Valks "no touching" execution. | Forums

[High-Horse]

The more I think about it, I wonder why did they even come up with that execution for Valkyrie in the first place? and then have to doubt themselves, change it, and upset a lot of players, particularly Valk mains. Plus have us all riding the 'oh there was a clipping issue so we're fixing that' train.
There are several executions in the game that just plain look wrong and nonsensical, and others that just seem too downgraded. Some examples:

- Warden's 'Gut Then Chop'. Nonsensical. In what world do you completely chop a head off after fully stopping the blade right at the neck, and halting all momentum?
- Warden's 'Backhand Strike'. Downgraded. More of a punch than an execution. I personally don't see what's so deadly about it.
- Raider's newest execution. Nonsensical. The victim holds the very blade of the axe with his hands, which has the added weight of the Raider pushing in with full force. The victim's hands are basically holding a guillotine and they remain unscathed. Dunno.

Etc etc.

But Valk's new execution was the icing on the cake. A completely out-of-place idea, the first ever too, in For Honor. Which also greatly impacts the Valkyrie's impression on the game. Then oh hey, it's controversial, let's SFW it. And let's lie to everyone what the issue was.

Right? It's like trying to play both sides without taking a stance. If the choice is between a watered-down pandering and outright offending someone, I'd rather they just remove it. At least that would be taking a stance.

Exactly. Remove it, go back to the drawing board, redesign a new, and more logical, and properly polished, one. But no. They're just too lazy.

Well, check this out, hah. I really wish it was implemented THIS way. Perhaps by then, Valk wouldn't be too much of an issue lol

Hahaha WHAT? Holy **** that's awesome!

Crap now I'm just sad for HL mains.

I mean Nobushi Snap-Off Execution is different from what they told us what it was going to look like so instead of twirling her Naginata, she does a weird monkey hop at the end of the execution and never fixed it, and simply ignore all the players bringing it up. But they need to look over all their emotes and executions.

But i really wanted that accidental grope Execution, reminded of that part in the Deadpool game when Deadpool did it to Cable and got punched.

I couldn't agree more. If it's that offensive just give us a brand new one.

I was really hoping the change wasn't do to some "PC" bs.

I mean if characters can be kicked or hit the testicals What's the difference

This game is rated mature after all.

If they can have bear breasts in God of War I don't think a boobie touch is out of the question here.

Look at other fighting games, (street fighter, mortal kombat, killer instinct, king of fighters, etc etc) there's sexually suggestive themes all over the place.

Give us back our execution devs (please)

Or at least a real explanation.

Warden's 'Victory' emote, when repeatedly spammed, makes him look like he's jacking off. It's better if you do it against a wall or in a corner with your back turned. And all the better at a kneeling PK.

I'm guilty of trying all these out myself.

And I recently saw a vid where a Cent and a Glad spammed a certain emote up close and they looked like they were pelvic-thrusting each other.

But hey, all of that is fine! diversity, right?

Wait, so the Shugoki violently crushing a human skull into paste is A-ok as is the LB slowly strangling someone to death and characters cutting off limbs just to watch their opponent's squirm in terror and pain. All of that is ok. But showing a person falling forward and instinctively bracing themselves by putting his hands onto the woman who pulled him's breast is considered offensive?

So offensive in fact that that was the reason they pulled the Valk's new execution out. That's very strange to me. What is this irrational fear of the female body about? If it was a male character with that execution it would not have been removed. Why does having a pair of breasts underneath the armour change things?

And that's in an M-rated game, folks.

Idk it's super weird, but I hate feminism tampering with my games.

The only company I really respect for delivering an intended message inside a videogame without tying it to real-world BS, is CDProjektRed.

Very true. We have Viking Raiders of both genders humping their axes. We have the male Orochi looking like he is also jerking himself off. We have the Shaman dry humping the air or if you place her near an object or other character then she looks like she's humping them/it.

We have the Musha essentially making a suck my mini-Musha gesture. We got the Kensei able to sit on dead people's faces for some ball licking or taco rubbing action depending on gender choice. I mean ...

Accidentally bracing oneself against a woman's chest is the least offensive thing by comparison.
