*sigh* Just when I think women are finally becoming more respected, I see this. Of course it's natural that we will see scantily clad, disproportionate women in games for the sole purpose of being viewed as sex objects, but this is simply brainless and insulting.
Am I out of line for being offended by this?
I mean really, if it was for some lame porn game or something that's one thing, but Ninja Gaiden? Seriously...
Now I need to play Metroid Prime or Perfect Dark Zero to remind me of the women in gaming known for not only their good looks, but their brains and skills as well.
Well Melonie, I have to say that this is offensive. However, I tend to care less about having sixaxis controlled breast physics, and more on the gameplay. So, I do understand your point of view.

No, you're right. It's incredibly stupid. I had hoped Team Ninja would put their pervy days behind them when Tomonobu Itagaki left the company. I guess not.

I agree. It's as stupid as the whole DOA Extreme Beach Volleyball 2 REAL BREAST PHYSICS LAWL, WATCH THEM MOVE WHEN THE CHICK IS STANDING STILL!
I enjoy scantily clad well-endowed women in games about as much as I enjoy scantily clad men with a testosterone problem (although if the men is wearing more than just a loin cloth, he better be wearing half a car as armor.) Which it turns out is quite a bit. Don't read too far into that, it's because I have to compensate for things.
At any rate, the part that strikes me as being as stupid as a box of rocks is that they couldn't think of anything better to tie the sixaxis controls to. Lack. Of. Thinking.
And kittens better not die over this. There are plenty of games that have better opportunities that at least *tried* to not have useless control elements. For example, you can get two chicks to hook up in the Sims 3. Yeah.
what do you expect out of a studio whose lead dev/producer/whatever was a known misogynist. boobies be shakin lots. I guess it's one of those things you can gripe over or just look past to play the game, cause it is a really good game
Not that I'm trying to be Devil's Advocate here...I love Tomb Raider. But I think it's ironic you're mentioning the non positive image of NGS2 with the sixaxix boobs and you've got Laura crotch on your sig
