I enjoy them quite easily, no pun intended. For me, I do play more competitive games when I feel like thinking and aiming and all that. Though sometimes, I just want to chill.

I mean, he makes games that people enjoy, so of course they like him. Though I'm in agreement of disliking the weird praise for any developer tbh. I'm a Nintendo fan, but every time someone says "Daddy Sakurai", I cringe. And I agree that Sakurai is talented, like Kojima is talented, but it's still fucking cringe when they call him Daddy Sakurai.

Yikes... Megalia sounds fucking awful...

Actually, I think this is it. I do notice that in games, that skate criticism, they have something for everyone. Friday, Paladins, Smite, The Witcher, Fortnite, Soul Caliber, Street Fighter, Tekken, Fire Emblem, Final Fantasy, etc.

Yeah, fighting games skirt by criticism. I do think that a lot of people assume that Japanese companies are backwards, and that's from both sides. Alt-right worship them as a beacon of white supremacy, which is actually so fucking ironic that it hurts. The leftists assume that they're automatically sexist and backwards. Both sides are obviously wrong. Something that a lot of leftists don't talk about is how in mainstream Shoujo, Cardcaptor Sakura and Sailor Moon, the WEST censored the queer relationships. The US dub censored the lesbian relationship between Neptune and Uranus on Sailor Moon, and they censored the gay relationship between Sakura's brother, Touya, and Yukito. There was also drama about the Nintendo's Girl Club that journalists blamed on Japanese sexism, but it was actually the UK branch that was responsible for it. And it once again goes both ways, because alt-right people are so shocked that Japan is LGBT friendly, even though they're literally the creators of Futa, BL, and GL... And they're also saddened when they find out that every Japanese person isn't racist. It's actually weird...

Paladins is like Overwatch and Smite is like League of Legends and Dota. I simply use them as an example of Western games with fanservice, because it's true. They have a lot of fanservice, even with their Asian characters. Ying, Io, and Lian in Paladins. Da Ji, Amaterasu, Nu Wa, etc in Smite. Though tbh, they're both games that piss off leftists and the alt-right. Gender Bending, cross dressing, POC characters (that aren't East Asian), and queer characters that will make the alt-right angry. Though race swapping and fanservice that'll make the leftists mad.

Controversy aside, they're genuinely good games. I like Paladins much better than Overwatch, due to the item shop (even if it's a bit flawed right now), and I like Smite a lot due to it being a fun MOBA with a unique view. They both also have really good looking skins.

Hades 2 has a darker skinned character, named Selene:

Which is why a lot of the alt-right peeps hate the game btw... And the alt-right are the LAST people to accuse anyone or racism, because they freak out and get triggered at the sight of black or darker than tan POC characters.

Also... Xenophobia against Asian countries is a thing, with the assumed sexism. Though I personally think that Stellar Blade is just boring and uninspired. Nintendo has more fanservice with the Gerudo woman having a skimpy top and showing their mid drift. Mario Tennis has more fanservice than Stellar Blade with Peach and Daisy tennis outfits:

They gave no sleeves, relatively form fitting, and they're very short pants/dress. No one threw a fit about these. Even in fighting games. They have Ivy in Soul Caliber, of all characters, and other fighting games have skimpy outfits too.

We all know about Arms as well. We all know about Twintelle:

As a matter of fact, Japanese fighting games and Nintendo gets away with a lot from both sides. Both have fan service, but the leftists never complain about them. Both have POC that are darker than tan, yet the anti-woke brigade never complains about them. It's the weirdest thing ever.

Though to be fair... Hirez and Friday the 13th also escaped criticism. Friday the 13th had girls in lingerie and bikinis, but no one complained about the sexism. Both games also had Latino and black characters, and no one cried woke. Same with Smite and Paladins. Both had fanservice, Mayan, black, etc, in both games. Ironically enough, the only complaint about Paladins was about a woman's thighs being shown, which I talked about how ironic and funny that situation was in this post:

I agree that people are weird. It kind of reminds me of the drama in one of the game that I play, Paladins. There was drama about the devs making a character with thick thighs and revealing them. They acted like the outfit was too sexy, because it revealed her thighs, so the devs made the change:

Though that entire drama made no sense. Mostly because there are several recolors that expose her thighs, and they're still in the game. I guess it was a compromise since a lot of the Paladins gamers made a huge deal about it. Though I have to ask, what even was the point?

It was also weird because there were sexier skins in our game. These skins predate that weird drama, and the people targeting the character above, never made a stink about these skins:

And I'm very shocked they didn't go after the last skin. Not only because it reveals her entire legs and is practically a bikini, but because she also has very suggestive voice lines, like bdsm and very sexual lines. I'm surprised she didn't get complaints, but they complained about a skin showing thigh...

But like... It isn't even the biggest offenders for fanservice, as Litchie said in a reply to me. I don't know... When I saw the offending fanservice, I was just like "that's it?" The Witcher 3 has entire sex and nudity scenes. In the games I play, there's tons of fanservice.

Fortnite is not the devil. They give you a free game the cosmetics are optional. Even then, you can buy skins after a few battle passes, due to the free currency that you get. Seriously, this game gets hate for no reason.

Just because you're a fan of a company, that doesn't mean that you excuse everything that they do. I'm a fan of Nintendo, but I don't enjoy everything that they do. There are definitely areas where Nintendo could improve, vastly.

Fanservice is a hot button issue. I personally don't mind it. Though I do think it should go both ways. That's why I really respect Paladins, Smite, Friday the 13th, The Witcher 3, etc. Because they have attractive men and women. Friday the 13th obviously has the girls in swim suits, with two of them donning a two-piece bikini. They also had sexy costumes for Vanessa and Tiffany. Though they also had men in swim suits with a character, named Chad, donning a speedo. Friday the 13th understood the assignment:

With those examples... I don't get why Stellar Blade was so controversial. From what I've seen, yeah her body is obviously meant to be sexy. But like... She's fully covered up.

I don't know... After I saw this, I was like "that's it?" And that's from both sides tbh. Guys acting like "western devs would never do this!" Uh, I played Friday the 13th, Smite, Paladins, The Witcher, Fortnite, etc. Those games have done much more fanservice than Stellar Blade. Though when people complained about it being too sexy, I also didn't get it. Like, sure her outfit is skin tight and her butt is prominent, but I also play Paladins... And we have Saati, among other characters:

And then on the side against Stellar Blade, saying that it's too much fan service. Um... Have y'all played like any game? The above examples aren't even the only examples... Heck, The Witcher 3 has entire sex and nude scenes in it. Why didn't they give AF then? Especially with fighting games. I mean, look at literally ANY Ivy skin.

It'll likely be cross platform. Though I personally wouldn't care. I've never been into Metroid, if I'm being honest.

Sony fans like handhelds again????
