Five Times Games Went Too Far With "Sexy"

I'll be honest, I've only played #3 & #5 from my list, the rest required research. I had no idea how many games were out that were designed to be overly sexualized or plainly put xrated. My list is of games that were suppose to be a game but with adult theme that just might of gotten carried away.

yes you can.
I didn't think that when I was 16 but over item I totally changed my position on that topic. And I more than doubled that 16 ^^ ... I think you can call me an old gamer now.

cleft52643d ago

I am older than your double 16, you can never go too far sexy wise. As long as we are referring to legal stuff of course, but really that should just be assumed to be so. Games, like every other medium, is an art form that allows content producers to express themselves. What needs to change is people childish outlook on what gaming is and what it can be.

Mr Marvel2642d ago

@Mulando You're probably just gay.

cleft52643d ago

They actually put Bayonetta on this list... thats just sad.

CaptainObvious8782642d ago

It's funny how today's feminists have turned into the evangelical Christians of the 90s, people they'd readily call sexist and misogynistic.

Feminists have no self awareness.

rainslacker2642d ago

I think you can, but in the case of DOA, the sexy is kind of it's thing. Is it distasteful? Maybe, but that's subjective. I have a feeling that most people who brought DOA, the excessive fan service doesn't really turn them away, nor do they really fuss about it that much.

It'd be nice if the media maybe realized that games are made for a target audience, and that not everything is made for them.

I remember buying the first DOA volleyball game at Best Buy when I was 16 I was so afraid they were going to turn me away. I starred at that little rating that said nudity and dreamed of what could be. The cashier gave me a look but sold me the game and I went home with glee. Putting in the disc I giggled with anticipation. A diving naked ass and a clothed stripper dance, now we are talking... then the game starts and NO NUDITY. The manual hints at a secret part of the island so I play for hours and hours trying to find how to unlock a nude beach that doesn't exist. 16 year old me went to bed that night disappointed.
You can never have enough sexy

JROCKNXL2644d ago

I think we all share that same story lol. we would do anything to see a boob lol

rainslacker2642d ago

I've had that with a couple anime titles back in the day when VHS was still not popular. Of course, at least one of them actually showed a lot more than I would have thought possible, so sometimes it worked out. For the most part with games though, there isn't really all that much in terms of over-indulgence in sexual stuff. It's not like watching any given HBO original series where it's mostly pointless outside of maybe one or two scenes.

_-EDMIX-_2643d ago

I have no clue what they mean by "too far"

what is this the 1950s?

FullmetalRoyale2643d ago

In olden days, a glimpse of stocking was looked on as something shocking. But now God knows, anything goes.

TFJWM2642d ago

Damn, guess the disagrees didn't listen to Fallout Radio...

Skid2642d ago

The only game that went too far in their article is 'The Guy Game' and only for the reason that there was a minor in it who was 17 and not 18 or over.

rainslacker2642d ago

I saw some ankle in Crash Bandicoot. I was triggered!!!

Why the hell is sexy content more controversial than violence? Just don't buy it for your kid, nuff said

_-EDMIX-_2643d ago

Absolutely agreed

I also hate when these articles try to pretend as if ESRB doesn't exist.

FlameBaitGod2642d ago (Edited 2642d ago )

Hey man its ok to murder people and decapitate them! but 1 tit ? thats just fking out of line, pretty Nazi if you ask me.

/s

rainslacker2642d ago

I suppose different people have different priorities, and there are those who don't like violence either. But in the end, neither is actually a problem.

TheOttomatic912643d ago

IMO they didn’t go far enough

I could definitely see a Bayonetta/Dante game. Imagine them initially battling each other before eventually teaming up to take on the big baddies. Now, imagine what their child(ren) would be like.

-Foxtrot104d ago (Edited 104d ago )

Bayonetta and Dante I could see but even then with how their lore differs it's a hard sell. For the others...I just can't see it at all.

I feel he's just saying whatever comes to him online

jwillj2k4104d ago

Same universe doesn’t mean same world or galaxy

SeTTriP104d ago

Bayonetta is a witch who enter contracts with demons for power and Dante is a demon, not really hard to connect.

They could even write in an alliance between the umbra witches and sparda.

