Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 Isn’t Coming to the West Because of Social Justice Warriors

dead-or-alive-xtreme-3-10-15-15-2

Sorry for the title guys…. but I couldn’t think of any other way to describe what the developers of Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 said on Facebook, when answering why their game will not be coming to the West. When asked by a Facebook user on the Official Dead or Alive Game page, if there was any word on Xtreme 3 coming to the US and EU, here is what the developers responded with.

“We do not bring DOAX3 to the west and won’t have any plan change in the future. Thank you for asking.

Do you know many issues happening in video game industry with regard to how to treat female in video game industry? We do not want to talk those things here. But certainly we have gone through in last year or two to come to our decision. Thank you.”

My Take past the link….

This is just pathetic….seriously. Social Justice Warriors are now effecting games even coming to regions? Sorry…. but I might just have to channel my inner “Furious” Francis rage with this one…… video coming soon.

Thanks to Gozie Morah on Facebook for linking this news piece to me.

    Okay let me put this into perspective… DOA is a fighting based game that had elements of sex appeal that has been around for a good while but up until now no one gave a single flying fuck despite the following it had garnered in the competitive world and now the SJW have clocked it as wrong to depict female fantasy characters whom do not actually exist outside of virtual space bar cosplayers as over sexed meaning that we no longer have the right to play a game people have looked forward to due to a minority of people kicking up a whirlwind of feminist bullshit despite them not actually being real and/or it being a fighting game…

    Now Feminists before you attack my comment here is what I say to you in the e-sports world do you know how many games there are with sexual content that is actually censored so that it give a fair advantage because that is what DOA tournaments do they do not allow certain costumes to be used because they affect the player

    Lastly if you still disagree with me video games and art are the same… look at some famous art created by religious men showing nudity… look at the amount of anime that show characters in a manner that is semi-explicit as well as porn! for fuck sake… your not going to change anything because believe it or not most female porn actors chose to go into that line of work and have come out better every industry is art in it’s own way so when you feminists jump on me just think on one tiny detail MEN ARE ALSO SHOWN IN THE SAME LIGHT we have bloody statues with dongs that are shown is national and international muesums

  • sregginkcuf

    yea? that’s not stopping the black market or pirates from distributing the game, sure a large portion of the market will be left out but those willing enough can get their hands on the game easily.

  • Shadao

    Hehe… And fans wonder why Nintendo of America would even censor certain aspects of their games.

  • Quan Do

    btw if you really want to jerk off, choose a better series than DOA.
    if you’re going to commit to an action, don’t take the pretend version of what you really want. go all the way and play the real thing.

  • Quan Do

    pff. like that’s going to stop fan from ordering it online. pathetic gesture.

  • Samuel Socrates Melgarejo

    There is not a campaing to bring back this title?

  • Azz

    Who cares if the game is about sex, deaths or nudes.

    It’s a game, if you don’t like it, don’t buy it, don’t play it.

    Well, i thought that censors were the peak of dumb people’s thoughts, but denying a game? I couldn’t care less about DOA, i mean, we have Tekken/KoF/Street Fighter, and i don’t really play them that much.
    But the fact that some hyper sensitive people could deny a game to be localized gives me shivers, i hope that none of this happens to actually interesting games.

    And those of you who really love to play volleyball bikini simulator, well, I feel you, hope issues like this doesn’t get any further.

    (By the way, to that Giordan, repeating endlessly how sexist is this: ‘Objetifying’ and object isn’t that big of a deal. Because you know, videogames are objects, obstract objects.
    Those ‘women’ are indeed, objects.)

  • Darius Davis

    who cares about a social justice. just don’t buy the game! Don’t ruin shit for the rest of us just because your offended.

  • J.L. Franklin

    Neil Gaiman put it so perfectly when he said, “If you accept — and I
    do — that freedom of speech is important, then you are going to have
    to defend the indefensible. That means you are going to be defending the
    right of people to read, or to write, or to say, what you don’t say or
    like or want said.”

    Essentially, we don’t have to agree with what’s being said, or what the game is doing. Personally, I don’t like Mortal Kombat very much; for me it’s way too violent; that’s just me. I personally don’t watch movies with unwarranted sexual content because when I watch movies, that’s not something I want to see. Be that as it may, what right do we have to “silence” something or someone that we personally don’t agree with?

