Even Strippers Think Hitman's Saints Are Silly

[King_Julian]

That stripper lady sounds retarded to me. It was a good idea, you see many women in movies doing things in heels they shouldn't be doing so why bring the issue up in a video game. Twice.


What would she say about the men who made gta.

 

[Dogstile]

Its a style that they tried, they even did it in the last hitman game, why is this still an issue? All the people going "that's ridiculous, why is that in the game" are clearly missing the point, because it's been in the game in the past. It's meant to be silly.

Anyone remember Terminator 3? Arnie gets his outfit from a male stripper. So realistically, those should have been tear-away pants. So in the fight with the Terminatrix (sigh) when she picks him up by the crotch and collar, those pants should have ripped right off. It's not that I wanted to see Arnie finish that fight in a thong, but it would have been hilarious and appropriate given the circumstances.

This reminds me of the story that broke around the release of Hitman: Blood Money, in which Jerry Barr of the Clown Union said that a clown accepting a job for someone in the Witness Protection Agency, and then showing up for said job in full clown attire, was "silly" and "laughable".

Let us also not forget the narrowly avoided shitstorm that almost erupted when the Society of Mardi Gras Performers said that "number of bird costumes on display was highly unrealistic and pandered to an outdated stereotype of what occurs at Mardi Gras".

It seems that the Hitman games can't help but court controversy with their silly and unrealistic portrayal of video game characters.

That would make a hell of a movie, to be honest; SEALS in heels and leather dresses assaulting, well, pretty much anything.

I'd pay to see that.

Or take this other idea, also from Athena: "You never see male assassins in a thong with dollar bills hanging out."

That too. Well, not the dollar bills part, but male stripper-assassins would be fantastic.

Also, in game terms stilleto heels make the character taller for better or worse. So yes there is a point to them besides being sexy.

Hey Dani, I want to welcome you to the site! Or at least to posting. ^_^

As for your post: Yeah, heels make a character taller. But this is a video game - we can just make their legs longer. Or make them taller. Or make the guys they are standing with shorter. Seeing as all of those take the same amount of time and effort as putting heels on a character model, I don't see how "character model height" is a reason for putting the [assassin]Nuns in leather and stilettos.

 

[Scarim Coral]

I got to admit, she did raise a good point on why on Earth they were wearing stiletto heels if they are assassins, not very pratical.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Why do people keep calling them nuns? They're not nuns, they're assassins, albeit not very subtle assassins. After all I imagine most assassins would use a sniper rifle and not a rocket launcher, but then what do I know about assassinating people? Although dressing up as nuns is a clever idea to avoid suspicion. ...right up until they throw off most of the outfit to reveal the black leather fetish outfit, pull out the rocket launcher, and blow up half a motel that is.

EDIT: I found that trailer to be incredibly amusing, mostly because of how absurd it was.

Maybe they were Mormons and it was supposed to be Magic underwear?
Charging into battle alongside the 1st Battalion Transvestite Brigade: Airborne wing!

With fantastic makeup! and a fantastic gun!

OT: Right cool, I stopped caring a while ago

 

[Kevin Love]

Because we are all very concerned with a stripper's opinion of a video game.

 

[IronMit]

What does JA think!

 

[Smooth Operator]

All the latest news straight from the strip club, ah escapist you always have the good stuff

It is quite interesting how a lady working in the erotic entertainment business doesn't understand that some might enjoy watching voluptuous ladies.

 

[Zero=Interrupt]

No one cares what strippers think. Like hookers, they have no souls.

Also, what are they doing watching video game trailers? GET BACK TO WORK! THESE ONES WON'T GET IN YOUR PANTS BY THEMSELVES!

 

[TheCaptain]

Bleh. I bet when they made the trailer, they thought it'd been abundantly clear they weren't gunning for "practicality", much less "realism".

What became of that, by the way? Did they change anything about the game?

 

[fozzy360]

This is a story? Asking what a stripper thinks of a months old trailer whose controversy has come and gone (no disrespect)?

Jesus, Forbes.

 

[Beautiful End]

Maybe they weren't meant to be seen as strippers. Maybe the girls in the trailer were just...angry, classy whores.

Yeah, I know. I know.

 

[Swyftstar]

This is what the 24 hour news cycle has reduced us to. Why the hell are we asking a stripper what she thinks of assassins in fetish wear? And couldn't they find one less obnoxious. She has a profession that is so prone to judgement from self righteous people that she won't even use her real name and then proceeds to pass judgement on the game and the makers of it.

random f/b comment: "must be a really slow news day....."

i lol-ed

 

[OneBig Man]

I am kind of upset that they took that mission from the game out now. Honestly, who cares if it makes sense. Where were the witches guild of America when Bayonnetta was using her DEMONIC hair as a weapon as well as her clothes? Did the Crips complained when you could start a gang war naked, using only a purple dildo as your weapon in Saints Row 3? I never heard the Army say how 360 no-scopes are not real military tactics, and would be unethical on the battle field. If you don't like how someone makes their game, don't buy it. Simple as that. I never played a Hitman game, but this russles my jimmies so hard for ever even being an issue.

Somehow i feel like robin williams would take the lead role for seals with heels. His 2nd in command would be terry crews. Someone make this happen.
