Jesus Christ using tits and ass to sell your fucking games

Recommended Posts

I was just on Mobygames and this banner was on the side of the page.

People in the games industry need to grow the fuck up. I am so sick of seeing dumb shit like this in banners and stuff. At a company I used to work they once took out a full-page recruitment advert in an industry magazine that was an original painting of a mostly-naked girl wearing a thong and carrying a sword. It didn't even have anything to do with any game we were making at the time, and if anybody thought that it was a reflection of the type of women working at the company then they were wrong, and stupid, just like the advert was. As if the ideal clothing for swordfighting is bikini tops and thongs anyway. This shit is so ridiculous.

Also, what kind of a dumb fucking bra is she wearing? I can just see that this was drawn up by an overweight ugly little nerd with one hand wrapped around his wacom pen and the other rubbing his crotch through his pants to bring himself off. It's so super fucking retarded. Do men even know what the purpose of bras are? And also those panties have a buckle, why? Why do they have a buckle? Has the man who has created this piece of art ever tried wearing panties with a metal buckle? Probably not. Or is it a swimsuit? Why is she wearing a swimsuit? And if she's wearing a swimsuit then why is the top bit so retarded? If that was a real bikini top it would be very uncomfortable to wear whilst swimming, and would constantly require "readjusting". Basically there is no excuse for how fucking stupid and retarded this whole banner is.

And it's got a review on the banner from it's own forums.

But "Awesomely deep character skills..." and "Unique and strategic magic system..."! Obviously, you're just jealous of how awesome their game is.

I feel more sad about this issue with games i careabout like Mass Effect and Dragon Age.

From the looks of a few shots i've seen of Mass Effect 2 they've uped the tit factor. Which could have been an influence from the ridiculous DA stuff; look at the concept art, it's fucking normal, but then the game theres less clothing and more silicon!

I want games to grow up and something like this would be a small step.

Yeah I agree, even game content is ridiculous. I'm so so bored of playing titty women with holes cut out of each ass cheek of their jeans. If they're even wearing any jeans, which they're probably not.

It's just embarrassing at this stage. I mean, 15 years ago or so when everyone working in the industry WAS probably a young guy who thought this kind of thing was cool - okay, fair enough. But it's been like two decades now and it's still the same as it ever was. Maybe worse, because now the breasts can have their own special physics, and their constantly erect nipples are in higher definition. It's just painfully embarrassing. And it's everywhere, and it's driving me nuts.

I'm sick of these ads as well, and I agree with this, but I guess I'll end up a hypocrite no matter what because thinking about "big bums, hips and thighs," just because a BBC article mentions it gets me all excited (But not too much, I think!). Personally I wouldn't have put the Jennifer Lopez picture up at the top of the article.

Is this Nodiatis crap the same as that Evony Online crap? I like this article that shows their pitiful evolution to desperation that some someone will play their game:

The really annoying thing about the Evony ads is they kept appearing on sites that are usually work safe, and I had to be careful because they made me feel like I was going to make someone think I was trying to look up porn at work.

Hah, I was going to create a similar thread today, but instead focus on women's armor in games. Is it just me, or do games seem to think that all a woman needs to protect from weapons, fire, lightning, the cold, etc are her nipples and crotch? (The ass is optional.) Women love to take their clothes off in games. Even if it's something basic like showing off a leg for no reason whatsoever, like in Trine. Why is this? Don't women in game development object to this kind of crap?

Basically, ever since Ebony more and more similar browser games try exactly the same strategy.

Over at GWJ we have a topic full of links to such stuff and quite regularly someone posts a new finding. This is my favourite.

Geez, strangelingo, I had no idea there were so many clones. With that many online fantasy RPG games going around, I wonder if they actually have an audience, or are just trying to generate hits at this point?

EDIT: So I got to the end of the posted thread, and someone linked to this video:

So these ads are all part of a worldwide conspiracy to farm WOW GOLD.

Geez, we've come full circle, haven't we?

That's actually a lame video, it hardly shows any proof. Don't have any doubts that evony is a scam. But still, it's a video of FOX news quality.

Now that's unfair. Fox news can at least weave a coherent narrative.

Actually, this gives me hope for the future. If I can't get any decent job after I graduate I might just go with this shit* and scam people. Hooray!

*or GET RIPPED IN FOUR WEEKS, or become single mom and DISCOVER SECRET TO WHITE TEETH

BTW: they have 22 thousand active members on their forums. They have a radio. Pardonné-moi, an Official Radio. I'm scared.

Now when I see this thread title it makes me think it is directed at Jesus Christ. Like Jesus is making games and then using his tits and ass to sell them. "Imagine: Dating Jesus", or something.

I dunno.

Somehow 'NSFW' always flickers as 'Need for Speed' through my mind, before becoming 'Oh, porn'.

I remember a really long time ago IGN did an artcle on fantasy armor for women in video games(It was around Ultima Online days) they had some really good comparisons and did concepts for what would be more practical; I think UO had some pretty good options for women(am I wrong?) but their concept I have yet to see in any game that wasn't trying to make the womab a thick biker lesbian with a brush cut.

A History of Evony Ads

Evony is something else (who cares about those cheap crappy online games). I'm more annoyed by the insane boobage that just about every female character seems to have in games these days... Who was that one from Soul Caliber? It's geting embarassing now. I was thinking that there needs to be a new campaign (it's been a while since the Blue Skies In Games one). Something along the lines of Realistic Tits In Games, or something.
