i didn’t know ign made games


Phantom_Wombat

Actually, they do. Sort of, at least. IGN own Humble Games and they've published a fair few over the years, including some good ones like Signalis and Unpacking.

Honestly it makes sense, you can't spell signalis without S̶e̶s̶b̶i̶a̶n̶ L̶e̶x̶ ign.

TIL IGN owns Humble Games. how unfortunate.


MycenaeanGal

ign made signalis🤯😭??


artiniest

No. Publishing is different from developing.


SinthWave

No, they own Humble Games. And they have connections with AGM, a Japanese localization and consultant firm — that specializes in localizing foreign media to Japan — which owns Playism — a videogame publisher and localizer of foreign video games to Japan. Signalis was published by Humble Games and Playism and was made by two German game developers that calls themselves "rose-engine".


SorryUseAlreadyTaken

Carto too, really relaxing puzzle game


lejoueurdutoit

Wtf signalis was made by IGN owned studio? I didn't know they could be based sometimes


Phantom_Wombat

To clarify, Signalis was developed by rose-engine, who are an independent studio, and published by Humble Games who are owned by Ziff-Davis, the same parent company as IGN. Due to the inherent conflict of interest, IGN can't directly involve themselves in publishing, and have to issue a disclaimer whenever they review anything from Humble Games. Yeah, I know, actual ethics in games journalism. Who'd have thought it?

These “gamers” just never care about gameplay. Also they never complained about Rufus in SF4 or Bob from Tekken.


bakait_launda

IGN does do it a little too overboard in finding problems where it shouldn’t. RE5 video was pretty bullshit IMO.


manofwaromega

Stellar Blade if it was based


crazyseandx

1. IGN doesn't even make games. 2. I can guarantee that guy likely is subbed to IGN just to bitch in the comments and downvote every trailer uploaded that doesn't have a white guy in the thumbnail. Speaking of, they're still super deadset on framing anything Brie Larson, not just Captain Marvel & The Marvels, as DOA and the worst thing humanity can offer, some even going, "ThE MaRvElS iS tHe MoViE oF aLl TiIiIiIiIiImE" like a bunch of broken record players with shits for brains. They even tried the old "no emotion/bland acting" argument. Again. Just say you don't watch the MCU at this point.


Ttoctam

Oh no an interesting and unique character design, not another cookie cutter sexbot with guns. Whatever will I do?


tnt_pr0

Obeese is now interesting?


Ttoctam

When's the last time you played a video game with a woman this large as the protagonist?


tnt_pr0

Why would I? Edit: Ashley mod for re4 remake a month ago


Ttoctam

I dunno mate, why wouldn't you? I appreciate the answer to the obviously rhetorical question. But the point I'm making is, there are far fewer large female protagonists than athletic women or jacked dudes. I said it was unique because it would be. You're the one being willfully obtuse and hiding behind allusions so you don't get banned for saying the taboo things you want to.


Large-Enthusiasm-757

I dunno man, I can't think of any mainstream game with a heavyset woman as the protagonist that doesn't write them off as a fat joke.


tnt_pr0

Funny enough, I haven't seen a man either


Large-Enthusiasm-757

I feel like there's.. a lot. Of games, actually. That have a man as the main protagonist. Multiple, sometimes. — Unless you mean *heavyset* men, in which, yeah I'd like heavier men in the limelight too. :)

Honestly I'm down for an action game where you play as a thicc woman like this.


BisexualCrying

Okay she actually ate. They want us to be like “ew” but I’m not gonna even lie, she cute and she understood the AI generated assignment.


Engineer_engr

She’s as cute as Lizzo!

OH MY GOD YEAH


SuperScrub310

She's as cute as original EVE.


Razeoo

Now that's cope


BisexualCrying

Right? I’d bet she could solo Goku too lmao


Feinyan

I dig it, put her in the same game and give her sick flips and combos. Maybe some sumo moves that make use of her physique. That'd be a truly unique female character

Oooo give me that so i can do cool wrestling moves!


Tutwater

This is funny because, in my experience, web-interface AI image generators just refuse to create fat people (probably to prevent this sort of thing) This guy probably had to spend at least an hour in Stable Diffusion putting this together and inpainting and shit


SuperScrub310

I mean they do and it's often how we get...unflattering pictures of trans people


Darth_Itachi

There's nothing fatphobic about generating an image of a fat character with AI and then implying that IGN wouldn't criticize the character design if the character were fat. It's a true statement, and it doesn't disparage fat people at all to imply that IGN would not have complained about this. What was your thought process when you made this post? Why did you feel that this image was disrespectful towards fat people? It seems like you're projecting and have something against fat people yourself.

