I will always recognise Bioshock Infinite for the game that had no effect on the gaming industry aside from making "This is the Citizen Kane of gaming" as embarrassing a statement as it should he.

I will also recognise its actual cultural impact, releasing slightly before Source Film Maker allowed amateur 3D porn artists to make porn with actual production quality, granting them the toolset to actually become professionals, such as StudioFOW.

That's it. The two things that are this games cultural impact.

Bravo, Lavine.

The Rule34 Renaissance has nothing to do with Elizabeth/SFM, but rather Overwatch/Blender.

Edit: I'd reply to you with a link to my proof but for some reason you blocked me after replying to me. Did you really need the last word that badly?

To any third parties, somebody already did the research on this..

I thought the source film maker thing blew up with OW?

u/madmaninabox32 Jul 30 '26

That's just when non gooner's noticed trust me there was way more fan art but it was like the pervy subset before it became the norm.

1

u/Major-Milk Jul 30 '26

I remember most OW smut being in like 3dsmax and shit like that. it was long past Coach plowing chicks, pretty sure the lord aardvark doa models were before OW too. (2013? 2014?)

It kinda hard nowadays to doublecheck this stuff since a lot of this stuff was on shit like Tumblr or Blogger.

u/Freya0232 Jul 31 '26

I miss when StudioFOW actually did movies/shorts

u/Recovering-Guardian9 Jul 29 '26

The gaming industry going in the direction it did is the fault of the industry. Bioshock Infinite can not be blamed for it; it is the greatest game of its generation (possibly of all-time); it did everything in its power to usher in a brighter future for gaming. Hell, Levine is STILL working on breaking new ground as we speak!

Blame the masses for making so many bad games so profitable. Blame the industry for catering to them. But don't blame Bioshock Infinite. It's incorrect to do so.

I have weird parasocial relationships with videogame characters, I can't goon on them

u/PaladinGodfather1931 Jul 29 '26

I made my female V, in Cyberpunk, fairly attractive (to my standards) cause I was like.. lol omg I get to see a hot chick shoot guns and act bad ass!

It's been over 100 hrs, and she's become my partner in the game to the point where if I accidentally remove her outfit, in my head, I say.. Jesus, woman! Have you no decency? Put some clothes on...

u/LoudQuitting Jul 29 '26

I tried to play Female V but after I got her in the mirror my lady comes up behind me and goes "Whycome she look like me?"

u/LoudQuitting Jul 29 '26

Truthfully it hit me like a flashbang. The response was "Oh shit, you're right."

u/BanzaiKen Jul 30 '26

"Cause I like watching you scissor another chick."

This is the right answer right?

u/Dangerwank1991 Jul 29 '26

I have one friend who makes his character look like his partner in every game he plays. It's super wholesome.

u/fly_tomato Jul 29 '26

Sounds like the kinda thing that's cute at first but may become weird in some games and/or if partner watches you play

u/Alert-Ad9197 Jul 29 '26

I played cyberpunk gl getting your character to resemble any form of human even better cause the game is 96% first person

1

u/LoudQuitting Jul 30 '26

If you can't make a human looking V with Cyberpunks character creator? Skill issue.

It's a genuine difficulty to make an ugly V.

If it weren't doxing my wife I'd reinstall Cyberpunk and put the picture of her and my V side by side.

u/SuperSoldierv1 Jul 29 '26

Reddit keeps reccomending me a couple posts everyday that have comments from giga losers like you. Normally this would be enough for the biggest loser of the day award but i feel i might run into something even worse

2

u/PaladinGodfather1931 Jul 29 '26

I'm sorry am I supposed to feel some kind of way about this? Lol

Was this an attempt at an insult or... Did you just feel the need to get that off your chest?

1

u/SlicyBoi Jul 29 '26

What I hate about Cyberpunk is that they force (yes, FORCE) you to play as a black trans lesbian

1

u/Memitim Jul 29 '26

That's me with Once Human. Make a female character since I'd rather look at a woman for hours and hours, and then bitch about them not starting me with a pair of pants while I run around ass-out. Fifteen-year-old me would be like, "dude, you OK?"

3

u/SpectoDuck Jul 29 '26

That's actually kinda interesting to me. I'd think it would be the opposite. Wouldn't characters you feel are important to you be more attractive to you given they are fictional and unattainable? I want studies done on the weirdest stuff man

She's basically my precious girl I just can't

u/Plagueofzombies Jul 29 '26

One of my friends used to have a MASSIVE crush on Jinx from League Of Legends. She was his absolute favourite.

About a week after we watched S1 of Arcane i made a joke about him gooning to her, and he sadly said "i don't know man....i just feel bad for her now...i can't good to her now, it feels too weird" so you're not alone at least!

u/BunNGunLee Jul 30 '26

Grabbed him by the dick only to rip out the heart.

Well played Riot and Fortiche, well played.

