You got so much shit for this but I really appreciate it. There's been this bizzare push in AAA gaming to uglify and turn everything woke and I'm kind of fucking sick of the agenda-posting. Glad to see at least one other person on this planet realizes that.
Been using this front end forever love it, check here for hopes of a update now and then. If ever possible I too wish for a version that did not automatically omit games based on filename. Its an adventure having to rename everything a bit wrong to show up. Please revisit this one day. Please
If the dude doesn't want to update his game anymore, that's final. He's made it clear before that he just doesn't find developing Blockland engaging anymore on the BLF. Move on my good man.
I mean, your searches aren't even same/similar anymore. Take 2 people with the same search query, I'm pretty sure they'll get quite some different results.
Thank you so much for comparing, archiving and displaying the "progress" these so-called companies are creating via remakes. I'm pretty sure there are mandatory checkboxes these developers (hijacked by outside interfering companies) have to meet, which unfortunately don't ever turn out to be a good product in the end. I have this saved for further reading. o7
Please NEVER STOP updating this post. It has become sort of a running encyclopedia now of the degradation of Western Culture in general and vis a vis gaming particularly. Sticky this shit and keep it alive.
Not to mention the salt mining from Redditors, manlets, strong empowered wahmen (Read fatties), and every other mutant is nearly as entertaining as the article itself. Well played sir...

10 years later, we still don't know what they talked about.
Mr. Badspot, are you aware of how they changed the faces on the box for Princess Peach Showtime to make her look more like an (ugly) girlboss?

This game traumatised hundreds of children how does that make you feel Eric? You stole the innocence and chance of a happy life for hundreds of children soley because you couldn't get off your ass and moderate your lego forum?
I have added entries for Hades 2, South of Midnight, Star Wars Outlaws, Silent Hill 2 Remake, Metal Gear Solid Delta, and Perfect Dark. This makes the article inconveniently long, but the world is not a convenient place.
Fully agree with everything you said here Badspot. Right on target.

I'm so sick of seeing every game I once loved succumb to wokeness as well as anticipating new titles only to find out they're also woke. I'm just so sick of Woke culture infecting video games and I'm glad Blockland as a whole stands against woke. I just wish maps still existed like in the old days before SJWs infected gaming culture and this game had hundreds of people on at any given time.
I'd appreciate it if you brought maps backs so I can get as much enjoyment out of this game as I did over a decade ago. There's hardly any games I can play with my friends that won't ban us for saying whatever we like.

Badspot doesn't care about furries anymore all he cares about is gooning all he feels is the urge to goon he will destroy anything in his way that stands in his way of being a gooner even if that includes his preconceived disgust towards furries his ascendance towards gigagoonery shall not be defeated
I made two posts in the BLF furry thread about this: https://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=234126.msg8847841
Note that the post is 8 years old, and the image it quotes is 16 years old. But my main complaint about furries is still aesthetics. If every fursona just had an normal-ish looking face instead of a big slobbering jowly Don Bluth dog mouth, I don't think there would be nearly as much conflict.
But for a lot of furries the disgust reaction seems to be the goal - they get off on it, like a flasher. I have a theory that this may be autism related in some cases, where the offender misinterprets the signals they are getting from others, so when they see someone be disgusted they feel arousal.
It may also tie into the intestinal-parasites-make-you-gay theory, where disgusting activities are connected to sexual desire in order to spread parasitic worms.
There's something truly surreal to see a guy who vehemently dislikes furries, to give a game that features one a five-star rating and it's a bit more hysterical (in my opinion,) when you consider he also gave it the "sexual appeal" tag and it's the only one in the five-stary category to have such a tag compared to the other games that have it.
What's going on Badspot? Are you secretly becoming a furry? Are you falling for their spell? Come on Badspot! I thought you were better than that!
Nah I'm just fucking you with Badspot, I agree that the game itself is fun but honestly, I really do wish the game's story was touched on a bit more. I know the recent update left at least some crumbs at the beginning of the game to give the player an idea of the overall story but it's something I still wish it was polished on. Thanks for the review for it though!
there's a bunch of these games that suck and are made by cringe neolibs, but there's just as many of these that you included that make you seem insane and completely reaching

