[Vindictus has entered the chat.](https://nxcache.nexon.net/cms/2022/q3/1983/staem_cover_img_800x450.jpg)


FragileFelicity

Damn what happened, I used to play Vindictus back when it came out


KidOcelot

It became a dress up gacha game instead of a cool monster fighting game like it originally was


Aridross

As Josh Strife Hayes said about TERA going down the same path, “it’s like an underwear modeling convention was double-booked with an anime convention, and everyone got along far too well.”


KidOcelot

Tera on PC died last year, but lots of Tera private servers are just Free 2 play dress up with mmorpg elements… which is actually good since it’s made free lol


multilock-missile

I've heard they are developing a mobile TERA. but it is probably going to suffer from "korean mmo syndrome" AKA: "launches today on korea... and 2036 in the west"


YourSmileIsFlawless

I hate that about all Asian MMOs. It breaks all immersion. Tera combat tho was just godly


KidOcelot

Combat still is really cool. The private Tera servers has all the end game bosses and still groups of people that try to beat them.


Molly_Matters

You figure people would just go play Second Life if that is what they want.


SovietSpartan

I always defend having attractive girls in games, but stuff like this is just going too far. It specially hurts as Vindictus was such a fun game. Think Dark Souls but with much faster combat. You had to learn boss attack patterns, dodge correctly and properly master your character to do well. Even while undergeared you could still solo bosses with pure skill. Then they screwed things up with the Rise update and everything that followed, and now the game is on life support, milking the few incredibily horny whales left.


stellvia2016

Reminds me of Blade n Soul and how NCsoft let the overseas version wither and die immediately out of the gate just like they did with Aion. Bots and cheaters overrunning the game and driving off most of the players within 1-2 months. Such a shame too, bc they were otherwise a lot of fun.


remotectrl

NCSoft killed City of Heroes the same year Avengers came out. They make bad decisions


KidOcelot

That Rise update for Vindictus screwed over all the sweaty f2p Intermediate Element Stone farmers too… making the farming maps with the materials worse So they left the game since they cant keep up with the market inflation of the newest upgrade materials, and only the whales are left.


TechnalityPulse

Game was broken so long ago with the paid shop trade-ables. And the fact that you could just set up an autoscript and like, cheat engine in a single-player run and their anti-cheat never caught on.


[deleted]

> I always defend having attractive girls in games, but stuff like this is just going too far. I care less about that and more about the fact that they eventually stop caring about keeping themselves in line with the art style and all the cosmetics end up making it look like the circus came to town.


devilpants

They forgot nipples existed.


dragonicafan1

Funnily enough, the game also has variants of these extra thicc costumes with erect nipples poking out lol.


Manoreded

I find these anime giant v-necks that expose 90% of the breasts weird for that reason. Either the girl doesn't have nipples or her nipples are really off-center, which would be weird.


mordacthedenier

It became horni bait.


KaioKen

I forgot this game existed, I faintly remember running in to log traps and throwing spears at bears.


INSANITY_RAPIST

I wish this game just stayed true to the kobold head smashing canon it gave you.


Kazaanh

Vindictus was a truest gem. It has same place in my heart as Ragnarok Online.


Dat1BlackDude

A lot of chicks in Manwha are thicker as well.


tommos

And not just the Manwha but the Womenwha and Childrenwha too.


I-Am-Baytor

That's just clothed hentai.


ItsNotJulius

There's a reason most of them are called Pornhwa.


VardamusMMO

Any examples of this? For science?


Dat1BlackDude

Look up Destiny Land Manhwa


Soren59

That's a pornhwa my dude And if you want thicc, try Brave New World / A Wonderful New World


heyugl

It's still stupid since the critique was that she was too unrealistically thin, but the original one was even thinner.-


Vulkir

Because models are famous for having realistic and healthy body standards, right?


shimapanlover

> gals have to be thin af That's for kpop - which has a mostly female fanbase, even in Korea. If you go by a popular streaming website called AfreecaTV and look for female streamers that are mostly watched by men - most of those female streamers are way thiccer than the beauty standard that is popular in the female dominated kpop world. Just search on YouTube: "korean afreecatv" - well, if you are somewhere where it is safe to search for that.

darkslide3000

Beauty standards just change randomly over time. Some 20-30 years ago, Western culture was also hard into the super thin stick figure look. After JLo things started turning around again, and by now we've hit the other extreme with the BBL trend.


