My favourite type of content of the last few weeks is when someone buy Dressmaker for their wife initially but then they also try the game and they get absolutely hooked on it.
I’ve seen someone say the reason men will play the game and enjoy it is comparable to when you have a game like for example Dark Souls and you eventually have people calling it Fashion Souls or the amount of effort someone puts in to dress up their character in an MMO.
I didn't know dark souls had a fashion side, cute!! I genuinely never knew that.
I personally play a lot of cyberpunk2077 and while yes, I have beaten the game several times on different difficulties, sometimes I just wanna play dress up and take pics lmaoooo
It gets to the point in dark souls that people will forego equipment with better stats because it doesn't look good with the rest of their gear. There have also always been some people who name their characters "fashion police" and invade other people's worlds just to inspect their drip. If they pass the inspection they get a round of applause or a positive gesture. Maybe even some bits of rare items. If they fail the "police" will either drop gear that will make the set look better, or just outright attack them for their crimes against fashion. It's always a good time when you see " Invaded by fashion police" pop up lol.
There are some pretty funny videos on YouTube with them. Just search "fashion police elden ring" or "fashion police dark souls" and a bunch of them pop up.
I'm so lazy when it comes to fashion ahah, I tend to just find that one good set that follows my taste and stick to it for 500h. Occasionally do some changes here and there if they add a piece I like, but it usually stays within the same style often.
I have several different sets depending on my weapon like I have my ice-weapon fit, my paralysis weapon fit, my main charge-blade fit... and I've been gathering inspiration for some layered armor sets. My palico has his own fashion but I'm sticking with spooky cat for October.
I can definitely see it. It's the same in milsim games like ARMA too. People will spend ages selecting and customizing their uniform/guns then leave the outpost just to get sniped in 5 minutes by a guy hiding in a bush.
Spent a couple hours with one of my best dude friends making dresses together last night. We were both like, “I can’t believe we are still playing this, why is it so fun?!”
I love getting my male friends hooked on 'feminine' games because they're genuinely so fun. There's such a stigma about 'feminine' games, especially fashion ones, and for what? Some of the top fashion designers are men.
Watching my buddy lock tf in to make a gorgeous dress, then use loads of buttons to put a cool s on the bodice, was a thing of beauty.
It's so classy. And with the lace, it'd also be super breezy, so she wouldn't get too warm while running across the misty moors (I'm assuming Alice, though I could be wrong). Nice work, man.
I saw a gameplay video and initially thought, "Oh, I should see if my wife would like that," because she loves all kinds of fabric/textile arts, but after watching the video, I'll probably end up getting it for myself when it goes on sale.

Is this Dressmaker ? It has been quite the hit among women.