    The objectification of women in the DOA video games, is no different than the objectification of men all through out Abercrombie and Fitch.

    If anything personally offends you, you can always choose to not participate in it whatsoever.

    Make video games less fun for men, so men pay more attention to women. Interesting reproductive strategy.

  • Jamie B.

    “Don’t worry! Anita and her followers don’t want to take your games away!” And here’s another example of us being denied a game (it’s happened more internationally than domestically) because of incessant whining and duplicitous double speak from these people. People thought Jack Thompson was bad? Nah. Jack Thompson only needed a vagina and a thin sheen of “liberalism” to have legions of blind defenders rush to his/her side. What Anita is doing to this industry is far worse than anything Jack Thompson could have ever hoped for, and daring to criticize her lands you with a label like “misogynist” “harasser” or “man baby”. God forbid you have problems with blatant lies and misinformation.

    • Nintendo-Patrol

      you being denied a game because the maker of the game is a wimp. Koei Tecmo has no spine.

  • Giordan

    I find it funny people are complaining about SJWs for video games… but agree with them when it comes to cartoons and movies. Hypocrisy is fun.

    This is sad for freedom of speech

  • Pat Riark

    While SJW’s are truly a scourge upon the planet that needs to be eradicated, this isn’t their fault, directly. The devs are being chicken shits here. Look at all the other games that feminazis have cried about that have been released anyway. There’s nothing stopping them from bringing it here but themselves and their weak knees shaking over the thought of possibly taking a little heat from some crazy left-wing nutjobs who should ultimately be laughed at and ignored.

  • Cephrien

    So DOA6 is never being made i guess.

    Might as well take Team Ninja out back and shoot it while you’re ahead.

  • Taluss Athner

    Equality is good and needed but we don’t need to be overly pc about everything, its not good when this happens.

  • Original_Outcast

    Fuck these SJW’s in the Throat with a Loaded Shotgun!

  • Nyobee

    Why are we blaming SJW? They complain so what? I blame TK for this. They decided to do this. If GTA can do it why not them? I’m sorry but this is a lazy excuse. Admittedly I don’t really like DoA, I’m more of a Tekken person. But really?

    • http://playeressence.com/ PlayerEssence

      Because SJW’s gave Koei Tecmo endless hell in the past for their games…. so in order to avoid that, they just translated the game to english but only released it in asia for americans to import….

      • Nyobee

        So did they for GTA and it has been like that for a long long time for them. Bayonetta did too but probably for not that long. Mortal Combat did too for the blood.It only so far that they can make that excuse.

        • http://playeressence.com/ PlayerEssence

          I like to punch the bully, not the one getting bullied. I agree they still could release it, but the fact these people continue on with their BS is horrible. These are the same type of people who get Nintendo to remove the breast slider, edit out outfits in Bravely Default and get Capcom to alter camera angles in Street Fighter.

          • Nyobee

            As much as you need to teach someone to not bully, you need to leach people to stand up for yourself.

            And the IMO all this depends on the situation. I don’t or can’t group all these complains into one category cause their all different. Changing a class because it insult a race is different than showing breast which is a natural body part or removing a breast slider (many games don’t have anyway… including Fall Out if I’m not mistaken).

          • Nintendo-Patrol

            Your frustration is shared, but your blame gives the real culprit that has all the power a complete pass.

            You should change your headline to:

            Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 Isn’t Coming to the West Because Koei Tecmo Doesn’t Have A Spine.

            I don’t like it but the reality is SJWs aren’t going anywhere. They are not going to shut up. Koei Tecmo could of easily done what the makes of GTA, Saints Row, and otherhave done. Kindly give the SJWs the middle finger.

            This was Koei Tecmo’s decision and theirs alone. Have a backbone for God’s sake. Congrats Koei Tecmo you just chose to give the SJWs a victory.

  • Tom Gibbs

    I am going to pay a ton of developers to make a load of genuinely sexist games just to really fuck off feminists

  • http://frauds.com How Kujo Stop Karen About Me?