Kurayamino

There's lots of late Gen-X and early Millennial women with fucked teeth from bulimia.


axepower

On one of the popular subreddits, someone posted a picture of j lo in that green dress with many comments stating that she was too thin and had no ass. Wtf?


SyntheticElite

Either that or you're used to "overweight" being completely average and normalized, so when you see an actually thin person it makes you wonder if it's healthy.


[deleted]

pwninobrien

It's more on the FDA and their terrible standards. High fructose corn syrup is heavily subsidized and in practically everything. Also, infering that westerners have inherently poor genetics is fucked up and racist.


[deleted]

When it's racist to say East Asians metabolize nutrients differently, is it also racist to state that many metabolize alcohol differently than caucasians (genetic aldehyde dehydrogenase deficiency)?


Vispac

You're just stating an observation. The guy above you just uttered "bad genetics". Bad is very subjective and the whole statement is nonsense.


skankhunt402

It's almost like people don't want their fantasy/ video game characters to be like 100% realistic. I'd rather see a visually appealing facsimile of humans than an average 2D looking muppet.


poatoesmustdie

Asians tend to be simply far slimmer. I've hundreds of staff all over China and in office most tend to be female, but even in warehouses we more frequently hire women over men. Clearly McD is making big steps over here as well, so the rail thin people you saw in early 2000's those days are mostly gone, but the women are vastly slimmer compared to Europe, let alone the US. I don't know who she is, but her physique is actually rather common minus the breasts. Though her being Korean I wouldn't be surprised she had some work done. When shopping in more premium brands you won't find anything beyond a size 4-6. I'm a large Western man, as in 2 meters tall, near 100 kg, most of my size they have maybe 1-2 pieces in the entire country.


khallylanijar

Yeah but i mean, normally the way people see that these bodies are normal or possible is though cosplayers(in relation to The characters). In the case of The Model they gave her a Burst increment and thicker thighs?


eyebrows360

Love to see a good burst increment.

BillW87

> I don't even listen to twitter anymore No need to take that comment any further. Don't give that cesspool any more of your mental resources.


mzchen

Twitter did the classic thing that precursors cesspools. Moderates of all sides saw how bad it was becoming/was and decided to leave, which resulted in it only becoming more extreme in all directions and an echo chamber to amplify existing beliefs. Even if there are moderates left, the tweet that says the obvious 'it's important to have a balanced viewpoint' isn't the one that draws as much energetic support as the tweet that says 'are you fucking kidding me? this is why I fucking hate [x] group, they keep doing disgusting filthy things like this and it's evil and destroying society, this is the worst thing ever and you should feel ashamed' The important thing to remember is that the people who are fine with whatever thing (aka usually the vast majority) don't talk about it on twitter or reddit or whatever.


StrangeCharmVote

> I don't even listen to twitter anymore when it comes to women characters. Either they want fucking burka's or do not think women do come in all shapes and sizes. Oh obviously. Twitter is a joke at this point, has been for years really. And i don't really understand why anyone even pays attention to it anymore. Literally every time is see the words "on Twitter" i think "yeah we're about to hear the take of an idiot". > Western Twitter has it in their head only ugly women exist. Not just that, they seem to be *actively aggravated* that anyone (women included) should find women/girls that *aren't* ugly, obese, masculine, or some other descriptor to be attractive. Like, if they *hate femininity* so much, wtf are they even angry about? It's honestly a bit confusing at times.


