There's More to 'Dragon's Crown' than Boobs, Including these Famous Works of Art

Anthony Accinelli of RealSG writes, "Now that the review embargoes have been lifted, I find that I am being force fed a bunch of disillusioned sexism talk in regards to the art found within. Yes, there are character models in Dragon's Crown that show a lot of the human body (both male and female mind you). Yes, they are grossly exaggerated. Yes, it is an art style.

There is also an absolutely insane amount of classical and modern art found within. Which have sadly been completely glossed over."

Big Boobs becoming more rare in recent games, perhaps they'll go extinct in the future, thankfully there's 'Dragon's Crown'.

careful duders. female activist gamers will come kidnap you in your sleep for such comments

Me love Dragon's Crown.

I think Golden Axe's Tyris Flare and this Amazon should have a game together.

Beautiful game.

There is no accounting for taste.

Ignore the negative creeps.

Blacklash933919d ago (Edited 3919d ago )

Honestly, I find the character art atrocious. The proportions on these charcters, especially the women, cross the line of ridiculous and just into cringe-worthy. The heads are very small and the bodies are like a caricature. That said, the backrounds and monsters look great. And the coloring and shading look gorgeous.

"Big Boobs becoming more rare in recent games"

More like boobs you can't see in real life are becoming more rare. I for one don't find obnoxiously inflated boobs, that may as well literally break the alphabet of cup sizes, attractive in the slightest.

AvidGamerrrr3919d ago

Which is a completely fine opinion to have. It's when that opinion crosses into the "you're a sexist asshole for playing this game" realm that it becomes a problem.

Did you read the article? It's point was to shed light on the fact that while the Sorceress is exaggerated, the rest of the characters are as well. It's the art style. And that's only 1% of it.

The other 99% of the art in the game is well researched depictions of real-life culture.

Blacklash933919d ago (Edited 3919d ago )

I never said it was sexist, just that I think it's ugly. That includes balloon boobs. Honestly, these militants trying to stamp out whatever they percieve is an accusation of sexism can be just as bad as the people they're after.

I know the rest of the characters are the same, and I called out all of them in that post. I said "these characters" and "especially the women" and not just the women. It's just my opinion, don't let it bother you.

But sure, people can feel free to call me a puritan because I criticize an art direction and don't find helium-inflated boobs attractive. Whatever works for some of you.

cyguration3919d ago

Well, that's nice of you to educate us on that front Mr. Chivalry Puritan, however some people do like games that exercise exaggerated fantasy that you can't find in real life for the very fact that you can't find it in real life.

I'm not saying I agree with or like the character designs, I'm simply saying that it aims to fulfill a niche that some individuals enjoy from indulging in a fantasy universe.

You know... because lightsabers aren't real either, but I still think they're pretty cool.

Majin-vegeta3919d ago

More like boobs you can't see in real life are becoming more rare.

Oh i disagree sir. http://www.spike.com/video-...

Now quit crying it's only a game.

Blacklash933919d ago (Edited 3919d ago )

Pointing to world records from strippers, who obviously all got insane surgeries to have those, to justify that kind of point is absolutely laughable.

I'm not crying. I can't voice any kind of dissenting opinion without it seeming that way, I guess. I'd put "crying" more along the lines of berating someone for saying obscenely large breasts were not attractive or that a caricature-esque art direction wasn't either.

CrossingEden3919d ago

wait wait, so how is a contest between strippers help your argument, THIS is what porn does to people, you probably haven't heard of this but um, the average everyday women does not have triple D boobs at the age of 16

CaptainPunch3919d ago

It's a game, calm down. You know something fictional and not real.

Dir_en_grey3919d ago

@Blacklash93
You with an ugly avatar that doesn't even represent anything in real life sure cry a lot about how artwork need to be true to real life.

99% of anything drawn anywhere doesn't have real life proportions, I'm sure you know that. And I'm sure you are just using your stupid retarded reasons to troll.

All I can say is crawl back to your hole.

Everyone has to be a critic in one way or another...