    Spineless. Fuck SJWs and Fuck whoever at Team Ninja pulled this decision.

  • The One True Nobody!

    *points to Marie Rose*

    Actually it’s probably because of her being in there. And it’s not Super Jawas who are the big voice on that matter, it’s people kneejerking about lolicon stuff. Granted? She’s “technically” eighteen (ahahahaha… yeah, sure), but the bottom line is it ain’t SJWs they’re afraid to provoke, it’s general western controversy because of how we tend to view that kind of thing.

    I mean, be honest: most of the people complaining about SJWs here also criticize lolicon fanservice almost everywhere it shows up. Marie Rose can pass in DOA5 itself, but Xtreme Beach Volleyball is the spin-off series with poledancing and other such stuff.

    So I’m pretty sure this was doomed not to come out here from the start, unless they either cut her out or severely censored what you could do with her.

    • The One True Nobody!

      Just to put this in perspective, though, why would they care about releasing a game in the west because of Social Justice Warriors, when they JUST released DOA5 last round anyway, at the height of SJW/anti-SJW bickering? That’s a demographic that always has and always will be against most of what Team Ninja does. They’re STILL releasing fanservice DLC costumes on an almost monthly basis, though, so I don’t think they really care.

      • KnightWonder

        Nah, they’re the ones to blame here.

        • The One True Nobody!

          I’m sure that the Xtreme Beach Volleyball series being blatantly made fun of by almost everyone under the sun since its first game has absolutely nothing to do with it.

  • Leonardo Cornejo Bernal

    We should really fight back. They can’t get away with this. We must do something.

    • http://playeressence.com/ PlayerEssence

      Oh… we will…. we will.

    • The One True Nobody!

      Or you could just buy another fanservice game; there’s plenty of ’em, and they ain’t slowing down soon. Xtreme Beach Volleyball was the butt of the jokes in the west since weeeeeeell before Social Justice Warriors were even a thing, anyway. Let’s not kid ourselves about that.

    • http://www.OneAngryGamer.net Billy

      Have you not heard of the hashtag that can’t be named? Yeah… it had something to do with ethics and censorship. You should check into a certain place on Reddit that organizes operations to help let devs know that real gamers care about their products.

      You’d be better off importing the game, posting it on twitter with a big ole’ fuck you @ whatever anita sarkesian and the rest of the sjw’s handles are.

      • Liquid-Sunrise

        That sounds awesome! XD

        • Mythosa

  • person

    I hate to seemingly be the back sheep, but would any of you guys talking about SJWs have actually cared about this game, if there was no controversy? IMO, any dislike towards a series with ‘breast physics’ as it’s main draw seems justified to me, so I’d understand why a lot of people would dislike it. Remember, I DON’T THINK THIS GAME SHOULD BE ‘BANNED’ IN THE WEST! I do believe, however, that the devs wanted to avoid any controversy. Also, come on, beach volleyball? It doesn’t look like we’re missing out on much, anyway.

    • DJ Soru

      person, it’s a fighting game with attractive girls and bouncing physics. I’m sure a lot of people care about it since the PS1 debut.

    • raze2012

      “I do believe, however, that the devs wanted to avoid any controversy.”

      doubfult. From what I hear, the infamous “breast physics” has been in place since DoA2, which came out in 1998. DoA 5 came out in 2013 and still kept the same themes intact

      “but would any of you guys talking about SJWs have actually cared about this game, if there was no controversy?”

      probably. this is the 9th game in the franchise, and the 4th game in this spin-off series of beach stuff (there was a psp version ot this, minus the volleyball). This isn’t some niche series no one has heard of: it’s up there in the FGC with the like of Street Fighter, Tekken, and MvC. And if a 4th spinoff is coming out, then there are obviosuly enough interest to keep it going.

      • alex9234

        From what I hear, the infamous “breast physics” has been in place since DoA2, which came out in 1998.” – It’s been in place since the first DoA came out in 1996.

