mature modern games are unapologetic and give you a genital selection too

the question is, are you a penis a or penis b type???

[-] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 46 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

And despite all of that maturity, they still do male-gaze, heteronormative centric design.

In BG3, Type A halflings (male presenting) are all dumpy and kinda goofy-looking. Type B halflings are all banging smokeshows. Give me the dumpy looking halflings, man.

In Cyberpunk, the camera lingers on nude women, but hides or ignores male nudity, even if the player character is fem presenting and chooses a male partner.

There's a YouTube video about this, but I can't find it. I'll update later if I do (and remember)

[-] Kaligalis@lemmy.world 8 points 19 hours ago

Of course, they do the male gaze. The majority of the male audience loves it and the majority of the female audience doesn't care enough to prevent a sale.
It's a no-brainer to implement male gaze if your target audience includes males. It's easy to do and yields a lot of goodwill from that part of the audience. Some gacha games make tons of money just doing the male gaze and literally slopping everything else. It's absurd how well sex sells.

basically the entire anime and vtuber "cultures" have been nothing but horny bait for years now. What really gets me is how it pretends not to be

[-] starchylemming@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

eh, sounds like an accidental noting burger.

these games are taking inclusion steps. but that doesn't mean they need to stop catering for the majority. its still art made by humans and their own preferences find a way in

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 6 points 16 hours ago

Catering to the majority is a little wild of a statement. There are a lot of games I'd be embarrassed to play in public because they cater too hard to the lonely, horny dude demographic.

Its fine to put that stuff in but devs should be making it optional so people can play shit in public spaces.

[-] ziproot@lemmy.ml 6 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

The usage of the virtual camera in cyberpunk described above is textbook male gaze. Male gaze is specifically about how people aim cameras (in this case virtual cameras) with the assumption that the audience is primarily composed of cisgender, heterosexual men. It seems like you are making this same assumption here when you say “catering for the majority,” especially considering data shows a roughly 50/50 split: https://www.statista.com/statistics/326420/console-gamers-gender/

EDIT: I switched to a global link. The URL says console gamers. The graph title says any device.

[-] BlackLaZoR@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

Any device

That's too broad to be meaningful,since it ignores mobile vs console vs PC preference

[-] Mika@piefed.ca 12 points 1 day ago

Lmao reminds me the stat where Larian said that the absolute majority played HUMAN WARRIOR :D

The werewolf in Skyrim got physics enabled flaccid dong because I wanted to helicopter in VR and thought it only changed humanoid NPC and player character, not monsters. It was a super funny surprise seeing that giant salami flopping around in the scripted scene for whatever quest that was. Good job, dev.

[-] starchylemming@lemmy.world 78 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

tbh baldurs gate and cyberpunk really lacked a proper donger slider

would even be lore accurate with cybernetic dick enhancements in cyberpunk and magic in dnd

[-] jdr@lemmy.ml 37 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Sorry. That's on me.

I was the one responsible for implementing the donger slider in Cyberpunk but I kept getting distracted with all the donger slider field research.

Honestly a real-life donger slider is worth the investment.

True. I invested in my left hand early on and it has really paid off.

[-] Wren@lemmy.today 12 points 1 day ago

Cyberpunk had some great mods, though. It's just too bad they didn't show up in the sex scenes.

[-] marxismtomorrow@lemmy.today 5 points 1 day ago

You need to reevaluate where you get your mods. There's plenty of mods specifically changing the sex scenes, expanding them, and allowing ridiculous things to happen within them.

[-] sundray@lemmus.org 9 points 1 day ago

Fantasy games should have that one extra ring slot.

[-] Janx@piefed.social -2 points 1 day ago

underrated comment

[-] makeshiftreaper@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

There are ads in game and a quest dedicated to the Mr Studd penis implant so it'd be canon too

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

yeah and why can't we buy exploding dick enhancements (or dick cannons) like that one dude we gotta give a ride to

[-] LePoisson@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I feel like there are cybernetic dick enhancements in cyberpunk but they're not widespread or used a lot. Like they usually are peddled by sketchy folks and don't seem to be something advertised that much.

I mean, good chance I'm wrong on that but that was kind of the vibe I got playing the game.

Dong slider is a hilarious thought. I don't know enough about coding and game development but it feels like it might be hard to get the animations right if you had a slider vs selection because you'd have to be figuring out animations for those titties or cock on the fly.

But maybe that's just me showing my lack of knowledge, perhaps a slider from tiny titties to big ol tatas is already a thing in some games. I guess it's also dependent on the game engine.

[-] phailhaus@piefed.social 3 points 2 hours ago

We know there are. There's a quest in CP2077 involving a guy who's system catches fire.

He's voiced by a streamer my wife likes. She had no idea he was in the game and loved the absurdity of that quest.

[-] LePoisson@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Oh yeah I know they exist I just figured they're more like underground and poorly regulated was what I was getting at.

That is a funny mission. CP2077 genuinely has some excellent writing.

[-] tzrlk@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

just gotta wait till they do a FATAL CRPG...

[-] xkbx@startrek.website 2 points 1 day ago

I mean there’s that one guy who said it felt like his dick was stuck in a goddamn pencil sharpener

[-] zaphod@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 day ago

Yeah, but his implant was broken.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

never buy a used mr studd

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

The dong physics have gotten pretty good

[-] Sabata11792@ani.social 23 points 1 day ago

Wheres my cybernetic lady horse cock? Immersion ruined.

[-] flandish@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago

check your mouth. that’s where i keep mine.

I pick the micropenis because I'm short and proud of it.
