(Game here is Parasite Eve 2)

It didn't happen in every game but often enough that it's noticeable. They're usually not shot as straight-up titillation, instead going for a tasteful nudity kind of thing and intended to fulfill some kind of storytelling or characterisation purpose

I enjoy trash so I have a soft spot for Heavy Rain. When it came out, the idea was new enough and it was polished enough that it worked, even though it fails as a narrative, which is the entire point. I'd say you can still play it for a laugh if you fail all the QTEs.

Now though, we have indie games doing the things his games were supposed to do, except they're actually good.

Me and my friends got a lot of enjoyment playing through his games and laughing at them throughout, but I have seen people who unironically say they find his games well-written and deeply moving

I can only imagine they played them when they were like, 11

11 is such a great age to be for loving bad media because you know what you like but don't have a bullshit detector yet. I thought Resident Evil: Apocalypse was the best movie I'd ever seen