    • chrgby

      I know I wouldn’t have, and I still don’t. That being said, it’s actually not impossible for me to imagine a situation where I would’ve run into it at a friend’s house or picked it up myself someway, somehow on a whim. Hell, I can safely say I would’ve picked this up before a number of other “top-tier, AAA” games I have no care for. And I can also imagine not being horrified by the “oppression” and “misogyny”, falling to pieces the moment the game boots up. Rather, I imagine having fun with it, for what it is — a bouncy, over-the-top, tongue-in-cheek party game that garnishes any given game library.

      Of course they wanted to avoid controversy, but the whole point is that THERE SHOULDN’T BE ANY FUCKING CONTROVERSY. No one is having this game forced down their throat, or being told that they’re not allowed to be turned off by the highly sexualized depictions DoA is known for. But what the more discerning of us are saying is that playing or enjoying this game does not profoundly alter how you view, treat or regard women. Don’t like it, don’t buy it. Feel free to criticize it, even. But in this environment, I wouldn’t expect many of those criticisms to be anything other than highly overblown garbage dredged up by soulless, twitter-addicted hipster losers. The trumped up charges of sexism are BS, and so is the notion that this game and its ilk should be censored or effaced from the medium.

      And all this rank, rampant assholery definitely has implications for me, irrespective of exactly what happens with this game. I may not be big on DoA, but I am definitely someone who enjoys Koei Tecmo games. And I can’t blame them at all for feeling the way they do: remember the Fatal Frame situation? Whenever content — costumes, character models, environmental design, etc. — has to be altered for localization, that’s a process usually undertaken by the original devs. So if they weren’t already aware of all this shit going on, they know it well enough from having been forced to edit Fatal Frame for the first time ever. And I don’t want to see them forced to change or completely fucking DROP games I actually care about quite a bit. On the principle, what’s going on right here, is very bad. And the threat of how this might get even more out of hand? That’s worse.

    • Mea K

      “would any of you guys talking about SJWs have actually cared about this game, if there was no controversy?”

      Yes. Now I have to preorder the Asian version that (thankfully) has English subtitles. It’s inconvenient (more expensive, I will need to register a PSN account for a different region and get corresponding PSN cards if I want DLC to work).

      “IMO, any dislike towards a series with ‘breast physics’ as it’s main draw seems justified to me”

      What? Why? Like it or not, jiggly bags of flesh and fat are going to have physics applied to them when they are in motion. It’s annoying that these physics, apparently, justify dislike whereas things like cloth and fluid physics cause people to spontaneously high five each other. These still add realism, no matter how sex-negative you are.

      “Also, come on, beach volleyball? It doesn’t look like we’re missing out on much, anyway.”

      W-What’s wrong with beach volleyball? What other sport must they play to earn your approval?

      More importantly, none of this matters. DOAX3 could be a game about literally eating shit and it wouldn’t make a difference for the argument. A game is not getting released because its publisher is afraid of SJW bullies. What game exactly is completely irrelevant.

      • person

        I meant beach volleyball is a dull idea for a video game. IMO, sports video games aren’t that fun.

    • Patchouli

      >I do believe, however, that the devs wanted to avoid any controversy
      And there wouldn’t have been any had they not chosen to bend to the will of a minority that doesn’t even play video games in the first place. I hate to employ a slippery slope, but it’s been in the works over the past few years; Clothing options changed or removed in western releases of games like Bravely Default and Xenoblade Chronicles X, cutscenes being altered or cut in examples such as Fire Emblem Awakening, this vocal Puritanical minority successfully mounting campaigns to have games pulled from sale a la GTAV and almost Hatred, and now we’re at outright withholding or indefinite deferment of a release due to these people.

    • vix

      Yeah, it looks fun to play casually once in a while, but not the kind of thing I would buy. That’s not the problem. Right now, it’s happening to a game I don’t care that much, but who knows what will happen later. I fear for the games that are about to come. If their intolerance keep growing, more games are going to suffer from this, maybe even the games I want to play. That’s why it needs to stop ASAP. This is bad news no matter how I look at it, independently of the game in question.

      • person

        I think that it’ll only affect games like this which don’t sell massively well in the west, anyway.

        • vix

          Maybe, who knows, but what if some of those get my attention and I want to play it? That’s my point.

  • DukeMagus

    Asian version has the English translation. They just want to avoid the backlash of bringing it officially.

    Thanks Anita.

