Formal logic: In commercial games, developer time is not infinite. Adding more time towards perversion results in less time for the actual artwork.

Laws of supply and demand: Game publishers and project leads wouldn't be pushing for more of this filth if there wouldn't be a demand for it.

I don't know if Blake is part of this demand, the "" in my post is exactly as serious as the ""s in his.

so the answer is, "No" you don't have any evidence to support your claims.

Thanks! That's all I was asking.

btw, this may be better if you all move your discussion over to the O.T., if it keeps being of this nature Over here we discuss 'games', not 'logic'...

But... but... the +1's!

(I'm really useless at making +1 posts )
Okay. Lets think about this.

Have I ever been motivated to buy a game by the boobies? Nope. Have I ever been turned off from buying a game by boobies? Nope. Do I enjoy the presence of the boobies in a game? Sure! But then again I like lots of things, for example when I created a male human paladin and ran around snowy places naked prattling "The light will protect me from the cold!" and "The light will protect me from GM's!" come on - running around naked is role playing! I completely lost my point, I'll wander off and find it now.

This looks like a job for Cyclotron repetitive one-liners

Not me

What the? Is NWN suddenly a tacky romance novel for boys who don't to look up porn?

No

NWN--the single player version--sucked, storyline wise. That's pretty obvious,

True

and it was a mistake for me to buy it.

Absolutely not

You know what? It didn't have boobs. There were no D-cups to ogle.

Too bad

Its characters were badly made caricatures of caricatures.

Oh, so then it's like every single RTS game ever

And, of course, there were boobs. Jaina, the 'heroine', wore what was practically a bikini top. Did it add anything to the game?

Sure

Did Night elves wearing bikinis add anything?

Debatable

And of course, now there's Starcraft: Ghost. It seems that every female character must be the reincarnation of Pamela Anderson in order to appear in a game nowadays.

And this irritates you... why?

[lord of the mark]

ive been playing Europa Universalis 2, and ive noticed no such thing.

[Lemmy]

Darn, i was expecting to see more "evidence" of this new trend

[Atragon]

Ask and ye shall recieve...

Well i do like boobs so a for boobs from me. Oh wait this is about "games" is it

Ah well in that case i will add i'd prefer complete nudity in my games to all the graphic and detailed pixel violence we subject our future adults too.

So MORE T+A in games

LESS sensless brain numbing graphic violence please.

[:) Smiley]

I'd be pretty surprised if no one else has noticed the tendency of newer games to include large boobs in their games.

This is a new trend?

[Spiffor]

I too dislike the fact that most female characters are all shaped the same. As a result, I dislike playing as a female character, because it hinders the feeling of role-playing.

Huge-chested female characters are charicatures. And charicatures are poor characters. IMO, it's a negative for every game that is heavy on the character-development, or for a game that wants to feel realistic.

[child of Thor]

But guys.......women do have big boobs! some so huge they can poke your eyes out. surely emulating that in a micro computer simulation is just trying to make it real


ok ok so the fact that ALL(well lets say 90%) of women characters in games seem to represent what in reality should be more like 50% as not all women are like Jordan. Thats a fair gripe - give us more flat chest, bendy bannana's, dorothy droopies etc? that sounds fair?

But dont take the boobs away completely - its the small privilage of the outcast male teenage geek everywhere

[Sava]

seriously though, I have never bought a game (or download one ) for the boobs that was on a female character...

what kind of a pathetic loser would get a game just because of the boobs of a computer generated character in a video game?

even in GTA: San Andreas... I downloaded the Hot Coffee mod, but I never even loaded it... I was too lazy to go into the game to see the sex scene... I mean... COME ON, it's freaking polygons and stuff...

if I want pr0n, I got the internet...

maybe if the graphics get a little better, but as of yet, the quality of the female characters in games is not good enough for it to stimulate my shlong

and besides, they are too "cartoony"

I at least want the women to look realistic...

Lara Croft looks like she would make a good floatation device if we were in a plane crash over the ocean or something... but her body is not attractive at all... it just looks ridiculous

[Sandman]

I want a game with a medieval setting that either:

(a) Doesn't dress the female characters in immersion-destroying softcore skimp.

(b) Has a realistically sexist theme (no female soldiers, etc).

(c) Features real nudity in an artistic context. No-one cares about nudity in other art forms - games should be no different.

[Jamski]

Boobs are awesome. Games are awesome. Games with boobs are AWESOME.

Someone QFT me.
