it's weird for me to think that there are people out there who actually have/had a crush on alyx vance and think she's hot. i really don't get it, she looks like an ugly dude who got plastic surgery to try and make himself look better. potentially one of the first examples of a game trying to make a girl look "average" when most women look far prettier than she does.
@rosey you had girls that looked like this in 2001, there's no excuse
@rosey meanwhile this is alyx's official art from 2020. gives me michael jackson vibes tbh.
alyx wasn't popular because she was pretty, it's because of how expressive she was
@rosey i guess i can see that from like, a technical point of view. still doesn't change the fact she looks like a dude though >_<
DoA is the first thing that came to mind just because the girls are pretty, but perhaps a better comparison would be heather from silent hill 3 in 2003.
@beardalaxy she is smart and not annoying, girl next door vibes, and looks realistic when in comparison to anime girls + tomboy = w
how would she look conventionally "pretty" anyway when she literally lives under alien dictatorship