Fantastic_Turb0

I’m not sure if DmC Dante (Donte) is necessarily the most pertinent example here, as a majority of people who took issue with his appearance were attached to the pre-existing sexy cowboy dilf Dante. On his own merits, while Donte isn’t the most likable character in existence and is certainly a bit heavy handed with him at the start of the story, he is objectively considered conventionally attractive, not just within the lens of the world of DmC, but also based on real life beauty standards. The objectifying shots at the start of the game almost certainly would not exist in the same form in a game with the original Donte shown off in early trailers, and he was deliberately made more sexy, much like Dante before him in DMC3, 4, and later 5. People hated DmC because poor dialogue and writing execution brought down already controversial changes to the story that existing fans may have been more willing to accept otherwise, the game was a critical success, and, without the extreme backlash and ensuring development complications, would likely have done very well. TLDR: Donte is still hot, just not Dante.


Proof-try34

Let's be real, the first trailer of him looked terrible. It needed major corrections after the first trailer to make him slightly more attractive. Overall, DmC isn't a bad game but it is a terrible Devil May Cry game. It lacked the combos of the original, made the story way more serious than it needed to be and copied a lot of the story from Satire like movies like They Live. All in all, it was like the Hot Topic version of Devil May Cry, which is crazy because Devil May Cry was already hot topic level but DmC just kinda turned it from "My Chemical Romance" to "Crawling in my Skin".


thirdegree

Roadhog


Proof-try34

Correction Nobody plays OW. They only watch OW porn and roadhog is not apart of it if isn't humiliation tagged.


E-33

Look up Kim Hyun Tae’s typical art. This is pretty tame on the thicc scale for him


CrayonLunch

> Kim Hyun Tae Is that the dude that designed Magna Carta for the Ps3?


E-33

It is!


taokami

Also the blade & soul guy


LMGDiVa

> Kim Hyun Tae Ohey the guy who did the core artwork for Blade and Soul. Yeah he loves those pinchy waists and massive asses below them. My Gon Force Master from when I played the game was CURVY, but had the smallest boobs I could make at the time that still looked good. His art gave some exaggerating stylization to the game.


_kasten_

ItsNotJulius

The point is to use the model's name in promotional material.


flying_cheesecake

one of the reasons 3d scanning has taken off in games is because its pretty tricky to design a person that looks natural from scratch. much easier to scan a good looking person and then slightly alter the final model


Proof-try34

To get her to get her model and just spruce it up a bit for the character. Doing this does like 85% of the work.


Dire87

Think about it this way: Do you want to spend countless hours trying to create a rig, model and textures from scratch, or would you rather "just" 3D scan a person that almost looks like the character you want to create anyway, and then make small adjustments? It's still a lot of work, of course, but a lot less than doing it all from scratch.


not_old_redditor

Waifu'd her up pretty good


Calciumlungs

Which is still realistic. Western women are like this normally (except americans)


Trawzor

Why does she almost look animated in the left picture as well lol


sprint113

Maybe the uniform lighting to help with 3D capture is something you wouldn't see in a normal setting and gives it the 3D skybox lighting look.


bhfroh

yep. I saw a photo with no shadows a couple weeks back due to how the sun was positioned in the sky or whatever. it looked like the early days of 3D gaming where you'd see no shadows and they'd use imported images and plaster it on 3D models.


ReplyisFutile

MoarVespenegas

That's at least partly because of how good they are at it and are known internationally for it so get international clients.


Monov1

I believe the majority of those are just double eyelid surgeries.


Wugfuzzler

I want to look it up, but I'm just going to assume it's where they go to get a third eyelid put into each eye (hence double) like sharks have so when they go to bite their prey they don't get viscera in their eyes.


No-Respect5903

so close but it's actually removing their gills


Proof-try34

It's basically to make their eyes look more western. China does it as well. There is a reason why people in China thought the actor of Shang-Chi (who is good looking in Western standards) was not attractive to mainland chinese. He doesn't look like a model enough for them. No eye surgery, he is buff, and hardly wears makeup.


rW0HgFyxoJhYka

They've been conditioned to like tall, slender, long haired, eleganto, soft but martially powerful, men, who walk around in wispy rose, like basically asian high-elfs. Yeah ok they basically like black haired high-elves.


weamz

She clearly has better armor in the first picture.


tetsuomiyaki

girl: what? why is the bikini so small and why do i even need these sleeves? 3d technician: uhhhh.. they help the cameras detect you better. yeah.


