Exodus should appreciate this since hes a gamer.
I loved Dead Rising on the Xbox. It was more parody than anything else. Well they are up to part 4 now and its a return to the main protagonist Frank West.

My question is didn't Frank West go bald? Why when hes a hero again he has hair?

Id rather see fat, bald hero west honestly!

This is what he SHOULD look like now from previous games

Thanks society's expectations.

They pulled this same sh*t with Dead space.
Issak the main guy was revealed to be a regular joe shmoe even with a slightly receding hairline and lacking jaw.

The only hero we really have is Hitman.

All we have to do is get ourselves a couple of 1911's and a nice suit and we will be good to go.

goddamn it went the way of the transporter, i havent actually played the game but thats cool he is like nw4. but yea seems to be also the feminization of society and it being illegal to be an ugly or average male. hopefully trump and the ensuing social following changes that some :)

both sh*t candidates so i didnt even drag my *** out of bed to vote, i would be equally dissatisfied. but at least feminazi tears will be shed tonight, and there wont be laws against incel or ugly to average men;)

theres quite a few games actually especially in recent times that have balding men, or at least receding hairlines. Something happened culturally during the late 90s mid 00s that a slightly recessed hairline was seen as masculine? its a hard thing to keep track of but thats certainly what i perceived. Youve also got to consider cultural impact, in america receding hair lines probably have a negative connotation. In russia/FSU on the other hand, it doesnt seem to be perceived as such a big deal. Strange country, Putin both balding heavily and a short man, is considered sexy by many russian women. True power does wonders for your sex appeal i suppose.

Strelok the main character from STALKER, has a high recession at the temples, befitting what looks to be a middle aged man.

Trevor the most popular character from the latest GTA game has seriously bad balding.

Max payne in the last of his titular series shaves his head down to the skin at one point in the game.

Agent 47 from the hitman games as has been pointed out, seems to have a complete lack of scalp follicles.

I'm sure theres more but those are the ones from the top of my head. So balding/bald will be portrayed by lead characters/heroes, however, one thing a designer will never ever ever do, is give a lead/strong character..... a weak jaw/chin.

He was supposed to be bald the entire game, but fans cried so much about him being ugly and bald that they only made him shaved for like one third of the game.

I believe hes supposed to be fat and out of shape too, but they still couldn't resist giving him defined arms and a tight torso :)

Imagine if they had actually realistically modelled him after a 50 year old chronic alcoholic :D

Video games are modern mythology.

Nobody wants to be the balding guy, the fat guy, the skinny guy, or be the ugly chick with a gunt.

Just like how back in the day you had Hercules and Aphrodite — this sh*t ain't new.

I work in the video game industry.

Some of the most popular writers, character designers and artists even down to the indie level whose work gets slammed as being "sexist" and "male power fantasies" are women.

Consumers and critics keep insisting it's all for men, but I've never once heard anyone in the business personally say "Yeah, we redesigned her to appeal to males better" or anything to that effect. Statistics keep showing that half and some years a majority of consumers are women. Years ago, I worked in video game retail and was the only male at the store. However, I've seen plenty of sexist consumers. Guys who wouldn't play games because it has a female protagonist or moms and grandmas who'd walk in and say "where are the games for girls". I don't know, all the girls here are really into Mortal Kombat, so over there I guess...

Video games are escapism. I don't want to be a balding guy who has to take Propecia in real life, why the f*** would I want to be one in a virtual world where I can be anything?

take away indie and mobile gamers and its mostly male demographic. some casual BS doesn't count. lol that guy they were prolly in the ds section looking at more shallow sh*t :p. girls will never understand the deep yearning for another world like men, especially ugly men, will. which is also why your other point is whack. all the notable game creators are men, some random very minor character designer every 10th employee doesnt matter. if the women are fat or unattractive and dont hate incels it shud be okay to let them make it though

last game i really loved was saints row 4 and ofc 90+ % of the makers were male. its pure escapism like you said. women don't need that lmfao.

btw what do you work as in the game industry?

lol for gods sakes cant guys have this one safe space? just one? lol. everything else is taken over by women, just let us have something

just ew at trying to feel f*****g decent self esteem for one freaking second and having to suffer through the looks judgment of women. jesus christ lol

anyways on second thought that gamestop experience could be explained quite simply - the real gamers , who are ACTUALLY GETTING DEEP INTO THE GAMES (DEFINITION OF GAMER) are in their basements, playing the games. not teasing incels by attention whoring about being into games (COUGH POKEMON GO COUGH)

lol i have such a simple request and reason for this anger, i just want one f*****g place i can be myself without worrying about being seen as ugly and unattractive

anyways i'm mostly sure i'm right as basically all the gamers i know are guys. and it will likely stay that way with girls having it easier and easier, they wont need to escape with games, or have that super deep inherent urge to create and explore new worlds.

Being a millionaire ain't enough these days.

In modern novels, popular hero archetypes are Arab sheikhs, Italian billionaires, Greek tycoons, and princes. According to Mills & Boon author Sharon Kendrick, "the sheikh represents the ultimate female fantasy–dark, autocratic, completely powerful, outrageously chauvinistic."
