I was going to question the necessity for this, but I saw "female chest" and realized that this will be hot in about an hour tops.

cannon88004793d ago (Edited 4793d ago )

By the time Mass Effect 9 comes out, Female Commander Shepherd will have become a hunchback because her breasts are going to weigh 150 pounds lolololol

da_2pacalypse4793d ago

lol not to mention the ass... diana has the biggest ass I've ever seen in any video game... like wtf?? lol

mabreu4793d ago

Mass effect 2 looks more realistic to the female anatomy, but I don't see a problem with the 3rd progression. Just as long as they go too far and start looking like Soul Calibur characters and start animating the "bounce."

Gaming1014793d ago

You can customize to make them look like whatever you want, so really who cares what the default body is?

guitarded774793d ago

Skim milk -> 2% milk -> Whole milk

OT: I don't think this is a case, but many games have used the hyper-sexualization of women to sell games, which is kinda lame, but their largest audience is males.

I think the OP meant to say

"the LIFTING of the female ....."

lol

@guitarded77

I't s true that video games is heavily male audience, but that doesn't justify the objectification of women. the default female Shepard from ME1/2 was a great character, she wasn't the stereotypical girly girl, she was just a strong character. But Bioware decided to go to the lowest common denominator and introduce a new female shepard and had people vote for her based on her appearance. Nuts to bioware.

Mass Effect 5 will equate to Soul Calibur 3. It's a vicious pattern.

RufustheSage4793d ago

Forget the chest, that ass is crazy in 3.

skip2mylou4793d ago

dont even say kray if you dont even know what it means

Zoron0074793d ago

It looks as if her posture gets better and it overall looks more realistic.9

Pozzle4793d ago

It looks like poor Shepard needs a back brace in that first picture!

danieldeath4793d ago

Silicon is not a rare resource in the mass effect universe..

Dragon Age 4: A Dream Unrealized

SWTOR was a great game on a bad engine.

JunonZanon59d ago

Agreed, SWTOR still has some of the best dialogue from any Star Wars work. I think we all miss this old Bioware the most.

Mark Darrah: stop harassing devs because you don't know what caused "the thing that you're mad at"

Former BioWare executive Mark Darrah says "be a human being, have some empathy."
Fans don't know who is actually to blame.
Darrah throws up a hypothetical that someone might not like how an actor delivered a line. Sure, it could well be down to the actor, but it also might be down to who was directing them, how the writer asked their work to be delivered, or maybe that was the only take they got.

This line from the video though

"Maybe the CEO of the entire company really wanted his nephew to be hired as a script consultant and this guy with literally zero experience was coming in and pushing for mandatory changes"

Like others have said that seems far too specific to just be an example...

Eonjay64d ago

Exactly. And the crazy part about this is that the people there just doing their job and trying to make a living are the one's getting hurt and losing their jobs. I am also not a fan of targeting specific individuals. Its poor form. These are video games.

RiseNShine64d ago

If only there was a single problem with this game, it was a train wreck waiting to crash and burn.

thorstein64d ago (Edited 64d ago )

As usual, common sense falls on deaf ears. I mean, he thinks this article is about Dragon Age Veilguard. He rejects logic and evidence.

What possible logic or evidence can you provide to convince him otherwise.

Notellin63d ago

The community has spoken and would like for you to stop instead.

Armaggedon62d ago (Edited 62d ago )

@Thorstein

Cant expect people to see reason now a days.

@Notellin
Sure. Go ahead and bury yourselves beneath your own ignorance.

thorstein64d ago

This article isn't about that game.

Gamingsince198163d ago

Veilguard was complete trash though anyway.

Notellin63d ago

Then don't use it for the thumbnail. It's misleading on purpose to draw this reaction.

thorstein63d ago

Or...I don't know... read the article.

staticall64d ago

Personally, i think we should always blame and criticize the management (especially top management; like with EA - every screw up should be blamed on Andrew Wilson and his goons). They're the ones with the power, the ones who have the last say in the matter - whatever is the plot details, gameplay, microtransactions, budget and «It's ok that it's buggy and crashes constantly, release the game ASAP, we'll fix it later».

Harrasement is not ok in my book, although, nowadays, many people paint every type of criticism (whatever warranted or not) as harrasement. Which is a very narrowminded and waters down actual harrasement problems. But, i guess, it makes it easier to ignore everything bad you see aimed towards yourself.

I would also like to add, that this topic is a double-edged sword, some developers are being mean to their customers, calling them names or any sort of -isms, that happens. In that case, don't be surprised, that, when you're «firing shots», customers are «shooting back» at you.

SimpleDad64d ago

We do want better games, and we get them by criticizing bad ones.

Eonjay64d ago

No you don't. Everything is criticized by somebody these days. By that logic everything is bad. Thats just more fuel for the echo chamber. The way you get games you want is by supporting the types of games you want by buying them. You want more games like Astrobot? Buy Astrobot. Recommend it to others. Its not about bashing what you don't like. its about supporting what you do like. Money talks.

SimpleDad64d ago

Absolutely, I buy my games cause subscriptions are also part of the problem. I don't criticize myself personally, but by observing criticism by others, I avoid purchasing games with problems.

TheColbertinator64d ago

No we don't. FIFA and Madden get criticized every year and the games get worse and more overpriced.

Christopher64d ago

Lack of profit is the only way to do it, but people are fine buying shit games every day, just not the shit games we talk about regularly here. We distract ourselves with this stupid 'social mirage' issue and the corporations get to keep doing less and less but selling it for more and more.

Armaggedon64d ago

“Better game” with big air quotes. What you like more, makes more sense.

Gamingsince198163d ago

Says the only guy in the world that likes vanguard, I bet you like avowed aswell huh

Empathy has no value when it comes to killing a franchise loved by thousands.

Eonjay64d ago

Empathy always has value when dealing with other human beings. This includes empathy towards the fans who feel scorned and the devs who worked their asses off.

We want to make Dragon Age a billion dollar franchise so let's hire the same writers responsible for mother fkn watch dogs legion 🤮

babadivad78d ago

Also hire an ideolog whose never worked on an RPG as the director.

goken78d ago

Well they were targeting the modern audiences demographic… remember these people are paid millions in salary to come up with these decisions

RaidenBlack79d ago

"Make Dragon Age great again."
~Make Larian develop next Dragon Age for it to be great again.~

tinchotin79d ago

Why waste them on that? Their games are much better than all Dragon Age games

RaidenBlack79d ago

Baldur's Gate is a Bioware developed Obsidian (previously-BlackIsle) published IP.
Dragon Age is a Bioware developed EA published IP.
(And I am talking total hands-off approach from EA. Just pure publishing.)
Trust me, this is the best combo in the world of gaming-RPG but has the slightest of slightest chance to actually happen.

Toecutter0079d ago

Name me a publisher whose intention is not to make a billion dollars from their IP. The intention should be to make a good game and then find ways to milk it out of legitimacy.

Profchaos78d ago

Night dive and lrg is more hey let's keep the lights on and play some classics.
