Has anyone found an explanation for one of the ugliest characters ever designed for a video game? Here's my theory:
I think what happened was Neil didn't want another male playable character but they had already gone too far into development to make a completely new female model so he said "make the abs have titty physics, give him long hair, and get a voice actress to read all his lines over a weekend"
How else could you explain the monstrosity that is Abby? Why the fuck is 'she' so buff?
no conspiracy theories necessary. they respect women too much to make fan service eye candy. character designs that appeal to the male gaze are a sexist relic of the past. They belong in Japanese games. For now. That will change too though eventually as they modernize and become more progressive
It's just mentally diseased kike with fucked up fetishes, why are you seeking logic and reason in things he shits out?
Why do you even care mate? Whats the fucking point?
Even working out three hours every day wouldn’t be enough; she would have to be on some primo fucking gear. Whoever allowed this to go through has some sort of mental illness.
Abby is cute. Why is OP so gay?
It's not even about fan service, Abby literally has a male body lmao.
Also, Dial 8
I mean from a realistic standpoint, her pathetic diet of 2-3 burritos a day isn't enough to sustain that level of muscle mass. Those are on-sight produced burritos too, as in the beef is farmed from local cows, so it's not going to be filled with the toxic preservative shit you find at Taco Bell. You're looking at a calorie intake of maybe 600 per burrito, for a total of 1800. That isn't even close to the calorie intake required to achieve anything that isn't otter mode.
>I mean from a realistic standpoint, her pathetic diet of 2-3 burritos a day isn't enough to sustain that level of muscle mass
So, this isn't okay, but gameplay being a series of hallways and being unable to climb over a 2-foot barrier and walk off the beaten path is fine and doesn't break immersion?
women cannot have this sort of body without huge steroids intake
ugly or not, I'd commit infanticide to get arms like those, seriously I've been gyming for months and I've only lost weight, when does the fucking MUSCLE kick in
Idk, morbid curiosity
Story elements != Gameplay limitations
You're the kind of person who demands the player be able to make their character shit because the food has to go somewhere.
>Story elements != Gameplay limitations
Why? gameplay elements break immersion constantly, you're just being hypocritical.
baste
You aren't eating enough if you're losing weight from exercise, eat more and particularly more meat.
But that isn't hypocritical, because anybody with a fucking brain understands gameplay cannot realistically replicate what happens in cutscenes thanks to the existence of player agency.
The fact that you're losing weight is proof that what you're doing is good. You just have to push yourself even further with the weights. Take care not to go over the top with them unless you want to get a hernia or something. But the thing is you have to keep pushing your body by raising the weights little by little and pushing yourself to do more sets and more reps.
lift heavy, go on caloric surplus, .8-1lb of protein per pound. +500 kcal if you dont care about aesthetics and only strength, +200-300 if you want slower gains but dont want to look like a fat fuck
>because anybody with a fucking brain
Ah, nice logical fallacy
This is not true. Abby was based on a roided up (cis) woman, but in later builds of the game she was changed to be more manly to fulfil Druckmann's tranny fetish.
Nice fallacy fallacy. Now post an actual argument that doesn't delve into nonsensical equivalency on how gameplay must perfectly replicate everything in a cutscene otherwise you can have farting rainbow pixies in a realistic world.
>I think what happened was Neil didn't want another male playable character
Honestly I would be glad to see a male character instead of Abby, so they could be cute gay couple with Owen.
Owen is hella fuckin hot, he doesn't deserve to be hetero and fuck two ugly gorillas.
>player agency.
what does this have to do with TLOU? Its a movie, you have no agency.
my sides
I don't even fucking know. And don't say it's the muscles my new manager is a fitfag and looks built but has a cute face.
>Now post an actual argument that doesn't delve into nonsensical equivalency on how gameplay must perfectly replicate everything
lol that's literally your argument, the story HAS to be 100% realistic or TRANNIES REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
hypocrite
>Story is linear and has immediate urgency
>Don't limit player to linear path
>They fuck off and do whatever
>Urgency of plot falls apart
Have a look at Fallout 3 and 4 and exactly why this is bad.
>she doesn't look like how I think a woman should, therefore she's a man!
Cope, straggot. Your time is over ;)
This is like the 5th Abby thread today
>>Urgency of plot falls apart
And? Its a game, not a movie. If all that matters is the plot why is it even interactive in the first place? Just make a literal movie.
Just look a this cutie pie.
>lol that's literally your argument, the story HAS to be 100% realistic
No, The Last of Us is trying to be incredibly realistic. Not every video game, THIS video game. To the extent they explain in mass detail how these settlements sustain themselves, how they get supplies, what their trade relations are, the graphics facilitating this with hyper-realistic face scans etc.
You gonna post an actual argument?
best boi
>And? Its a game, not a movie.
This is a literal Twitter blue checkmark argument being used to destroy classic games by rewriting old lore, redesigning classic characters into entirely new designs to be "more inclusive."
>No, The Last of Us is trying to be incredibly realistic
And this only matters for the story framing the gameplay and not the actual gameplay why?
>This is a literal Twitter blue checkmark argument
lol, I accept your concession and admittance that you have no argument
>And this only matters for the story framing the gameplay and not the actual gameplay why?
Because gameplay. cannot. perfectly. replicate. story.
This isn't difficult.
Why does gameplay matter when Abby's appearance is entirely based on the story backing it up? Are you retarded?
>No, The Last of Us is trying to be incredibly realistic
>I can get shot 5 times, hide behind cover for 15 seconds and be fine like nothing happened
>Oh, but the game has a muscular/body-builder woman I don't want to masturbate to
>BRO THERE'S NO WAY SHE COULD INTAKE THAT MANY CALORIES FUCKING TRANNIES REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
This is a shitposter. Stop responding to them.
>Because gameplay. cannot. perfectly. replicate. story.
Why
Honestly... I unironically agree.
Not enough guyxguy rep out there, it's all about the potatoes and the lesbians. Though that would mean the hypothetical male character would be the one spazzing out, assuming he follows the same script as Abby.
lol this whole thread is a shitpost, pic very related
>Why does gameplay matter
because its supposed to be a game
Because the technology isn't there, and what you can replicate to be hyper realistic like eating, sleeping, dying in one hit like this retard tries to push isn't fun to play. Player enjoyment comes before "gameplay" realism.
This however doesn't suddenly make it okay for your narrative to contradict itself in the designs of its characters, especially when the creators state the story and world are trying to be as realistic as possible.
Whatever, I'm done. This isn't worth continuing.
Actually I played on realistic mode jackass, you get 1 shot and stuff
Actually I haven't, anyone play that mode?
>Why does gameplay matter >>>when Abby's appearance is entirely based on the story backing it up? Are you retarded?
I don't really care, however it's fucking hilarious how they deliberately make their characters ugly as fuck to "pwn the alt-right".
One of the ugliest games I've ever seen.
how does the story not back it up
>BRO SHE COULDN'T INTAKE THAT MANY CALORIES FUCKING TRANNIES
lol this is your only "argument"
Please tell me that screenshot isn't real. I've no doubt that comment above it is.
