@bobbypaycheque I totally agree. I go to the gym and I run around the park and I see girls who wear shorts with tank tops or sports bras all the time. It doesn't bother them why should it bother anyone else and why do people think they have the right to dictate how a woman should look or dress. Women come in all shapes in sizes. To me sexualisation comes from the way you behave not the way you look. Don't judge a book by the cover.
Well this talking point is pretty something (don't want to use mean words). A top that doesn't even show cleavage and shorts that aren't even short shorts are considered oversexualized? This is pretty tame compared to the average outfits sexy female characters wear in most videogames. This author makes it sound like Sakurai used Other M Samus and this alternate costume just to sell us on her sexy body, which makes me wonder how much the author knows about Smash and Sakurai. Sakurai tends to use the same design from a character's most recent game and he added this alternate outfit because it's the old school outfit samus wore and well Smash is a celebration of Nintendo and its history. I forgot we live in a world where being sexy and strong is a no-no.
Read somewhere that this show is supposed to be similar to Gotham and Gotham already sounds like a terrible idea. Yeah follow a side character no one cares that much about, it's all good as long as the main heroes we all know and love make small cameos and play no role in the story whatsoever.
OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG Pikachu stuff!!! Have I died and gone to heaven, but then they realized it was the wrong guy so they put me back and then I went to work to read an article on NL that I can finally buy all the Pikachu swag I want O_o
@SamirMalik I guess I'm comparing Bayonetta to other games like God of War and No More Heroes. I'm not saying that Bayonetta isn't violent but it still has ways to go to reach certain other games that are out there.
@SamirMalik Yeah but you don't see what's going on inside the mummy chamber as opposed to actually slicing up your opponent and seeing every bit of graphic detail.
@LUIGITORNADO My biggest issue is that I actually mix up the buttons because I also play Xbox and well the buttons are flipped, oddly enough I had no issue with the playstation controller guess it's because the buttons are represented with shapes. I'm so getting this game!!!
@SockoMario Actually it's a good beat 'em up the story's pretty good too and it's told in novel format. That's the reason I like this game. I don't care for the fanservice but I can look past it, especially because it's pretty light compared to some of the creepier things I've seen out there O_O
@Markshark IDK what you're raving on about, how is this porn? There's no sex, no nudity, and the most skin you'll see out of these girls is when they wear their swimsuit. If bouncing boobs + panty shots = porn, you sir are seriously repressed XD
Also when compared to the average japanese anime girls used for this kind of stuff these girls are actually on the older side, 2 of them are actually 18. The 2 shown on the trailer are actually 17. (compared to the usual 14-13 yr old who's overly developed)
Bayonetta 2 first day purchase, my most anticipated title since it was announced only Smash comes close 2nd. Already played the first game but these Nintendo costumes will have me coming back (luckily it's one of those games you can play multiple times).
Senran Kagura image with this title IDK why but it made me LOL. Child abuse is bad though not laughing at that. Also I feel like another game would have fit this better I mean the SKB girls are on the older side compared to the usual anime girls used for this kind of material (I mean 2 of those girls are actually 18 and boy was I surprised about that one).
Japan's version of Americans. I can't wait to see it. They probably think Americans consider Abraham Lincoln the closest thing to God LMAO. In all seriousness though it sounds cool let's just hope it is, not too worried though it is intelligent systems.
Hoping the battle system is a lot better, while I did like the first one I think the only reason I was able to not get too bored with the gameplay was the fact that the game was really short. Battles were the boring part but I liked the environments they really captured the whole Halloween look down, it really felt authentic. Also I got spoiled by child of light. I expect a lot more from RPGs now (which is why the Stick of Truth let me down).

Re: Somebody At Ubisoft Really Doesn't Like Mario Kart 8's Mercedes-Benz DLC
Someone's getting fired. Also why the DLC hate it's just more cars that you don't have to use and you got for free. First world problems indeed.

Re: Bayonetta Wii U Director Shows More of What Those Nintendo Costumes Do
