People who feel offended by a game like Fat Princess are really pathetic. Why do anyone listen do these people?

Real gamer 4 life5767d ago

I am really looking forward to fat princess, Its going to be really fun. :)

leila015767d ago

I don't see the issue here. Seriously, how can anyone be offended by this game?

solidt125767d ago

I can't wait to defend big momma from the opposing team.

Ghoul5767d ago

well if you dont have fat women in your game and only supermodels
expect some female groups to blame you for sexualising steroetypes and disrespecting the variaty of woman bodys.

if you have fat women you get blamed for discrimitating fat woman.

:)

IdleLeeSiuLung5767d ago

Problem here is people always complain, but nobody says how you should portray them in games. How do you satisfy the feminists? Perhaps we should just completely remove women from games?

Hububla5767d ago

Maybe if they changed it to bale mic princess and you have to get her to a bathroom so she can gain her health back they will shutup?

There is a difference between a feminist and a whiner. A Feminist has a valid point and states it, while a whiner, well whines. So far everyone complaining about this game has been a whiner.

StephanieBBB5767d ago

Exactly! The same thing happend to RE5 when this whole "black zombies issue" appeared. Give one valid point to why the zombies in an poor African town should't be black? There is none, It's just beyond retarded!

We live in an democracy and that means that if one person dosn't like donuts, that dosn't mean that WE ALL should stop liking donuts. It's so immature and selfish to think that your statement is the only one that counts. By the looks of it I must say that alot of the people are thinking like that. Stop being such cöckblockers and take one for the focking team goddamnit!

Atomic5767d ago

oh really , please tell me what feminists do beside whining?

Shadow Flare5767d ago (Edited 5767d ago )

Dare i say, because they are fat, or THINK they are fat themselves, and don't like the idea of a fat princess being the butt of a joke, because they somehow feel it hits back at them? Ever hear guys complain that Dr. Robotnik had a belly as circular as the xbox 1 controller? Fat Princess is just supposed to be a fun game, a game where you SAVE the princess. Not all games have to feature slim characters. Just feel better about yourselves in general and then you won't feel so compelled to moan about stupid things like this.

kewlkat0075767d ago (Edited 5767d ago )

That's just that. Plenty other examples out there.

there was the same with some movies like "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" and that other movie "Shallow Hal"

DarkBlade5767d ago

Why don't everyone sit down and play their game. If you don't like it, don't buy it. Don't start a riot.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow3d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo1822d ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie1d 21h ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow1d 20h ago (Edited 1d 20h ago )

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

Take a nap, conspiracies are rotting your brain.

ApocalypseShadow22h ago

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.

Hereandthere1d 12h ago

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

ApocalypseShadow22h ago

At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.

Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

Cockney17h ago

They chose well, Sony gave them the backing to pursue their dreams with no restrictions even tho their games especially dreams have very niche appeal. Media molecule and Sony deserve respect for this in an age of risk averse publishing.

RNTody2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno2d ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Inverno2d ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

fsfsxii1d 17h ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno1d 16h ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
