I will block abusive posters and those that makes excuses for them.
I like it. Reminds of the style they used in, "Musashi Samurai Legend," on the PS2.

This is one of those privacy ignoring features that people wanted to get away from on other platforms. Huge fail.

The internet was once made up of smart people pretending to be dumb to unwind. The internet is now made up of actual dumb people who believe they are in good company.

Strange game. The only winning move is not to pay.

I played the demo. It wants to be Sekiro, but in linear levels and anime-flavored. I might pick it up with it drops to $20 on Steam. I wouldn't pay more than that for it though.

You can play with a female skin, but it is not voice, and it disables cut scenes.

Literally an academic psychology research article...

But since you do not want to continue this discussion in good faith, and are now resorting to ad hominems, I will leave it there.

Just one example. There are many more:

"Male gaze has always been at the heart of the debate over gender equity. It is the force resource of patriarchy, which outstandingly contributed to the high tolerance for sexualization and objectification of women"[1]

Alone, it wouldn't. Combined with many other mags, then things change. It just failed here because Eve was a body scan of a real woman, o it backfired when they started criticizing her body.

These are basically the same arguments they used to justify Lara Croft's changes, same with Ashley (RE4)

Repeat something to me, you are going to get a repeated answer back.

Equality means everyone gets treated the same. Level playing field.

Equity means some people get preferential treatment, "based on their needs." The argument used being, female characters "need" to be protected from male gaze.

I explained even if you don't use "DEI" in that way, even if you don't think it should be used that way, a large part of the gaming community does, and the devs were replying to that, about fanservice. That should have been the end. Instead we argued for an hour+. No, it would not have solved it.

Spreading bad press to get store fronts to refuse to carry a product is effectively "cancelling" it.

Equality and Equity do not mean the same thing.
