What's the last western video game on AA/AAA front that isn't scared to show woman's skins or boobs ?

Just curious after I saw that Ubisoft went to retroactively censor the elf's design by adding black inner shirt to cover her belly and cleavage in Might and Magic : Clashes of Heroes. Also saw this https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2947774983

Lots of women's exposed skin that would have gotten this game Adult rating on steam or outright banned.

Anyway, does anyone know the last title before everything went to shit ?

Atomic Heart was released this year, and there was Cyberpunk a couple years ago.

I saw your other thread and your desire for something like Dante's Inferno, and the issue with that game is that it didn't sell well enough compared to the cost of its development, so there's little incentive to create a sequel. Video games have gotten expensive to develop, so people who made high-quality stuff back in the 1990s, like Cyan, are now reduced to being Indie-tier with their Firmament release this month.

On another topic, the art-style in your OP screenshot is Science Fantasy, and babes in lingerie armour has always been considered low budget, so while you had some older movies like Conan the Destroyer with a budget of 18 million, the genre has largely slipped to being in the same vein as Sharknado. It's also why Eastern developers still produce video games with lingerie armour, cause aside from the ones who've grown too big for their britches, their development costs are low and they expect the ten thousand nerds who like it to fork over a big chunk of their paycheck to own them.

I dunno if it's too jank, but there's a Taiwanese game company who is doing a revival of their Science Fantasy 'Heroine Anthem' game series. It's available in multiple languages. A large problem with video game developers nowadays is that platforms like Apple and Google Play have ridiculous demands on how much skin one is allowed to show, and mainland China is even worse, so it's really up to the consumer to support developers who refrain from using those platforms, but that requires consumers to leave the comforts of Google, Apple, and Tencent, and instead use Taiwanese platforms so more developers can migrate to them and expect good returns that would force Google, Apple, and their ilk to change their tunes.

Gamers shouldn't support mobile platforms period, whether it's Google/Apple or some chink knockoff.

I suppose some fighting games still show skin. Your question is a little vague.

What so you mean exactly?
Are you looking for aa/aaa games that have characters in revealing outfits? Or that they have some sort of fanservice elements?

Your are not going to find much of it in thr AAA sphere besides some notable exceptions like the aforementioned fighting games and japanese made games (usually) as for AA and indie you could probably find something

One problem is that many AAA companies are not privatly owned and thus have investors. And investors do not like risks. Now one might say sex sells, however a large amount of the populus see games as something that is for children even if it has a 18+ rating. This in turn leads to such cases as e.g. the "Hot Coffee" thing with SA.

Some mention that making games at a AAA scale is costly (which is true), but you have to consider that a huge chunk of that is marketing and bonuses for CEOs. Stop supporting large corpos who can easily cut costs if the need arises and rather support indies / small studios that make the kind of games people want and actually need the money to live.

I meant the last AA or AAA video game from the west that isn't scared of showing a bit of female skin like my examples in the OP. I want to know the last western product, the point of no return, before they all become spineless cowards that bow to political correctness and feminazi. Honestly I forgot about Cyberpunk, but one could argue that it's not really the west's product iirc the devs were from Eastern Europe ?

As for Atomic Heart it's kinda ironic that the most we'll ever get now is metallic, robotic, clanky boobs. Unless there're real ones somewhere in that game ? I've never played it.

The last big western AAAs that i can think of that actually revel in fan service/titillations are the old GOW games or GTA 5, so ca. 10 years ago? I'll admit i don't play too many western games though.

I just finished Arkham Knight and that game has quite a lot of things that would have been branded "male gazing" in today's madhouse. Harley's jiggling boobs and Ivy's plant bikinis are the two most obvious examples. Then I started Deus Ex : Mankind Divided and you can see posters of swimsuit models in that Russian mafia's office and women in here actually don't act like they're some Kratos wannabe with butch cut and everything. It has homosexuals but none of them feel the needs to parade around this fact and they're all so chill about it(you'll find out about them if you looked into their personal life,but they won't abruptly change subject to talk about this like it's one of the most important facts in the game) as opposed to woke games like The Division (I counted three to five women in the first five hours in game that came to tell me they have "significant others who is a she")

The sad thing is both came out not even 10 years ago, with graphics that still don't feel dated visually, and with designs that obviously was made with love from developers even though they have some questionable executive meddling in them, but none too excessive like today's AAA.

Just got done with Shadow of War. The game don't even try to hide its pandering to feminism. Two bitchy NPC that constantly try to belittle their male counterpart and act all stronk and independent with noses hanging in dialogues so high it could have ended in stratosphere. Also retcon to the maingame end sequences and ending just so they can show how important the elf bitch is in the DLC. This wasn't so back in the Shadow of Mordor (first game) and even Arkham Knight (also owned by WB). Proof that something definitely started going wrong with western gaming in 2015-2017. If anyone is not convinced, try looking into western AAA released in those time frame, The Division also has feminist stronk, men-dismissing attituded women archetype (2016) and so is Star wars Battlefront 2 (2017)

What the fuck actually happened in those years that turned the world upside down?

The spidey got left out of the ending and we're treated to the obnoxious she-elf instead. (She's not even that revealing in the first place but feminists still bitched about it any time it got brought up)They even have a whole dlc dedicated to playing as she-elf , and as expected she displayed the usual trait of belittling every other male NPCs there every chance she got. They even had change the ending to make it look like she fought and won against Talion-wraith. It's like watching a sock puppet show. Someone in developers' team must have a crush on this boring wench.
