You’re wrong, it’s Soul Calibur 4.
Oh wait, you corrected yourself.
You’re both…
Oh wait, nevermind.
I just hope the “must have ridiculous breasts” lead artist’s “talent” doesn’t carry over into the rest of the game. I’m already on the fence for this one as it is, since I didn’t care for the new characters added in SC3, nor the wacky balance.
Back off, you’re not taking my incomparable wit and watering it down into a stillborn meme.
Big-breasted female characters in Japanese video games? OH NOES
I don’t actually care about breasts in video games one way or another, but I’ve always found that how crappy a game is tends to correlate with how gratuitously big the womens breasts are. Tomb Raider for example definitely went down hill as the heroine’s breasts got bigger.
Uh, yes? I could see the argument for DOA, but Namco has never used the OMG HUGE TITTIES angle to sell Soul Calibur games.
You’re motoring
What’s your price for flight
In finding mister right
You’ll be alright tonight
Agreed.
I liked DOA2, when it first came out. The series has gone downhill a fair bit since that, but still.
There’s probably a fair degree of irony in the fact that I was a teenager at this point and didn’t give a shit about the breasts, but adored the fighting engine (look, it was reasonably tailored to both beginners and experts, okay?).
I don’t know, the first thing I noticed about Soul Blade was Taki’s jiggliness. Of course, I was an undersexed teenager at the time rather than an undersexed adult.
SC3 sucked enough that I’m not really going to follow it. I have SC2, and it works on my 360, and my 360 will be around for several more years at least. SC2 is all I need for fighting games, ever.
Wouldn’t that be “know what you don’t like”?
No, they’ve left that mostly to the doujin artists.
That’s when you tell her that she has just judged a book by its cover. Everyone knows that Ivy is a graduate from Oxford! She had to strip her way through college! (Don’t judge her!)
I was thinking more along the lines of the main part of “attracting a mate” as a very recent species survival mechanism is more like putting cheese in a mousetrap. Whether man really reaps the rewards or not depends on how big of a pussy he is.
Yeah, well, I have Soul Calibur and a functional Dreamcast, so I haven’t felt the need to move on to SC2 yet. :)
Hey, did anyone ever beat the the “gun guy” with Mitsurugi back in Soul Edge? I only made it all the way there once, and I always wondered what happened if you won.
And… I found it on You Tube!
Seriously? That’s still my choice fighting game too… along with the demo for DoA. God, I’m so behind the times when it comes to console games.
That argument works less well when the girl you’re dating used to be a stripper.
Yikes! It’s funny how so many 2D games still look good to me, yet newer “early 3D”-era games look…well, fugly. It also probably explains why I never noticed Taki bouncing much since that’s the only game in the series I’ve played anywhere but at arcades, where I was too busy getting my ass kicked by “That One Guy Who’s Always In The Arcade And Knows Everyone’s Cheapest Moves By Heart”.
Was there ever any question?
Tell her they are toying with and examining contemporary notions of beauty and societal norms by making a point to embrace them so openly that it highlights the inequality inherent in the patriarchal system. The resulting absurd impression created in the audience will hold these antiquated practices and standards up to ridicule, and hopefully they will be discarded or changed. Like the Colbert Report, you like Stephen Colbert, don’t you baby? It’s pretty much the same thing.
