Fans requested bigger breasts in Dead or Alive 5

[Phallic Wonderland]

I honestly don't see what the big deal is. Both male and female characters are obscenely over sexualized. I personally don't care, in fact the bigger they are the more noticeable the over-bounce effect is. x3 Funny as s**t.

[Pseudo-Onkelos]

Who cares? It's a bad game anyway.

@ the girl above me who says she's a gamer and is offended by DOA

LOL lol

Next time, quote me if you want me to know you exist, kay?

Also, I'm not offended by Dead or Alive, just how their fans require the female characters to be over-sexualized in order to play the game. It's s**t like this that's making me worried about the gaming community in total.

I think you got that backwards, Since overt-sexyness is one of the things that sells games wouldn't a drop in sexy stuff cause a drop in sales and thus hurt the gaming community more? I mean since women are generally a much smaller demographic why should games clearly not geared toward women be switched up to better appeal to them?

Shouldn't the story, controls, and overall gameplay sell a game? If you need to rely on sex to sell, that should be a red flag that your game isn't very good.

Here's something, why target or favor one gender over the other? There's plenty people of both sexes in the gaming community. If more games were gender neutral, that alone would boost sales.

I don't see a problem with bigger boobs on video game characters. I love big boobs.

Recent reports show that 42% of online gamers are female. So it is not a "much smaller demographic."

How can anyone at Team Ninja be shocked at the response they got? the only reason poeple buy the DOA games is because of the goofy chest physics. it's not like this series is based on being the most complete fighter to date. That's what Virtua Fighter is supposed to be.

DOA is Tekken, without the quality character designs or interesting backstory for the characters.

anyone remember that "pixel shaded bump mapping" commercial? DOA fans aren't shy about why they play the game.

[Alice Allusion]

It's a video game, I have no issue with it. I find it rather funny at times at how big the chest or muscels can be.

Well that may be an effective sales strategy for la-la land, but in reality and in Japan, people don't buy games based off gender equality. I know I never played DOA cause i was looking for strong female characterisation. I was looking for some bounce. Also this is asia we're talking about. I can't see why a foreign company should break tradition to market to a small american demographic. This is the company that brought us DOA: Extreme Beach Volleyball. Clearly they're not making these for women.

No, I'm pretty sure you don't need to sell sex to sell your product. As I've said, gameplay alone should be the golden ticket. I could give you plenty of examples of games that have not relyed on sex to sell them.

Well, that says alot about you, doesn't it? Plus, don't you have porn for that sort of thing? Or, what about a game that's based on sex alone, like hentai?

As I and someone else has pointed out, the female gamer community is not as small as you think it is. We make up slightly less than half of the community. Why would you not want to target that half as well as the other, and not make as much money?

Slightly off-topic, I'm just really ******** tired of seeing women marketed off in games as bouncy ******** or trophies to be won. We deserve better roles in games. I honestly think it would reduce sexism and discrimination if we were seen in a better light. Is that so hard to ask for?
