The term gamer is a title that is loosely thrown around more often then one may believe. At the same time, the definition for someone to being a "true gamer", or a "real gamer", is something that is almost never universally agreed upon. Everyone has their own personal opinion and qualifications for what makes a person be viewed as an ideal gamer. Yet at the same time, there is a underlying sense of selectivity by many who don't understand the entirety of the term or the reality of the hobby, and would rather make being a gamer exclusive for their own convenience. This is an innate problem that has grown over the years due to the constantly jaded outlook on what it means to truly be a gamer in this generation. And its going to take a new approach to thinking and new kind of perspective in order to remedy this lingering issue of what it means to be a gamer.
Gaming conventions are missing some of their brightest stars, the booth babes! Should companies bring these representatives back?
Sop you want boot babes to distract people from the games?
Porn is easily available on the internet.
Unless one actually goes to the conferences, I don't see how booth babes really help to get the word out about the game. The reporters who get to oogle them are about the only benefactors outside the few reports we get about when they are around, and if that's all someone wants, I'm sure the internet has plenty to offer without waiting for a convention. The reporters shouldn't be worried about the booth babes, rather actually caring about what content is shown by those at the conventions and conveying that information to the consumers. If booth babes are an influence to somehow give preferential treatment to one game or another, it calls into question the quality or sincerity of the actual report.
I'm about as far from the raving SJW as one could get, but I really don't see the reason for them except as a marketing tool to improperly influence people through subconscious appeal based on people's needs to impress pretty girls.
We do need them back. They were great at TGS. Sjws/feminist zealots have made the industry become really lame since they arrived.
The solution to your problem is to have scantily clad men and women on. It's equality, but do you want the focus to be on their butt cheeks instead of the game?
Porn is easily available on the interwebz.
At first glance, I thought I saw the word boobs in the title. I guess I misread that!!! Ha!
It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.
The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.
Scrawl: "Looks like we know how that new Compile Heart countdown is going to end. The latest issue of Famitsu has confirmed that Agarest Senki 2, known as Record of Agarest War 2 in the US, is Compile Heart’s newest title."
1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.
If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).
Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.
Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.
@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.
I approve of this god damn message.
Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.
There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.
Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.
Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