There has to be a reason behind every little thing....

(I hope you can read through my sarcasm)

Such foolish dribble over meaningless things...

SynestheticRoar3919d ago

I rather play video games with a sexy female character. Than have to play with a scared dirty androgynous stand in, whose suppose to be lara croft.

Why mention PS5 when talking about PS3

Magog332d ago

The load times in retrospect are unbearable but I did have hella fun playing couch co-op with my gf on the PS3 and PS2.

anast332d ago

Couch co-op is the best alternative.

Rynxie332d ago

Resistance 2 co-op was amazing! I wish they would remaster resistance 1-3 and killzone 1-3 for the PS5.

I have a friend who still has a sealed copy of Folklore. I’m sure it’s worth more now than it was when it released but I’m not sure how much more.

franwex1124d ago

Bought it for $5 at Walmart. I have yet to play it. But I did open it to look at it. Heh.

phoenixwing1124d ago

the game is actually good. I'd rather buy and play it than keep a sealed copy

Indigon1124d ago

Yeah I gave my brother my PS3 for free with a lot of games but I kept Folklore.

Teflon021123d ago

Folklore is an amazing game. Should have bought 2 copies. 1 to play and one to keep

Seraphim1123d ago

yeah I still have a sealed copy of Folklore too. I almost never do this but I had originally rented it. One day I saw it for like $20 at Walmart so picked up a copy. Always meant to re-play it but just never did. I think in part because it never got trophy support[?]. It was an interesting and unique game that didn't get the love it deserved.

I see Trails of Cold Steel II is tagged. Not sure where PS3 prices sit but the PS4 version of both Trails I and II were around $140 as recently as a little over a month ago. Ended up buying both of them digitally then buying III and IV on disc. Shame I kept putting off buying them. Just a couple months prior you could still get them both for about $45 each. Anyway I'm almost finished with II and hopefully be playing III and IV next.

Petebloodyonion1123d ago

I would suggest using price charting to evaluate the value of a past game.
https://www.pricecharting.c...
value for the game new is 60$

Hawk1986661123d ago

Its not worth much, about £20.

monkey6021123d ago

I want Folklore. I've been trying to find it for some time now. It's one of the only games set in Ireland so I've been busting to play it some time

And wait for emulation and/or till their PS3 dies?

franwex1124d ago

3D Dot Game Heroes is a cool game that may soon go up in price too. I enjoyed it.

Indigon1124d ago

That's one that has been quite hard to find for some time.

Godmars2901123d ago (Edited 1123d ago )

At least you didn't own ALL Panzer Dragoon entries only to sell them all on ebay.

Don't talk to me about seller's regret...

nommers1123d ago

I'm so glad I kept my copy of this game.

Soy1123d ago

Great game, lots of fun - and definitely tougher to find. I'm glad I kept mine.

Glad I still have it. One of my fav games that gen

PS1, PS2 and PS3 BC right now is pointless. The top games are extremely overpriced or aren't available anywhere anymore. The best that can happen is Sony putting all the games on the PSN and/or PS Now. That way we all can play the classics, with trophies and some optimizations.

Godmars2901123d ago

Pointless, unless you have a 2st stage production model PS3.

One have to get fixed, but still, I've got it.

gold_drake1123d ago

exvuse me
i still play games on my ps2.

Gardenia1123d ago

That's because you only think about yourself. 90% of gamers don't have PS1, PS2 or PS3 games lying around. What do think is going to happen when there is BC and games like Vagrant Story, MGS, Suikoden 2 will be on sale? The few that are will be sold for hundreds of Euro's/Dollars.

Digital is the only option for everyone to be able to play those games.

gold_drake1123d ago (Edited 1123d ago )

ooff yea im only thinking about myself by playing my ps2 games haha.
the whole point about my reply was that, BC is not pointless. alot of ppl still have their old games mind you.

HankHill1123d ago

Nobody agrees with you so I guess you're the one only thinking about themself.

TheColbertinator1123d ago

Still have the Neptunia box sets unopened. Every year they get more valuable
