infinite zest - 2014-02-12

I don't get how big boobs showcased in a game are supposed to advance any sort of feminist video game agenda, nor do I see the gender role thing advanced. When I was a kid, you'd usually be a Ryu if you were a boy, and a Chun Li if you were a girl. From what I remember, most female characters were better than the male protagonist, but since more men (especially at that time) played video games than women (and we were like 12), more people pick the Ryu. Then, Marvel v. Capcom came out, and I think that defeated gender roles, as the best combination was Strider (sexually ambiguous), Chun Li (female) and Iceman (has penis made of ice.)

This really doesn't seem to do anything more positive than that Dead or Alive volleyball game, just seems to say "here's some tits but don't oggle them"

Or you could go with the Incredible Hulk, Juggernaut and BB Hood, but that's just cheating, and the little red riding hood girl does all the work anyway.

Er um. I'm not sure anyone sees how those are supposed to be connected. I wrote and erased some stuff about how maybe you're missing the (video's) joke here, but I wasn't sure if the game is marketed as being in any way "feminist." Doubt it, but certainly the developer doesn't sound extremely feminist:

"I don't get how big boobs showcased in a game are supposed to advance any sort of feminist video game agenda"

It isn't. The video's making fun of the fact that Skullgirls gets a pass from many "social justice warrior" types who usually pitch a fit about tits and ass in video games.

AKA an in-joke only the beardiest of trolls on 4chan's /v/ fucking cares about. I don't blame you for not understanding.

They make a lot of good points about the game sucking, but they made it overly political.


infinite zest - 2014-02-13

ah ok. This makes more sense. I thought it was along the same lines of the new Megaman kickstarter, where Megaman's now a girl and everyone who donated freaked out. Damn trolls.. should've seen that one coming :)

Megaman becoming a hideous ginger with nailbat should be the real outrage.

Anita Fucking Sarkesian.

Can't wait for their review of Fedora Tricks 2k14 http://www.poetv.com/video.php?vid=131494

hah, I didn't expect the magic of best gamers to work here, what the fuck...


Pillager - 2014-02-13

Don't worry, the right people got the joke...


Caminante Nocturno - 2014-02-13

Can't argue with that.

"Nights from that one Sega game no one actually ever played."

That's a five right there.

It's funny because it's true.

Bonus invisible stars for using Deadly Premonition music in the background.


fourthguy - 2014-02-14

The best of these reviews are the ones where they mix some salient points in with the trolling.


Riskbreaker - 2014-02-14

Pretty much everything they said here is true:

-This game is such an abysmal fighting game is not even worth reviewing
-The character designs are terrible
-Social justice warriors love to pick up their targets carefully. They went against Dragon's Crown, but didn't bother to touch games like God of War and it's many orgy scenes, or shit like this on
-In one of those stages there's a furry in the background. I rest my case

@Riskbreaker no love for the Killer Cuts track at the end?

Darn all of you for making all of the good points already. Still, it's a shame all that animation, was wasted on such a poorly conceived game. Battle Arena Toshinden had a more interesting cast, the fighting system is about the same though.
