Fan Service

[Xero Scythe]

You know what? If boys get boob physics than we should get crotch physics! It's only fair!

Thank you for ruining any amount of fun I can ever have playing Metal Gear Solid. Nothing will get the image of Solid Snake's "Solid Snake" jiggling up and down as he runs out of my head.

you have the mental image, but we have the reality of an entire physics engine devoted to boobs.
Edit: Besides, I thought Naked Raiden from Metal Gear Solid 2 would have ruined it for you.

One problem with the crotch physics. Any guy would notice this, since well... you know...
anyway, there really isn't such a thing as crotch physics. Whereas boobs are far enough off center and have enough mass to actually sway, the groin really doesn't move. It stays close to the center of the body, has little mass most of the time, so you would actually have to be paying incredible attention on a plasma screen tv at Imax to notice the slightest movement. and I mean staring. So, one could reason that there already are crotch physics.

...That, and we live in a patriachical society.

My girlfriend finds 'jiggle physics' hilarious and always points them out, but she is a tad unusual
I can see where you're coming from completely, but the sad truth is most gamers are lonely teenage guys who lap up boob physics like a hungry dog, and I can see it staying that way for a long time

Well you could always write a letter to the game companies or something. That's kinda the story of how the idea of Raiden came to light in the first place.

And now you ruined mine....thanks a lot!

Do we REALLY need to rehash the whole "sexism in games" thing AGAIN? Isn't this like the third or fourth sexism thread in the last week or so?

[quote = "Jenny Creed"]I don't have the energy to discuss sexism in media again today so I'm just going to link http://www.thehathorlegacy.com and let everyone see for themselves what's what.[/quote]

Honestly, at least in the United States, you have the right to speak freely, you have the right to worship freely, and you even have the right to assemble, petition, and then distribute a paper about your petition freely. What you do not have is the right to not be offended. If boob physics upset you that much, then go do something else. I know that there are a lot of big, busty women in games, but I think I speak for a great many people that when I'm playing Soul Calibur, I'm not there just to stare at breasts and oggle butts. I really think that the people that are making such a big deal out of this "Objectification of women in games" are reading WAY too much into this.

 

[Pegghead]

Okay I'm really confused now. By what the threads title suggested this was to be a discussion about whether or not fan service (For instance all the little nods to the original and the cameo of Leonard Nimoy in the most recent Star Trek film) is a good thing but by the OP it seems to be an irrelevant discussion about jiggle physics which are in no way intended service to fans.

 

[Vrex360]

I actually am also in the crowd of people who don't really like the ridiculously oversexualised looks of a lot of female characters in games.

That said, while I like a little fan service on the side, nothing irritates me more than when a game goes all out and crazy with the fan service. Little cameo appearances from beloved cast members and stuff, that's all fine but when a developer goes all out and alters the story just to please fans or removes entire parts of the game altogether just because some people whined about them, it just tends to annoy me.

Point is, fan service should be part of every game but it shouldn't be the primary influence that alters the design of the game so drastically. At least not for plot or story telling anyway.

Honestly I never found animated girl attractive since it's just a fantasy and just too perfect, it sort of hits an uncanny valley.
but if a girl is cosplaying for some reason that becomes insanely attractive, possibly because it's the impossible and possible combining to create a perfect fantasy.
I think girls get this too because when I was dressed as Travis Touchdown at a convention, girls were giving me phone numbers left and right.

...Like this?

hmmmm. ya'know for dressing as a male character, shes pretty cute I was thinking more along the lines of a sailor moon, Bayonetta, or Tifa but that could work, or if that just happens to be a very feminine guy I will need concealing.
then again I've pulled off a pretty good L in the past so maybe I'm just a narcissist.

 

[Amethyst Wind]

I sincerely hate it when they lampshade it at the end of an episode, most heinous offender for this is Evangelion, this is a psychological horror anime with mecha overtones, we don't need Misato promising breasts next episode, it is out of place and not at all amusing.

 

[Gigaguy64]

Im not Completely opposed to Fanservice of the Erotic Nature.
I just tend to Avoid it as much as possible.

Most of the time it Ruins the Anime/Game/Show for me and it begins to choke out the story and characters.

Though i will ignore it for a great show/game.

Vandread is one of my favorite Animes and it had some Fanservice.

But i Balanced it out with the Story and Characters so well.
Plus it didn't get disgusting and it was mostly funny.

 

[SnowdensOfYesteryear]

Crotch physics would scare away the insecure adolescents that are always paying for the game.

But really... I have no problem with fan service, though I really prefer blatant than "Tomb-Raider" style that tries to hide it and say "oh, Lara's really smart too," when no, really she isn't.

 

[Arcane Azmadi]

-snip-

You know I would like it better if they just scrapped jiggle physics. Not only is it unnecessary but it's weird and the way the boobs bounce around just freak me the f**k out, and crotch physics would just add to the problem. They can have attractive leads without the creepy physics yeesh those guys are creepy... I don't know why I felt the need to sensor myself, but I did.

You mean like this?

 

[Fusoiya]

Us Boys simply can't help it... our mind is too weak... we need those Oversized Watermelons! D:

Actually I prefer nice sizeable ones that fit nicely in my hands, if they're humonguos I usually get turned off :/

Also like 90% of people who watch anime want to see lame stunts that end up in double entendresse's

 

[Arisato-kun]

I'm a fan of small breasts so boob physics do nothing for me.

Panty shots on the other hand.....

 

[Insane_Foxx]

i wouldn't mind, but really. Just sit down in a park, and watch chicks walk by.. theirs some jiggle.. watch a dude walk by.. nothing. So, doesn't work that well. Without being psychotically well endowed anyways.

Not a game, but "Photon the Idiot Adventures" is the only non-hentai anime I've seen with crotch AND breast physics in it, & it's hilarious & so very very wrong. XD

 

[Arionis]

I'd rather not have crotch psychics.

And big, jiggly boobs creep me out. 8/

Also, Naked Raiden was also a ken doll.....>.>;

Watch Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou. It's the one show that manages to perfectly balance fan service with action and a serious plot. It's the best harem I've ever seen.

I thought everyone knew that the Japanese invented Breast Physics to hypnotize America's Youth so that they would do Japan's diabolical bidding no matter how diabolical. I mean really, it's not that hard to figure out.

And you're telling me you want to get hypnotized to do their bidding as well?

 

[Marik2]

Im not affected by big boobs, but I hate it that some of my favorite anime has girls with oversive boobs, ugh -_-

Spoiler: Sorta NSFW
