@slim934: I'm not seeing the porn part. This is a game made for adults, some people are going to dress provocatively. Also, how is this worse than skintight armor? And violence? That's an adult theme too. That's certainly not all the games have been about in the past and it's not all I'd want them to be about but I…

@Hasseo: Yes, the fact that you dont like something means that EA came in and messed with it, that's logical.

@343winks: Mass Effect's popularity has nothing to do with the nudity. That might have been how it got publicity but anyone who bought the game just for that was sorely disappointed. The game is wildly different from other RPG's aside from previous Bioware releases and the universe is unique and interesting. If…

@Sobersean: I think we already had the "chick is not cool" comments, that was in the announcement thread.

@SacGamer: Well, thing is, they probably dont give a damn whether you like it or not. I dont style my hair to make others like it, I style it the way I like it. In my case it's entirely socially acceptable but thats not why I do it.

@Orian: There arent a lot of people other than psychopaths who'd go on a suicide mission. And the previews dont mean shit, wait till the game comes out with all the details before you judge if you have respect for Bioware.

@EB-Hawk: I'll give you that it's wrong to dismiss opinions as misogynistic out of hand but many of the comments I've read come across that way. Personally, I think there's a place for a vulgar lowlife who's way over the top in ME2. Whether she's ugly or not is subjective in large part although the reasons for…

@Placentasaurus: I'm not sure how the character design doesnt fit with the rest of the universe, care to elaborate? I'll agree that they'll have to address how she handles vacuum but that's not the kinda thing Bioware usually forgets to explain and it'd be silly for them to try to do so while showing new characters.…

@Nipah: And that's cool but that's just a preference thing. There's nothing wrong with the character, you wouldnt like that type of character no matter what they did with it.

@PanicDriver: Yeah, I'm rather curious who exactly these commenter think the demographic is. Kids in their early teens? Nerdy guys who cant get laid? I'm sure that's part of it but there are a whole lot more people out there who play bioware games. I think this girl has a lot of potential and I'm really excited to…

@superberg: I have to completely agree with you. I do think it's a little lame that they didnt do a little DLC but I'd take less DLC over a large collection of new content anyday, that's what we used to call an expansion and I paid full price for plenty of those. Also, I never bought SFIV because I didnt have the $…

@ddarkly: Where's the "like" option on this post?

@curly haired boy: The lack of immune system is gonna make that difficult at best

@Curse lily: I'm sure the phrase will go away as soon as it's more common to see girls who are as serious about gaming as guys are. There certainly are girls like that out there, i'm sure just about any girl who knows of and posts on Kotaku is a pretty serious gamer, but the vast majority of girls still are oblivious…

@Experiment626: I'm not trying to be dismissive of other peoples gaming preferences, there is a market for a lot of different games and playing styles. That being said, I cant relate to people who sit around and play the Sims or WoW all day to the exclusion of all other gaming genres. For me, being a hardcore gamer…

@Vanilla_Ninja: I completely agree, it is like that much of the time. I think it's primarily among younger, less mature guys. And among those kinds of guys, it's not just video games they do that stuff with, you'll see mini skirt related fetishs for girls who fit the librarian/nerdy role, the sporty role, etc.…

@Lyner: and obviously it's not just guys creating this stereotype

@TheDarkWayne: Yeah, that's not the girl who played ashley, not even close. She was however in ME but she played a very minor role.

@Ruthless, If you let me: I have to disagree with you about Kaidan and Carth being the same character. I didnt care for him playing that role because he sounded like Carth but the characters were very different in a lot of ways. Maybe it's been a long time since you played KotOR or you didnt spend anytime with the…

@StanfordDafoe: I'm sure there will be plenty of characters who'll be good, they'll just be rough characters. Some of the people who look crazy really do just look crazy, others will be crazy, but you had morally good allies in ME and I'm sure you will in ME2.
