Sorry folks, but I feel the total opposite. There’s room for politics in games, but it seems like you want any game that brushes up against politics (regardless of whether it’s left, right, or center) to make a grand statement on the issue. For the most part, people don’t play CoD, Watchdogs, the Division, or Ghost…

Hey, if it makes you happy, implose away, duderino.

The Mass Effect MAKO is back, baby!

Sorry but this series is about over the top characters which includes both males and females.

Look, there’s thousands of different kinds of games out there, with different game-plays, aesthetics, as well as music. If one of these games bother you so much, despite there being countless other fighting games with a visual style/physics more suitable to your liking, then go play those games. Complaining about this…

They should own it. Games, like all media, are for a the creators audience. There’s nothing wrong with being sexy just for the hell of it.

In all seriousness, if so many games are moving in the direction you are excited for, must the existing games that don’t fit with what you expect no longer be released?

My point is, if this type of titillation exists in all other forms of media, do you expect it to be erased from videogames completely?

Of course, as a…

Just let people enjoy shit, c’mon

Objectifying virtual characters that don’t exist, or just general, natural sexual attraction or interest being used in the creation and marketing of a game?

I will always be mystified by the notion that a game is failing in some regard if it isn’t designed in a way that is appealing to everyone possible. Be it being extremely difficult or having a sexual content, some games just want to go for a certain direction. There isn’t really anything wrong with that.

“SoulCalibur actually was in a little bit of a crisis as a brand. The company climate wasn’t really encouraging another installment for the franchise,” said Okubo.

I don’t disagree with anything you’ve written here, but at the same time, I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong with making a video game that is designed - in part - to titilate men. And there’s absolutely no reason such a game should not have good gameplay just because it’s designed to be sexy. But I don’t…

I kinda feel this is going the way of body shaming. There are women out here in real life that do have these body types. I get that sure there are scantily clad large breasted women fighting. But is it because of what they are wearing or the size of their breasts? Because I dont see anything wrong with this, same…

Nice article. He really dodged those questions.

Well, they’re not the only ones to use scantily clad women to attract interest.

culture clash. this is always going to be the answer when it comes to this. japanese gaming/media doesnt have this new found awareness america and a lot of the west are dealing with. in the eyes of the eastern creators, flash and boobs and the female form are just as awe inspiring as flashy finishers, bright and big…

Well, just like with BF5, these folks choose to go for this direction. Nothing wrong with it. The guys are bare chested too and all that.
