The art style is ridiculous but I still like it. At least you know that they enjoyed making it.
But now everybody knows! All is lost!
Also the Sorceress is clearly making herself look like that. If I was an all powerful magus I'd do it to.
Hopefully this gets a port to something I plan to own.
I wouldn't, but I have a beard. Boobs and beards do not mix well.
I am going to buy this when it comes out. Vanillaware's game just look to pretty not to have them. Being also helps a lot.
To be fair it's probably the only time some actually see them so it might be frightening to a few that have yet to experience them on a woman and realize, they're just breast you boob!
This is pure unmitigated bullshit. The whole "you can't dislike it if you're not a women" rejoinder is the hallmark argument of someone with absolutely no backup for his position.
This art doesn't come close to being offensive to women, it's way beyond that. It's just straight up gross. Those body shapes literally cannot possibly exist at all.
Same thing with this crap. The constant, purile whine to "get over it" combined with multiple insults. Great, it doesn't bother you. It bothers me. How about you deal with that instead since you think you're so fucking good at it?
y-you mean real people don't look like the sorceress or dwarf?
oh god
my immersions
"Hey, let's make a spiritual sequel to King of Dragons and fill it with tits."
...sold.
I think we're done with this tangent.
The game looks like a great throwback to old quarter-munchers, like Castle Crashers viewed through the lens of Conan. But PS3/Vita only? BLUH.
You've ALL seen this before if you've seen any screenshots of characters from DoA or Soul Calibur 4. This isn't new, and this isn't the last time you'll see this sort of thing. I also expect most "cute" Japanese games to always include magical girls with the biggest brightest eyes, and teeny tiny dresses with omgpantyshots. It's pretty much a standard these days, and until that changes, there's little point in arguing about it.
To go back on topic - I'm completely sold on this game. I've never played a Vanillaware game (really considered Odin Sphere for a while) and I'm all for side-scroller beat-em-ups. The features they're looking to add to the game like level ups and new weapons/skills adds depth to an otherwise boring genre, and I couldn't be happier.
Dibs on Dwarf.

That Amazon is pretty scary though, like maybe we have a body part in common that only I should have.
Now I have to struggle with figuring out if this game is worth $249
Watch me, I'm about to scheme, here I go
I'm thinking I will trade in my Wii, and the two games I have left for it towards the console and this game.
Do want a handheld console.
I can't wait to play it. They ride saber tooth tigers!
What exactly would someone dealing with the fact it bothers you look like? Are you essentially daring people to be apathetic about your opinion with which they disagree? I can't wait to see how that turns out.
P.S.: I'm very much buying this. I absolutely love brawler type games.

Bear with me here.
If nobody complains about stupid bullshit like this, then why would anyone ever change it?
LoL: failboattootoot
But using "well everyone else does it" as a defense for some of the, uh, aesthetic choices of this game is ridiculous
Agreed.
And as Arkady said, accepting something that's wrong in the industry and not saying anything about it while shrugging and saying that "everyone does it", is pretty stupid.
I don't believe what is in Dragon's Crown is worth complaining about (YET - who knows if there's some horribad stereotyping voice/story that's going to be in the game that will push it over the line), but if you do feel like this is wrong and shouldn't be part of the industry, then say something. Don't just shrug and accept it, or it'll never change.

I mean, there are tons of games you can point to, like Red Dead Redemption or BioShock that have the same effect as a movie or painting or something. No one's going to say "Yeah, those are good, but this game has bewbs all up ins, so your arguement is invalid!"
As someone else has already stated, I am also an "unmitigated tit hound" so I don't know if my opinion counts.
What's going on here is very clear: hypersexualization of the female form (I'd argue that the males are as well). It's totally okay if you don't like it, I myself was a bit taken aback by it. But it's one silly little game and this guy isn't doing any damage to the industry. Even high art has addressed this issue before.
So you're gonna ignore that no neck space marine is the same thing as giant tits McGee in order to say testicles are sexually arousing ?
Wow.
It works both ways in this industry every Duke Nukem has a Lara Croft but its only offensive when its a girl. So kindly take your double standard and fuck off.
I don't even know what this is. Nobody said that games weren't art (they absolutely are) and nobody said other art forms don't do the same shit (they absolutely do). It is just as bad when other visual mediums do it.

He's a gross exaggeration of male stereotypes designed to attract male gamers just like the female exaggeration female gamers don't factor into this. As far as most publishers are concerned they don't exist.
While your point is valid and hyper masculine mega machismo is a problem, I don't think it's quite as demeaning/problematic as the degree to which ultra sexualization of women can be. Men are not being sexualized, they are being idealized by men. Women are being sexualized, and idealized as far as the male gaze is concerned.
See the difference?

Pity a PS3 or Vita aren't on my to-get list.
Someday, though.
I see both as harmful. And Yes I'd like to see it remedied at somepoint but arguing about it ona forum where most of the users are in their late 20s seems pointless.
