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.

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 :')
Not with those animations and camera
There's ass thrusting and then there's this. Naked fucker just lands his ass on your whole body.I have over 300 hours in Bloodborne and can't remember the ass thrusting.

Not sure what Mikami was thinking with this...
Just..why Mikami?...
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 dogpiledSo this became another thread with bunch of drive-by posters dismissing concerns over terrible representation. I guess it's a staple at this point.
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 was thinking of adding a poll but that'd probably just make me sad.
And there's absolutely nothing wrong with the camera, don't @ me
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.Not defending it, but this game is a parody of sentai and 70s action movies and serials, of which rampant sexualization was their bread and butter. It's kind of like a Japanese Austin Powers. Interestingly it's just all window dressing, as Gene hardly reacts to it at all.
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.So this became another thread with bunch of drive-by posters dismissing concerns over terrible representation.

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.Not defending it, but this game is a parody of sentai and 70s action movies and serials, of which rampant sexualization was their bread and butter.

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?I'd hardly call God Hand sentai, that's Viewtiful Joe.

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 HnoKIt 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.

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 offThere's an entire sentai squad that you fight throughout the game that all look like viewtiful joe.

If your analog is broken, maybe.
Can't we agree that the camera is just a smidge too close?
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.It's kind of odd to make a topic like this about a specific, not very popular game from 2006.

yea man, who cares about problematic representation? Fuck upGod Hand is a great game. Probably the worst examples I've ever seen of a game supposedly aging badly.
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 againIt's kind of odd to make a topic like this about a specific, not very popular game from 2006.

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.If you think God Hand is a bad game it's because you don't understand enough about the game's systems to fully comprehend why it's absolutely genius. Its humor can be cringy but it's so silly I don't know how anyone could take it seriously.

And then it became top 100 games from IGN LOL
I and my friend has no clue about who made this game at all but still had a maximum fun tho.
The sexual gags are tone deaf and embarassing of course, that's ignorance Asian culture pre 20xx.

But what is tiring to see and it's a constant in threads like this is posters like those I quoted who go into topics trying to have a conversation about representation in media just to shit on it by basically going ''I like it shut up''. We been having a problem with this specially on gaming side and it's frankly disgusting.
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.People can like something despite problematic content though. As long as they recognize that those elements can be problematic.
