no one likes how the game looks.
the visual updates somehow have made the characters look like they all have a rash of some sorts. what we meant by "update" or "change" the visual style is make the game look real. like the others...

and even with what you provided it appears your character has pink eye. just because they add ashy blotchiness to skin tone doesnt mean its "more realistic"
this game is on the same engine that all the recent star wars games were created on. aswell as battlefield and you are telling me with a straight face that they couldnt have done better?
So to make your point, you provided a character reference that looks nothing at all like what the other person posted, in art style or facial features? I even tried to adjust my character to actually match what you shared and they still look nothing alike, nor does it look like they have pink eye, so maybe you just need glasses. And subtle blotchiness actually quite literally does make the faces more realistic, you should try looking at real human faces some time.
Since you seem to struggle with designing men, and understanding what people look like, I made a few for you. And I didn't even use the facial hair options.
I'm telling you with a straight face that this is the artstyle they chose to go with. Could they do better? Definitely, considering they messed up skin tone rendering with a previous update. And the included variations are kind of limited as well, as every character ends up looking fairly youthful, and plenty of options are barely different from each other. There's also very little customization in terms of sliders, as you mentioned. But women aren't the only people that have hips and butts of variable sizes, in case you weren't aware. Unless you're 13 years old and trying real hard to pretend you're not a kid anymore, realistic isn't better, it's just realistic. It's not copping out to use an artstyle you don't like.
What's corny is you whinging about being hurt by character designs that you can create yourself, when you could just make your character look masculine if you wanted to. Maybe they won't look exactly how you want. So what you could do instead of being a weirdo culture warrior is say that there aren't enough options. You almost got there, but then you just made your complaint about something else instead.
And did so again, with this statement: "theres no resonance with skate culture in this game."
So am I to understand that "skate culture" is photorealistic graphics and an explicit delineation between genders, with no room for androgyny? What are you even complaining about?
i am glad you have found the 4 male faces out of 2 pages of faces.
you really arent grasping my point at all.
let me cut it right clean and straight for you.
for every 1 male oriented item/feature in the game there are 3 feminine.
if you want to be a man in this game you have to try or pay for it out of pocket.
if you want to be a girl its handed to you and baked into progression.
almost like either 1 they made the game oriented for women or they are saying that men will pay for things and women wont.
