A female reviewer and a low score? Much surprise.

JTGA2908d ago

Do you actually believe the things you write? I checked out some of your other comments dude. How does the writers gender have anything to do with determining final score?! What is your point exactly? Is your argument that girls review games badly because they're... female?! Are you just saying things to be inflammatory? Because I think you're just saying things to be inflammatory. Fascinating.

Anyway, back on topic. It doesn't sound like a great game. All the negative points in the article seem justified.

KentBenMei2908d ago

You ask how the writer's gender has anything to do with determining the final score? Are you mentally handicapped, good sir? Are you without common sense?

"If you like your fighting games to be replete with bouncing breasts and clothes that tear at the drop of a hat, then Senran Kagura Estival Versus is definitely for you."

RIGHT off the bat it subtly bitches about tits. How do you THINK her gender affected the review?

Hell, you can tell by the chosen picture for this very article that the focus was on the sexual aspects mainly rather than ANY of the rest. Why wasn't it a picture of the box art? Or a clothed character? Or some fodder enemies, or a male character, or literally anything but what was chosen? Sheer chance? Right.

"There are naked transformation scenes, generous chest assets and torn clothes aplenty, but is there more to the game than just fanservice?"

It goes into this with the assumption that there's not much more to the game than fanservice, that's no way to review. What kind of question is this? Do we go into Call of Duty asking if there's more to the game than senseless murder? Maybe some SJW site does, I don't know, I only read legit reviews and none start with such negativity.

Think what you want pal.

JTGA2908d ago

@KentBenMei

Woah! Revelation! It never clicked. It must be my mental handicap. It forces me to react to things beyond face value, and consider the possibility that the reviewer just didn't like the game. What a shame. For people like me. Oh well.

Also, side note: "bouncing breasts and clothes that tear at the drop of a hat"... I'm sure there are plenty of girls who like that sort of thing. *gasp*! What?! How could they? Only men like that. Girls don't, so they write bad reviews. Consider for just a moment that the reviewer just isn't into that sort of thing.

Second side note: "There are naked transformation scenes, generous chest assets and torn clothes aplenty, but is there more to the game than just fanservice?"... She's gender bias because she wanted more substance from a video game? See what I did there? I considered an alternative viewpoint. You should try it, instead of reacting to things at face value.

Mental handicap! Exit! Stage left!

MongooseGeneral2907d ago

I know JTGA and I can confirm he is mentally handicapped because he believes women can write balanced reviews.

Great franchise.
Was introduced to it in 2011 and watched the anime when it was finished airing shortly after and became one of my favorite new IP in 8th generation. With Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson being my favorite out of Burst, SV and EV.

BlackOni2446d ago

That's good to hear, but I do hope they put more resources in refining and smoothing the combat and animation quality. There are improvements to be maid, but I do like the series.

DivineAssault 2446d ago

Who doesnt like fanservice? I havent bought it yet but i will eventually just to have it..

ErogeMaster2446d ago

Rather like context to fanservice making it by juvenile means makes it a joke just look at the doa series can't take that series seriously.

DivineAssault 2446d ago

Hey, DOA is a great fighting game..

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory2446d ago

people who don't like animes, japanese games or watch ecchi anime and hate fanservice in anime

DivineAssault 2446d ago

Its not fanservice if theyre not a fan..

The Friday Ten: 10 must misunderstood "pervy" anime games

Digitally Downloaded writes: There was one of the semi-frequent Internet blow-ups late last week/ early this week, when a games journalist decided to write a review in which he states that fans of a certain game are perverts and perverse. Naturally that didn't go down so well with aforementioned fans of that game, or games like it, because contrary to popular belief within some circles, liking a game that has bikini girls or even (GASP!) nudity doesn't turn someone into a 'pervert' any more than Call of Duty, or any of the three billion games out there that depict gun death, turn people into mass murderers.

Despite the startling hypocrisy, it does remain a fact that games, particularly those that hail from Japan, are considered to be self-evidently perverse by many journalists, as long as they contain 1) women (or girls) and 2) clothing that doesn't rival the hijab or nun's habit for sheer conservatism. Rarely is context considered, so anything subversive, satirical, or empowering (because in Japanese stories, sexuality is often considered empowering) is still dismissed as exploitative and demeaning.

So, anyway, this week I'm listing ten games that got slammed unfairly for their depiction of sexuality, and I love them all. If you think that makes me a pervert, then take your gun games and GTAs and stay the hell away from me, you mass murdering lunatic.

I just want to enjoy my lewd games :3 (no pun intended).

Chaos_Order2476d ago

Dungeon Travelers 2 is hella pervy, but it's also one of my favourite RPGs ever thanks to its intricate labyrinthine dungeons, excellent battle and levelling systems and thrilling white-knuckle boss battles. The sexy characters and enemies are a bonus. XD

JCW20052476d ago

hooo boy.... here we go... these pervs tryna justify their trash games... ugh

Sonyslave32476d ago

Nothing wrong with pervy game as long as the girls are 18+ and dont look and act as a 3 year old.

