More than one of you might of noticed that a lot of games that are released recently (and some in the past) that have a female character who you control or is a side character in that game, seem to be really good looking with large breasts. I’ve never played a game where you control a ugly flat-chested character with a large backside, breaks wind, scratches her butt or is more than a little overweight.
Take the most obvious offender in this case Tomb Raider. Here we have a posh mid twenties character with nice "features" and, no matter what the whether, always wears shorts or a tight top. You have really sad people searching the web for nude cheats and then you have even sadder people who have set up whole web pages dedicated to her. HELLO, SHE’S NOT REAL!
Fear Effect 2 also suffers from "If the lead female characters have big assets this will make the game sell better but make the person buying it look like a perve!" (if you don’t know what I mean take a look at the front cover) You have two female characters with skin tight swimsuits on showing a large cleavage. Yeah, right, that’s typical secret agent behaviour!
You get people who drop comments about computer games characters like when people play Tekken they like to play as Lin in her school uniform or that Dead or Alive is sooooo good just because the female characters chest "bounce"!!
I’m sorry but it’s these kinds of games that make the rest of the male gaming community look like a bunch of perves who would rather play Tomb Raider and try to get the best "camera angle" than actually get a real girlfriend. Some of the these game are actually good but don’t you feel slightly weird when you pick up a game with a semi-naked Lara Croft on the front cover and actually hand it over to a woman standing behind the counter who gives you a "your buying this for more than the game play" look as she swipes the bar code under the reading after giving the cover a quick glance.
Some of you may be a little more mature and actually buy the game on terms of good reviews and so forth but it just really annoys me that computer game developers think that a "heavily gifted" female character will make a game sell better.

Ah, but you wouldn't want to play with a fat, ugly bird in real life, so why would a game be any different?!
Even my most depraved fantasy doesn't include fat, ugly women!
