The problem with me is that rather than try to be sexy, most games end up being slutty like DOA

0mega44994d ago (Edited 4994d ago )

but i also like my virtual women to be busty and beautiful

@CaptainHavok
you must be a prude cause GOW Aphrodite was one sexy bisexual woman

AAACE54994d ago

There are ways to make a game sexy, it's just that developers haven't figured out how to do it yet! One problem is that they try to make characters seem like some mythical goddess, when they should just keep it simple and make a character we can all relate to.

Lara Croft is a joke in my book! When the first game came out, she did a few things that gamers liked... primarily crawling on all fours. They changed that! With the advances in graphical power, I thought they would have fixed her face to look more like a normal person, but she still looks like an alien! It just shocks me that they haven't realized that not updating the character and gameplay are hurting the game.

DOA tried to get in tune with everyone's sexual side. The girls were meant to fit pretty much everyone's fetish. Even the DOA extreme game was meant to do the same, where if you listen to the stuff they say, it can be translated to something sexual. For instance, one of the girls says, "Easy now, not too fast!" If you don't get that one, you must be a virgin! On the other side, the guys are suppose to be the type of guys that women want... I guess!

Anyway, hopefully one day they will figure it out! I am sick of games that screw themselves up trying to throw in sexiness while the rest of the game suffers!

"Digital double-D's in video games? Just not doing it like the real things" Thus, 3D gaming is born.

BeardedGamerShow4995d ago

Agreed, God of War is filled with boobs, none of them sexy.

NnT32914994d ago

Aphrodite is pretty hot imo Xd

Nerox34994d ago

god of war doesnt try to attract gamers by trying to make the game sexy
the game is already awesome...its just an feature
whereas bayonetta is cheaply trying to satisfy idiots who buy the game....
but at least aphrodite was hot :P

Not to mention that some video game chicks make for some good cosplay

But I know what he means. Most of the time, the sexiness is fail. The thing is, it's not like that in every video game. Some devs get it right, like Naughty Dog with Chloe.

BeardedGamerShow4995d ago

Cosplay is different, those are real, sexy women.

Shoko4995d ago

Based off of video game characters......

Tachyon_Nova4994d ago

@ Shoko - Yeah, but the point the author is making still stands, that videogames just cannot emulate what the real thing can do.

kthsdlr4995d ago

Outfits can be sexy. Polygons? Eh.

Rubang4995d ago

You better not be talking shit about the Dark Queen from Battletoads. Otherwise, I agree. And what's with the random Scott Pilgrim-bashing?

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.

NotoriousWhiz340d ago

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

Not according to the creator, Sakurai. Link below

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

NatsuXTheMaxspeed21340d 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.

CrimsonWing69340d 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…

Immagaiden340d ago

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

NatsuXTheMaxspeed21340d ago

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

Immagaiden340d 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?

repsahj339d ago

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

-fixed!

FallenAngel1984340d ago (Edited 340d 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

gleepot339d ago

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

repsahj339d 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.

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

NotoriousWhiz340d ago

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

MrNinosan340d 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.

NatsuXTheMaxspeed21340d ago

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

NotoriousWhiz340d 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.

PapaBop340d ago

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

Thundercat77340d ago

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

Immagaiden340d 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

Ezio2048340d ago

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

lodossrage340d ago (Edited 340d 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

Ezio2048340d ago

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

CS7339d ago

Yeah, i realized that too. Very interesting.
