Really? That’s not a good answer.

The idea was to design collaboration and socialization into the gameplay. Neither version has every Pokemon so in order to catch them all you have to do some trading with people who have the other version. But it’s kept going mainly because it means they get to sell two (and sometimes three) games for the development…

Slightly different rosters of selectable Pokemon. It’s meant to encourage the trading aspect of the game, as one version alone is unable to Catch ‘Em All without trading.

Money.

EVO is the company in charge of the biggest fighting game events in the world. That’s why Street Fighter V was released so early, so Capcom could enter it into the main EVO competition that was taking place 3 months from then.

My experience has generally the opposite. When Pokemon Go opened up the local restaurants all offered deals and loved the extra business. Suddenly the half filled microbrewery seats outside were full of people drinking beer and collecting items off the poke stops while chilling out near the river.

I think some people just enjoy playing. They don’t necessarily have to be “addicted” to it. 

No one should have had to make this into a real sign...

Japanese women aren’t attracted to muscular guys in speedos, though. They like pretty boys with either bright, puppy dog eyes or slim, brooding eyes.

It is, but it isn’t. Brothels exist, but they’re not allowed to be called brothels or advertise that you can pay for sex there. Most of them are called massage parlors.

I did like that the models were very well aware of just how stupid and hyper sexualized the game and series is, a light punch does trigger all the cleavage and ass to shake on female fighters.
Keeping this series going is a waste of time, why not just make an actual new franchise? Start fresh and more up to date,…

Thing is most fans of the game would pick it up even without the sexy gimmicks - It’s a slightly worse, more batshit insane Virtua Fighter.

You could point out that the apology itself was deleted because of backlash.

In all fairness, NetherRealms has never dragged a coalition of actual human hobos on stage to be eviscerated by a man in a Scorpion costume.

And this is why DOA really doesn’t have a great serious fighting game image.

What gets me is that Ninja Theory is always like “we’re a serious big boy fighting game now” before turning around and pulling stunts like this.

The first two clips were cringe-worthy. We all know D.O.A. loves it’s “boob” physics, but that kinda goes with playing the games. But you really don’t need models on stage hyping it up. I know people going to go “but it’s Japan” on this one and I have that card to. However, in this case I am going to leave it safely…

On the one hand, this is Dead or Alive.

Wowza! Well that seems like a pretty fair and appropriate way to handle the situation. If something on stream isn’t what you want your brand to be associated with then that’s how you handle it. At that point it was starting to get a bit cringeworthy.
I love butts, boobs & videogames, so I’m happy to have them in a stre…
