I was surprised when she brought up Mortal Kombat as an example of over sexualized characters, and not, say, the entire Dead or Alive series. Especially Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball. She does make some good points in her video, and I don't want to dismiss her point of view, but I feel she took the easy way out in addressing this point.
Games, and movies and tv, have treated women as sexual objects for a long time, and now the pendulum has swung the opposite way in reaction to that. It's going to take a while for games, and movies and tv, to allow for better perspectives on women. I think the indy scene is where we will find this happening before we ever see it in the major studios, since the latter has to worry about limiting risk and making investors happy. But hopefully the recent flops will be a shot across the bow and wake them up.
Except for that, this was a good video. She lays out her arguments well. I don't agree with every point, but I understand where she's coming from and can respect her point of view.
It's. A. Beta.
Not a finished game. Still being developed.
This is like walking into a kitchen, taking a bowl of food that isn't ready, and complaining that it's under cooked.
There's going to be missing textures or placeholders. There's going to be performance issues. They will work that stuff out during the beta phase.
If it's not up to your expectations, then just wait until it's fully released.
Honestly, this is the chance you take when you pre-order. It's funny how many people are finding this out.
I guess the only argument here is that the developers should have waited a bit longer to release the open beta.
