I play lots of Black Widow. Bro plays lots of Venom. The first reaction new people who play with us have, is "woah that ass". Our default response is "whose?"
So...like....did they just scan her ass with lidar and import it into the game? Because that, alone, doesn't seem like a tremendous asset. Ass libraries must be a dime a dozen. That's a tradition as old as the copying machine.
Or did they recycle mocap suit data? That seems much more valuable than a blender rendered rump.
Possibly dressed her up similar to the character photo scanned then retopologized, touched up, etc. Could be they just made a basic female model and used it as a foundation.
Possible she did some mocap as well.
Big thing is it's easier to make mocap look natural on a model if the model and mocap actor are the same person. Though for a game this stylized I'm not sure it would matter.
I don't personally like that kinda ass, more into the "fits in one hand" kinda booty (like my wife's), but I gotta admire. That's not an everyday ass. She worked hard to shape it like that, got what she wanted and is proud of it. Go girl!
It actually is pretty fun. I can see this quickly going sour, but currently it is a much better game than Overwatch. No idea what the future holds, but hopefully NetEase can pull through. I loved Super Mecha Champions (2021-2025 RIP, you were gone too soon- Alborada my beloved), so hopefully they keep things going and don't end this one like some of their other ones (DBD Mobile, for example).
It does a good job of onboarding people. The general tutorial is relatively short and sweet, and character specific tutorials are even shorter. It also gives each character a rank (in stars) for how complex that character is to use effectively.
The game itself is pretty chaotic, so it's easy to convince yourself that your deaths are incidental, and your victories are a result of you playing well. And as long as you're having fun you'll be okay with that. But if at any point you start feeling like someone has your foil, just change characters mid-match and try a new tactic. There's so many characters you can experiment until you find theirs.
I do not care at all about any Marvel stuff and don’t know many chars but my friend who does wanted to play. I gotta say… it’s a BLAST. I like that I can be a furry.
Probably an effect of the angle. Standing erect, the wrist will usually be aligned with the groin. Women tend to have shorter torsos and longer legs compared to men of the same height, so a wrist that goes a bit below the groin line will still look ok. Since the Marvel Rivals character designs are all very stylized, you can bet she has really nice legs
The pic that gives the biggest impression tho is the first on the left, with the arm stretched back a bit, but again, mostly an angle thing.
Someone is going to make a long post about how women is being portrayed as sexual objects in games and will absolutely refuse to acknowledge this post.
Someone is going to be super triggered about a woman somewhere not liking women being portrayed as sexual objects in games and is going to post about it here
Well just you make sure and save this post to share in the future since it obviously undermines and refutes all of those concerns from those other broads.
So tired of it being 2025 and these posts making it to Lemmy. Have any of you ever actually played some of the queer games out there? I've played lesbian games made by women mostly targeting an audience for women that are so spicy they'd set your skin on fire. It's not the sexuality that's an issue, it's a larger cultural conversation about where these things belong, how they're viewed by the masses, and the impression it creates on children who this is ostensibly for too, I guess? Teens? Still impressionable.
Grow up and go play an h-game in your own privacy and don't make it everyone else's problem. And stop laundering your opinion with "someone is going to make a post". You made the post, you brought the trash into the house, and the (current) 9 upvotes shows you're giving it space to breath and quite frankly, it reeks.
EDIT: no opinion on post, I don't care how caked she is. If I were that actress, I'd honestly be proud, too.
Last post and I'm done here, but let me explain the post and my response:
Someone is going to make a long post about how women is being portrayed as sexual objects in games and will absolutely refuse to acknowledge this post.
Poster is implying that someone (leftist, feminist, anyone they don't agree with) will come in here and complain about how sexual this is. Rather than expressing any genuine sentiment or opinion of their own, they assumed one for someone else, a strawman to bat at. It's a dogwhistle, an attempt to bait out and rehash old Gamergate shit. I mean, I do have to assume because again, I cannot overstate how lazy and insincere it is to make a post like this that does not express your own opinion and implies someone else's.
The primary point I was trying to make with the overall post is that it's not sex or sexuality that is the problem. Didn't Larian release a mainstream game where you could have sex as a bear? Look, the ORIGINAL Twitter post is the model indicating how proud she is, I think we can very confidently say she does not feel like she's being treated as a sexual object in this context and most people can see that. OP cannot distinguish the difference between sexuality in videogames and treating women as sexual objects. That's gross and they need to sit and think on that for a LONG while, preferably before ever talking to a woman again.
EDIT: Just listen to women. If a woman says, "I feel like I'm being objectified", you stop. If a woman says, "Damn, I look sexy!" you say, "Hell yeah!"
I thought the connection to the initial comment was made very clear. The initial comment said:
Someone is going to make a long post about how women is being portrayed as sexual objects in games and will absolutely refuse to acknowledge this post.
audaxreik's initial reaction basically just berated them for saying this, but in the most recent post audaxreik explained this hostility. Loosely speaking, the initial comment was an unprovoked strawman attack against feminism - and audaxreik wanted to push back against that.
In any case, I think the discussion here has run its course.
You know, fair enough, you caught me in a "think of the children" argument and I never expected to be the one here. But I stand by my point. And wash my hands of the matter.
Returning to the queer games I mentioned earlier, those are by and large indie games. And quite adult/NSFW. Not strictly by nature of being queer to be clear, simply having LGBTQ+ representation doesn't make it adult. Just being in that space, those are the themes they choose to explore. Do you see the nuance here?
We're mammals, we stand at the pinnacle of human technology and evolution, man and woman hand-in-hand shouting, "Boobs! Boobs! Boobs! Boobs! Boobs!" (or butt, whatever, I've made my stance known). The boobs and butts belong in specific times/places and when that lines up properly, let us exalt them. But can we at least agree that the time/place is at a bare minimum NOT everywhere all the time?
Bringing up these tired arguments forfeits your place at the table. But even further, these are all mainstream corporate interests regarding Marvel and Disney and property/brand characters. Let it go. Fuck them into a hole in the ground, fill it with cement, and leave the grave unmarked. These arguments exist because we choose to exalt these properties instead, of which there are limited spaces in a roster, dying for "mainstream" representation of everyone's preferred "thing". Just go play an indie that suits you. You'll find weirder ones that hyper focus your own fetishes and fixations to a point where it's almost terrifying.
The true question is who was Venom modeled after, because that's the top tier ass.
:|
I am laughing way too hard at that "No?" "Nope."
"...nothing at all....nothing at all..."
I play lots of Black Widow. Bro plays lots of Venom. The first reaction new people who play with us have, is "woah that ass". Our default response is "whose?"
me
Well shit, you got a damn fine ass!
How can that be the Invisible Woman's ass if I can't stop staring?
I'm sorry, but nothing can replace my beloved Cortana in the 0g Halo 😤
All 6 polygons.
I was like 12 at the time bro, ass is ass at that age! lol
90s kids remember Lara Croft
Halo 4 Cortana though 😩
Well, good for her!
Also, daaaaaaaammmn!
I'm impressed by her ability to recognize a particular butt as her own.
Then again, maybe she's like Tina Belcher.
I say: if you got it-be proud of it.
Only her ass? That is a weird thing to do.
Without more info, I'm assuming the rest is also modeled after her but she's just excited about the ass.
To be fair, that's a very fine ass
I mean, it does look like a lot of work. No reason not to be proud of your work.
Yeah boobs are luck or money. Ass and legs are accomplishments!
I'll need more pics for comparison before I'm absolutely sure
She worked hard for that ass... be proud girl.. =∆
equals delta? confused math noises
Do you mean to say 'same difference'?
Holy wow, I'm so disappointed in myself for not seeing that xD
I sometimes do this to indicate an uneducated personal statement which could be wrong =)
Ahhhh, good to know! Maybe that'll take off!
So...like....did they just scan her ass with lidar and import it into the game? Because that, alone, doesn't seem like a tremendous asset. Ass libraries must be a dime a dozen. That's a tradition as old as the copying machine.
Or did they recycle mocap suit data? That seems much more valuable than a blender rendered rump.
I also call mine that
Possibly dressed her up similar to the character photo scanned then retopologized, touched up, etc. Could be they just made a basic female model and used it as a foundation.

