Dead or Alive: Sexist?

[King_Arthur]

Yes, I think it is. There's not enough KA for me. All those women and no KA. Very very very disappointing.

Seriously, I find nothing wrong with it, as long as there is porn on the internet, in books, even in games, there's nothing wrong with a little boobie bouncing. Hell, have you seen Tidus in FFX ? Alot of gay guys probably wanted to wring his neck !

Girls in fighting games always look like a bunch of fake-assed sluts anyway. Just look at Soul Calibur : every girl that's not underage wears an overly sexy dress, even if it's very unnecessary. How the crap can Ivy fight in that suit without catching colds? How the crap can Taki still be a stealthy ninja with such back problems? The only fighting game I've seen an ugly girl in was Onimusha, the one that was a complete rip-off of Super Smash Bros. Melee. There was that ugly and fat lady, and she was really meant to be ugly as hell. Basically, game developpers just can't seem to make ordinary girls : they want them sexy to the extreme, because everyone likes sexy girls. DoA is not an exception, it's the rule.

Don't forget Mortal Kombat 3. The 4-Armed girl; was it Sheeva?

Don't bash your wife that way, GT.

In my opinion dead or alive is Dead, it's been focusing to much on the female characters and as a fighting game it doesnt bring nothing new, the game is pure eye candy...but other than that it has fallen to be consider a generic fighting game, the first 2 games were ok but not great...

So what you're saying is that since it doesn't bring nothing new it brings something new? That means the series is alive and you contradicted yourself...

No, it's just a paradox that way.

To continue on this subject, I just watched the DOA episode of Game Makers/Icons on G4, and Itagaki (found of the series to those who don't know) talked about the "nude hacks" in Extreme Beach Volleyball. He said that those who are responsible are using their talent on something wasteful, and that those who are succsesful in making the girls naked should be embaressed. Dosen't that say something?
