I can agree with that argument in general, but not on freaking Tomb Raider, a preexisting franchise where a part of the protag's character is her exaggerated, uh... sexuality. (nothing like Elexis Sinclaire from SiN but still) Make the games you like but guys with pixel waifus are naturally going to be up in arms when you take their games away because of modern sensibilities.
There are maybe 5 people in all of KiA2 that will get the reference to Elexis Sinclair and/or SiN. Congratulations. :D
Yes, I played it, still have the CD. ;)
Anyone who played games in the 1990s remember her.... and we were also all emulating the main protag's facial expression in that ending cutscene where we got caught out looking instead of thinking about shooting.
(plus they used to have a bunch of two-page poster spreads of her (for promoting the game) in the old PC gaming magazines)
also bianca beauchamp as model at their booth.
It's a shame we didn't get a "proper" sequel. I heard the creatives were forced to clamp down their vision for Emergence and make it a more generic shooter, but were told if it was successful they were going to take the leash off for episode 2. I guess we'll never know.
Tomb Raider is not coomer bait though.
Not really (what is though? Gacha games?) but as far as I can tell the whole reason Melonie started whining about this topic is she got called out for defending the Tomb Raider remake's censoring of a poster.
Some gacha games are definitely coomer bait, or Stellar Blade with the alternate costumes.
I missed the poster thing, but Melonie's biggest tweet on this issue was calling out The First Descendant for a booty dance emote. She's a little too emotional, but it is a real problem. Sex and figurine culture has hollowed out large sectors of anime and gaming.
