Foreigners Appreciate the Female Characters in "Black Myth": Reflecting on the Aesthetics of Western Manufacturers' "Political Accuracy"
While female characters in Eastern games have gained widespread recognition among gamers in recent years for their natural, lifelike facial features and graceful body curves, some Western game developers have stuck to outdated aesthetic standards, resulting in female characters with square jaws and stiff facial expressions.
Recently, an article comparing the female characters in Eastern and Western games has sparked a heated debate. The article pointed out that the female characters in Eastern games such as "Sword Star" and "Black Myth" have exquisite facial features and bumpy bodies, which are in sharp contrast to the dull-faced and skinny female protagonists in Western games such as "Spider-Man".
In the comments section, many players expressed admiration for the aesthetic beauty of female characters in Eastern games, arguing that this aesthetic reflects the true appearance of women in reality. They criticized Western game developers for being out of touch with reality and indulging in outdated aesthetic concepts.
For example, one player commented: "The aesthetic of female characters in Eastern games is significantly closer to the appearance of real women, with no square jaws. Western developers should learn from them and they won't improve unless people stop buying crap games."
Another player quipped: "It turns out that the characters in the game can still be as good-looking as the actors." In an apparent reference to the upcoming Star Wars: Outlaws, the game's female characters have been criticized for their unnaturally square jaws and stiff facial expressions.
Players believe that Western game developers should learn from the experience of Eastern games and abandon rigid aesthetic concepts. Only in this way can the female characters in the game be closer to reality and provide players with a more realistic visual experience.