You seem to really like video games, you should try making one of your own!
RIP the best game i ever played that made Legos with friends so much fun i will never forget you yeah devs don't care about about it but good it died on a good note and a simple times
First and foremost thanks for compiling this, it's extremely well made.
I just disagree slightly on Frey from Forspoken. The model is quite attractive (although she obviously lacks the makeup of the actress), or at least I totally like how she looks/would date 100%.
The screenshot you presented here does indeed make her look ugly, but I think you will agree with me it's an unfortunate case of bad timing etc, compared to the abominations you posted here, maybe because she was made in Japan, she is on another level.
Thanks for the article! Your article was posted in our thread for documenting this phenomenon on RPGHQ. Not sure if I can link it here, but it's titled, "Thread for female video game characters that look like Charles II of Spain."
Remember, the destruction of beauty and celebration of ugliness stems from a hate for God, the Source of every good thing. Those claiming this is normal have ugly souls.
thanks badspot. too late now, but I'll keep that in mind. whenever I play this, I'll try and just go as fast as possible. getting pretty good, haven't reached the end yet.

very memorable games... this was a good post : - )
Hey Badspot, i know you get asked this a lot but is there ever a chance we might see a blockland workshop or something? this game used to be my child good and just seeing it shoved away like this kinda makes me sad.
>None of these things effect the shape of the model.
But in real life they would affect the appearance - and thus, sexual appeal - of the character
>I took the screenshot directly from the video game myself.
Ok I understand the difference between us now. You're still rocking that good ol' GeForce GT970 and had to play in low 480p while I ran the game on ultra 1440p. My Lara was pretty :P
>"Amazon" implies an tall, athletic, attractive woman, not a brute, not an anti-hero.
D2R Amazon does not become an "anti-hero". Guess we just gotta agree to disagree on that one, it's subjective to some extent. I like her better that way, it fits the dark theme imho.
>Because Harmony is presented sexually (...) on a stage, in fantastical clothing, presented as a sacred object, with the goal of confronting and challenging normal heterosexual desires.
That's an interesting insight. Nothing in your original point suggested that - consider expanding that paragraph maybe, cause right now it only says "game has fat woman" and that's not an argument in itself. I haven't played this game, so if you have and could elaborate, I think it'd add value to your analysis.
None of these things effect the shape of the model.
>You also chose the 240p video for the source
I took the screenshot directly from the video game myself. You can view it on my steam profile here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1995350758 You can even see fraps running in the corner.
>cherrypicking
Here is a plain screenshot of gameplay: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3212435737 She has been purposefully de-sexualized from her prior appearances, even from prior games within this reboot arc.
>Her ugliness is not political. Her image is supposed to convey a mean, naturalistic, brutal emotions, not cause sexual arousal
Even assuming this is true (it isn't), this would be a change from her depiction in previous games and indeed, any depiction of an "amazon" and even common usage of the word. "Amazon" implies an tall, athletic, attractive woman, not a brute, not an anti-hero. Wonder Woman is an amazon.
Sure you can subvert that, but you'll be making a statement - especially if you're subverting an already existing character.
>How would this be of any relevance?
Because Harmony is presented sexually, in a performative defilement of aesthetics. The characters in GTA:SA wear greasy tank tops, they get hair cuts, they go to the gym - they are intentionally banal and profane. Harmony is on a stage, in fantastical clothing, presented as a sacred object, with the goal of confronting and challenging normal heterosexual desires. And I'd bet that if you asked the designer (tactfully) they would agree with me.
...taken at the moment Lara gets up, grunting, after having been brutally disarmed. You also chose the 240p video for the source, instead of a FullHD version. This is a prime example of cherrypicking, as Lara is *not* that ugly in the whole game. Maybe you didn't play it but I did lol.
>The technical issue is that women don't have muscles like that, so when you add them artificially in a post process, it looks weird.
Yeah but the end result of a woman looking ugly is *not*, as you claim, by design to make her look ugly, but by design to make her muscular - which itself is a fairly reasonable artistic decision - and then failing at this plan. Those are not the same things.
>So you're saying she's... ugly on purpose?
Yeah, right. Just to clarify my thought here: I don't think D2R's Amazon is ugly because of woke propaganda. Her ugliness is not political. Her image is supposed to convey a mean, naturalistic, brutal emotions, not cause sexual arousal. This is a different thing than "feminists and soyboys lobby for making female characters uglier". Somehow the Sorceress in the same game is a plain hottie.
>Why do you hate women?
C'mon bro, don't antagonize me for no reason. I agree with you on half the things you said in your post. What I'm saying is that this fanart thing has no soul, it's not unique at all. I've seen that kinda face in 41987 posts on r34 and /aco/. Blizzard's ugly Amazon is unique at least.
>Did Big Smoke make bedroom eyes and twerk into the camera while morbidly obese black men seal-clapped and shouted "yass king represent" on social media?
How would this be of any relevance? Your post concerns female ugliness, not black culture. Your entire critique of Destruction Allstars comprised this lone sentence: "This vehicular combat game features an obese black woman named Harmony." So I attacked this point by showing you an example of a game that also featured vehicles, combat, and an obese black *man* named Big Smoke. Please decide which of the following is/are the problem: (1) depictions of black people doing black people shit, or (2) depictions of fat people, or (3) depictions of fat women?

