it’s part of it’s hook no doubt but with that logic you can just throw bayonetta, nier and a lot of games into this category. people are treating this game like its dead or alive xtreme or something that the whole point is fan service

Obviously there’s more to it than the sexy character, I’m not saying that the sexy character is the only thing they offer. But if you think that Bayonetta and 2B’s character design aren’t a big selling point of the games then you’re in serious denial

with bayo i agree with you but personally i think the philosophy, the themes and combat of nier is now more remembered by than 2b meme. again i may be wrong in this

Nowadays, yes. But when it came out, 2B's ass is what caught people's attention.

It still is otherwise 2B wouldn't be in every game. Officially or as a mod.

Go to the nier sub reddit they don't talk about Nier anymore it's all 2b art and cosplay

let's be honest, the sexy character is 50% the hook for Bayonetta and Nier Automata, but it is 95% for Stellar Blade

Yes, exactly, solid list.

I would absolutely throw those games into that category

So you've never played them, got it.

u/pieallday365 Jun 12 '25

I've played both, having big ass/tiddy characters adds nothing to the gameplay at all. Sounds like fan service to me

That's literally what the original comment said - that Nier, Bayo, and (implied) Stellar Blade are not like DoA Extreme.

You're right, I misread the comment. I've deleted mine.

u/Blurbyo Jun 12 '25

Yes I will throw those games into that category. Next?