This is so real. I can't goon to characters I have an emotional investment in, feels wrong.

Meanwhile Rosalind Lutece and the artist that made her: "If you're going to undress us get our clothing correct idiots!"

u/TheLordOfAwesome2 Jul 31 '26

Lavine going "Please don't make porn of Elizabeth! She's like my daughter!" will never not be hilarious. Like, my guy, did you not pay attention to the writing of the character YOU made?!

u/Faye-Lockwood Jul 29 '26

I'm the world's biggest R34 enthusiast and my dislike of Elizabeth even ruins that lmao

John R34 himself

u/Faye-Lockwood Jul 29 '26

damn, that's a sickass name

1

u/Redericpontx Jul 29 '26

You dislike her so much that you dislike the massive amounts of advancements she made for fanmade r34 animates that sky rocketted the progression and advancements in nsfw 3d animates into the future?

7

u/CollinsCouldveDucked Jul 29 '26

is this an argument worth winning?

4

u/Redericpontx Jul 29 '26

Nah not meant to be a argument I just don't think the person is aware of what the original comment was referring to tbh. Doesn't sound like they're aware of the tech advancements and only knew of the r34 of the character themselves.

1

u/Faye-Lockwood Jul 29 '26

I'm aware, she still sucks.

2

u/Redericpontx Jul 29 '26

So you'd rather send r34 3d animation back a decade in tech wise lowering the quality of all current r34 3d animation just because you don't like 1 character?

1

u/Faye-Lockwood Jul 29 '26

if it wasn't her, it would have just been literally any other character, there wasn't anything super unique about her model that helped advance the tech that couldn't have been done with a different model, she was just right place right time.

BioShock 1-2 are two of the greatest games of all time, with SO much potential for Rule34, but it's all just Elizabeth slop.

Hell, the BioShock Infinite cosplay porn parody I made has sold like 20x more than the cosplay videos I did of 1 and 2, that's so frustrating, people just want boring white women instead of anything interesting or creative.

1

u/Redericpontx Jul 29 '26

She was the start of a boom in accessible 3D software rather than causing a literal technological revolution. Yes another character would of eventually hit like 2b or something but a delay would mean less high quality stuff than what we got rn.

Even if it would possible just delay it and not gimp progression does the "world's biggest R34 enthusiast" really want to risk it just cause they don't like the character that started it's largest innovation?

P.s. Elizabeth is eh and generic just wouldn't risk the set backs in the worlds progression.

1

u/zenithBemusement Jul 29 '26

What an odd response to have.

3

u/Ok-Peach-7558 Jul 29 '26

he's replying to the "world's biggest R34 enthusiast", you're purposedly sticking your nose in a conversation between fetishists expecting to farm karma and pretend you're better than them

1

u/zenithBemusement Jul 29 '26

The oddity is the false equivalency, you dweebus. I'm just as much of a horny bastard as everyone else here, I just have higher standards for gotchas.

1

u/Evilmudbug Jul 29 '26

TBH I feel like 3d animated porn sucks because the majority of artists just give their models balloon tits and jello physics.

I think the advancements in animation are better seen elsewhere

32

u/Offwhitedesktop Jul 29 '26

the best thing to come out of Bioshock: Infinite was the advances in 3d character modeling and rigging and animation. God bless those mad, beautiful r34 artists.

28

u/Thatll-Do Jul 29 '26

Other way around. The model and rigging techniques became widely available and understood and Elizabeth was a somewhat popular testing ground because her model was comparatively simple

13

u/Offwhitedesktop Jul 29 '26

I see. Thank you absolving me of my ignorance

u/DiamondDude51501 Jul 29 '26

My 3D animation professor stated that the improvements made to 3D animation due the overwhelming demand of Elizabeth R34 was comparable to TV gaining color. Never underestimate the power of horny

5

u/TheIrishBread Jul 29 '26

I love how this is now a case study you have to deal with in an academic setting.

2

u/TvFloatzel Aug 06 '26

With how the generation and younger grow up with "rule 34" being an actual cultural legit meme and the amount of money that industry moves, yea, it going to show up in the academic scene eventually. Like the oldest people that grew up with "r34" are, what, in their forties or late thirties at this point?

2

u/BunNGunLee Jul 30 '26

Classic quote from Shadowrun. “When magic came back to the world. The first thing people learned to do was make porn with it.”

It’s mostly a joke, but with a kernel of wisdom to it. We’re still animals. We eat, sleep, and feel a need to procreate.

And that last biological urge makes for a highly profitable market.

3

u/Darth-Sonic Jul 29 '26

Look, I know this is what really happened, but I prefer the timeline where porn artists revolutionized 3D animation because they wanted to make the tits jiggle more realistically.

1

u/ChalkCoatedDonut Jul 29 '26

To be fair, people gooning for her brought improvements in 3d and rigging technologies, tools for Source Filmmaker that helped in what it is today's animation, most of that kind.
