I am currently outside while posting this.
He is a dolt though. He didn't know what he was talking about, was condescending, self-righteous, tried to lay down rules by which people can and can't be respected. I don't think the mode looks awesome, but I'm not going to sit here and tell someone how to make their game in a respectable fashion, because that would make me a dolt.

To be fair, the way he was making it sound was 1,000 times worse than the reality.

And they didn't even checked Hatsuu post. All this dosn't seem that different from Yakuza hostess sections, yet this is getting a new level rage vomit.
Why SR4 are OK, because they are a parody and this game which, is a parody of Bond movies not?.

How can I disagree? I havent played the game. I do know from this very thread that the guy in question has misrepresented the game to make it sound a lot worse than it actually is in context, something that seems like a recurring them amongst feminists both male and female, at least in regards to videogame.
So yes, im sick of this "omg this is so offensive" crap come from men who have no real idea of feminist issues, that really only get uncomfortable about these kind of things in games because they are insecure about the medium itself and are constantly trying to prove
"videogames are for adults too". Miss me with this nonsense.
Its less the game is offensive, but more quirky japanese titles = bad. When i see videos from the guy about protecting lara croft, or why ivy in soul calibur is wearing strings of clothing ill resepect his opinion. Right about now, its seems its fine being derogatory towards women, long as its amongst established parameters.
Matt lees can fuck off into space
In a video game industry .... hell in a world where the entertainment industry is all types of sexist racist and a lot of other ists. People get upset over this is just normal.

He's a dolt because he misconstrued a fuck ton of stuff to fit his own agenda. It's already hard enough to get people to listen to a conversation about female representation in the medium without a jackass like this pulling these sensationalist stunts.

I love videogames, but I also love seeing people get worked up for reasons that sound stupid to me.
Thanks for the entertainment, guys.
Thanks for the entertainment, guys.
By the way, I can't wait for the game to come out, I like Suda's games a lot.

Wonderful response. Thanks.
Lot's of the threads discussing women in games and feminism almost immediately have someone come post insults towards both rather than discussing their problems in a tame and civil manner. The poster that I quoted who quoted another posters comment about social justice and feminism was on the first page before any real discussion had started.
The last part of your post, why shouldn't we? I'm a girl and so these things ARE personal. I think they're valid issues to discuss so that we can target the problems within the industry and try to change them.
Now I'm not saying I fully agree with Matt, because according to a poster in this thread a lot of what he said is incorrect however the gigolo mode does still have some issues like the X-ray glasses, DLC or not.
If you can't find a way to disagree, then why are you generalizing feminists?
This guy doesn't represent all feminists but for a second let's pretend everything in his video is true, do you agree with him or not? Why is it that you would think it's okay to objectify a women that way? Because that post was made before it was proven a lot of his claims are incorrect.
If we're going to point out trends, I notice a lot of men jump into feminism threads and completely dismiss them just based off the name rather than their actual point.

Male feminist faux-outrage over non-issue = views
I get upset because I want people to be treated equally , not just gender issues but race to.
Sorry me wanting cool shit fer erry body makes you mad.
I'm all for everyone to be treated equally
I'm still buying Killer is Dead. I'm a fan of quite a few of Suda's games, only really being disappointed by Lollipop.
I'm unaware of who Matt Lees is, but he seems like a smart individual, but I'm going to disagree with him at the moment.
even though equality is a fever dream in my honest opinion.

Ironic, considering Suda games generally do that.
(More of a sex thing than a race thing, but he's decent on that front too, parody wise).
I like you, I would love to see the same group of people jump on to this as well.
Not talking about Suda in particular, because the person I quoted made a wide generalization on why people get offended.

Have you even read the thread? every point matt lees made about the game has been debunked by a female XSEED employee.
And wanting cool shit for everyone has nothing to do with it. If you are going to critise something get your facts right.
This whole thing reminds me of this reading of bayonetta
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbihPTgAql4
that is fucking stupid as fuck to anyone who anyone who actually played the game and understood what was going on
And the joke is, bayonetta actually has some really offensive stuff in it that isnt mentioned ironically enough
I am just talkin bout yo' broad ass statement who get offended statement. I have my own thoughts on bayo , but this isn't the time nor the place.
That would be interesting.
What? A videogame not reflecting real life? What a crime against humanity.
What?

Wait, so why is this guy stupid? Because of the video in the OP? Or did something else come up...?

Everything in the video isnt true. Thats the point. Even if the game was deliberately being offensive and derogatory, it would still not invoke the level of hyperbolic criticism shown in the video.

Apart from the reviewer being wrong in judging the game from an optional mode, Suda 51 is a fucking pervy old man!
His recent games are shit! Or let me say all his games are shit EXCEPT Killer 7
I never liked him, nor liked his works. The only thing I liked is Killer 7 but him? Nah, he's a fucking old sick pervert.

EFA
is this what GAF has come to
just furiously insulting game creators (and one who at least tries to make unique games)
In a thread of 900+ posts? Aint nobody got time for that.
So what he said in the video isn't true? If that's the case I take back my statement, but I made my judgement based on the responses on the first page, which were dismissing it immediately, saying it wasn't a big deal, which I would assume was before anyone knew whether the contents were true or not.
Why not? Why should a game get away with completely objectifying a women? Just because you don't see it as much of an issue doesn't mean other's objections aren't valid.

So, what about the rest of the game? He blows it off just because of gigolo mode.
Yet you say nothing about the other side jumping to conclusions with no information, and they're the ones who turned out to be wrong.
Welcome to the new NeoGAF.
Get away....... Who are you the videogame police?
"I DON'T LIKE KILLER 7 BUT EVERYONE ELSE LIKES IT AN AM AFRAID OF BACKLASH SO I'LL SAY I DO TO JUST JUMP ON THE HATE BANWAGON"

Then create a reasonable dialogue about objectifying women. Reach out to creators. Ask gamers how they feel. Explain in honest terms why something may be offensive to some and offer alternatives.
That is not what is being done here. At the end of the day everything is offensive to someone. But the people who present their argument in reasonable terms are the ones worth listening to. The ones misrepresenting their points about a game and drowning the whole discussion with hyperbole arent.
umm what? Why would I? Read my post again. My response wasn't based on people saying the video in question was a lie.
I'm hoping this is sarcasm...

man, i can't deal with the suda hate about. almost as bad as the writer of this terribly inaccurate piece and his echo-chamber of a twitter feed (though i had to laugh at the PHIL FISH IS FUCKING AWESOME bit)
I thought this was something over nothing in the first place, and after reading the detailed response from the XSEED employee I feel like this guy either:
- Clearly doesn't understand the game, still unknown how much of the game he has played and what he actually has access to at this point (just an ambiguous "preview copy")
- Or purposefully misrepresented aspects of the game to drum up controversy for attention
It's a great post.TheSeks said:

If he had total creative control over this game, I bet you we would have an entirely different product.
Look at what Shadows of the Damned was conceptualized as before EA stepped in.
