointed that their inclusion for new female characters was literally an anthropamorphized pair of double G breasts with an actual intentional description that the rest of her features don't matter. This character is literally "BOOOOOOOOBS"

I guess we should count our blessings that she wasn't in a vine bikini, but...whatever.

Brands especially video game/anime are more about making character designs that fan art will be plentiful for.

Looking at lewd/NSFW art twitter and I've seen a few people already tweeting about doing the Watermelon boobs character art.

Is this what rejected Xenoblade 2 blades look like?

For what it's worth, that CG is only on-screen for maybe 10 seconds. When you talk to her after that, you just see her portrait.

Is this supposed to look attractive for me as a straight male? Seriously what the hell is up with that character?

As I was saying in the Saboteur thread, anybody remembers when games used to have a "sexy nazi woman" fetish problem last gen? I remember Wolfenstein being one of those and it makes me glad we no longer get this garbage these days.
Well....the other character in the game also got some "Upgrades"

This is Blaster Master 1

This is Blaster Master 2

I don't even know how to react to this. So from what the describtion tells us she got bigger breasts because of virus? *eyeroll*
Tbf that comment could be said about nearly every art fetish under the sun.
True.

But why go there in the first place though? This is what's not always clear to me. Their audience would have still liked and bought the game even with a more respectful treatment towards their women characters.

Why not? Realistically it's not about some sort of safe space but even the more mainstream audience for game thinks like this.

How much time has passed story-wise between BMZ1 and 2?

I only ask because she looks a lot younger in that first picture than in the second one. Yes, part of that is because her boobs are a lot bigger, but she just seems older to me. I think it's also the longer hair and the hips.

I guess they could've been trying to make her appear older while not changing her her face at all (thanks anime-artstyles), but I don't doubt they were happy to increase her bust beyond what would be needed to get the message across.

What makes you think the audience in need of big tiddy waifus is mainstream in any way? The audience for these particular titles is niche by all means. And them oversexualizing their characters only will make it increasingly so.

No, but the audience that DOES think like this sure wants to pretend they are the most mainstream audience for games and that this is needed.

BUt it's not. Shovel Knight sure didn't need it, now did it?
