For those of you that watched Sony's E3 Press Conference we were given a sneak peak at some of their upcoming PS3 games and PSN releases. One among them has caused an out cry among many Feminist Gamers. But what could get these ladies so up in arms about a silly video game?

People who feel offended by a game like Fat Princess are really pathetic. Why do anyone listen do these people?

Real gamer 4 life5742d ago

I am really looking forward to fat princess, Its going to be really fun. :)

leila015742d ago

I don't see the issue here. Seriously, how can anyone be offended by this game?

solidt125742d ago

I can't wait to defend big momma from the opposing team.

Ghoul5742d ago

well if you dont have fat women in your game and only supermodels
expect some female groups to blame you for sexualising steroetypes and disrespecting the variaty of woman bodys.

if you have fat women you get blamed for discrimitating fat woman.

:)

IdleLeeSiuLung5742d ago

Problem here is people always complain, but nobody says how you should portray them in games. How do you satisfy the feminists? Perhaps we should just completely remove women from games?

Hububla5742d ago

Maybe if they changed it to bale mic princess and you have to get her to a bathroom so she can gain her health back they will shutup?

There is a difference between a feminist and a whiner. A Feminist has a valid point and states it, while a whiner, well whines. So far everyone complaining about this game has been a whiner.

StephanieBBB5742d ago

Exactly! The same thing happend to RE5 when this whole "black zombies issue" appeared. Give one valid point to why the zombies in an poor African town should't be black? There is none, It's just beyond retarded!

We live in an democracy and that means that if one person dosn't like donuts, that dosn't mean that WE ALL should stop liking donuts. It's so immature and selfish to think that your statement is the only one that counts. By the looks of it I must say that alot of the people are thinking like that. Stop being such cöckblockers and take one for the focking team goddamnit!

Atomic5742d ago

oh really , please tell me what feminists do beside whining?

Shadow Flare5742d ago (Edited 5742d ago )

Dare i say, because they are fat, or THINK they are fat themselves, and don't like the idea of a fat princess being the butt of a joke, because they somehow feel it hits back at them? Ever hear guys complain that Dr. Robotnik had a belly as circular as the xbox 1 controller? Fat Princess is just supposed to be a fun game, a game where you SAVE the princess. Not all games have to feature slim characters. Just feel better about yourselves in general and then you won't feel so compelled to moan about stupid things like this.

kewlkat0075742d ago (Edited 5742d ago )

That's just that. Plenty other examples out there.

there was the same with some movies like "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" and that other movie "Shallow Hal"

DarkBlade5742d ago

Why don't everyone sit down and play their game. If you don't like it, don't buy it. Don't start a riot.

Tales Of Graces Ƒ Retro Review – Holding Out For a Hero

Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.

Odd this and the xillia games still haven't gotten remasters yet.

It's A Crime That There's No Sleeping Dogs 2 Yet

Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."

LG_Fox_Brazil2d ago

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai2d ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

CrimsonWing691d 19h ago

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

solideagle1d 18h ago

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Abnor_Mal1d 17h ago

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

DaReapa1d 16h ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal1d 14h ago

Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*

*As per Wikipedia

boing11d 16h ago (Edited 1d 16h ago )

Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