-Foxtrot104d ago

On the surface yeah but the actual lore the two games have given us if you go into it...not so much.

micdagoat19104d ago

would be great if switch 2 upgrades resolution and frame rate on bayonetta 2

Dying at 61 in Japan is too young.

gold_drake277d ago (Edited 277d ago )

oh shit, i did know that the Major voice actress passed away but i didnt know she voiced bayonetta too

rest in peace

jznrpg277d ago

I saw this on an anime site yesterday. She had an awesome voice. RIP

Chevalier277d ago

Major is definitely one of my all time favourite anime characters so this is really sad

FACTUAL evidence277d ago

Too many greats passed in 2024. Life is never promised. R.I.P

Don't care what anyone says, Smash isn't a traditional fighting game. May as well call Powerstone and Playstation All Stars fighting games. They're more of an arena fighter /party game.

NotoriousWhiz738d ago

You don't have to care what anyone says. It's not a traditional fighting game. But it is a fighting game.

gerbintosh737d ago

Not according to the creator, Sakurai. Link below

CrimsonWing69738d ago (Edited 738d ago )

I mean what makes them an arena fighter than say something like Tekken? Because there’s platforms?

NatsuXTheMaxspeed21738d ago

because theres a bunch of pokeballs and other random stupid stuff on stage that you can use at your advantage and flying ultra super power ball that you got to chase on the stage to get your ougi LMAO.

CrimsonWing69738d ago

@NatsuXTheMaxspeed21

I mean what it sounds like is they took a fighting game and “added” unique mechanics to it to me.

When I think arena game I think of things like Spawn: In the Demon’s Hand or Virtual-On.

Smash to me is a fighting game, they have fighting game tournaments for it. It just doesn’t jive with me to call it “not a fighting game” because you have poke-balls and platforms or because it has 4 players at once duking it out.

Power Stone I’d consider a fighting game as well. Hell, if you google what it is everyone calls these games “fighting games”. So yea, they’re fighting games…

Immagaiden738d ago

What’s next, you gonna say Mario Kart isn’t a racing game?

NatsuXTheMaxspeed21738d ago

oh its a racer but its not a realistic one like GT or Forza. only kids check for mario kart and smash .

Immagaiden737d ago

I didn’t say it was realistic. I said racing game. Does Burnout not being realistic make it not a racing game?

What does a demographic have to do with a genre? Do kids playing CoD make it any less an FPS? You see how ridiculous bringing up that subject is?

repsahj737d ago

"Only kids and kids at heart check for mario kart and smash".

-fixed!

FallenAngel1984737d ago (Edited 737d ago )

Nobody said it was a traditional fighter. Everyone acknowledges it as a platform fighter

PSASBR & Power Stone are fighting games, the former being a platform fighter and the latter an arena fighter

gleepot737d ago

You're correct, it isn't traditional. It's a fighting game though.

repsahj737d ago

Because if cute and lovable characters are fighting it's not a fighting game? XD As long there's a versus fighting, it is a fighting game.

MrNinosan738d ago

Including Smash Bros in a list of fighting games, is like including GTA in Racing games.

NotoriousWhiz738d ago

I hate to break it to you but smash bros has fighting game tournaments so it qualifies.

MrNinosan738d ago

"and here's how it competes against other fighters"

No, Mortal Kombat doesn't compete with games like Smash Bros? It's a different genre for a different audience.

NatsuXTheMaxspeed21738d ago

Anybody can host a tournament in their garage it doesnt mean it qualifies.

NotoriousWhiz738d ago

I'm going to assume you're not part of the FGC. However, I am, and I can tell you that there is a ton of overlap between people who play smash competitively and those who play other fighting games competitively.

Now for casuals, there is a lot less overlap between the two for sure.

PapaBop738d ago

While technically true, Leffen comes to mind, FGC and Smash community have always had a rocky relationship.

Thundercat77738d ago

And yet, If Smash Bros was over 80 million, you wouldn't be complaining. On the contrary, you would be bragging about it.

Immagaiden737d ago

Bad comparison. You do a LOT of things in GTA outside of a car while fighting is what you’re mainly doing in SSB

Ezio2048738d ago

Given the volume of games released, I would say Tekken has sold the best.

lodossrage738d ago (Edited 738d ago )

Yeah, that's a good point. Most of these games have parts to the franchise outside of traditional fighting games.

Like for example, with Mortal Kombat, do Special Forces, Mythologies: Sub: zero, and the Kollection count?

With Tekken does death by degrees or the tag tournament games count?

With Street Fighter, are we counting all the iterations of 2, 3, and 4? how about the ex series or alpha series?

There are a lot of variables at play here

Ezio2048738d ago

Even after including Tekken Tag, they have less titles compared to all MK and SF games.

CS7737d ago

Yeah, i realized that too. Very interesting.
