Comments on: X-Blades: Now Featuring Almost-Porn http://www.theaveragegamer.com/2008/04/03/x-blades-now-featuring-almost-porn/ Video games news and reviews from the UK Mon, 06 Feb 2012 18:11:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Steve http://www.theaveragegamer.com/2008/04/03/x-blades-now-featuring-almost-porn/comment-page-1/#comment-251183 Steve Thu, 13 Jan 2011 13:58:26 +0000 http://www.theaveragegamer.com/2008/04/03/x-blades-now-featuring-almost-porn/#comment-251183 O.K., I have not read all of the posts on here but I think I see where this is going. FOR THE RECORD: I am not sexist, racist, or intolerant of any group of people ( unless you call multinational corperations people ). I think that there is a very clear double standard going on here. I think that Weefz, since she has declared herself heterosexual is full of s#@%! If you are indeed a strait woman then there is no doubt in my mind that when you see a man that you find attractive this happens: First you see the hottie or w/e you call them, then if he's your "type" there will be A BIOLOGICAL RESPONSE ( you can't stop this from happening ) causing you to feel slightly aroused, maybe more than slightly. If this has ever happened to you, and I'm sure that it has then you have "oogled" a man and you are a hypocrite. I personally do believe that men and women are equal. The problem with this whole topic is that you are asking people to shut off something that is in our genes, and that is NEVER going to happen. Any guy who tells you that he doesn't "oogle" women is either not hetero, or is lying to you so that your opinion of him stays high enough that he can eventually get you out of you cloths to oogle you. Finally, you like to talk about how men are impressing this hyper sexuality on women. This is also nonsense. Both women and men have been using there sexuality to manipulate each other for thousands of years especially women. Why do you think that prostitution is called the oldest profession? Sex will always be at the top of the list of ways to make money and to control ( each other!!! ), O.K., I have not read all of the posts on here but I think I see where this is going.

Sure girls in games tend to b made to look good and yes some games r created to show off scantily clad girls but the fact is that if u actually play xblades u are too busy trying to survive the onslaughts of monsters to take notice that the girls barely wearing anything. Only I'm cutscenes or on the cover does it get that idea but then, this game genre is generally played by guys. We tend to like hack and slash games more than girls do so therefore it'd b put to what guys would want. Hack slash, kill monsters, survival and why not a hot chick doin it. Coz either way if u actually play the game then in gameplay you'll note u aren't even looking at the girl but the monsters to stay alive Characters r character whether they look good or not.

Firstly......ITS JUST A COUPLE OF PIXELS ON A SCREEN! GET OVER URESELVES!!!!!!!!. secondly, if we do need to actually confront this problem, why can't female characters in games be just sort of pretty but not extremely curvy, like faith in mirrors edge, or alyx vance, from half life. i don't think it is fair to call these games like xblade nasty and disgusting, because if everyone else thought like that, the game would not sell. but sex DOES sell, which is the problem everyone is having, and sexy underage girls with out of proportion bodies do sell as well(though i have no idea why) which is why these games are so popular. why everyone keeps talking in extremes is completely past me.

Face it. God of War and X-Blades are basically the same concept, with the only worthwhile difference being that one has a male character and one has a female character. You can't sensibly wave the gender equality flag, and complain about Ayumi without giving a same amount of criticism to Kratos. So, you're completely ignoring Kratos?

It's quite wide, in fact. Reaaaaally wide - they're opposite ends of a very big spectrum. It would just be nice to see some hot female leads in games that hit the "wears clothes" section of it more often. Or are you saying that clothes = ugly?
