Vaas Montenegro must be the sexiest videogames male character.

Yes, that's not sadism. Do bring examples of those frequent explorations in the game, for I apparently remember none from the 18 or so minutes of his cutscenes.Loonyyy said:
Here or PM, either/or.
You misunderstand. He 'looks' extremely capable while having a fairly regular body frame and doesn't consist purely of bulging muscles and a titanium alloy frame. And by demeanor I meant his physical movement, which was mostly done with mocap.Loonyyy said:
Far Cry could be viewed as a character piece with Vaas being in the spotlight. Everything from design to models to voiceacting was fantastic and they didn't ruin it with gameplay. One of the critiques I saw was the lack of a Vaas battle, but I was fairly glad there was none. He, not counting the charging manifestations, was never seen inside the game. All we saw from him was a performance and he had no physical manifestation bound in gameplay that would sully it. He's like an idol.Loonyyy said:
I have to admit I found the pictures of him super sexy. Then I watched Unskippable, read up on him a little, and went, "Nonononononono. NO." So, yeah if he wasn't a psychotic massmurdering fuckhead, he'd be pretty damn yummy. As it is, the splitsecond of yum when I see his picture and before I remember his personality, quickly turns to nausea.
(Yes, female here.)

...I'm sorry, what point are we trying to make here? In fact, what the frik are we talking about?
I'm guessing it's fairly easy to ignore the undesirable traits of an entirely fictional character.
Yeah, I'm agreeing with this. I don't know why people are acting like people are finding a real mass murderer attractive; he's a fictional character, so it's not about people thinking that they can "fix" him, it's people thinking that ficitonal crimes don't mean much. Isn't that the basic premise with quite a lot of games, right? That we do some horrible stuff because it's a game and therefore it doesn't count?Zykon TheLich said:
I mean honestly, you know Pyramid Head has fangirls too, right? He's not even really human.
I don't find him sexy at all in-game, mostly because he's absolutely terrifying, and it really gets to me when he randomly starts screaming in your face.
But in real life, he's not bad at all. It was this video that got to me:
You can probably guess why. For the first bit anyway, not so much the torturing bit. He's amazing in all the FC3 Experience shorts.

Oh GOD, you ever hear of Luka Magnotta [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luka_Magnotta]? He filmed himself killing a man, dismembered his body, and mailed the various body parts top the offices of multiple Canadian political parties, and I think an elementary school too.Zykon TheLich said:
... He is very real, and he has fangirls.
OT:
Wellllll, I have to admit, Vaas is pretty damn hot looking. His sadistic personality is definitely a turn-off though.
Otherwise, daayyumm, I'd be all over him.
Well, you're welcome to prove me wrong. Ok, I was being facetious before- obviously not all girls who play games are completely batty, it just feels that way sometimes when I look back over my dating history.Vault101 said:
So far you've given me no reason to doubt your sanity. And as long as you don't start spouting neo-nazi stuff, making fun of handicapped people or going hot-cold-hot-cold-hot-cold over the course of a few minutes (just some of the wonderful things I've experienced in my dating life), I'll continue to think you're sane.Vault101 said:
Is this really a surprise? I mean the amount of serial killers than get lovers/wives in prison, and most of the inmates aren't exactly model material.
Not him specifically, but yes, I'm aware of the phenomenon. He's still essentially a fantasy for them though (unless they actually hook up with the person in question), although as he's a real person it's harder to ignore what he's done. I'd say there was a higher crazy quotient in his fangirl camp than in the Far Cry 3 guy's. Far cry guy = harmless fantasy, people can ignore bits they don't like without consequence. Actual murderous psychopath = slightly crazy, ignoring bits you don't like or even liking those bits might end up with you either in jail or several separate bin bags. There might be some overlap in the fangirl camps of course but I'd be willing to bet the vast majority of women who find Far Cry Guy (that's his name now) attractive would baulk at the idea of of having anything to do with a real life homicidal maniac.TakeyB0y2 said:
It's Tyler Durden all over again. Women went crazy for that psychopath. I know him being played by Brad Pitt had something to do with it, but something about Tyler drove them extra crazy.Ldude893 said:
Edit: Unlike Tyler Durden, Vaas is kind of "eh" in the looks department. Sure his muscle tone is nice, if you're into that, but his face is off-putting and his hair is stupid.
"well men do it too, what's the problem?"Doclector said:
Alright. you know how when a woman makes a "men are stupid" joke, they're having a bit of fun, and when a man makes a "women are stupid" joke, they're reinforcing a centuries-old legacy of institutionalized oppression? same shit here-- when a man fantasizes about being dominated by a woman, that's a thing that basically exists on its own, but when a woman fantasizes about being dominated by a man, that's reinforcing the notion that women want to be subservient to men, and, perhaps, it is their natural state to be subservient to men, which is a goddamn social tooth abscess.
And maybe a girl thinks, "That's a load of bullshit! I don't have to be socially responsible about the things I say and do! It's not like it hurts anybody!" Congratulations--you are now the female Rush Limbaugh.
