Why does game journalism suck?: Angry Joe FTW!

I mean, we’ve been playing as buff as fuck chiseled dudes with their shirt off since day one but I guess that doesn’t count. And Staring at Snake and Raiden’s ass for how many game’s now? Also, Chris got dat sexualization with those brand new guns in RE5. How you say Chun’s DLC outfits are sexualized when they at most show legs. We’ve got Seth who’s literally naked yet not a peep about him. How do you sexualize a man without making it “gay”?

Men love to see other men that are buff as hell. That’s just a fact.

I mean, look at WWE? You’ve got chiseled-as-fuck Cesaro laying on top of Rob Van Dam’s paunchy-yet-flexible ass in order to fight Sheamus’s pasty ginger ass.

All wearing nothing but speedos.

it has to be caps and preferably bold aswell.

There’s far more evidence to suggest that video games are homoerotica then they are exploitative of women.

Let’s not forget basically the entire male cast of KOF (excluding a small handful).

Razor. So Mirror’s Edge, Tomb Raider Reboot, Remember Me. Metriod Prime Trilogy. We’re just gonna pretend these games never happened huh? Just gonna act like gaming has made no effort to make a non sexualised female protagonist huh? Also for the I lost count time. What is it the female gamer wants? Please tell us. Please? Pretty please? Because this shit is getting old and we keep going in cirles with this discussion. Females tell developers exactly what it is ya want or just STFU.

Bloody. So you’re dismissing Samus’s whole history because of one game? Other M makes the Samus we knew all these years irrelevant? Also you’re dismissing Chun-LI because of DLC costume? It’s optional. You don’t like it? Use her original outfit, like c’mon man.

spudlyff8fan. Like I said earlier. Other M doesn’t make the Samus we all knew non existant. I guess if you want to get specific classic Samus or pre other M Samus is a non sexualised female protagonist.

And your explanation for why sexualising men isn’t a big deal. WTF!? Maybe that’d be true if the average man was gay.

I wouldn’t say the ENTIRE male cast.

I mean, Daimon is a bear and Benimaru is pretty as hell, but Kyo is standard “Japanese protagonist” and Iori is standard “Japanese antihero.” After them it’s pretty middle-of-the-road between fully clothed dudes like Clark and Terry and Kensu.

[Spirit_Juice]

What the hell happened in Other M?

[spudlyff8fan]

What the hell happened in Other M?

They basically tried to develop Samus as a character but it went sooooo poorly. Also the game itself was incredibly mediocre.

The biggest problem with it was how Nintendo said “fuck you guys” to Retro and retconned Prime out of existence.

I think you mean to say, Gay, gay, fan service, gay.
Not exactly in that order.

Fully clothed…nearly all the dudes are showing off muscle in some way either through tight clothing or athletic gear. I also wouldn’t call terry, kyo or iori middle-of-the-road dudes…these are all models with professional athlete bodies. The dudes in KOF are literally the stuff tumblr fangirl wet dreams are made of.

Wow what a cop out. SMH. Also I browse on my PS3. If a post is to lengthy I can’t quote it all. Also I can’t use the @ function either. So that’s why I post the way I do. But for that you’re gonna dismiss my points? Again COP OUT!

Half the cast is literally wearing like some runway model shit, dudes included(dead serious, show my girl some older pictures from shinkiro and she recognizes the shoes and shit lol) . It’s all good, cause me and @Vynce‌ love looking fabulous like our niggas Yagami and Yamazaki.

[Vynce]

^I LOLed that post, but I agree with it, too.

[Raz0r]

If Benimaru didn’t wear a fucking mid-drift I would be totally in with his style. Motherfucker showing more belly than Rick Ross.

[El_Chupa_Negro]

Honestly until the neckbeards and weirdos who have power fantasies get removed from gaming your gonna see shitty stories and shitty games. Stories in games haven’t changed that much they just upscaled them so the neck beards can finally say look mom I made that shitty star wars fan fic come to life

Well too bad because the “neckbeards” and “weirdos” are the ones who built this industry and supported it in its infancy, so we’re not going anywhere. Now that gaming is mainstream and cool, all these SJWs, feminist, and bro gamers wanna come along and tell us to GTFO!? Sorry we’re not going anywhere.

Benimaru is just a poor man’s Polinerf.

Console and PC will always be the core of gaming.

Nope, the trend is that gaming is diverging into two markets: the serious hardcore market of consoles/PC that requires backing by a huge publisher with a deep pocket versus casual gaming on tablet and phone. The former is risky because even successful studios close up shop, as developing blockbuster games is quite expensive. In a way, these divergent paths is similar to how movies are divided into two camps: the big hollywood blockbusters versus easy to make videos on youtube that net huge advertising revenue for the creators. big risk big payoff versus small risk smaller payoff (but less people to pay out so it works out pretty well).

The thing is, the more nimble smaller developers can compete against the giant behemoths, which are burdened by their size and red tape. the mobile/tablet market is growing. it’s going to surpass consoles eventually.
