    That is some weird shit to get upset about, but I suppose I can understand it for a game that seems to have put a lot of effort into the proper related jiggle physics. If I bought a game specifically because it has super realistic anime ass I’d probably be very upset if they took those away.

    We’ve had character fade for decades. Otherwise it can be hard to see upwards for targeting or looking around in third person titles :p

      In ZZZ there’s not much you need to do in the overworld by looking up, it’s 100% to see more angles of the character

    Love the comment in the article about godamn China wanting to take away my anime butts.

    Making your character disappear when the camera is close isn’t even an uncommon thing in games. I think in the past Capcom learned the same lesson Hoyo just learned, cause in Monster Hunter this is an option you can select, but not the default.

    Well that just made me facepalm and mutter, “Fucking gamers” out loud this early in the morning.

    Fucking seriously, how god damn immature can gamers be.

      Ehh, I’m with the gAmErS on this one. ZZZ is very straightforward about what sort of game it aims to be; a game that shows you big ole jiggly tiddies. Whether or not you think that’s a game you’d want to invest your own time and resources into, a lot of people have paid pretty heavily into this game to get specific jiggly bits on their teams. To take that away from them, as if that wasn’t a core selling point to the game, is kind of a dick move.

    Imagine showing this article title to someone from the great depression or even more recently a fire fighter who lived through 9-11…this time is wild

    I especially like how the only example photo (from a fucking tweet of course) shows the completely flat non-ass of some anime goth girl that looks like she’s 14. We need to go back to making gamers ashamed of their hobby.

      Not gamers. Closet pedos.

      It’s like how not all anime is for closet pedos. But there’s certainly a whole fucking lot that needs to be named and shamed.

        Of course. Just like how GTA players are actually closet mass murderers.

          Sorry didn’t realize that sexualizing children is fine as long as they’re virtual and could never possibly lead to increased numbers of child sexual assaults.

            Hey so two things:

            1. not all women have giant breasts and huge asses. Other body types exist. Most healthy women have smaller breasts than any you see on tv or in games or anime.

            2. The availability of violent video games and media correlates with lower violent crime.

            The availability of pornography correlates with lower rates of sexual crimes.

            Therefore it stands to reason, though it is unpleasant if not impossible to objectively test your conjecture is likely the opposite of reality.

              Oh great, somebody that doesn’t understand stats.

              You know what else having access to violent video games correlates with that might be a bit more important than the video games themselves? Material wealth and higher standard of living. What happens to correlate with material wealth and higher standard of living? Less crimes of every single type.

              Also I don’t agree with the way the body is being sexualized in the comment above mine, but there is a serious problem, still, with sexualization of characters that explicitly look like children but are “totally a 200 year old vampire bro”. This is especially true of anime and video games with anime-inspired artwork. I’m not saying that all video games or animes are like this. Nor am I saying that all gamers and anime fans are closet pedos. What I am saying is that there’s serious problems in these communities that must be addressed. The pushback in spite of my non-condemnation of the whole is kinda hilarious. I do understand how my first comment could be misinterpreted.

              Never thought I’d get into an argument where somebody thought sexualization of minors was a good thing though, so I guess that’s a new experience at least.
