I would say, realistically muscles provide a athlete use while big boobs provide athletes with incredible back aches. At least as I think of it as making sense. I don't consider it for show at all.surg3n said:
Though to bring up a counter-point, I remember in a superman cartoon, superman looses his powers and he's incredibly weak even though he's already super built. I guess from that point I can see why they can be just for looks, aka characters embody ideal gender models just for show.
I still don't get people playing the "they're just following their demographic" card. If I were to count myself in the target demographic, I'd be kind of offended at being expected to be affected by this kind of blatant, naked pandering. It's just a form of condescension, really.
You do know Crytek isn't American right?Biodeamon said:
OT: If that's the type of games they wish to make then by all means they should. I probably won't play them nor will I think too highly of them.
But the way I see it the problem with video-games has never been that games with jiggle physics and grossly unrealistic female proportions exist, it's rather that they're being much too common.
But seeing as DoA has always kinda been about this sort of stuff I think it's fine. If you don't like it then simply don't play it. There should be other games that do not feature such things.
What I'm trying to say is that having DoA being as it is amongst a dozen games that do have much more realistically proportioned characters is no problem. It's only a problem if the majority of those dozen games all feature that. And seeing as DoA seems to take it so far that they consider it a genuine feature of their game worth listing they might as well keep on doing it, as long as they're the exception rather than the rule.
The gameplay was pretty good. The story/VO was abysmal.Boudica said:Is the game really that bad? I watched a friend play a bit and it looked like the first Metroid game I ever considered getting. Didn't, though. I heard nothing but horrible bile and decided to spend my money elsewhere first.Fappy said:That's far too depressing. Why did I askD Moness said:
It'll be bigger news to me when the DoA franchise actually produces a decent fighting game jiggle physics be damned. Seriously they've made rock-paper-scissors with tits. Congratulations.
It's no more a proper and fair representation of the fighting game community than a handful of wolf whistling construction workers is a good representation of everyone who works in the trades. Yes, the fighting game community started in the seedy smoke filled corner arcade where women were few and welcoming smiles for newcomers were fewer. No, that's not where the fighting game community is today. Sure there are holdouts who cling to old belief systems because it's a life they've lived for 20ish years, but even they have generally learned to temper their feelings.Zombie_Moogle said:
As for it being part of Japanese culture, however, I think from my opinion it just might be. I'm not Japanese and have never actually been to Japan, but based on the popular media that we're all exposed to, I don't think there's much question. Equal treatment of women in Japanese pop culture isn't exactly given much precedence from the entrenchment of Idol worship to the growth of lolicon. Treating the female as a visual object of desire first and foremost does seem to be the Japanese way, right or wrong. By my estimation, Hayashi is very much in the right at least on making his statements about cultural mores.
... raped Samus? Anyway, Team Ninja was responsible for the gameplay. The story and characterization in Other M, however, came straight from the nice chap at Nintendo who actually started the series.Fappy said:
You know, im kinda glad their keeping it the way it is. I'm not a fan of the games (or fighting games in general), but they've already proven there's a market for the games to sell well, and it's kind of interesting to see a company not bending over backwards because people get their oh-so sensitive feelings hurt.
People (not a whole lot, but people nonetheless) got offended with that Hindu goddess in Smite, and everyone said the devs should have left it on the main page because it's what they wanted and it's their game. Well, same thing happening here. It's Team Ninja's game and if you don't feel comfortable with their representation of women, then don't support it with your money.
