Seriously though, nothing has been proved - the game isn't even out yet. This is an utter waste of an article.

Still, nice pic.

brish4907d ago

In Dragon Age II every woman had implants and that sold way better than origins ... oh wait.

StraightPath4907d ago

which ds game did you get that had a women similar to the breast size displayed here?

JBaby3434907d ago

Exactly what I was thinking. Hasn't this already been proven time and time again? Still though I do love boobs.

MRMagoo1234907d ago (Edited 4907d ago )

watch that for laughs , i thought it was relevant, make sure to watch it for at least 2 mins before stopping it

tplarkin74906d ago

If sex sold as well is these articles suggest, every game would have half-naked women. The best selling games have few or no women at all. God of War has a strong sexual element, yet doesn't sell as well as CoD, Gears of War, or Halo.

"Sex sells. We all know that. But just how well?"

Very well.

and we all knew that as well.

TopDudeMan4907d ago

Maybe they just like fighting games... With jiggly breast physics.

MidnytRain4907d ago

I just can't help to roll my eyes despite this not being a surprise. I thought we could rise, and NOT be bought with breasts, butts, and thighs. I mean, they're nothing to despise, but this kind of marketing just needs to say its good-byes.

BiggsnWedge4907d ago

In a male dominated market? I don't know I think you're off a little bit.

Soulcalibur 5 will be delisted next week on PS3 and Xbox 360

Soulcalibur official Twitter: "Valiant Warriors - Soul Calibur V is taking its final curtain call on the stage of history and will be sunset on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on June 19, 2023. The base game and all associated DLC will no longer be available for purchase. Thank you for your continued support."

This is why guest characters shouldn't be on the base roster. Im sure Ezio and the whole Assassin's Creed stuff license expired and that is why it is being removed. The same thing is probably going to happen to Soul Calibur 6 in 10 years.

Terry_B732d ago

I doubt a lot of people still played the worst SC game over 10 years after its release on dead consoles.

blackblades732d ago

Right whoever wanted the game would've had it by now. Also physical is usually the better option

gold_drake732d ago

damn.

alot of games have been delisted recently.

Nyxus732d ago

Meanwhile several big games are going digital only. Good omen for the future...

MadLad732d ago

I've been mainly gaming on PC for 12 years now. I don't think there was ever a game that was actually taken away from me.
Even the multiplayer-focused games, with their servers typically being taken down, you can still host your own.

Not sure why People are so against digital. You still need online infrastructure just to update your games or to patch them. You're stuck to online/digital one way or another.

Nyxus732d ago

Most games play just fine without an internet connection. There are also other reason aside from preservation, digital games are often more expensive (at least the one I'm buying) than what you can find through deals in stores. But most of all I just like to be able to actually own the games as physical objects, being able to lend them out etc. And be assured that I can still play them in the future. Sure you can probably emulate them, but I prefer to play on console and I'd rather play an actual copy than an emulation anyway.

I'm not against digital in itself, I just don't want to be forced to go digital because the physical option is taken away. Just give people the option to either get it physically or digitally, that way everyone is happy and it's also the best way to preserve games for the future.

CrimsonWing69732d ago

Make your peace with it. It’s the direction the industry is going in.

XiNatsuDragnel732d ago

Well industry is pretty much dead in that case.

lucian229732d ago

Can we please get soul cal 7 a year after tekken 8?

darthv72732d ago

Good thing I have both on disc.

"Let Me Solo Her" Receives A Special Award From Namco Bandai For His 1000th Victory Against Malenia

Immersed Gamer writes: "Let Me Solo Her is a legendary Elden Ring player who mastered one of the most infamous bosses to help his fellow tarnished via co-op. And for his service, he received an award from Namco Bandai to commemorate his 1,000th victory. The reward in question is a real, and extremely dope, custom-made sword.

Malenia is regarded as the hardest boss in Elden Ring, and the relentless Tarnished has defended literally thousands of hosts against this malice. Let Me Solo Her apparently passed 2,000 Malenia kills a while back, but it’s hard to measure the exact count he is at now. Bandai Namco sent the gift his way when he was at around 1,000 kills. But due to the nature of the object, it got stuck in customs for a while!"
