Yes, pornography and perversion is alright. Not for everyone, obviously, but there's a crowd that enjoys it. I know plenty of persons that love sexual depictions of the human body, I know many exhibitionists, voyeurs, and what have yous. And it goes much deeper than anything depicted in Dragon's Crown. Actually, the art in Dragon's Crown is pretty tame. If someone gets offended by that, it is my belief that this person really has not seen much in his/her lifetime.
Actually, sex has been one of the main subjects of art since the dawn of humankind. Do some research.
All that thing you're so hyped about, you do are aware that it'll only work for people that can speak proper, faultless english right? Anyone with a speech problem is left out of the picture, anyone that has another language's accent too.
Seriously, it's not BIG, it's a small gimmick.
Well if I want to listen to a movie, I usually just pause my game and switch to my composite display on my tv. Really, it's not that complicated...
Surely I'm not the only one that doesn't speak english as his/her main language?
I'm french canadian. My english accent is absolutely terrible. That makes every vocal controls absolutely useless for me. They're gonna need to work harder than that if they want me to buy their little gadget...
Incredible, it almost reminds me of my actual controller. I press the button and the console just does it. Magic. But yeah, pressing a button, it's so much more of an effort than talking to a robot...
Valkyrie Profile. Come on, they need to end the trilogy, one day!
Valkyrie Profile: Hrist is the one sequel I really want.
Really? For a speed run that is.
I'm at 45 hours and still haven't maxed a single character... (And no, I never died once or stayed idle)
Some persons really need to go check the definition of misogyny. How is admiration of the female body considered hatred towards women? Seriously.
It's sleaze, hell yeah. Crass, maybe, depends of your taste. Distasteful to some, I can understand. But misogyny? No.
It pleases a certain kind of crowd. If you're not in that crowd, it's understandable that you are uneasy with it, but it does not makes a game bad or good. It's the same with movies. Sexploitation flicks from the 70s were not meant to please everyone and their grandmother, only a specific kind of crowd. The same goes with Suda51 games. As a reviewer, you need to know what you're going into.
The question should be: Is it a good game by Suda51 or one of his les...
So what now, crass sex has to be banned from video game media? Seriously?
There has to be only family-friendly games and politically correct ones?
Actually, this game is far removed form typical japanese anime sexuality. There is no underage girl *GASP*, most men do look like men, and every one is above the age of consent. This is pretty typical of western erotic art, à la Heavy Metal comics, and this is not what japan shows most of the time.
It may be the reason why I am super comfortable playing this game while playing Hyper Dimension Neptunia or the Atelier series shames me a whole lot more...
Yeah that picture.
I believe that effeminating (new word?) the male body is as much a problem as over sexualizing the female one, if not more.
Do men in japan have to be ashamed of being men, with what it implies of hair, body fat and muscles? That's really strange to me actually.
I really do not like the bishounen pretty boy type that most jrpg and animes show the world. I believe that is japan's way of sexualizing the male body, ...
I see. And to clarify, my point was that the author used an image of gay bears while it's probably the most male-centric sexuality possible, leaving girls and any feminity completely out of the equation.
That's not at all what I meant.
The question is , on my side, Why the hell do they feel the need to effeminate every single male characters?
I'm gay myself, but the kind of man I like has hair, fat, and masculinity. That's something I've never really seen in yaoi fiction by and for women.
Funny how he uses an image of GAY BEARS to describe what "girls games" would be.
That's still sex for the male eye. That's the kind of men men jerk off to on the internet. (I know this from personal experience)
From what I gathered on internet, girls are more interested in yaoi fanfiction of snape raping harry potter. I hope I'm wrong on this.
Anyway.
Sometimes I wonder if the persons offended by the art style ever looked at real erotic art or pornography...
This game is really quite tame. Yes it teasingly sexualizes anything and everything, but I've seen much, much worse in my video game career... Let alone movies, books and google...
All of the above, eh? :)
As for me, I love every single thing about DC. Except the evil rabbit. I hate the evil rabbit.
----SPOILERS----
It's also strange that no one mentions the fact that the one woman who has supreme power in that game, princess Vivian, who becomes Queen at the start of hard mode, doesn't show any skin. There you have it, a strong woman that has power over everything because of her kindness and strength in adversity, yet not a single moral-paragon-reviewer ever mentioned it. Do they believe that having such character is bad for their cause too, or are they too blind...
Since when does sexy = sexist?
