I'd Forgotten This All-Girl Fighting Game Was A Thing

Kotaku - Man, what was that game again? The one where the women are all kidnapped and forced to fight, with the Nobel Peace Prize winner in the fishnet top and cut-offs with electrical tape over her chest? Man, good thing Kung Fu Factory decided to get rid of... oh wait, they're still making Girl Fight? And it's due out this month?

adventureghost1243879d ago

I can literally feel the comments of how this game is sexist flowing in

clrlite3879d ago

Have you ever noticed how the people/websites making a big deal about these things are often sleazier than what they are complaining about?

Eonjay3878d ago

Naw if the offended females wanted to really get their point across, they would make a overtly sexualized fighting game where all the characters where male models fighting in speedos and tighty-whities with whips, chains and whipped cream. Until then they are going to have to calm down and grab a controller.

TenBensons3879d ago (Edited 3879d ago )

@adventurghost

And rightfully so.

Studio-YaMi3879d ago (Edited 3879d ago )

No it's not,males usually prefer a sexual woman over an ordinary one,men like boobs(the bigger the better for most men at least) and they like their women to be sassy,what's wrong with that ?

So now let's go on and on how adult films and any adult theme(even in major block buster movies) should be banned for it's distasteful view of women oh booohooo !

I for one have no problem with women being sexy,be that in videogames or in reality.

TenBensons3879d ago

@Studio you have missed the point entirely.

Most PEOPLE prefer fair representation of gender,race and sexuality. Games in general are poor in their representation of all of these things and it's only fair that they get called out on it and praised when they get it right. The Last of Us is a great example of great representation .

Also 'sexy' is subjective. To me wearing next to no clothing or/and being 'sassy' are overused clichés. This kind of crap is saturating all forms of media and people should be allowed to express their dissatisfaction that all to often developers/producers default to it to gain male interest.

There is nothing wrong with adult themes but for the most part the execution of these themes leaves a lot to be desired and calling the over sexualisation of female characters adult themes is a cop out.

DasTier3878d ago

@TenBensons "Most PEOPLE prefer......"

It would seem that you have, most unfortunately, mistaken the meaning of the word most.

TenBensons3878d ago

@Das Tier

Touché.

Have a bubble for humour alone.

Just watched some gameplay and it was tame as hell. Dead or Alive is like 5x worse.

Blacklash933879d ago

Can people stop saying "literally" when they actually mean the exact opposite?

Blacklash933878d ago (Edited 3878d ago )

I just find it annoying. People mean figuratively, which is essentially the opposite of "literally" yet they use that term anyway. You cannot literally feel comments being posted on the internet.

adventureghost1243878d ago

well apparently some people cannot understand "SARCASM" -_-

JustPlay43878d ago

I'll just use this guy comment: "Oh hey it's like Skullgirls only awful" that what I think

adventureghost1243878d ago

not exactly liberals, feminists, and damn can they be ignorant

Guess no one has ever heard of Arcana Heart? It has been there done that :)

Studio-YaMi3879d ago

The girls in this Dead or Alive wannabe aren't even really sexy to begin with.

And yes Arcana Heart is AWESOME ! :D

Lord_Sloth3879d ago

This music is terrible, designs are meh, and the animations are very stiff...Not a euphemism either.

WheatBread3879d ago (Edited 3879d ago )

Not bad, but it could be a lot better. I hope next gen devs focus on the thigh and butt physics as much as the boobs. The more jiggly the better.

thejigisup3879d ago

I just wanna know if this game will 1. Be any good mechanically speaking. 2. If it will make any sense. IF the game is a sound fighter then it doesn't need to make any sense. But why all girls? I can understand the arguement, why not? But really? didnt we already have something like this and it didnt do too well?

The 21 Games of VICE’s Lifetime That You Were Wise to Avoid

VICE: "Here we have 21 of the absolute worst games to have been released since the last time England failed to qualify for the World Cup finals and Rednex had a British number one single. You didn't ask for them, you got them anyway, and they were fucking terrible. I'll let other people summarise these tragedies because, frankly, I don't want to be anywhere near them. And if you ever have been, I'm sorry. So, so sorry."

ninsigma3176d ago

Highly disagree with knack being on this list. It's a lot better than it was given credit for (like ryse son of rome). Surely haze would have been better suited??

Gwiz3176d ago

Haze went trough a drastic development change near the end of it's completion,due to issues with the UE3 licensing process.It's not really the same thing and was an unfortunate outcome of events.Knack on the other hand was intentionally lacking.

joab7773176d ago (Edited 3176d ago )

Knack doesn't belong on a list THIS bad! It's nothing special but...wow!

MSBAUSTX3176d ago

I personally really enjoyed knack. I got it the same time as Little Big Planet 3 and played Knack a lot more. LBP3 is much more of a let down than Knack was. Different developer I know, but Knack Does not deserve to be avoided.

ninsigma3176d ago

Big time! I'm surprised that you're disappointed with lbp3. I personally thought it was the best in the series (obviously it was quite short in comparison though). What let it down for you??

scark923176d ago

LBP2 is one of my fave games of all time!, the only problem I have with LBP3 is the interface and level choosing, very awkward, LBP2 had a better interface imo.

MSBAUSTX3175d ago

Lbp3 was a glitchy mess and froze constantly. Lots of people had this issue with it. Lbp2 was much more impressive to me.

SaveFerris3176d ago

Still waiting on the announcement of the remastered Ride to Hell: Retribution for Xbox One and PS4...

Top 5 Reasons Boobs Sell Bad Games

CheatCC's Jason Messer counts down a list of games that sold simply because of their sex appeal.

bOObies3309d ago

You're still trying to get this approved. lol At least the subject matter is good, but I don't like how they roast DOAX. I liked that game :)

insomnium23308d ago

No need to even think why sex sells. It's all biology and pretty girls are the ones sitting on the biggest most profitale (ass)et on this planet.

Ugly girls are the ones who turn to feminists for the lack of said attention.

Can't compete? Feeling jealous? Can't do anything to pretty girls to change them? Then it's time to criminalize everything. Go feminazi!

Mutant-Spud3308d ago (Edited 3308d ago )

What about bad boobs in good games?
http://www.magitek-designs....

AntsPai3308d ago

Lollipop Chainsaw is a great game, won't give click to this bait.

urwifeminder3308d ago

People with no experience handling orbs other than breast feeding and the onset of puberty would certainly drive the sales.

DragoonsScaleLegends3308d ago

Nope, virgin here and boobs/sex in games put me off more than anything since I play games to have fun with friends and family instead of masturbating.

Let’s just get to the part about how sex sells games and how there are several games throughout history that have either relied on or were sold solely for their boob-laden content. What follows is a list of some of the top-selling boob-fired sales winners.

I like boobs...I like video games...makes sense to have a bit of both

PoSTedUP3371d ago

i hate men...i hate sexy women...makes sense to write a misogyny article.

WeAreLegion3371d ago

One website that uses sex to get hits.

WeAreLegion3371d ago

Haha. That's definitely one of them.

I'm just referencing the various smut pieces cheatcc keeps making.

PoSTedUP3371d ago

didnt know cathrine was like that. from the gameplay i saw i was gonna rent it because it looks good right up my ally, not because of sex. also heardit was a good game.

SaveFerris3371d ago (Edited 3371d ago )

Were The Guy Game, Girl Fight and BMX XXX really 'top selling'?
