im more worried that the fairys face seems to indicate that shes a bit special, and has no nose.

That's just Yoshida's artstyle. FFT had no noses either.

 

[Amalthea]

Whoa baby.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

No, never.

 

[balohna]

I don't beat it to games, but I enjoy seeing nice looking girls if they're artfully created. It was probably a motivating factor in my playing Skullgirls. Also piqued my interest in Nier Automata.

 

[Choomp]

I bought Beyond Two Souls because Ellen Page is the cutiest

 

[Morrigan Stark]

You're more worried about that than the sexualization and fetishizing of underage, at times even prepubescent-looking girls? Um, k.

 

[atr0cious]

Bought the game before recognising that link is super attractive in BotW, especially shirtless and climbing gear with the arm bands. Just got the desert voe outfit, phew.

 

[Oblivion]

Nope. Never.

While I am definitely a fan of aesthetically pleasing characters, I have never been swayed to purchase a game that I otherwise wouldn't have simply for that reason.

However, I think everyone agrees that attractive characters are better than ugly characters.

 

[Neolombax]

No...i have...other sources...for hot girls...*ehem*

 

[Deleted member 325805]

No, but if I'm playing a game where I can make my character look hot I will, MMOs for example.

 

[Jolkien]

Never.

 

[anddo0]

I'll watch a tv show/movie because of a hot female cast.
Purchase a game? Hell no.

Spoiler

I platinumed DOAX3, but that's because it's an amazing volleyball game.

 

[quesalupa]

The reason I downloaded the WET demo. Never got around to actually buying it though.

 

[TheRedSnifit]

You're more worried about that than the sexualization and fetishizing of underage, at times even prepubescent-looking girls? Um, k.

Well, yeah. Can you imagine sneezing without a nose? She probably struggles to breathe while eating as well, and whenever she sleeps runs the risk of asphyxiating.

Every moment of her life is a nightmare.

 

[Crazy Diamond]

Yes. I bought MGSV for Quiet. I saw her design and thought it looked very cool.

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

I got Knights of Xentar when I was young. I'm not proud of it.

Spoiler

I was fortunately too young to send away for access to the nudie content.

 

[lvl99 Pixel]

You're more worried about that than the sexualization and fetishizing of underage, at times even prepubescent-looking girls? Um, k.

well yeah, im not sure what age shes supposed to be? thats like a womans body with a derped out childs face, so im not entirely sure what im looking at.
its not really worth being offended by

which "prepubescent girls" are being advertised in games here?

 

[GamingPheasant]

A long time ago. Guardian Legend.

Loved the cover art, too.

 

[IISANDERII]

Yes

And look closely at the far right screen shot

 

[nekkid]

Pointy-boobs Lara Croft, when I was about 13.

 

[theangrypirate]

Of course I have. Most I regretted almost immediately, some turned out to be great games. Tomb Raider was probably the first one. Dead or Alive 2 I bought soley because of the sexy ladies but really enjoyed the game. Fear Factor got pretty old real fast. Onechanbara was like one of the worst games I have ever played and I felt like a total douche for buying it about 10 minutes into playing it. Bullet Witch kept me interested for a while though and never made me feel bad. I've grown out of my teens and early twenties though so It takes a bit more for me to buy a game now than just sexy characters but an attractive lead will definitely pique my interest.

 

[AmaterasuOkami076]

I own over 1000 games in total. I've bought games because I like the composer/OST, voice actors/actresses etc but never because a character was attractive. If you bought a game based on that alone it'd be a small miracle if you actually really enjoyed the game.

 

[Isotropy]

I got into Saint's Row IV purely because you can create your character (ie a hot one) to an insanely customisable degree.

And then subsequently lost all interest in that game they're making this gen as it's premade characters only. Pfft.

 

[Dinjooh]

There's a game with Dennis in it?!

 

[Hoya Destroyer]

Of course I do, OP.
DoA, SFV, Overwatch (only for Widow), Age of Barbarian etc.
Games feel too stale without any sex appeal. 2B is the only reason I'll be playing Nier 2 at some point in the future.

 

[Kenstar]

psssshhhhhhhh I only watch movies because of hot people, NEVER play games because of it




pssssssshhhhhhh

 

[ActWan]

Nah, I don't care bout games with ugly ass chars

 

[Chmpocalypse]

Nope. Never.

While I am definitely a fan of aesthetically pleasing characters, I have never been swayed to purchase a game that I otherwise wouldn't have simply for that reason.

However, I think everyone agrees that attractive characters are better than ugly characters.

But what if the characters were wearing yoga pants

 

[Mephala]

Of course I do, OP.
DoA, SFV, Overwatch (only for Widow), Age of Barbarian.

I don't know. There are a lot of other ways to keep gaming fresh. So many genres, stories, gameplay mechanics, colourful personalities. Sex appeal is pretty low on my list if I feel gaming is getting stale for me.

 

[DeviatePanda]

I've never been sold entirely by a single character, but it did convince me who would be my. . .mein in Overwatch before I even bought it.

 

[Paracelsus]

The opposite, both for men and women. I never dealt with Oblivion until they fixed the default butt-ugly characters with mods.

 

[Aim_Ed]

I bought NBA 2K17 for Doris Burke.

 

[Elitist1945]

I mean, I was gonna get it regardless, but having Jordan Fisher in Until Dawn was a treat.

 

[dreamlongdead]

No, and that probably won't ever happen.

 

[Pantz]

FFXV for Luna...

This was one of my first

Probably half my games I buy for this reason.

 

[Elfforkusu]

Not on its own, but I do think attractiveness or coolness of the playable character(s) is something that influences whether I give games a shot.

Vaguely plausible example: if Nier Automata has that dude from Scalebound as the main character instead of 2B, do I even download the demo? I suspect not.

 

[Alcotholic]

Catherine is a good example, I suppose.

 

[shmoglish]

Not that I know.... I own one of the Onechenbara games, but it was cheap as fuck, I like slashing Zombies and I am also interested in swimming clothes made of fruits.

 

[MegamanPoweredUP]

loughed hard at this thread.

No, I haven't. I had the biggest crush on DoA 2 girls but that was after unlocking the photo gallery, not before.

 

[Moppeh]

Nope.

If I am going to buy something for eye candy, the eye candy should at least be an actual person and not a bunch of polygons.

 

[petran79]

im more worried that the fairys face seems to indicate that shes a bit special, and has no nose.

At least she has clothes
Stormlord had naked ones

 

[TheRedSnifit]

Nope.

You have the same chance of sleeping with them either way.

 

[GrizzNKev]

No, but if there's a character creator I'll always try to play as the most attractive female I can manage because why not

 

[Atomski]

You have the same chance of sleeping with them either way.

beat me to it..

 

[Alter_Fridge]

If you didn't think She-Ra was sexy as hell when you were 6 years old, y'all don't have genitals

Even found time to wear eye-shadow along with battling the forces of evil lolololol

 

[kuroshiki]

I bought KOF and Soul calibur because of female characters.

and I don't even play fighting game.

 

[Puruzi]

You have the same chance of sleeping with them either way.

bodied

 

[OniBaka]

Sure did, got first devil may cry game on release cause dante was sexy.

 

[xrnzaaas]

No, but there are few exceptions with games having characters looking like real actors. Like for instance Until Dawn having virtual Hayden Panettiere helped me in making a decision to buy the game.

 

[GKSilKamina]

Kind of? I'll buy dumb anime games if they have cute pink haired girls in them.

Looking at you, Ray Gigant.