  • Guidosaur

    Preeeety stupid. It’s a fighting game or volleyball or something, right lol? PS4 is region free and I doubt you’d need to know much of the language to understand the gameplay.

  • RageMonkey

    Doesn’t stop people from importing it though

  • Ray01X

    Even though I don’t really care about this particular series, the fact that the devs felt it best not to localize it because they’re afraid of what those obnoxious SJWs will say really gets my goat…..

    The U.S. needs to get over this PC crap mentality already. All they’re doing is lying to themselves.
    It’s great to respect others, but don’t harass & demonize people for not acting like saints you disgusting hypocrites.

    • Liquid-Sunrise

      My thoughts exactly. It’s getting tiresome.

    • plasmacutter

      The frightening problem is this is NOT the US, this is being imposed, top-down, by SJW’s who have outsized hold on the media and academy.

      I believe they once called it “the long march through the institutions”.

      If not for the internet continuously fact-checking their increasingly blatant propaganda for the past 10 years or so, we would already be under a neo-Maoist regime right now.

  • Liquid-Sunrise

      • raze2012

        They get slammed either way. Look at poor Linkle, despite their bitching for a female Link (yeah, same people as this game developed Hyrule warriors for Nintendo). gets rolled down with the usual broad FemFreq tropes that can be applied to literally any character they don’t like.

        • Liquid-Sunrise

          That is a shame…
          But, I hope these companies stand up to these SJWs and the Radical Feminists someday.

            If Itagaki were still around, I’m sure he would have. If you’re going to get slammed for it, why not go full ham? Destructive Creations took that route with Hatred, and look how many of these SJW even care about that game’s existence anymore. They just started to complain about the next thing they didn’t like minutes later.

          • Liquid-Sunrise

            Oh yeah! I forgot that game. No one is talking about that game anymore.

          • vix

            I kinda disliked that game, but after what you said, I respect the people behind it.

    • Giordan

      you act like the game is actually fun

      • Liquid-Sunrise

        I’m no fan of the series, but at the same time no developer or publisher
        shouldn’t feel the need to not release a game just because it might offend
        the loudmouth minority.

  • Wanderlei

    Its funny business move. The people complaining are not the ones buying your product and putting money in your pocket. The moaning and complaining by non-customers publicizes your product amongst real potential customers. Other companies I can see them not wanting jeopardize other products sales or damage their overall public image. Not sure if Koei Tecmo would have this issue though.

    Rockstar games use this tactic to promote their games. There will be some controversy in the months before the games release about something violent/sexual. (Which I believe they more often they never actually have genuine intent to include in the game.) This gets picked up by non-gaming media and they instantly get millions and millions of free advertising in mainstream media. Minor coverage by mainstream media is worth way more than major coverage by gaming ‘media’.

    • http://www.your-moms-vagina.com/ Hugh Briss

      Rockstar’s clever manipulation of the moral whiney-pants idiots certainly is brilliant.

  • KnightWonder

    SJWs are like parasites, they latch onto whatever they can and bury deep within and tear away at it. It’s already happened with comics, now it’s happening with movies. Well I can tell you one thing, when I become a developer, and if my games star sexy female characters, I won’t bend to these peoples’ will. I’ll release what I want to release, and if they want to whine about it, so be it. But my creations are my own, and there’s nothing these insects can do to make me change it.

        Yes, nothing vaguely convenient about not having to learn Japanese or use translation guides at all.

        I wonder if you’re one of the people who said “SJWS HAVE NO INFLUENCE, ONLY AUTISTIC LOSERS THINK OTHERWISE, JUST IGNORE THEM” trying to save face.

        • Wonderkarp

          actually DOAX3 will have English Subs built into the vocals/menus. so its possible to still enjoy it if you dont speak japanese. So with this worst case scenario, we can still enjoy it.

