Has anyone ever heard the term "sex kitten"?

Women try their hardest to look like cats....eyeliner, lip liner, lipstick, big chest, small waist, bigger hips, smaller ankles, long nails, high heels etc. This has been going on since ancient egypt (also witches) and prior to that w/ Mesopetamia. Catwomen is a symbol and one done perfectly if you ask me.....

I don't hear people screaming sexism in movies. The average gamer age is 37. Mature games sell. I grew up with gaming and want something more geared towards my age not to say I can't enjoy games of all ages. The only controversy is the one this site is making up. Come on n4g let's have some quality articles. Not question mark articles for hits. The NY times doesn't have a whole newspaper dedicated to question mark articles. They do interviews with actual people instead of making up stuff. These sites have no creativity, contacts with developers, or any inside information.

I dont mind catwomen being provocative and sexy
because thats the whole character and her relationship
with batman was always like that but i thought
the costume she wore was realy dumb.
Just stupid massive tits and cleavage i thought it
looked realy stupid and tbh i would of found her character
to be alot more sexy if she was zipped up and not shoving them in my face.

While I hated her inclusion the word sexist never crossed my mind. Slutty did but never sexy however that's just how Catwoman is and always has been. Ertha Kit was never deemed sexist to my knowledge and she was never seen in anything aside from that tight leather catsuit.

My main gripe with Catwoman's inclusion is that she didn't tie into the story mode at all. She was just there while it was happening and I would have much rather had Robin tie into the story to advance it instead of just some random Two Face encounter while Batman's doing something productive.

She's supposed to be sexy...

The Arkham games are largely excellent, a shame they are being followed up by that god awful looking suicide squad game.

RaidenBlack570d ago

All 4 Arkham games are just amazing...
With the Gotham Knights turning out sub par, hope the Suicide Squad fails as well... So that both Rocksteady and WB Montreal goes back to creating good single player DC games ...
A batman beyond game maybe?

anal_vegan_moans569d ago

Having the game fail would make it harder for them to get funding for their next game, please don't wish this on them. They already delayed the game a whole year after backlash, so we still have to wait and see how it will turn out.

GhostScholar569d ago

I think asylum and origins were great. City was good. Knight was horrible.

You can't expect a game to match 96-94 meta apple for apple. Different era and different gen. No need to diminish either game's achievement. Arkham City and Spiderman 2 are both amazing sequels that improved upon their already incredible first parts.

Tacoboto570d ago

To back that up, there are major websites that adjusted their review scales.

IGN used to have a 100 point system; now it's a 10 point system. I remember GameSpot back in 2004 was razed for giving Halo 2 a 9.4 when IGN gave it like a 9.7 or 9.8

darthv72570d ago

Arkham Asylum was great, but when City came out... wow what a total overhaul that was. Nothing has had that type of night/day difference in scope and scale since.

SM2 is looking to be a great game in itself. Definitely an upgrade over the previous entries. Just from the opening battle with sandman, it gives me god of war 2 vibes with how that one opened with the battle with colossus of rhodes. That is still one of my favorite sequels of all time.

Zeke68570d ago

Thanks for the spoiler how the game starts loser...

darthv72569d ago

Zeke... you've had plenty of time to play god of war 2.

GaboonViper570d ago

And right on cue, here comes the downplaying of Insomniacs masterpiece, not gonna work, this game is gonna be beast in success.

BehindTheRows570d ago

From the same folks who gave it a 10/10 no less.

Aloymetal570d ago

I got 80% trophy completion on Ragnarok but left a few of the battles. Will come back to it one day.

Miraak82 677d ago

Dragon Quest 11 is my top pick

RpgSama677d ago

Dragon Quest XI was such an AMAZING game, I had a blast from the very beginning all the way to the very end, it actually got better the more you played, full of surprises as well.

Another game that I enjoyed from the very beginning all the way to the end of the 100% completion was Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Really, really, really fun game with a great heartfelt story.

badz149677d ago (Edited 677d ago )

Where is Horizon Zero Dawn?? where is Ghost of Tsushima?? I just got my Platinum on HZD and is now trying to finish the Frozen Wild expansion. so much care and love went into that game and it really shows. I especially adore the lore and have sunk many hours listening to the logs and reading journals. the back story is great and the gameplay is awesome. can't wait to replay on the hardest difficulty on NG+. next in my list would be to finish GoTsushima

Tacoboto677d ago

Ghost was fantastic especially after Iki Island and the PS5 upgrade. 100%'d that, Horizon Forbidden West (not ZD), GoW (not yet Ragnarok), Spider-Man, and R&C: Rift Apart.

Each one absolutely worth it.

Aloymetal677d ago (Edited 677d ago )

100% I would like to add to you list RDR2, amazing as well and the perks from getting the Legend Of The East outfit is awesome.
Sekiro as well, have to play twice to get it but it's worth it!

Demetrius677d ago

I agree I'm on my 2nd playthroughs of both horizon forbidden West(zero dawn I played also) ghost of Tsushima except I'm replaying it on PS5 this time, the iki island expansion is amazing

ClayRules2012677d ago

Yeah, GoT was already an AMAZING game on PS4, but playing it on PS5, along with that expansion, just even better.

Elda677d ago

I just started my copy of GOW:R, enjoying it so far.

DefenderOfDoom2677d ago (Edited 677d ago )

Okay the title of article should be top 10 , 3rd person games to complete 100 percent. Nine 3rd person games and 1 racing game on this list .
