GR - "Ubisoft is one of my personal favorite game publishers, and that shouldn't come as a surprise given their strong output of good games—with recent titles like Assassin's Creed 3 and Far Cry 3 taking up most, if not all of my gaming time in recent weeks."

Second, this pic is really degrading. This girl is practically naked. They should of thought of a new ad idea or at-least replaced the female with a male. That would have been more acceptable.
Edit: Ok guys, here their twitter. Plz tweet them about this ad.

Right?
We are men we have feelings we arent just pieces of meat we are human beings. /cry
So because she's not fat (or in fat girl speak - "curvy") she's anorexic? The only girls that would say this girl is too skinny are the ones who are overweight or are self-conscious of their own appearance.
You know, the one with the women with 2 sets of breasts, each one representing a Vita touch panel and this DIRECTLY comparing/equating a women to an ACTUAL object?
Meanwhile, Ubi releases an add playing off an ages old joke no one here hasn't heard before... hmmmmm.....
I just twittered to Ubisoft that I like their ad and they should keep it up!
I would rather have that than some freaky crying baby or some creepy looking alien:

Seriously, this ad is stupid and actually makes me NOT want to buy the game. Wonder what other dumb decisions they went with....no thanks.
MIKA good luck trying to get a bunch of dudes to change from staring at a naked girl to staring at a naked guy. I dont care for the ad, but id much rather stare at the chick. if it had a nude guy on the cover, good luck with sales. this is stupid and should be ignored by everyone instead of causing an uproar. that will just attract more attention and more sales. leave it be and play other games and maybe they will rethink their strategy
Go play DMC3 if you want a shirtless male. beat the game once to unlock shirtless Dante
And using a male in the same fashion is as sexist as using a girl.
ok, first up i don't believe the girl is anorexic or looks anorexic. second doesn't "...anorexic girl with fake implants" sound, uh, sexist to you.
i agree with the idea not being that good, but to suggest replacing the female with a male, sounds like you also are being a sexist.
that's the sad part of this whole "sexist" concept, you show a female doing something sexy/provocative it's sexist, you show a man in a laundry detergent commercial who can't distinguish between whites and colors it's not sexist. don't get me wrong, i do respect women's rights and all; but sometimes the idea is just open to abuse.
What do you guys think is gonna be the next trend trying to act our vidya games?
I am sure u can troll harder than this
If you don't like the ad, that's fine. But don't pretend to give a damn about sexism in the gaming industry when you yourself have just spouted sexist drivel against a woman who doesn't fit into your narrow-minded little box of what a woman "should" look like.
Sorry for the outburst, but shit like this seriously pisses me off. As someone who has a family member with an eating disorder (that isn't helped by assholes making derogatory comments about her figure), I can't help but speak up when I see comments like this.
Do I like the woman advertised? No, I like thick, curvy women. Do I find this ad sexist? No, it's more of a before/after effect based off jokes from the 70's, but you wouldn't know that since you probably grew up post 90's.
If society used half-naked men to advertise things all the time, I would get tired of seeing half naked men. As for being "sexist", well, that might not be the word.
That would probably come down to a debate of intention and context. This ad is clearly using sex for attention, after all; that isn't really the goal or intent of a beach-goer.
There are nude beaches, as well, and the intent there isn't to sell things with sex.
*sigh*
I'm not even sure what the word "sexist" means anymore. :(

If there isn't malicious intent behind the actions, meaning they are trying to subjugate women in some way, then I don't see how it is sexist. There is a difference between being misguided and being sexist. People shouldn't be quick to jump on every small thing and call it sexist because doing that lessens true sexist actions.
And I guess if that makes me wanna look more into the game and play it on my new Wii-U then cool. The ad worked...
Anyway, this is not a sexist advert...
The ones that don't get it play Zombi U with the mindset of playing COD with zombies, a la left for dead. Zombi U just isn't that type of game, it's about true survival horror, and anyone that gets a grasp on that concept will appreciate Zombi U.
It's not perfect, but it's still a damn good game. I can't recommend it enough.
Regarding the ad: I think it's more a joke about sexism than it is sexist in itself. People see the first part of the ad expecting to see a naked girl on the end, only to be greeted by a zombie girl. It's ironic, but I guess the irony will be lost for a lot of uptight politically correct people and overtly-agressive feminist types.
If this were a man, it wouldn't be sexist. /society
PS if there were some double standard that applies to something like this, then that is discrimination, and thus, sexism.
And of course I like the idea of a female saving the day rather than the usual male character in so many games before.
