Besesoth posted:The "SJW nonsense" being Koei Tecmo saying "we made a game that's kinda lovely about women and we don't want the backlash from releasing it in the US right now, but you can still totally get the English-language Asian edition". To clarify, DOAX is the volleyball spinoff that is only just barely not an porn game.

If your objective is to avoid jokes being made at your expense, trying to prevent that by doing something that gets the entire internet laughing at what a dumb thing you did probably is not "pretty well." Do you work there or something? Because you're literally the only person I've seen defending this as a rational or wise course of action. http://deadspin.com/welp-espn-shot-itself-in-the-dick-1798338890 ESPN's official explanation is that they'll change how they operate because *they are afraid of internet trolls*. Do you think that announcement will work out for them going forwards?

It's a spin-off of the "Dead or Alive" series of fighting game, which is/was mostly known for having a bunch of female characters that nerds like to wank over. Then they realised they might as well cut out the middleman and go right to making porn and get those sales at a fraction of the effort.

Gorilla Salad posted:I know I'm going to regret asking this, but why is a volleyball anime porn game called "dead or alive Xtreme"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_or_Alive_(series) It used to be a fighting game, and I think around 3? it introduced bouncing boob physics on the female characters. Then all the female characters were spun off into a beach volleyball game and the series leaned into "male gaze: the game" pretty hard. The funny part is that I think I heard someone say on these forums that the beach volleyball game is actually a really great volleyball game, but because of the creepiness around it they could never recommend it or even admit that they played it. I just buy it to read the articles

Besesoth posted:What's astonishing is that these nudniks still haven't caught on that they're being manipulated. See also: It wasn't even that they were expecting a backlash, it's that those games never sold that well in western markets, so Koei didn't want to pay to have it localized if they weren't gonna get their money back. Play Asia decided to drum up sales by creating a controversy out of nothing.

canyoneer posted:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_or_Alive_(series) I own the first one because at the time it was one of the better fighting games available on the Saturn. There is a slider for "breast bounce" in the options menu. It's a really good fighting game and DOA3 on the Xbox was pretty amazingly complicated, relying on the pressure sensitivity on the buttons to layer movesets and such, but it is supremely creepy. Don't be a creep, folks!

Unless Robert Lee's gimmick was dressing up as Robert E Lee to call games, ESPN could have easily "won" by doing nothing and nobody likely would have noticed.

No, it's pretty much just a part of his first name at this point. Roberty Lee.

What's funny is I remember one of the guys in charge of the franchise getting mad about the Source Filmmaker porn made of DOA characters and threatened to stop making the games if they made porn of their latest release. Stopped no one, obviously.
