Title: I'm speechless.
Post by: Grey Ninja on June 30, 2003, 12:34:11 PM
I am not saying I am entirely opposed to this, but it's seriously the lamest idea I have heard since Final Fantasy X-3.  Is this what we want video games to become?

This is so pathetic, I feel sorry for the people who are going to pay over $100 for a bikini.  Oh well, you know what they say, sex sells.

Talk about getting your target markets mixed up.  How many girls are even familiar with the DOA series?  And how many of them have bodies that make it worthwhile to own such a bikini?

Basically you have a product that is only suitable for attractive girls that uses a license that is only popular with male videogame geeks.  The amount of people who would buy such a product is like less than 1% unless some really big losers are going to buy it for... uh... fun.

Oppressor! Let the women celebrate their bodies!

Just so long as I get an invitation to the party.

Or maybe to make it fair they make little Speedo type swim-brief-things for the guys.

Outside of the price, i don't see anything particularly lame about this. i'll just say what i said at the GA forum; They unworn ones will probably be around $20. In any case, some hardcore DoA freaks will secretly eat this stuff up, but i don't see them selling until they drop the price to something reasonable.

Maybe when they add frontal jiggle for the guys? >_<

Seriously.  What girl is going to buy that?

PIAC, I would love Link pajamas.  You mean the normal green stuff or the crawfish style shirt you get after beating Wind Waker?
Title: RE: I'm speechless.
Post by: PIAC on July 01, 2003, 12:53:44 AM
his nice islander duds ofcourse, they are so styleish, i wouldn't mind a funky blue overall/red shirt and hat combination either (or green...)
Title: RE: I'm speechless.
Post by: Termin8Anakin on July 01, 2003, 05:01:30 AM
of course, you'd have to have his tiny little hands, feet, and a massive head to look good in them.
Plus, you have to have blonde 'messed-up-from-sleep' hair, and be a cartoon character as well, so that makes Link the only person really able to wear them.

Haha.

Post by: Hostile Creation on July 01, 2003, 07:22:22 AM
He looks damn good in 'em, though

I'd still like an outfit like that.  And I have easily messupable blond hair, so I'm partway there.  Now all I need is head expansion surgery.

Theres also another lame idea, just as worse in the pipeworks.
You know how M$ are rumored to port US NTSC games to Japan without converting software for their language, because the rumor is M$ are giving up in the Japan market due to ridiculous sales.
Whats worse is that Counterstrike (being one of the US territory games) being ported for Japan is somewhat a lame idea in my opinion.
I have yet met 1 solitairy gamer who has stated they will actually play Xbox version over PC version.
Is it totally stupidity when M$ say the Xbox is a hardcore gamer's console?
Counterstrike is extremely popular on PC but to think or make claims that Japanese gamers will chose the Xbox version with a controller over the PC version is somewhat extremely optimistic?

Forgive me for using an example of another stupid idea rather than bikini's or cringe, possibly cheap after shave endorced with Master Chief's name on it.

Ah yes but your forgetting. When the DOA series is represented in a positive light, were always "reminded" that becuase the first two games were on Playstation its really a Playstation series. So its playstations.

Does that make any sense? You bet it doesn't.

NOOOOOOOO!!

*Gets a mental image of horny pre-teen Xbox fanboys buying these, realizing no one wants to go out with them, so they can't give them to anybody, so they themselves start wearing them on beaches*

The prices on those arent bad at all. My wife just bought a few that were over $200 a piece.

Ninja, do these women offend you? It sure seems that way.

It is stuff like this that make me embarrassed to like video games...

Just another bikini...the kind of merch that goes with DOA really...not that big a deal.  Good idea I suppose.

CubeCanuck: It seems like he just thinks it's a stupid idea. I don't really care about the whole ordeal, though- I really doubt anyone's going to come up to me on the street and bash gaming just because of these bikinis. Meh.
