"Is that what would make more women buy the game?" No, that's what would be considered an oversexualization of the male gender. That's what would be required for the "but men are oversexualized as well" comments to be correct. As of now, that doesn't happen, so we have a biased oversexualization of only one gender.

Damn! My bad! :)

A lot of people, like you or your girlfriend, see this as a non-issue and that's perfectly okay. But when other people say that it IS an issue for THEM, you can easily try to understand their point-of-view instead of saying "it's not an issue for me, therefore it can't be an issue for you".

Great reply.

I'm not criticizing people who want the game, despite of the oversexualization. I'd never judge any gamer/consumer who likes and wants to play DoA. I just criticize the people that dismiss this as a non-issue.

Of course everyone can be a pervert. But you have to be blind to deny that men have it easier than women. We live in a patriarchal society and this is still very much a male-centric world. Women are used daily as "material" to sell products to men. And this is an example of that. They're using a hugely unrealistic

I don't recall being able to clearly see the outline of Marcus Phoenix's ass and penis through his outfit in any of the Gears of War games. And I also never saw any such thing in a game with a male-protagonist. When that happens, you'll actually have a point. Until then, the *facts* are that most female characters are

True. I don't take this game seriously nor do I take the developers themselves seriously. They actively choose to cater to the lowest common denominator and to the most neanderthal-like layer of their userbase. They perpetuate the objectification of women based on brain-dead arguments such as "that's what the fans

Still hoping for a Wii U version, down the road.

Indeed! The Wii U seems to be the perfect console for MMOs. Hopefully, we'll see more studios trying to bring this PC/Mac-centric genre to the living room, through Nintendo's new console!

I hope they release a Mac version..!

Although Europe's list is bigger, we don't get games such as Chrono Trigger because they're US/Jap-only. That truly sucks.

I normally buy one item per hour spent on the coffee shop (be it a cup o' coffee, a pastry, or even a pack of gum). I also try not to take up a lot of space, often resting my laptop on my (drum roll) lap or using my tablet instead. I find that this "strategy" keeps me from becoming a nuisance to other customers and

What an amazing post!

It's as good as mine!

It certainly shares some resemblance with the Trine series and that puts it right on my watch-list.

Unfortunately, the Kinect is just a peripheral and devs don't have the luxury of investing a lot of time on something that most players do not have. So they end up taking the easy road and using Kinect's audio pre-processing features to include voice commands without taxing the CPU.

Should european players change their passwords as well?

We'll always have the mobile version/web app.

If this thing is packing a Tegra 3 SoC with a quad core CPU and 12+ ULP GeForce cores running at the highest clock frequencies, it can probably render some pretty sweet graphics. Not 360 or PS3-level, but sweet nonetheless!
