Im gunna open this pandoras box and pry for your opinions. Please, if adult content is offensive to you, or you are just too young, avert your gaze and leave it at that. But I'd really like the opinions of real girl gamers on this very real game.
http://www.gametrailers.com/umwatcher.php?id=12949So, one of my guys I went to college with sent me this link last night. I watched it, and thought "Wow, this looks sexier then DOA", as if this was what doa was meant to be. Then the last half of the video started to play and I was a mixture of disturbed, offended, and slightly aroused!
xd I don't really know exactly where I stand with this sort of game, and the fact that there are 3 of them is completely hillarious and baffling to me. My friend and I did some research and dug up the premise of the game: you take these lovely ladies on dates and try to seduce your way into their barely there bikinis. And then if all goes well you get to... well... have a free hentai show right there on your mac or pc. You can even control the little hand there to touch and caress various parts of the female anatomy.
Offensive? Disgusting? Intreguing? Artistic? What do you think? Personaly as a game developer I think its fascinating they got the gravity on the boobs to be so over the top jiggly and larger then life, but thats code and animation, not moral viewpoints. We also did some digging on how to obtain this game, and its as easy as buying it for 14.99 on ebay. No questions asked.
In short, I guess my own opinion would be that for as long as there have been games, and as long as there have been testosterone driven game makers, there have been games like this. This isnt the first, and wont be the last, but its definately here to stay. I think as a human expression, a game like this makes sense, and is as natural as sex itself. Just... throw in that schoolgirl voyerism fetish aspect. As a female I cant say that I am entirely offended, to the point of anger. Im not saying I want my 9 year old cousin to be playing it, and I think its definately made to be for an adult audience, but If I could, I just might download it to give it a try. I dont think it angers me because it amuses me so much. Having female game characters running around in almost nothing, being used by the player as a toy doesnt bother me so much because its overshadowed by the sheer hilarity of the entire situation. It doesnt offend me as much as lets say a character -like- Lara Croft would. Sexy Beach was made with the purpose in mind to exploit women and sex without hiding it, while games that make every single female character blonde, busty and beautiful for the only purpose of sex factor (and a total lack of character design)- while Im to believe she can also scale Mt. Shasta, flawlessly execute kung fu while taking perfect aim with her bfg, and find the cure for cancer is more of a suspention of disbelief then I can handle. I might be crazy, and have just lost all touch with reality and womens rights, but thats my opinion on it atm.
What would yours be?
Ladies- are you completely offended? Are you interested? Are you indiferent?
Gentlemen- Would you play this game? (And ladies lets not throw stones if they say yes, hell, I would even take it for a test run.) Are -you- offended? Embarassed? Interested?
Opinions, please.
