I don't remember Sunny being 'objectified', or Rose, or Olga, or Paramedic... or Mei Ling. But I'm sure you're right.
In MGS4 during her codec conversations you can make her chest bounce by shaking the controller. But I'm sure there's a perfectly legitimate non sexist reason for this feature.
Huh, didn't know about that one. I'm only gonna say two three things about this. One, I don't know what the actual reason is, but I bet it's neither perfectly legit or sexist. And two, you can bounce her boobs but you don't have to, right? Correct me if I'm wrong about this (as I said, first time hearing about it.)
Just to be clear, I'm not defending the bouncy boobs (hmm... this statement sounds reasonable to me but at the same time somehow wrong.) This 'feature' is unnecessary, dumb and doesn't fit the tone of the Codec talks you have with Rose.
" One, I don't know what the actual reason is, but I bet it's neither perfectly legit or sexist. And two, you can bounce her boobs but you don't have to, right? Correct me if I'm wrong about this (as I said, first time hearing about it.)"
"it's neither perfectly legit or sexist"
"but you don't have to, right?"
Objectifying women is sexist, and just because you don't have to do something in the game doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
I can't believe people in the comments are defending this crap.
Also, for the love of all that is holy please stop compairing smutty objectification of women to the naked men played for comic relief. The difference between the two is very obvious, how are you not seeing it.
So, this might be silly of me to ask, but if I don't speak Japanese, why would the Japanese language improve the experience for me? I might as well just turn the voice volume off since I can't understand anything that they're saying.
Sorry, don't mean to side track, I just never really understood that solution to bad voice acting.
Well, have you ever seen a foreign movie? Or anything with subtitles? Even if you don't understand the words, the intonation, and acting- those still carry a lot of value. And if the acting is better in Japanese, I'd pick that one.
You know, I've played a whole bunch of LOTR Two Towers, Return of the King and Demon Stone, and I liked all of them. But man oh man, the presentation in the LOTR games, absolutely stellar. These games definitely suffered in level design, and as much as I've enjoyed playing them with my brother, they absolutely would not have been fun to play through alone.
Still, I have fonder memories of those games than Demon Stone, which was a great game, but a bit... forgettable when it comes to presentation, music, and story. Better design, but almost no style (except for Patrick Stewart). And I need a lot of style in my character action games. Lord knows I'm not playing them for their depth. I'm playing them because I wanna kill some fools with my sword.
@twolines: It was actually a collage of several Miiverse posts, but their immediate response to seeing it was to poke fun and be cynical. After actually reading the post did they then appreciate it.
Ohhh yeah, that thing. Yes, they were a bit mean when didn't know what it was at the start, but they turned around on it once they read the post.
Calling the Miiverse sketch that someone clearly worked a long time on a 'grainy jpeg' was kinda mean.
I'm pretty sure they meant that Nintendo used its magic to just port an image to Miiverse, and not actually drew it. Who knows though. It looked kinda funky for a standard drawing.
