Still, the feminists are equally tiring, if not more so.
If you ever bought and played God of War and enjoyed it, then shut the hell up now, ya hypocrite. The boundaries you want to whine about "pushing" are YOUR problem not Koga88's. He's right. Being offended is not a license to chide and censor everyone you disagree with. Your sense of taste is not law. Get over your own silly outrage.
The game takes place on a tropical island. I don't know how old you people are but I go on vacations to Cancun, Miami, Jamaica, Hawaii etc and the beaches are covered with chicks in bikinies. If a zombie outbreak would occure, there would be a lot of hot zombie chicks in bikini's.
The game's environment is a tropical island hence their decapitated female zombie statue in a bikini. It's not rocket science here people. The stereotype of a zombie is a male. I think it's great that they are using a female. Nice to get some equality in the zombie market.
people will complain no matter what so developers/publishers should always do what they think is best.
Women are still marginal in society to a degree- are still subject to asymmetrical, patriarchal relations of power. In other words, a women are made by men, by the demands of men, and they mightn't even realize it.
If this relation was reversed, a male torso would probably become offensive. The issue here is the objectifying of a marginal group in society- circulating noxious ideas about femininity and silencing the female voice.
I wonder how many women were involved in the conception of that bust...
If a person thinks that the thing sucks, then fine, but people shouldn't whine and cry about them making it like two year olds. How many people now know about this thing existing because the few people that knew about it bitched about it? Now people are curious and may want to buy it, and give the publishers incentive to do more of that.
And really, even if it isn't what they thought it would be, what's so wrong about it that it deserves this kind of backlash?
It's simple: this is another example of the internet arguing over the stupidest shit and acting as though the world is gonna end tomorrow if something about it doesn't change right now. Either that or they troll constantly just to see how far they can get things to go. Why is it that shit like this happens way too often, and that way too many people do this sort of thing? Is this what we've become as a society?
Thing is, corporations speak money, and if you don't buy something they put out, then they do get the message. It DOES go down to monetary worth because these people run a business. They are there to make money. If they don't make money off of something, then they will just not do it and try something else.
But doing this just gives things exposure and more potential buyers, which means we'll have more people talking and buying the thing than people who just ignore it.
Is it something that deserves the exposure and/or ridicule? I don't know. I don't know if the controversy surrounding it is sufficient and I think some of it is people using strawman arguments. Some people might want the thing, and that's their right. If they really want to buy it, then it's their money. But don't cry when you see more of hot button items like this and you wonder why the hell corporations continue to sell them.
It's because they know that people will BUY them! Which is why this IS a monetary issue. Speak with your wallet. What else CAN you do, really, about it. You can't force others to not buy it because they have just as much right to buy it as you do to not buy it. Simple as that!

I get dismemberment is a big deal out these games but this is a little too far.
Bit titted bikini babe = "sex sells" and LITERALLY objectifying women.
Mutilating the female form? Sure you could say it's attacking the idea that women have to have big tits, a great body and wear bikinis to be attractive, but somehow I doubt that was the thought process behind it. It comes across as pretty sexist. The woman is reduced to a piece of dead meat with big tits and a bikini. It offends me because of how stupid it is. When are videogames going to grow out of this shit?
All this is is a cheap, mindless "sex and violence" cash-grab. I mean, who's idea was it to sexualize a maimed torso anyway? That's just weird
