news Team Ninja studio head says DOA 5's female depiction is cultural - Page 3

quote Krantos

It's the "it's our culture!" excuse.

Basically, they're saying they don't have to change because it's their culture. That's fine, but we don't have to like it. Nor buy it. And we don't have to shut up about it.

That's our culture.

Cuts both ways Hayashi-san.

Boooooooooooo!!!! Then I definently don't want that as my culture!!!! <_<

Well everyone is entitled to their opinion. But at the end of the day I though his & many others against Hayashi's was stupid. And I'm pissed that I live in a country where people get all defensive over shit like that.


SO THERE IS MY OPINION!!!!!!!!!!!! <_

Your right. But I think he's been asked that question by non Japanese interviewers so much that he just got mad. I'm not surprised because as you said that's probably what Itagaki would've did.

And I admit he shouldn't have been so defensive about it, but if people continuously keep asking that as if they didn't know since the beginging that one of the most important parts of the game is to make them as hot & beautiful as they could. So I really don't blame him at all.

And when Itagaki was around that was the #1 thing to do. But now they are really paying attention to making the gameplay awsome & then make the girls look beautiful like real women even though some of them have big boobs. But at least they aren't total pervs about it.

And not all the girls have ridiculously big boobs. Lei Fang & Christie have downsized. And they surprisingly didn't destro Sarah with huge ones either.

And as for the costumes not all of them are totally revealing. Look at the two suits Christie has,Kokoro's kimono,Lisa's scientist outfit,Tina's outfit with the beanie, Kasumi & Ayane's black ninja outfits,Kasumi's Kimono,Ayanes costume with the white hat, & pretty much all of Hitomi's costumes so far excluding the swimsuit. And those are only the new ones.

See people always pay more attention to every revealing costume the girls where that they don't even pay attention to the less revealing costumes tgey are trying to sh

And Take a look at Mila! I think they are now trying there best not to make all tbe girls over sexualized.

I have to agree with the people who say that this is purely American idiocy, although in truth it's less American idiocy and more Western Cultural idiocy.

See, in most places in the West, people will buy big, useless diamonds made with slave labor in Africa, not lose a wink of sleep over it. They will beat each other up and trample each other to get the latest iCrap, made from slave labor in China, and consider it business as usual. They will beat and kill people simply to be the first person in a store on the day of a big sale, and not bat an eyelash. They will shoot each other over a pair of new shoes, and blame the manufacturer for hyping the shoes up.

But show a little skin on something that looks to be a female...these sub-humans, these monsters, will start crying moral offense, even though they do a hundred things every day that hurt people more than merely looking at scantily clad women.

That is the age we live in now: it's no longer the individual's responsibility to interpret data, it's the creator's responsibility to cater to each and every person in the world, and to try not to make anything that is too offensive to anyone, even if the standards of offense are ridiculous. Untalented know nothings blather on about their "right" to tell other people what to make, and how they can make it, with said other people's own time and money. Shadow is so much prized over substance that you can get more time for pictures of a crime than for committing said crime itself.

Honestly, I wish Team Ninja (and everyone who makes these kinds of games) would quit apologizing to these dipshits giving their extreme chivalry rants. They will always exist, they will never be satisfied, period. So don't bother. And here's a protip for them (and the wannabe White Knights as well): logical, reasonable adults, fully understand that one person or group's fantasy portrayal of an entity is not a prescriptive description of said entity. IE there's a difference between something in a video game, and something in real life. These people on the extreme chivalry kick - they're on it because a) they want the power trip of saying they influenced design decisions, without actually having any talent to do their own thing, and b) they're overcompensating for being pieces of shit, and this is the one thing they can easily do to attempt this. Anyone who has ever made the observation that no man is more critical of his daughter's taste in men than the man who is a borderline rapist himself should see this.

In closing, good luck Team Ninja, hope to see at least one FG crossover done right this year (cause SFxT sure as hell didn't do it), thanks.

That has got to be one of the most idiotic and BS posts I have ever read. First of all, no one is actually complaining. Second, your a very sad and paranoid little man if you think there are large groups of people who are desperate for attention, and that they're trying to find it by influencing the game's industry.

Some logical, reasonable adults don't like the kind of stuff that's in this game, and so they might give their opinions on it. But honestly, who here is actually complaining? Where are the protesters against this game? There are none. I guessed you were talking crap through out your whole post, but the last line about the rapist was the last nail in the coffin.

Really, stop trying to sound intelligent and reasonable by throwing around random BS that makes no sense, and stop being such a paranoid mess.

I'm an American, I LOVE this game and I don't want anything to change, in fact I WANT more skin and bigger bouncing boobs... Any one who's against this aren't true Americans!! KUDOS to Hayashi for standing up for what he believes in...