wait the rivals invisible woman was actually modeled her after a real human being?
Mommy Storm

What game?
Marvel Rivals. I haven't played it yet, but I keep hearing good things.
It actually is pretty fun. I can see this quickly going sour, but currently it is a much better game than Overwatch. No idea what the future holds, but hopefully NetEase can pull through.

I'm genuinely surprised by how much I enjoyed it.
I do not care at all about any Marvel stuff and don’t know many chars but my friend who does wanted to play. I gotta say… it’s a BLAST. I like that I can be a furry.
Game just added to my wishlist due to this "asset"...
Is this for Marvel Rivals?
Yeah. They're adding the Fantastic Four to it.
Btw, her (blue girl) arms are too long, looks weird.
Probably an effect of the angle. Standing erect, the wrist will usually be aligned with the groin. Women tend to have shorter torsos and longer legs compared to men of the same height, so a wrist that goes a bit below the groin line will still look ok. Since the Marvel Rivals character designs are all very stylized, you can bet she has really nice legs
The pic that gives the biggest impression tho is the first on the left, with the arm stretched back a bit, but again, mostly an angle thing.
No complaints
Nice phone, what model?
Call your folks, they'll be so proud!
I don't care about your game or your ass.
You don't care so much you had to let everyone know. The true mark of not caring.
Someone is going to make a long post about how women is being portrayed as sexual objects in games and will absolutely refuse to acknowledge this post.
Someone is going to be super triggered about a woman somewhere not liking women being portrayed as sexual objects in games and is going to post about it here
Well just you make sure and save this post to share in the future since it obviously undermines and refutes all of those concerns from those other broads.
So what?
And simultaneously refuse to acknowledge how men are portrayed the same way.

I'm genuinely confused as to who or what you're talking about. I don't get how this relates to the comment you replied to or the OP...
Ikr? It's so out of place as a response to the comment it's under.
See response ^

Slight quibble: in BG3 you can have sex with a bear (who is the shape shifted form of an absolutely beefcake elf druid).
Would, and did.
Dude, you do realize that that still has nothing to do with the comment you responded to?
If you had made it as a top level comment of your own, it would make sense. Maybe that's what you intended; I know I've fucked that up many a time.
Again, my only issue is that what you said wasn't connected to the comment above it, but the content of your statements.
I thought the connection to the initial comment was made very clear. The initial comment said:

Children, impressionable? How many buts and dolled up women do they see in real life?

I do not understand, did someone cake that poor girl?
