Support NeoGAF

[Mabufu]

I just cant stand it anymore. Everytime I see images or trailers of the game I feel the deepest of shames.

I feel the urge of hitting his devs on their faces and yell at them "what the hell do you think you are doing?"

I know it's a japanese game, made for japanese people, it's japanese culture and it have its market there, but outside Japan... I think that this game should be considered a sexist abomination, and every gamer with a minimum of social matturity should be angry at how this game treats girls.

The game might just be softcore porn and I would be fine with that. But that's not the case.

The game, just as japanese moe and fanservice garbage, presents the girls as stupid, brainless humanoid objects, only created to fit an stupid cliché and try to make the guys wet dreams real.

It saddens me that there's a serious game where the main focus is insulting people's intelligence with such surreal just-for-japanese clichés bullshit.

The, I see all the people saying how great the game looks, and I am all like, how can they like this abomination?

Needed to spit this fire out, sorry.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

It's a silly game that I fail to understand, but I have no reason to feel ashamed of it.

 

[Eolz]

You will be ashamed of your words and deeds.

Edit: it's gravure.

 

[Transistor]

It's a game that broadcasts exactly what it is and doesn't hide anything. I honestly have more problems with games that try to tell legitimate stories and shove fanservice in there (e.g. MGS5)

 

[EvilKatarn]

If you'd read the threads you'd see you have plenty of like-minded friends.

But it is the case

 

[Hexa]

I am ashamed that people are ashamed of DoAX.

 

[PtM]

Getting rid of such games doesn't make the collective wanking in other (fighting game) threads go away.

 

[Palculator]

I feel the urge of hitting his devs on their faces and yell at them "what the hell do you think you are doing?"

Calm down.

 

[Shuggananas]

Imo it's as bad if not worse than quiet. At least it's honest about what it is.
But if people can't get boners from anything else then whatever I guess

You should have the maturity to respect other people's beliefs and interests.

 

[SliceSabre]

Tits and ass fanservice games have just as much right to exist as any other game. Being ashamed that a certain kind of game even exists is a mark of personal immaturity.

 

[YianGaruga]

Waiting for YianGaruga's bingo card

I have a bingo card?

 

[Triggerhappytel]

I think it's pretty puerile but it's not a game which interests me and I don't have much opinion on it one way or the other.

 

[Hasney]

Totally. Everyone's talking about this titillating little game, meanwhile Hentai Fucker V, which shows everything compared to this little tease shit, gets no threads. I'm fucking ashamed of the attention it's getting.

They're videogame characters. It's literally what they are.
Stupid, humanoid objects created for certain purposes, in this case the purpose beeing sexual pleasure.

And i don't see anything wrong with that tbqh.

*looks at tag*

 

[lazygecko]

You're not the target audience, and that's okay.

Now, what I didfeel ashamed over was way, way back when the original DOAXBV was released, and the gaming magazine I subscribed to came with a bunch of terribly tacky pinup cards of all the girls. Made me cringe so hard. The magazine had to issue a public apology after that, and said that it was Microsoft's marketing who snuck them in there behind their backs right before the printing and distribution process.

 

[PillarEN]

Why though? In every medium you can find similar things and it doesn't somehow make those mediums less worthwhile.

 

[Isurus]

Prepare to be a lot more ashamed when/if VR takes off

 

[giancarlo123x]

I find it creepy. I tend to just stay away from all the threads because of people's comments.

 

[thequickandthedead]

I have a bingo card?

Well I assumed it was made by you. A bingo card full of typical posts in a DoAX thread.

 

[Hyun Sai]

I'm ashamed of your lack of understanding of the large range of human interests.

 

[Pie and Beans]

Porn doesn't discredit movies and TV series, nor does smutty fiction discredit all books and so on.

Get over it.

 

[AllGamer]

I think that this game should be considered a sexist abomination, and every gamer with a minimum of social matturity should be angry at how this game treats girls.

Sure...

I don't care about the game and I am sure as hell not gonna be angry at it.

 

[SliceSabre]

Some people don't get this. Are movies, TV and books less worthwhile because porno exists in each of them?

 

[Langdon Alger]

Why would you be ashamed of something that you weren't in any way involved in creating?

 

[Crayolan]

Are you also ashamed of DOAX 1 and 2? Or every other porn game that exists?

 

[BubblegumCrisis]

be ashamed of your own deeds and actions, not others.

From someone whom mentions maturity, you should grow the fuck up.

 

[DryvBy]

I'm not. I like volleyball.

 

[El Pescado]

This. This is exactly it.

People can look at this game and it's like it is what it is. People hear about MGSV and how it's the epitome of storytelling in video games or whatever hyperbole they throw at it and they see Quiet.

 

[Messofanego]

Is it part of a culture?

 

[Maedhros]

Yeah, only you.

Maybe you should stop taking fucking videogames so seriously.

 

[Marvel]

It pleases me.

 

[Professor Lich]

I'm ashamed of myself for not having the guts to buy the game!

Spoiler

I also don't have a PS4.

 

[Ratrat]

No. But that is the most obnoxious op I've read.

 

[GhostBed]

Lol, come on. You're taking this way too seriously. It's just another fan service game.

 

[Ferr986]

I don't like it, and I don't because I actually like DoA as a fighting game. So seeing the girls being even more pandered, acting stupid even if they're ninjas, etc... Kind of bothers me.

Still, I don't care much about its existence. If people like the game, good for them. No need to be outraged. I dont see why someone that doesnt care about these characters should be outraged. You see shit like this everyday on other media (tv, music clips..)

Clearly you never heard of Senran Kagura.

 

[AstuteClass]

No. But that is the most obnoxious op I've read.

lol this.

What white knight holier than thou drivel.

 

[bobbytkc]

Get over it. The world cares less about it than you think.

 

[Trickster]

But games where we murder and destroy stuff are fine, right?

 

[YianGaruga]

Clearly you never heard of Senran Kagura.

To be fair to SK, the game has infinitely deeper characters than what you get in DOAX3

 

[mrklaw]

I have more of an issue with the sexualisation of Dead or Alive than I do of Xtreme.

(I don't have an issue with either but at least xtreme is up front about it.)

 

[maxcriden]

Right to exist does not equate with harmless, though. Objectification reinforces hegemonic institutionalized sexism.

 

[E_Darkness]

I've got OP's birthday present sorted.

 

[Yarbskoo]

The fact that it makes other people uncomfortable just makes it all the more appealing.

 

[RoboPlato]

Since the game so clearly and brazenly advertises what it's about, it actually bothers me less than other Japanese games that force in out of context fanservice moments. I think it's a stupid game but at least it's honest.

 

[Infernal Monkey]

I feel the urge of hitting his devs on their faces and yell at them

What. Seek help.
