Gamers vs. Booth Babes, Give Us What We Really Want

RipTen's Danielle Cantrell writes: "I’m going to preface this writeup by clarifying that E3 2010 was my first time attending as press, and that I still spent a large portion of my time on the show floor with the rest of the non press attendees. So the opinions you are about to read are given from the perspective of the average convention goer who isn’t waltzed to the front of a VIP line for behind-closed-doors access.

Alright, now that I’ve got that out of the way..."

It's true. And honestly how awkward must the females feel prancing around in skimpy clothes simply as eye candy.

FrankDaTank5078d ago

i'm pretty sure the cash money makes up for the awkwardness and uncomfortableness of flirting with unattractive men. strippers do it every day.

Drjft5078d ago

I am sure it would, I bet they get paid a fortune, I'd personally find it awkward to prance around in a tea-towel sized shirt and g-string, which should go without saying

:suspiciouseyes:

FrankDaTank5078d ago

@drjft please don't say those words in reference to yourself ever again. i vomited in my mouth. thnx

Nostradavis5078d ago

I thought this was going to be another "all men want to look at is boobs" post but I actually give her credit for not going that route.

bfenty5078d ago

one thing i hate, as a guy, is feeling like i'm being manipulated. It's like game companies are saying "this game sucks, but you won't notice because of the girl standing out front". And I do find that insulting.

sorceror1715078d ago

...is how many guys can be manipulated like that.

oh boy, mods do something already!!, this aint quality news, n4g is over flooded with boobs articles. thats exactly what i meant in my previous comment. gamers dont have to be horny all the time. well i still remember good old days when sex wasnt in the game, and many old classics still beat crap out of nowadays games interms of gameplay and challenge, which reminds me, thank god for demon souls.

wiggles5078d ago

Did you actually read the article? It's saying everything you said...that sex shouldn't be as heavily involved in the industry as it currently is..

FrankDaTank5078d ago

read? i doubt he did. so much of this community is filled with people who do little more than report the heck out of things without ever reading them.

xg-ei8ht5078d ago

So because your a gamer, your unattractive. ROFL.

I don't think so.

The woman get paid, they want the work. It's quite simple really.

Great news it shows that Nintendo intends to continue developing ports of AAA games to its next gen platform

H92d ago

Buying studios from embracer now is a great deal, they must be dirt cheap at this point, Nintendo is a opportunist, they wait until someone fall so they get their best deal

OtterX2d ago

That is some serious brain gymnastics you have going on there. 🤔

H92d ago

I didn't do any gymnastics I can assure you, honestly I don't know why you think that, not hating I seriously don't see why you think that

ZeekQuattro2d ago

Yeah I don't know where that came from. It's rare for Nintendo to flat out aquire studios. Guess they were trying to be edgy but why flex on this studio. 🤣

Kneetos1d 9h ago

At least they are safer from layoffs with Nintendo then any other company

banger882d ago

I hope someone buys Piranha Bytes, their future isn't looking good right now. I love their RPGs, they're janky as f***, but they have heart and soul.

Relientk772d ago

Nintendo saw the Mortal Kombat 1 Switch port and were like, "Yeah, these guys are worth acquiring."

You can't make this crap up lol

Profchaos2d ago

Mortal Kombat 1 was never going to port well I'm sure they told wb it wasn't going to work but wb wants that sweet sweet 140 million install base

In the end wb approved the project cleared the milestones and allowed the product to release

SonOfOsiris2d ago

Yeah this guys ported MK11 which is great, Hogwarts Legacy which is great, and MK1 is now ok, play it every day

F*** AI

Two trillion dollar company that just can't wait to put as many people possible out of work as fast as possible.

It feels like every single thing they do is making gaming worse and destroying the industry.

....you know it takes people to program the AI.... right? It isnt like it is sentient. We haven't reach skynet level of situation or anywhere close to the matrix just yet.

That's next Thursday.

Einhander19721d 22h ago (Edited 1d 21h ago )

It takes a people to program the AI then that AI is used for who knows how many games eliminating countless jobs which only grows as AI is used for more and more game creation functions.

What you're saying is so ridiculously short sighted and truly larking any kind of understanding and foresight.

Why all the hate? Im actually excited about this! Always wanted this kind of immersion, and an AI companion with me all the time helping me out knowing the status of my skills/inventory/progress and giving me tips on the best approach or how to craft something specific is game changing for the industry.

Hate all you want about AI, but this is just the start and I can see the potential already. You wont be complaining in the next 5-10 years about this, but rather complain if a game hasn’t implemented it.

MrDead2d ago

Yes we can't wait for the work of others to be used without the need to pay them so that MS can profit even more from the people they fire.

I_am_Batman2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

There is no chance I'd ever use something like this, especially if it's not part of the core game design, but a layer on top of it. It's way too much handholding. Many games already feel like busy work, because they don't let the player figure things out on their own. Having a real-time interactive guide defeats the purpose of playing the game in the first place in my opinion.

If this were to become the standard like you predict, we'll see more and more video games get away with bad design, because people will just be used to ask for help from the AI companion anyway.

Number1TailzFan2d ago

Well Nintendo don't need this with some of their games these days, with invincible characters, items, easy bosses etc.. they do the hand holding built in

helicoptergirl2d ago

Takes "hand holding" in games to a whole new level.
