Bioshock games sell because Kevine Levine is a genius. The worlds are amazing and the story is incredible. Elizabeth's boobs aren't the seeling point. It's like that of any outfit in that time period. Can a pretty girl not get targeted?

Tonester9254637d ago

How many boob articles are they going to have on here!?

PixL4637d ago

I don't mind boob articles if they attach boobs to them. I wonder how many E3 precogs do we have to handle. It's another 5 months to go and they just keep coming.

BiggsnWedge4637d ago

Ah I guess IGN needed to get on the boob train

tplarkin74637d ago

It's not a cheap marketing tactic, it's the reality of what men like. Men like pretty women, not ugly ones.

Gazondaily4637d ago

That is true (although not all gamers are men).

I find it funny that IGN comments on such an issue yet they, as a gaming site, have Babeology and other such erection inducing material on their site.

Off-topic: What happened to Samurai Jack?! That was one of the best cartoons ever! I guess Aku won in the end :(

undercovrr4637d ago

I don't know, I think Samurai Jack finally got tired of facing AKU over and over again. Man probably wanted to settle down with a family and a son to teach samurai to.

boobs are way over-rated, i dont mean that they're not awesome, i mean people make way to big of a deal about them in games, who cares if their big or small, does it really effect your game that much?????

Since when did anything with women showing boobs = misogyny? It looks like some people have no idea what the word means.

Even if they do crack down all a person needs is an Everdrive and a regular old school machine. Or modify a disc based console that has a dead laser to boot off an SD card. Some of those illegal devices look neat and some of them are just plain crap.

This won't stop it unless you have a great service.

What a stupid thing to be wasting time, money and effort. Aren't these guys literally drowning right now? Maybe y'all should focus more on that instead trying to stop people from playing old games no longer being sold.

Inverno5d ago

Pretty sure I've read and seen parts of Italy experiences/ing pretty bad floodings. Id argue that's more important than trying to prevent the sale of emulation devices.