>Lara from the new games is still hot, but you deliberately picked some mishap of a screenshot to demonstrate otherwise
I don't know what to tell you man. It's an unmodified screenshot from the game. You can watch the cutscene here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdlocA-WFuM&t=2849s The male character is fucked up looking too. I think they de-sexualized everyone by shrinking the shoulders and inflating the waists. Given the high graphical competency of the rest of the game, I figure it must have been done on purpose.
>the muscle argument maybe only proves some technical/design issues
The technical issue is that women don't have muscles like that, so when you add them artificially in a post process, it looks weird.
>She's supposed to be ugly
So you're saying she's... ugly on purpose? [opening theme song plays]
>the characterless anime-like doll from your "excellent fanart" makes me cringe a little bit
Why do you hate women?
>Bet you didn't cry about Big Smoke from GTA:SA being a lardass, did you?
I didn't play San Andreas. Did Big Smoke make bedroom eyes and twerk into the camera while morbidly obese black men seal-clapped and shouted "yass king represent" on social media?
Great compilation. They not only made Peevee ugly but also obnoxious and annoying. Both her and Aloy are products of some grade A science of ugliness, just like it's easy to create neat clean surfaces but takes incredible effort to make them look dirty, rusty, messed up (think cities in Mirror's Edge vs Deus Ex MD). Forspoken, Redfall, Fable, Injustice, and of course the TLoU fiasco - all great examples.
However, you were obviously trying very hard to make some examples fit your theory. Cyberpunk 2077 has hot chicks both in game (Judy, Panam) and in the posters - female V, the one looking to the bottom-right, is simply attractive (ok you may disagree, but it's still a big stretch to call her UGLY). Lara from the new games is still hot, but you deliberately picked some mishap of a screenshot to demonstrate otherwise; for each screenshot like that, I'll find one where she looks hot. Oh and the muscle argument maybe only proves some technical/design issues, not deliberate ugliness. Lawbreakers - idk man, call *me* racist but from what I see this girl is actually quite an idealized image of a black woman. D2R - notice that the new amazon shares facial features with the original one, just in greater detail and minus the ridiculous boobplate. She's supposed to be ugly, her special hero trait is in her combat abilities, she ain't got the time to put on make up and be a hottie. In fact, the characterless anime-like doll from your "excellent fanart" makes me cringe a little bit. Finally, Destruction Allstars is a comic-like game, don't take it that seriously man. Bet you didn't cry about Big Smoke from GTA:SA being a lardass, did you?
I am not much of a video games player so I cannot double check your takes on all those games but I actually did play Cyberpunk a lot. Not only your initial complain is wrong (those are different characters, as others already told you) but also, the main character you complain about is not really "the face of the game". If you actually played Cyberpunk or at the very least did a little reasearch, you would know that you barely see your own (ugly?) face in the game, so it does not matter if you are pretty or not. On top of that, the developers actually put some effort in character customization tool, so you can completely re-do your character to look totally different, if it is important to you, and players actually use that tool a lot. What is most important, though, is that the big part of the game are your relations with two female characters of Judy and Panam. I might not be fan of Judy's tattoos or be Panam's "dat ass" connoisseur but I need to admit that they are both very attractive ladies plus their personalities are extremely likeable. This is what you remember from the game after playing it, when it comes to women, not some ephemeral trans or otherwise, let's call it "far from traditional beauty standards" NPCs from short quests. As mentioned at the beginning, I don't play video games much (Cyberpunk is an exception) so I cannot verify all your claims and complains, and so I only hope that other games examples you used are not totally butchered like the Cyberpunk one.
CP2077 example is a bit exagerrated in my opinion, main face advertising the franchise is still the same, beatiful woman or a handsome man named V. You can go full nuts and play naked with big breasts or dick flapping around. Its literally the opposite to your whole statement.
True If Blockland received updates with improved performance and modern quality of life improvements supporting up to billions of bricks while still keeping 60 fps while keeping all its addons modding compatibility it would be the most legendary pc game of all time.
Blockland Remastered please make it happen
