From a visual standpoint the actual game part looks good, and what Vicarious Visions did here makes all of Bizzard's talk when they were first showing off Diablo 3 about how it does actually look like the previous games all the funnier.

The talk about them making the Paladin black is stupid given he was black before. I can kind of get missing this in the in-game model, but he's very clearly a black guy in the art for the magazine ad.

Amazon has a man face now and I'm not sure how anyone could say she looks like she did in the original game.

The characters faces do however all look more generic now, and almost all of them seem to have been aged up around 15 years.

The way they talked about approaching the game with a controller seems a little weird when games built around the controller like Dragons Dogma have shown you can very easily let the player select precisely where they want the action to hit on the ground. I'd think that would be even easier to do in top down than that games third person view. Instead they seem to be doing things the way Diablo 3 on consoles did thing, which worked, but there's also been stuff like Lost Ark and even that Diablo iOS game that seem to do that better.

You are arguing with tranny weeb coomers mate. Moreover there are like 15 different art pieces of amazon going from german helga to some fucked up in head young one. Them going with more helga like is just as valid as going with more slim one. The main difference is in age really and race swap for assasin but like i stated previously she was always weeb trap i am willing to bet that there were concept arts of her as asian if i remember correctly. Imho i think they race swapped her for chinese market she looks more like chinese asian ork than japanese weebos material.

Imho the age difference is neat nod to 20 years of d2. Every chracter looks like 20 years older.

Also Reinhart locked his profile for view. Geee i wonder why. You know hwat is the mmost funny about them ? They are the one who popularized trannies garbage aside from other fucked up shit. They call every woman now tranny because they are already fapping to some trannies in anime and they want to look normal. Almost all trannies are fucking weeb coomers.

Preach, brother. Else why would most transgenders use anime profile pictures? That shit is poisoning people's minds: at the inability to bang the anime girl, they have decided to become the (poor imitation of) anime girl.

My liking it or not has nothing to do with the issue. They did change the design to conform with 2021 ideals.

Sorry, but that's your opinion based on "character ugly, fucking SJWs ruining muh games".
It's pretty much the current punching game in videogames. If anything is changed in a way that reduces sex appeal, then surely there must be an agenda going on! And yet, people tend to change their mind on things they have worked on in the past, because times change and people change too. I dislike games I used to think were great, and I enjoy games I used to think were shit. Likewise, back then the devs must have thought "this Amazon chick is banging!", and now they may have thought "this character looks retarded".

In the future, we will end with every character in videogames looking like an anime girl because that's all gamers seem to care about. And like those gacha games, the gameplay will be shit but since you can coom to the games, all's fine.

What does this have to do with anything?

Straight males are the main customer of video games.
Women in video games are objects that should be sexually attractive to us.
And if not, we have every right to complain.
Our money, our rules.
Is there a problem, niggers?

Don't worry your little poofter head over it, I'm sure most of those gacha games have swole buff men for people of your tastes.

It's interesting how nobody else says this apart from straight men. At least I have never heard a woman say something like that, or even a gay guy. Why do (suspiciously a lot of) straight men not care about the people they profess to love?

I don't get it, what amount of mental gymnastics you have to perform to simultaneously acknowledge the cult of trannyism and its influences yet in the same breath disregard and renounce the fact that there is an obviously blatant (politically motivated) agenda by the companies to "uglify" past creations and conform to the new perverted "normal" of beauty standards. These two are so closely correlated you'd have to be genuinely retarded to be unable to make sense out of it.

Blizzard are a massive capitalist company. They don't care about politics and as such don't have a political agenda. They do what they think will sell. If you don't like what they are selling, you aren't the target audience and/or in the majority of the audience.

That is the difference, men are pretty straightfoward, go to Tinder and say you are an obese dwarf on minimum wage to see how women like your "personality".

Women in video games are LITERALLY objects, they are pixels created with computer code.
They have the ability to be made with maximum sexual attraction, there's no reason not to do it unless there are other motives behind the scenes.

I see that Perkel has gone full chimp mode.

I have enough of weebs masquerading as normal people trying to make point about real humans looks while jacking off to futa porn or gay shit or any other fucked up shit they come up with on daily basis treating it as "normal".

Amazon is clearly 35-40ish hard boiled milf. You have to be a fucking weeb coomer to not see it. In fact those same coomers probably are now making tranny anime porn with her to fap later. Because they actively want her to be tranny. This is how degenerate they are.

That's not really "clearly Black" still could just as well be properly tanned Mediterranean or Indian. The racial features on the provided pic aren't really clearly negroid, though there are hints of it, I'll grant you that.

I have never heard a gay guy say "the guys in my media are/should be objects for my sexual pleasure", so I'm not so sure about whether it's about women "just being women". Maybe both women and gay men are thinking it, but never say it. I'm not a mind-reader, however, so I wouldn't know.

Extremely dumb take and willfully blind at that. The diverse bugmen and women in charge of these companies are themselves true believers, they aren't your outdated caricature of money-obsessed old white guys who wear top hats and smoke cigars in boardrooms. They care about power and shaping narratives more than anything else, the occasional monetary hit to the bottom line means nothing to them. Social media companies are ok with colluding with each other and banning half their users in some cases, where is the profit in that?

Let me just take something women or gays cherish and ruin it for them, then. Like swapping all models in a gay magazine for womyn, perhaps?

Why do (suspiciously a lot of) straight men not care about the people they profess to love?

How does this follow from the other two sentences?

I like that he is going: "You all are degenerates that like trannies because you dont like characters that look like trannies." It is pretty entertaining.

It is anime weeb 101. You call every woman tranny but you jack off to anime titties. I mean just look at people post history who calls her tranny. They literally non stop post weeb shit fapping to that shit.

Though you might not know it if you don't dwell on 4chan where most of those human refuse exists that sometimes spills on other boards like here now. Here is a secret probably half of them fap to tranny porn doing switcharo where they publicly de-ingrate it but fap to it privately.

Don't go into furry territory. Those are special kind of human refuse even worse than average weeb. Thanfully i don't see them on codex. Only normal human refuse from time to time. At least they fully know they are degenerates that would get first free ticket to auschwitz.

Exactly, we've seen times and again that companies go against their own best (most profitable) interests for the sake of ideology, either at the behest of one/handful influential individuals or the uppermost parts of the management. Perhaps the most infamous recent example is TLOU2, yet people still persist in this "Nononon it's all about money" notion.