          But SJWs are full of shit and I cant wait till this pc crap ends

            actually, these social justice warriors and anita complainsalot and her pink-haired cohorts aren’t real feminists. feminism is about men and women both being entitled to the same rights, liberties, and respect. saying a guy is bad just because he is a guy or the belief that all women are superior to men in everyway (same with the belief of men being superior at everything than women) is not feminism. that’s just using the word “feminism” as a falsely-advertized banner to hide one’s true sexist beliefs. there are a lot of feminists, both men and women who are cool with having overly objectified characters, both male and female, just because we don’t care. the reason i don’t like daox, is not because i think it degrades women, but because i just don’t enjoy it as much as the classic fighting game. does it degrade women? maybe…..but assuming it did, it is not my reason to dislike it. even if i didn’t like it because of the fanservice, and you happen to like it even if only for the close ups of the anterior thoracic fat tissue or the posterior pelvic muscle tissue….guess what….i won’t hate you. i just wouldn’t care. as long as you are not being a dick to real-life women, that’s all that matters. the only reason i replied to your comment is because of the context you used “feminist” in. I don’t disagree with you on who you are trying to refer to in your comment, i just want to point out that the person(s) you are refering to ARE NOT REAL FEMINISTS. if REAL feminists won, this game would be released in the US, no one would care whether or not it did, and this article and comment thread wouldn’t exist. instead, half of the people here would just be playing this game instead of complaining about it not being released in the US because of complaints by non-feminists that call themselves feminists.

          You need translations to play with animated video game breast?

        • Giordan

          It’s not like it’s a text-heavy RPG.

        While you still have the option to import, you’ll have to pay the extra $10~20 premium for shipping and other import costs.

      • alex9234

        Not really, since some developers are region locking their games.

    • Giordan

      It’s not like it’s a fun game.

    • Han Rasmussen

      Radfems, real feminism s about equal rights and the ending of abuse. It’s a damned shame the psychos have ruined the name for everyone else.

  • Blake Wigert

    That is pathetic, and yielding to SJW’s whining only lets them know that they can get their way if they whine loud enough.

    • Giordan

      You act like the game is actually fun.

      • Justin McQuillen

        It is you fucking dipshit

        • Giordan

          Yeah if you like jacking off to something that objectifies women.

          • Han Rasmussen

            Maybe they do. It’s nobody’s business but theirs. By the way, the characters in the game are imaginary, they are not women they are fantasy objects. What kind of thoughtcrime fascism are you advocating for if you think policing other people’s fantasies is ok? Do you have any can of freedom and individual rights?

          • Eric Rion

            I appreciate what you’re trying to do, because I mostly agree with your point of view, but you’re just wasting your time here.

            Unless you’re trollin’. In which case, keep it up.

          • Giordan

            what do you mean?

          • Mitchell Becker

            While I think the games are shit, at least this game is consensual and portrays girls having fun at a resort and doing sports. Might as well ban female porn. Which, of course, there are some SJWs that want to do that as well… The objectification thing is pretty subjective. Portraying females in a suggestive manner does not suggest that that’s all they’re good for and that their personalities mean less. I think people read into fiction a bit too deep like that. It’s just an attempt to sell games to people that want to get off. But I also know that there are girls that like this game, and for a different reason. And guess what, gay porn puts emphasis on male physique and sex appeal, too. And gay guys have to deal with what they consider “shallowness”, but, gay fiction still runs strong. Yet, even if there were nothing of high sexual portrayal, there’d still be users and rapists. If anything, fiction can be used as a sexual outlet instead of people seeking gratification from women who are not just out for casual sex. And when it comes to porn, the actresses are often doing it out of their own volition, making money off of it, yet, SJWs wouldn’t blame them for assisting in the objectification of women, because then that’d be slut shaming. Not that I think porn actresses or strippers are worth less; if they aren’t directly imposing on others, then they’re free to do as they will… same as these game developers.

            Greetings fellow Melee Heller, what brings you here?

          • Ninopolis

            “The game isn’t fun because boobs”
            Shut the fuck up. Dead or Alive is a pretty solid and fun game to play, regardless of jiggle physics.

            “The game isn’t fun because boobs”
            Shut the fuck up. It’s a solid and fun game regardless of jiggle physics.
            If we keep going by this logic a fuckton of games should be burned because they have female characters with *gasp*…boobs.
            Bayonetta is a shit-ton of fun. And that has the main character’s clothes literally dissapear when you do a special attack.
            MGS5 is fun, and that has Quiet. A woman who walks around in her underwear.
            It’s okay to acknowledge the fact that females have boobs. It’s not a crime.

