Hitman Trailer.... I liked it.

There's alot of rage going on about this trailer at the moment about how its sexist and depicts women poorly and how its a changing the Hitman formula ect. So i figured why not jump on the bandwagon and give my 2 cents. For starters I'm going to address the part I like most about the trailer which contradicts the argument that its not going to be a proper hitman game. And I'm surprised we haven't already learnt this from dead island. It was a cinematic trailer. It has absolutely 0 correlation to gameplay. Or at least not until the gameplay actually ends up like that. Secondly I thought sexuality was supposed to empower women? Isn't the logic if you have it flaunt it. And if you don't want to don't. Sure they aren't actual women but this leads to final argument. This is fiction created for the sole purpose of spectacle. It doesn't seem like it has any deep meaningful messages so why try pin one to it. Its dumb, juvenile, stupid and all that good stuff. But so was Bayonetta, and that game was the shit.

Eh, I just thought it was stupid. Not particularly offensive, just plain ol' dumb.

But as for this...

Secondly I thought sexuality was supposed to empower women? Isn't the logic if you have it flaunt it. And if you don't want to don't.

Exactly what constitutes "empowerment" is a mystery to me, but somehow I don't think dressing up in nun-themed hooker costumes and being beaten to death by a dude in a suit is what folks are thinking of when they use that term.

I can see what people are getting so het up about, there is an issue in this; but personally I found it just silly and entertaining and YAY Agent 47!

I loved it, it was a childish celebration of violence and tits.
