It's sexy that fails at being sexy and succeeds in being hilariously ironic.For.I.Am.Mad said:
Well this is precisely the point, in any sexual encounter between myself and Serena I can only imagine she'd be the one bumming me; I certainly couldn't get it up outside of medical assistance.Zhukov said:
She's more manly than I am and I'm 6'5'', weigh 180lbs and have a beard. I am not threatened by her, just like I'm not threatened by some random massive bloke, but to then be presented with the image of her skipping about in skimpy clothes trying to be sexy in an overtly feminine way is absurd. It's absolutely hilarious, it's like Jason Statham was doing this.
Sex to sell games is nothing new and the people on here do go mental over it but my problem isn't with using sex, it's that the premise of the damn ad is wrong; Serena is not sexy. Especially not within Tennis for crying out loud; that particular sport has a high calibre of attractive women in it, even at the top tier.
And just who said she's the sexiest woman in Tennis? Assuming the agency didn't just pull this proclamation out of its arse.
I will when you learn to spell "yourself" and use proper capitalization.HentMas said:
A black person as a Monkey? Now whos the racist one again?John Marcone said:
Anna Kournikov is NOT hot at all. She looks anorexic. If she walked in this room right now, naked, I wouldnt give her a second look. Serena Williams has curves, she has a figure, shes not built like a fucking 2x4.
1)Why spend 60$ if you can just rewatch the video;
2)Seeing half-naked women doesn't actually ring the "gotta buy this stuff" bell. Especially sport sims with which the aforementioned ladies, by the way, have little to do.
And if a game sells better thanks to bewbs in the COMMERCIAL, that's just sad.
This may have been fine if there was a special mode in which you (your character) could play dressed like that. And that would not happen for a number of obvious reasons.
When Dead Space 2 was at least original and ironic, this is just plain stupid and lazy.

I'll have to disagree still sir. Still not racist after calling her a monkey? Racial slur against black people.John Marcone said:
And it annoys me sometimes that this site is populated with some closed minded people that are afraid of a woman that could make them the ***** in the bedroom.
And as for her muscles, shes PHYSICALLY FIT. I bet if you put down the donuts and potato chips and hit the tredmill you'd actually have some muscles too skippy.
EDIT: The sheer joy that I get from ignoring idiots is beyond comparison.
The sensible person in me calls this sexism at its worst, using something highly unrelated to peddal a product is wrong. These are people, not eye candy, and your shameless sexism just demeans gaming, games as a medium, your game, and the sport itself. Shame on you.
Then I remember that I, like many others, am a male. Obviously this ad was created with my demographic in mind. And this is not a perfect world, so sex will be used to sell just about anything that can be sold by slapping a bearly-dressed girl next to it. So the pig in me wonders why they couldnt find any better looking models... If your gonna do sexism, atleast make it interesting.
In all seriousness, people who wants games as art want some maturity in games. That means story, design, and advertising. And while that ad is certainly 'mature' in some ways, its hard to get respect if you have half naked ladies dancing around.
What Im trying to say, game industry, is do what movies did. Give us our Citizen Cain, our original Star Wars saga, THEN BOOBIES GALORE!!! Until then, you just embarassing us.

Ok, dude, this is the second time you called her an ape woman or a gorilla. It needs to stop.John Marcone said:
And here i was thinking that with the rise of sexulisation in the media, tennis of all things was safe....evidentley not

Guys come on please? The escapist is one of the last palces on the internet i can go without feeling the need to stab somthing
Although I dont find SW neither astoundingly overly attractive NOR unnattractive (as another poster said, I'd hit it, twice, and would probably enjoy the prospect of a third); I do believe that everyone is entitled to their own opinion. If they arent attracted to the voluptuous black women that is fine. I'd have to agree with you though, she is not manly (dont know where they got that, but whatever), and yeah some comments were taking it too far, but what did you expect on the internet?ToonLink said:
Is she come kind of a she-male? Or just very very... Manly.
Well I guess the good old "SEX SELLS" thing will never get outdated.

I'll be honest, I do prefer one miss Kournikova
Either way, that ad was pretty hilarious..... It'll probably work quite well though

The holi-than-thou tone that you use in your replies contrasts the racial insensitivity that you share with many posters who have tried to express their distaste with the word choices of your responses. Please do tread lightly John Marcone.John Marcone said:
I highly doubt that you would recognize "spade" as a racial slur, and not recognize monkey or gorilla. That is a farce, and after recognizing it as such, no amount of your convincing will lead me to believe otherwise.
There are many other ways you can express you lack of attraction to the subject matter without offending other cultures.
