In every other Diablo game, the Succubi are free to go topless as they please, but their rights to bodily expression have been revoked in D4. Is this even a Diablo game?
Sad to see body shaming in my favorite series of games.
Restore succubi dignity!
YeahâŚ
Honestly, before this devolves into ye olde âwokenessâ discourse, itâs frustrating to see companies boiling every tiny bit of sex appeal and titillation out of their games because of a vocal minority of sex negative feminists (a minority even within feminism) who will pretend that the sky is falling on Twitter because thereâs a tiny amount of breast or thigh visible in an optional outfit.
If it was a dude in a dress showing a breast or thigh in said optional outfit, itâd be 100% on metacritic, even tho no one can play the game.
Even demons need to cover up nowadays its a sad state of affairs.
âGaming journalistsâ from IGN, Kotaku, or Polygon would give the game 100% for certain since we know for sure none of their employers actually play games.
Sickening gore = A-OK!
Showing some skin = Omg the horror!!
both lilith and the sorcerer outfits are revealing af if you want to oogle something there you go.
Look at the bright side, at least she doesnât have a manface like the Amazon in D2R. That face still gives me nightmares.
succubi seem to change so much each game. You had birds in D2 remember?
I like the cute naked ones in D1
Lol no they arenât barb female is probably the most revealing of the bunch.
VIOLENCE GOOD
SEX BAD
Welcome to america.
We used to be able to have both at least in videogames. Sometimes I really wonder how we ended up in this horribly bland âno fun allowedâ timeline.
Donât. Fâing. Tempt. Them.
Honestly, the dark vibe took a lot of attention away from the exposed bodies⌠Back in D1 when you died, you could literally popcorn your items everywhere. For me, growing past the âhehehehe tiddiesâ phase, and learning to appreciate subtlety was an iconic moment for me.
Thereâs like thousands of demons without a shirt, but none of them are female. This is gender bias!
Actually, itâs so they can sell the game in China.
IMO the dark vibe was enhanced by the exposed bodies. It enhanced the visceral feel. Also, agreed with the point about gender bias, show it all I say! Iâve played since D1 (used to be a PKBH/PKPK), and simply miss some of the more mature audience elements since that time, including some truly frustrating and unforgiving game mechanics.
Women got rights in America =
Women have voices =
Cancel Cutlure scaring companies into potential-financial risk submission =
this shih right here.
Plus there are other markets they want to reach that wonât accept that stuff. Like the Middle East or China.
Not sure how this is relevant at allâŚ
Iâm pretty sure itâs because of the conservative Chinese market that doesnât like any sort of nudity, blood, or bones.
And yet the game is drenched in gore.
because that was the feedback from D3; they had toned gore down so much that it didnât feel dark enough. If they kept appealing to China in that area, theyâd lose everyone else.
In terms of nudity, they can keep appealing to Chinese standards without any compromise to Western markets. If people started saying âIâm not playing another Diablo game until I can see some side-boob / bulgeâ then they might reconsider their strategy; but I personally donât see that happening.