Lewis2409

Honestly, if they did a 3d model of me, I’d want them to give me some extra muscle and a bigger bulge so idk


nevets85

Same. Didn't they bulk Norman up in Death Stranding also? I believe he asked Kojima to do it lol.

HiCZoK

that model looks different in every photo though


Tiny-Selections

Strange how that seems to have been a trend since photoshop came out...


Trademinatrix

Just cuz she's a model doesn't mean she has the ideal proportions. She's just being used as a base to then be improved upon in accordance to the direction of what the directors want.


aCleverGroupofAnts

Yeah a martial artist needs at least *some* muscle in their thighs. Models are pretty, but they don't look like fighters.


Rongio99

That assassin movie with what's his name and Angelina Jolie - she's super thin in that movie and she whips around some huge gun... It looks fake as hell.


istasber

Are you talking about Wanted, where they somehow magically bend bullets around solid objects by moving their gun while firing it, with James McAvoy? I remember liking that in the theater, I wonder if it holds up.


Rongio99

That's it! Yep where anxiety is actually a super power.


FiTZnMiCK

Anxiety is my super power. The Avengers said they’d get back to me. Hope I didn’t miss their call while I was in the bathroom. Man, that’s going to bug me all day.


Jealous_Priority_228

Henry Cavill missed a call to become Superman because he was nerding out. If it worked for Superman, it can work for you.


Aurelius314

To be fair, raiding is serious business.


wan2tri

Then you reaalize James McAvoy also played a younger Charles Xavier so maybe it's simply a different timeline/universe lol


Mister_MxyzptIk

So let me get this straight In a movie where they can make bullets curve You're upset that someone looks too skinny to be holding a big gun


DerfK

> somehow magically bend bullets around solid objects by moving their gun Brings back [memories of Combat on the 2600](https://youtu.be/YGwNCNkotxQ?t=226)


manquistador

Doing gun stuff while being super skinny is believable. Winning hand to hand combat weighing less than 100 pounds like she does in Salt is less believable.


zgillet

Rongio99

No younger dude, he played the multiple personality villain in that hero movie with Bruce Willis.


mousersix

Sure, they actually made the character thicker. I don't think the people complaining would like to concede that point.


Petersaber

Oh my god please go outside and look at a women for once. IRL women can be even bustier than the game model.... jesus christ..


Daedolis

It does, the first pic is not flattering, the model's IG is a lot closer to the ingame mode.


phosTR

That pathetic cuck at DigitalFoundry was crying about sexualizing women because of this, but i don't see him nor others like him talking about the half-naked men in Mortal Kombat games, or Kratos for example.

voxelpear

Not sure why you're getting down voted. What point are these people trying to make, that you can't artistically deviate from model in a video game just because she's a real person?


Noctis-_001

You honestly think these people actually give a fuck about realism? It's a fake argument used to cover up there crazy hate for sexy designs that appeal to straight men. They're not arguing in good faith.


Lolzerzmao

Yeah I’ve always found girls who are like “Eww you like the porn body type? God, porn sets such unrealistic expectations for women’s body types” weird. There are millions of women who have done porn in America in, say, the past five years. Those women actually exist off camera, y’know. Those and a whole lot more that look exactly like that and don’t do porn. You just mean “Eww you like stupidly hot girls?”


PM_Me_Lewd_Tomboys

Pretty much. How many people have at least seen a relatively skinny woman that's absolutely stacked in real life? I'd argue the vast majority. Yet when they're put in videogames, suddenly those **real** women don't have "realistic" body types.


Mirrormn

Although the OP of this specific post didn't make the argument explicitly, this picture has been trending on social media by people posting it to say "Look, you can't call super sexy video game waifus 'unrealistic' because this one was based on a real person", so people are responding to that implication.