          • mwells219

            Women are objects, like every other object that exists in the real world. Sexuality is not wicked. Go take your religious based moral puritanism and shove it up your ass. Good day.

          • Giordan

            Well that was colorful.

      • Blake Wigert

        You’re mistaken, I’ve never played a DOA game. For one thing I only have Nintendo consoles, and you know how limited those are in regards to games. I just don’t want people to affect video games just because they don’t agree with something. Allowing politics and drama into video games, or anything for that matter, is pointless and disruptive

        • Giordan

          How is it political? Because it objectifies women?

          • http://i.imgur.com/O9mwWpJ.jpg Thomas Squidgewell

            and who the fuck are you? go back to tumblr you stupid feminist cunt.

          • Giordan

            lol go back to Faux Noise

          • Samuel Socrates Melgarejo

            Idiot, these womans are imaginary, how many people complaints about kratos, or the new hot ryu or the snake and raiden butts? fucking double moral.

          • Giordan

            I don’t see that many, really.

          • Blake Wigert

            For lack of a better term I used the word politics. There are hidden inner dealings that affect the way games are made. One such example is 3rd party games, Sony/Microsoft buy their support away from Nintendo. It isn’t ethical or right.

          • Giordan

            Ah.

          • mwells219

            Becaue there is nothing wrong with sex and nothing wrong with being sexually attracted to women? Why do you have such a problem wtih men being sexually attracted to women? Is ti becaue you yourself are phsycially not attractive and are jealous of women who are more sexually attractive than yourself?

      • Veil

        I wish I had the chance to find out. But that won’t happen due to people like you 😉

        • Giordan

          There are two other DoA Xtreme games…

          • Veil

            And? Your point being what exactly? They’re not the same game though, are they? I won’t have the option to find out just because some loudmouth thinks every guy is objectifying the female body.

            There are very little actual facts you provide to prove anything you’ve stated thus far aside from mere speculation on your part. You fight against this “oppression” because you’re making the assumption that males are only playing it to “jack off” to it, as you so eloquently put it earlier.

            But yet, when there’s a stereotypical male body on display, you’re not jumping to the defence of the male gamers who are offended by the phantom females who would be “getting off” to the sexification of the male body.

            As it’s been stated before, it isn’t just men playing games, women are too, but nobody like you is jumping to defend the other side of the fence. If perhaps the paranoid SJWs would help both sides, I might find it more than a joke.

          • Giordan

            how is it not oppression. Tell me.
            I haven’t seen much in the oppression of males. If you think women being oppressed is gone HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAH dude, go live in Texas then tell me.

          • Veil

            Completely misreading what I’ve said and dodging the argument. You’ve failed the moment you brought the real world to your side of the case.

            Your entire argument so far is based on the fact that women are oppressed and treated like sexual objects in video games, yet, I’m failing to see you point out the same argument for the opposite sex in this. Aren’t all the male characters in the DOA franchise muscular and are the idealised physicality of the male body? So the reverse would stand true for them in addition. Why aren’t you standing up for the males who feel upset and angered by the women who’re playing the game for the male bodies contained within?

            Also, dude would be the incorrect term to use for me. You would be better using dudette, or ma’am.

            Quick, I think there’s a few hundred guys over there, jacking off to ACTUAL porn. Please go rain on their parade.

          • Giordan

            Because at least those are real women.

      • vix

        It doesn’t matter if it is fun or not. If this keeps up it will get out of control and more games are going to be victims of it, maybe even the ones that you think are fun.

      • Qmish

        DoAX1 was gameplaywise, though (volleyball part). Sequel wasn’t.

        (if we talk about how it plays, for a moment)

        • Giordan

          that might be why we won’t get it

          • Qmish

            btw isn’t it’s the whole thing with modern Japan that one of most profitable things in business for them are “cute ladies”? So-called “talents”, who sing j-pop, than they make photosessions of them in bikini and sell those in blu rays. And models may be dreaming of becoming tv actresses instead of “singing pants” but they dont get chance – after they are not “sexy product” for producers they are out of business.