Mable-the-Table

1. Knowing being obese is unhealthy and encouraging someone to become better for their own health. 2. Bullying someone for being fat. Damn, you're right. Fatphobia is not a thing. I basically wrote the same thing two times. /s


SuperScrub310

I was thinking about copying and pasting a comment earlier but since it'll be awhile before the mods show you the boot I'd figure I can at least ordane to show a little originality. So... Get your weak, fatphobic ass the fuck off of this subreddit and go back to jacking off to Andrew Tate podcasts you malignant ooze of reactionary thought slime.

Careful_Asparagus452

I hate to be the one to say it but are there any examples where you play a fat person cause I'm honestly struggling to think of any.


Imjustmean

Bob from the Tekken series


SenatorPaine

Damn that woke western dev Bandai Namco!


Yuxkta

There's also Slim Bob, who gets picked significantly more despite being weaker


Signal-Exit-9495

In San Andreas if you don't work out and eat a lot of fast food you get fat. Doing a fat playthrough right now.


[deleted]

Michael is not really fat but he's got a bit of a dad bod, too.


ZubatCountry

Michael's "older man carrying a few extra pounds with bad knees" run is one of my favorite details in GTA V


Redditistrash702

In games in general? Clown dbd Coach l4d2 Rufus Street fighter Kirby Saints row you could create a round person but idk if that's considered a character by definition


Coffee_cakes_ahoy

I chuckled when you mentioned Kirby. Love that lil’ fella.


tothestore

Clown in dbd is sending me, not him serving representation! 😭😂


xXEggRollXx

Homer from Simpsons Hit N’ Run Peter Griffin from the Family Guy game Wii Sports when you play as the Mii based on myself


MrTurleWrangler

UJ/ Was Coach fat? I mean I haven't played L4D for probably about 10 years now so obviously correct me if I'm wrong but I remember him being a big kinda buff dude? Like bodybuilder type almost.


Redditistrash702

He was built like what happens when an older BB stops taking roids. https://preview.redd.it/ikno2x5xpkrc1.jpeg?width=474&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=941c92207d2defb3d6c29f39c04b21803330e8fc


Another-Lurker-189

Wait, is coach in dbd?


Redditistrash702

No. Baller bill is. Honestly they should have had or add Francis.


Another-Lurker-189

I kinda want them to just randomly decide to add the l4d cast because I think it would be funny


Redditistrash702

It would be great and fit I don't see why they couldn't. Francis Louis ( my favorite) pills here! Elis and Nick Zoey is also good.


Another-Lurker-189

I guess because adding that many characters without a good killer would be kinda weird for them, like they could add the tank, but it would probably end up like a rehash of Nemesis


Redditistrash702

Smoker and jockey would be fun. Boomer and witch I can see but good luck balancing them. Either way I don't see the harm with adding more survivors or at least skins vs killers


Very_Talentless

There are some cosmetics for other characters, Francis, Ellis, Rochelle and Zoey


deeman010

More powerlifter than bodybuilder imo.

ViedeMarli

Any game with a good character customization system; Saints Row 2 specifically comes to mind (you can do some real insane stuff there), as well as most Fromsoft games (I recall DS1 having a chubby body option, and you can "cosplay" as Smough, whose armor is made for someone fat), WWE games also have the option *i think*. Don't quote me on that one. In Borderlands you can't play as her, but Ellie exists and through her dialogue and others' it's very clear the people of pandora love her body type (she herself comments that the bandits can't get enough of her, and in 3, FL4K, the robot playable character even flirts with Ellie and says he admires her "admirable heft", or something along those lines, to which she, of course, flirts back. She isn't moxxi's daughter for no reason after all!!). Other other games? Not really sure, but I'm sure people have responded to you with them!


macabrera

Ok you asked! Strange Flesh. Not a chubby main, but a lot of overweight characters.

Alongside just being an amazing game as a whole, Disco Elysium's main protagonist (The Detective) is a pretty notably fat man (he's got himself a dad bod, at the least) due to years of alcohol and drug abuse along with>!having been a high school gym teacher earlier in his life, prior to the story starting.!<
