Because it's usually men who design games and play them so why not cater the women to fit what the audience wants?

And there are some good female characters you just have to look.

But yeah, slightly degrading but who cares when gaming is supposed to take you away from the reality of decently clad sagging women?

What do you mean real women? I say fuck it, if "real man" is a muscular, witty, funny and heroic tough guy I try to be, then real woman is a supermodel with D cups and waist no wider than the palm of my hand. Why the double standards? Go the gym.
YOU GO GYM!!! YAY!!! why are we praising gym? WHO IS GYM???

Nintendo is pretty much the only company that made a lasting female main character without making her into a sex symbol. She had a devasting past that hardened her to the point of her being purely a woman of action, with negotiations usually ending with a loss of limbs/life...

well, if you want a game that doesn't show women as sex objects, try STALKER: clear sky. There are no women at all. zero. Either that, or they're pretty manly and all wear gas masks.

My earthworm has the same name, we have so much in common.

Edit, regardless of gender, most characters are pretty poor in the video game world, the greatest from a story perspective are the non human characters, such as Raziel, the Witcher and dare I say it.... Bowzer.

True many games for the scantly-clad have their place, but I do also wish bosoms would follow real body mechanics at times
(oh and I hear a large reason why breasts droop so much later in life is that women wear bras early in life - reason: the muscle used to hold up the breast doesn't get trained or used when the bar holds it up and thus leads to them drooping later)... so women of the world - go braless please? (hmm how can I make a banner for that without sounding shallow or chauvinistic?)

More like:

Because men ARE incredibly shallow, which is proven by the fact these games tend to be extremely lucrative for the developers, who probably have no idea how a realistic woman may act.

Also, whenever a man says they want to play a woman in a game for "the real female experience"... What they really mean is, "I like lesbians".

Actually if I play a female (when given the choice between male and female) it's because if I'm going to be glued to a game for 20 - 80hrs, I want something I like looking at to keep my eyes focused and the female figure is more appealing than the male one, and that the developers make the females quite ... perfect in scope, even if the male is also 'perfect'..

I don't consider DD breasts perfect actually, I more prefer b cups.

I demand more hoodie-wearing cute geek girls in video games.

Of course hoodie-wearing cute geek guys aren't bad either. And typing that reminds me of the sidekick character from SiN.

If you're talking to me, I sleep on my side. For some weird reason I get uncomfortable lying on my back.

I really don't consider DOA volleyball and such to be video games as much as they are mindless entertainment. I played it for giggles, I never took it seriously. I mean, check out the physics on their chest, if mine started acting that way, I'd be a little concerned.

It is a fact that sex sells. Unfortunately the sexuality that is portrayed doesn't apply to everyone. Not every guy is into large chests, or don't get off to a woman who leaves nothing to the imagination. Hell, some men aren't aren't into women at all. Same goes for us girls. Not all of us are into muscular super men. Muscles look nice, but if they aren't good relationship material, all they are is eye candy, and candy goes old and bad eventually. If the person isn't kind, caring, thoughtful, or doesn't share similar interests, have satisfactory hygiene, and a great sense of humor, I'm not gonna be interested all that long.

But we also gotta think about what works. The average woman and man aren't necessarily "fit". They aren't going to be able to jump across gorges, fight in the ring for several rounds, climb up cliff faces, be able to hold their own in a gun fight, yadda yadda yadda. BUT, I would like to see it done. The fact that these things would prove a great challenge for the average woman and man would make a game perhaps more challenging as well.

But what of the sex appeal? Heck, if the clothes they are wearing are flattering, they got a nice smile, eyes full of character, a nice hair-do, a relatable personality, perhaps the sex appeal wouldn't be completely gone? Maybe it shouldn't be "sex" that sells, perhaps it should be "charisma".

The same goes for TV. Hugh Laurie of HOUSE M.D. is no "Brad Pitt", but the fact that he has confidence and character, I find myself becoming the school girl I was not too long ago.

*AHEM* Anyway, that's my two cents. You don't have to agree with it, but you might wanna respect my right to say it.
