If only the developers had the foresight to dress the female characters in this game with full-body hijabs. Then it would surely get a 10/10 here.

Good. I eagerly await it, considering she was the one who knocked MK vs DC for not being violent enough.

Haven't played that but that's fair considering that's one thing that's consistent with Mortal Kombat.

Some guy of GAF came up with this, so I don't take credit: All the necromancers in Vanillaware games have big breasts, they also raise the dead. Breasts are seen as gifts of life in many cultures, and characters like the sorceress are made to represent that.

i like the part where he calls it "borderline softcore porn" and "a betrayal". apparently art direction is treason.

"Unfortunately, though there's a lot to love about the art, there's also a lot to dislike. A large number of female characters, including the sorceress and amazon, are rendered in a way that sometimes feels akin to softcore pornography. It's potentially offensive, not to mention lewd, to the point that it feels like a betrayal of the artistic skill on display. It doesn't come close to ruining what's great in Dragon's Crown, but it leaves a stain on thegame."

:lol:

Really?

This guy has lost all credibility.

:cool: So much wisdom in that post. The guy who wrote that on GAF is a wise man indeed. Breasts are the givers of life. I will celebrate bewbs for as long as I live. This game could have scored a 3/10 and I would still buy it. I loved Golden Axe as a kid and this game reminds me of it. Day one purchase, SDC :cool:.

There's a comment about the female characters having big boobs, but not one about the dwarf who is just a humungous, bulging mass of muscles, and the fighter who has an enormous upper body.

The knights head is also apparently too small for his body.

These people are going to try and make sense of garfield next.

Ok so after Ninja Gaiden, Dead or Alive, and the Soul Calibur series out right pandered to "sex appeal" game journalist are just now talking about it being a detriment to "artistic integrity."

The devs also had this as a character design in their past game and we never heard a peep:
