Guys are pathetic, that's pretty much it. I know you think "No, really. People can't be THAT stupid, right?" yet, it works. For pretty much anything.
Maybe there are strippers who use the other kind as underwear but that's probably for a very niche market.SckizoBoy said:Yah, was 'enlightened' of its contextual definition here earlier... first time I'd heard them referred as such. -_-
Oh, the joy of homonyms in English...
Hmmm... I can't imagine much by way of dancing acrobatics without a rapid rate of disintegration (of one sort or another)...(!) =PColour-Scientist said:Maybe there are strippers who use the other kind as underwear but that's probably for a very niche market.
It's actually a good idea. You can simply not download it if you don't want boobies in the game.Alphakirby said:[snipped image]FPSMadPaul said:Here you go.

anyway I supose I shouldnt think too much about a game thats opening shot is a pair of almost bare tits...its acutally kind of funny early on in the game when the charachters are captured/tortued by the natzis Im almost thinking
"hold on this is a Natzi base....whats that stripper doing there?...oh shes suposed to actually be a REAL natzi officer..could have fooled me"
and that english chick too....she would be arrested for showing that much cleavige (mabye just for wearing pants too)
What the fuck were they thinking!?
NUDE DLC!?
....
This is the kind of shit that makes me lose hope in humanity.
If it's just a matter of getting attention, my curiosity would be equally evoked if it was a girl/guy with a giant scythe and an awesome costume. Actually, no, I would be much MORE interested. Not to mention that I wouldn't feel awkward about going to the stand.Guitarmasterx7 said:As someone who's been to E3, I can tell you first hand that it does get you to check out games that you otherwise would not give the time of day. Not even because I'm some socially depraved nerd who freaks out around boobies, but rather because a really hot girl with a giant scythe in full bondage gear naturally evokes curiosity. I mean there is a certain level of eye magnetism involved, and that's probably most of it, but that's not really enough to actually pay attention to what she's selling unless it's something you're already interested in. If her slut costume is elaborate and confusing enough though it'll definitely spark your interest.
Vault101 said:so first of all I dont know much about this or if its even commone anymore
so Im GUESSING that its attractive scantiliy clad women at game conventions and such used to promote..uh games I guess?
so what Im asking is how do you feel about it?
is it just innocent promotion...like no one complains when you have the same thing at car shows? AND it is true that gaming is still very male orientated...
OR do you find it off putting? and think it really needs to go if we are ever going to be taken seriously?
I agree with you. the "Babes" choose to do it. they are the only ones who have the right to feel degraded because they are the ones standing there handing out flyers or a trinket with sexy clothes on trying to get people into the booth to see what the product is. Anyone else complaining about it is being self serving.binnsyboy said:Kind of annoys me when people pull the superiority "well actually I find it quite disgusting." Then again, a lot of surface behavior is done with the intent of giving the best outward appearance. Get over yourselves, it's just a base marketing ploy, no different from any other advertisement strategy. It doesn't affect your decision it's just for eye catching purposes. And they've chosen to do it. It's just something that's somewhat pleasant to look at in some way, so get off your pedestal.
That is a lie. That may be true for online games (though very unlikely) but women play offline games. I'd say its closer to 70-80% of gamers are men.Slayer_2 said:99% of gamers are male
That's undeniable, men won't buy a fashion magazine or a magazine that features a less attractive man because you don't want to be buying into that 'ugliness' you perceive.ravensheart18 said:Girls like looking at pretty girls too. You ever seen a magazine geared towards women?AngloDoom said:I think it doesn't help the view that most people into games are immature basement-dwelling men with sweaty fat-rolls.
I'm not sure how valid this next bit is considering I'm male, but I imagine it sort of gives a "No girls allowed" atmosphere when it's so very much orientated toward heterosexual men.
Overall it gives me the same sense of facepalm I get when I women leans over in any film and suddenly saxophones. Everywhere.
Gay men would.AngloDoom said:We're not talking 'pretty' girls, though. When we talk of booth girls, we think of highly sexualised sluttily-dressed girls. Would you buy a magazine with a front-cover that showed a man looking saucy in a leather jock-strap?
Yes, of course some gay men would - but I was referring to the majority of men who are (as far as I am aware) swaying more towards heterosexual.tobyornottoby said:Gay men would.AngloDoom said:We're not talking 'pretty' girls, though.

Men are women on avarage are not working in the same way so some things like these can't be ported from woman -> man to man -> woman
Short answer: indeed. That's why the female equivalent of playboy, porn, boothbabes, etc are nowhere near as popular as the male-targeted ones. (Again, they do have a gay men audience)AngloDoom said:I'm sorry but I don't understand your point beyond that- are you saying women don't look at men as sexual objects or don't enjoy some eye-candy?
Well, it depends on your definition of a gamer. I'm excluding facebook, guitar hero, and iPhone apps. Yes, those are technically games, but if you think that playing those once a week makes someone a gamer, then about 70% of the worlds population are gamers.Matt9102 said:That is a lie.
