Junk buff is what we need.
Have you noticed they have no... package?
Seriously, man, I noticed it pretty much straight away. These men don`t have anything down there. It don`t look normal. i`m an artist and when I draw men you have to make a space for their `package` or they`re females- Or eunuchs.
:S
I know I`ve set myself up for lots of ribbing, but I have to point this out.
Next episode I`ll be pointing out how women`s chest area (sheesh stop with the censorship already!) is ridiculously flat.
Yes we're listening, and no that's probably something that won't be added in.

I don't think it'd help much... the female faces are almost universally uglyand the lack of long hair just makes it worse. There seems no chance of making a space princess:

But the game is rated PEGI 7. I mean you do understand what that means, right? I'm frankly amazed that it's able to even touch on some of the themes that it does with that rating.
It's nothing to do with being 'uptight' or 'moralising' the game has to be pitched at a level that would be appropriate for a seven year old kid. Not your seven your old kid either, if you happen to have one, but an average or hypothetical seven year old kid. FDev aren't responsible for policing all the human misery in the universe but they are responsible for policing their game according to its rating, it's just a fact of life.
For me, they could have pretty much anything goes; anybody who ran across me in Battlestar Galactica Online could tell you that there's literally nothing that someone could call their ship, say to me in chat or indeed on the forums that I'd be weeping into a hanky about, I'd just respond in kind or more likely escalate it a few levels.
However I wouldn't be comfortable with someone's seven year old daughter sitting there reading some of the exchanges I've had with players both in-game and on the forums of other games and like it or not, this game is sold as suitable for that age group.
Really though, is anybody seriously suggesting that this is really the reason for diminutive schlongs in the game? I very much doubt it.
Rather than namby pamby censorship, maybe, just maybe, the artist's vision of future human forms is simply not the same as yours.Thats great and all but last time I checked the vast majority of the player base was >18. I'm not asking for Conan Exile type sliders but more commenting about the mindset at the studio. Everything they produce is all fluffy and safe, and its that sort of vision that limits their capacity to create better games.
Other studios are less stuffy, and reap the rewards of more edgy games which arent targeted towards seven year olds. Some time back DB wrote about whats acceptable re games. I think it was in relation to a game which put in some terrorist thing where a real incident occured (if memory serves). Now he may have had a point but I find it goes too far.
Its worth bearing in mind this game is meant to take place in a cutthroat galaxy but one where breast size is off limits. But to put things into perspective war, genocide, slavery, murder and a whole host of other themes are okay. Its an odd world we live in.

The issue here as far as I can see is that frontier is trying not to cause offense, however their reasoning is well of on this as after all, I am not offended by the fact that the female form is shapely, well proportioned and has curves, that's just how females are meant to be. It's just a representation of a female ideal that's added to the game. The female ideal has b o o b s which is what you'd expect. So it naturally should be that the male body, being the male ideal for this particular game should have a bulge in the same way that the female form has b o o b s because it's a defining characteristic of that particular sex and not offensive at all.
I'm not offended by b o o b s as they anatomically correct, a male bulge is also anatomically correct and should be included. If not, then Frontier is actually being sexist and treating the female sex more favourably than the male in this particular case. It's reverse sexism which is just as bad and just as wrong as plain old regular sexism. Positive discrimination is still discrimination.
For once I'm speechless.
I also believe the body type is too weedy as well. And waddaya know, I also do karate. however, men looking like eunuchs just stands out as anatomically incorrect... Perhaps I notice it more because as an artist you must have an eye for such things. But even the common person knows there`s something wrong.
I suspect it`s a `pc` genderless thing that I`ve heard going around in some sjw places- it affects games devs too. A fear to show men as men and women as women cos that`s `sexist` which is a social construct! [haha]
Faces are fine though.
yes but it is very cold in space and we all know what happens to these things in the cold.
Wait, what? You feel discriminated against because of the size of your e-peen? :S