JCW20052476d ago (Edited 2476d ago )

most japanese stuff have very underage looking chars even doe they ''18''. some where on that list like hyperdimension, at first glance u think is a kid friendly family game but then u play it and perv scenes show up with very childlike characters in suggestive scenes like wtf. dat supposed to be ok? cmon

TheOttomatic912476d ago (Edited 2476d ago )

They were never misunderstood it's just that the PC culture happened and deemed them to be the devils spawn but thankfully level headed gamers enjoy and play them for what they are just games.

The Senran Kagura game series might get slammed with self-censorship in the future?

I (Robin Ek, TGG) had this creepy sense of deja vu when I heard the story about "Senran Kagura" and its risk of being affected by self-censorship in the future. You see, I've been covering quite a few stories of this kind over the years. So here's my take on this particular case.

TGG_overlord2478d ago

That's what I thought when I heard about this. However, I'm looking into a said statement from Kenichiro Takaki.

Littil_Devil2478d ago

Good, because I want to know the deal. As I have no plans to support the series any further if they inject censorship into Senran Kagura.

Simon_the_sorcerer2478d ago

What did he say? And is everything alright now?

Littil_Devil2478d ago

The devs + publisher would lose a ton of money and fans if they go through with this.

TGG_overlord2478d ago

If they want to kill off their IP, then this is the way to go.

Simon_the_sorcerer2478d ago

Not only that, it might also give other Japanese devs and publishers the idea that we're cool with censorship.

Littil_Devil2478d ago

Why would they even do this? I mean, this makes no sense at all...

TGG_overlord2478d ago

Like I said in the post, it would be like removing the blood, gore, Metal and slaying from "Brutal Doom". Simply put, if you did that, then it wouldn't even be "Brutal Doom" anymore.

Simon_the_sorcerer2478d ago

It was said that they planned to do so in-order to sell more games in the West, and to get higher review scores (some reviewers gave the games a low score because they didn't like the lewd content).

ShaunCameron2478d ago

So they don't get into trouble with the feminists and white knights among our Western media.

GrimDragon2478d ago

The liberal plague continues to swallow the industry inch by inch. The sjw sect led by Anita will not rest until females in games wear burkas, or look like men. When they win and there's nothing more to be done they will move on toward other things more important because they were never gamers in the first place. We will be left with an industry shaken apart by the fear of feminist judgment.

If senran is censored they will most definitely lose money. Perhaps that's what it will take to make Devs realize, trying to appease those who seek proper representation of females in games they don't even play... is not the answer.

Freedoms of expressions are being taken away and subjugated by those who in actuality couldn't care less about the medium they just want to feel empowered by their actions. One perspective should not ever dominate an opposing perspective without solid facts. But even than different views should go mingle with like minded views instead of trying to dominate the entire spectrum with one defining view you feel is the right one. This is how wars have started.

To take a fantasy and claim it's representation has a negative impact on reality therefore it must be obliterated is a totalitarian fascist view in and of itself. To speak of tolerance but wanting to banish certain elements you feel perverts an individuals sense of reality. Is a delusion. Your living a lie feeding off peoples fears and lack of rational thinking.

The censorship in this country is getting completely out of hand. Take a moment to step outside the box and take a good look at those pushing these agendas. Liberalism is a desease. It gave birth to the sjw, radical feminist, white knights, their bible is the book of PC filled with the greatest lies the world has ever been inclined to believe in since the actual bible.

I said it before I'll say it again if no one is willing to stand against this oppression now don't complain later when everything we enjoyed is replaced with G rated material.
Stop by YouTube channel hunter avallone he knows exactly what's going on and isn't afraid to speak truth to the masses. Liberals greatest fear is facts truth is the bane of liberals use it.

TGG_overlord2478d ago

This might become a reality for all of us in the near future if something isn't done:

GrimDragon2478d ago

Wow....that is scary. I can see how the current state of affairs influenced the writer of that manga. Your right that kind of future seems very possible right now.

TGG_overlord2478d ago

@GrimDragon "Wow....that is scary. I can see how the current state of affairs influenced the writer of that manga. Your right that kind of future seems very possible right now."

- Just look at cucked Sweden, France and Canada. That's what awaits the whole Western world if the men don't grow a pair and do something about it. Me, I might just move to USA, Japan or Poland. As I can't stand this bs anymore.

TheOttomatic912478d ago

Never got into this series (not because of the fanservice but because of lacklustre gameplay) but if they do add censorship they would be killing he franchise entirely.

ShaunCameron2476d ago

Pretty much. The fanservice is the IP's main selling point.
