Nightdive might be trying to work on it, since they published the new version of SiN Gold. In the meantime, Funhaus did a great series (a small portion of the game but very entertaining); first vid in the series.

That part was referring to the game suggestions and the expected reactions from said "culture war people" (... urgh) I think will happen should Gog release them. I know you long enough to know that you are too level headed for such white knighting nerdrage nonsense :)

100% disagreement on bikini mods though :P
Don't know about W10 but I recently installed it on my W7 machine and it works well. Need some resolution mods and really upping the settings though; its sadly from an beaten-with-an-ugly-stick 3d era of games.

I took some form there: https://www.wsgf.org/dr/heavy-metal-fakk2

Eh. I think there can be no denying that the outfits in Blades of Times are ridiculous and exploitatitve (as are the ones in e.g. the popular Bayonetta). And they're somewhat cheap by catering to the lowest common denominator of what is considered "sexy" in mainstream culture. But so what. It's a very janky, B-movie style action game; if you're expecting something character driven, well-written, to be taken seriously - this is definitely not it, and I guess the screenshots do a good job of conveying that. ;) It's definitely not for everyone, but sometimes trashy games can be fun, too. I always meant to get back to this one day.

Anyway, apart from some people looking to be offended by everything, I think the general issue is more with a lack of diversity in videogames than with individual games being "too sexy". You can safely ignore what isn't to your taste (or even be critical of it without making demands to change it) as long as it isn't the norm and there are lots of good alternatives to it. Whether we're there yet or not is a matter of debate. Ironically, I think games like this become all the more acceptable the farther we move away from them being the generally accepted norm.

IMO, what you quote is hyperbole at its finest, but then again, who's to say what's sexy and feminine anyway? Those are pretty subjective terms that change with the times and vary from individual to individual. If you'd ask *me* about female video game characters I don't consider attractively portrayed, I certainly wouldn't have picked Kate Walker at all (and that's including her outfits). ;)

I don't necessarily see irony or discrepancy in that, both seem perfectly in line with the desire to define your own image vs. overbearing images of what men think you should be/look/dress like. They can also co-exist. The issue is not really about dressing conservatively vs. dressing sexy but about having the freedom to choose without anyone else imposing their norms onto you (and about women or female characters not being reduced to the body and the way they dress, like a doll). Of course that doesn't prevent some critics from losing focus and going way overboard, or simply not getting it in the first place.
