Who buys console video games? It must be those reactionary 13 year old boys. This is why console video games are replete with fantasy characters. And, yes Jester, some women want to be noticed for their curves to the extent of dressing it up for Cosplay. The 13 year old boy in me still has a secret crush on Ivy from Soul Caliber. It's a brave women who'll cosplay her.
Then... there is over the top. I mean... why is the GTA series one of the best selling console games of all time? Isn't this a bit of an embarrassment for all console gamers? I don't own them, so I'm only going by hearsay. I understand the game play consists entirely of violent antisocial behavior.
Sometimes the gratuitous sexuality just reeks of a marketing department trying too hard, such as Summer Heat Beach Volleyball. Lemming's point about the Japanese video game industry is also valid -- but why stop at Japan? The US is a land of puritanical double standards, and perhaps Europe to a lesser extent. It's OK for a female fantasy character the kick the crap out of you, so long as you cannot be attracted to her while she's smacking you down. Unfortunately, I've not come across a Soviet era video game, since I'm sure they'd have treated women fairly. Yeah, right.
Oh, I see the PLA has a new video game out where you get the gun down the evil Americans.
Let's see how fair they are with the female heroines?
