Dead or Alive 5 Director: A Lot of Fans Want Bigger Breasts

[Tippy]

Ridiculously sized boobs perpetuate the myth that straight males like big boobs, when things like shape and jiggle physics are obviously more important.

I sorta agree, but it makes you wonder exactly WHERE the devs get the idea of such jiggle physics that makes the boobs seem like they're made out of water.

Not coming across as a perv or anything, just genuinely displaying that boobs (even decently-sized ones) DON'T bounce up and down while the woman is standing fairly still.

And then there's Dead or Alive physics...

Talk about overdone and borderline repulsive right? They literally jiggle with the wind like flimsy water balloons. It's just...eewww. As a typical hetro male, it turns me off -_-

Oh for crying out loud! I can't take it anymore!

"Big boobs perpetuate the stereotype that gamers are immature/like big boobs."

No they don't. It's a video game. Most people understand that video games aren't realistic. And nobody comes to games for realism. Oh, it's okay to have magic fireballs and demons and supersoldiers, but the moment somebody wants to have abnormally large boobs, suddenly that's where we've gone too far? What kind of logic is that!? It's okay to be unrealistic, and it's okay to be unrealistic in every possible way. That's what makes video games so much fun!

And "immature"? I'm sorry, I wasn't aware this was the international Catholic School forum. Exactly how is it "immature" to have a healthy sexual appetite? Exactly how is it "immature" to fantasize in ways that appeal to the natural emotions that evolution gave us? Fantasy is not "immature". The only thing immature here is your outdated puritanical attitude about sexuality. It's okay to fantasize. It's good for you. It's normal. Even if your fantasies are physically impossible, that doesn't make you a freak.

Dead or Alive does not represent the tastes of all men. But it does represent the tastes of some men, like myself. Though many of you don't like big boobs, some of us actually do, and we'd appreciate it if you'd quit trying to take them away from us. It may not be what you're into, but that doesn't make it wrong for other people to be into it. And it certainly doesn't give you the right to impose your taste in women on us. I like big, unrealistic, perky boobs, and I'm proud of it.

Liking unrealistic boobs does not mean there's something wrong with me. And it's offensive to imply otherwise. I can't help what I'm attracted to any more than you can. Hating somebody's fetish is as bad as hating somebody's sexual orientation, because neither of those things are a choice. If my love of unrealistic boobs isn't harming anybody, then what exactly is the problem? There is none. This is merely prejudice, an unwarranted hatred of fetishism.

For that reason, it doesn't matter if the boobs are unrealistic or not. That said, let's pretend for a second that it did matter, just for the sake of argument. Well guess what? The boobs in Dead or Alive aren't all that unrealistic. I'm serious. Have you been outside lately? I don't know where you're from. But I can go outdoors at my college and witness chests that put several of the DoA girls' chests to shame. And not even on fat girls. I'm talking healthy, physically-fit women packing beautiful racks. It hasn't been the 1950's for at least 60 years. Boobs are getting bigger. Not on everybody, granted. But some women really are getting "gifted" in that area. Go outside. Seriously.

Last but not least, no, Dead or Alive does not "create unrealistic expectations". That is a lie, plain and simple. This is the same logic that news outlets use to claim that Grand Theft Auto makes people violent and dangerous. "You see it on the screen, therefore you need it to happen for real." And it's bullshit logic based on laughable pseudo-psychology. I love the big breasts on the girls of Dead or Alive. Not only that, but I've been watching anime since I was 12 years old; anime that features women with extremely prominent boobs. And yet just a week ago I asked out a girl who was maybe a C-cup at breast, but likely smaller. And you know why I asked her out? Because I was genuinely attracted to her. On another note, between Panty and Stocking [http://api.ning.com/files/FdJ0MDuejKziIkHg1sZDoXx*BViGuEVdmD6bK*BGB6ILrMQv9*QQnTNxRd5HtklUdmPTXiRgj22IaDQDvR*XbA__/horriblesubspantyandstockingwithgarterbelt01720pmkv_snapshot_0401_20101002_111636.jpg], I actually like Panty more. (The one on the left.) Even though her chest is small even by real-world standards, I find her more attractive than Stocking because of her personality. That's right, I actually factor personality into my choice in women. So I ask you, smartasses, if Dead or Alive truly creates unrealistic expectations in me, then where's the proof? There is none. Because Dead or Alive doesn't do that.

In your face, I rest my case. Those of you who love big boobs, be proud of yourself. Breast fetishism pride, haters gonna hate.

Large breasts do not equal attractiveness or "sexiness". Either way, do we really want to even further the stereotype that gamers are all just horny teenage boys who want digital boobs everywhere?

Who are you to decide what is "sexy" and what isn't?Some people just have personal taste.

Spoiler

I think there is a lot to be said for a game developer that single mindedly creates ludicrous filth. There is a beautiful sincerity about it, unfettered by the need to boil down the game into mass-market dross.

 

[Davroth]

Yeah, they totally need bigger breasts.. Maybe I don't feel like a pedophile anymore beating off to those animated children with tacked on jelly bags... <.<

[Insert statement about "all men think (x)"] [Insert stale witticism about decline of society.] [Insert hipster reference about how cool I am for not liking this.] etc. etc. etc.

Seriously, I loved DoA: XBV, and own one and two. The volleyball was entertaining enough, and I love playing dressup with my pretty fighters. Also making pairings out of the longtime nemiseseseses and forcing them to cooperate to win was hilarious. I got to see hilarious breasts immitating a 7.6 earthquake, I got to laugh as my female friend and I failed to be able to win a set because we were busy trying to get the characters to do superpowered spikes, and I don't feel less "manly" or like I'm a horrible person for enjoying it.

Seriously, DoA is teeth grindingly hard on the hardest setting. As a fighting franchise the last one kind of left me meh, but overall I've enjoyed it. If he wants to increase the girls breastsize I'm cool with that as long as it doesn't stray into "give self blackeye" territory.

I like boobs-I like them big-I like anime/video game characters-I like to be titalated while playing a game= I love and agree with team ninja ^_^

Some people might think that smaller is cuter.

As a 40 year old gamer I can tell you for free, jiggle physics and larger breasts are not selling points to me. I am on my second marriage and I see naked breasts (briefly) every day. The demographic that is interested in jiggle physics is the demographic that is under 20, doesn't have a credit card for access to porn and has limited privacy to engage in sex.

Hilarious post. My favorite part was the idea that someone needs a credit card to access porn.

Your inability to conceive of a demographic, based entirely on your own personal experience, doesn't negate the existence of such a demographic. There are, in fact, plenty of "pathetic" older gamers who, if polled, would absolutely admit to enjoying jiggle physics and massive cans. But we're all very happy for your own success in love, meaningless as that myopic anecdote might be to this conversation.

If you were 8 when dead or alive 3 came out you would only be 19 now. You can follow a game series for 11 years and still be under 20.

Sorta my point. If you're 19 years old, you're either capable of buying your own games or capable of deceiving mom.

*facepalm*
Look, Team Ninja, it's okay to like tits. Everybody like boobies. They're fun to look at, fun to play with and fun to smoosh your face in and go HUBBALUBBALUBBALUBBA. Now I personally prefer them in a more manageable size (read: not so big that they create their own laws of physics) but as a whole, I like boobs. There's nothing wrong in admitting to that. Frankly, if you'd said that you like jubblies and love making up weird jigglies for them, I would've applauded you for staying true to your own style where even the word "girlfriend" in videogame development leads to a ridiculous shitstorm.
But for fuck's sake... trying to justify sexualization as part of Japanese culture? This is insulting to both you and the culture you claim to defend. Saying "guys, I like dem titties and Imma make a game with copious amounts of huge titties because I like dem titties" is a-ok. Claiming that this is some sort of cultural service to your country is cowardly beyond words.

Seriously, who the fuck keeps giving game developer a microphone? Haven't we learned by now that they're apparently to dumb to brain beyond creating videogames?

I simply quote this because it literally made me laugh out loud, thank you for that sir/mam, you get my internetz for today.

And I agree, Team Ninja should just go ahead and be completely open.
I can see the press release now:
"We at Team Ninja have decided to finally come forth on a matter that has riled humanity as a whole and nearly started World War V, a War so badass that it would have skipped right over III and IV. Our stance on the breasts of our female characters. Earlier, we claimed, that these breasts were designed to appeal to a mature gamer audience that appreciates the shape of the female body in a classy, artsy way. We also made the claim, that these designs sprang from roots deeply engrained in our culture. However, these statements were not completely accurate.
The honest truth is: We like boobies. Milkbags, Melons, Knockers, Mammaries, Assets, Bazookas, whatever you want to call them, we like them. And I personally appreciate breasts in all sizes and shapes, but our lead designer has a thing for gargantuan jigglypuffs which is why he decided to make every jellybonker of such huge proportions, that, by right, they should have their own gravitational pull, and, in fact, if you manage to get an apple into the game and throw it at a female characters bristols, it will orbit around them.
Again, I am not opposed to having smaller breasts in games, but we wanted to see how far we could push it before everyone would cry out against us. We coded parts of the game so that every chesticle would be individually moved by it's own physics engine and we enjoyed that, not because these bouncing bazongas aroused us, but because it gave us a sense of boyish glee to push the envelope of kahunas in games even further.
In short, we did it, because we, at Team Ninja, fully subscribe to the notion of liking sweater puppies and we shall not apologize for that.
We are deeply sorry however, about the civil wars we caused in some parts of the world, where gamers and non-gamers alike took to weapons over this issue. Tis tragic, that something as beatuiful and wondrous as female breasts would incite such violence. Our hearts are with the families of the fallen.
Now if you will excuse me, I have to go, I am in dire need of a good HUBBALUBBALUBBA.

Again I can quote my favourite post and be relevant and on topic. Hurray for me.

why is this such a big issue?
