Do you play computer games, then please help.
 

I dont want to annoy people, but i really need help for my dissertation. Basically i need as many people as possible to fill in a short questionnaire about hyper-sexual female characters in games ( basically females that have an unrealistic body shape and are can be wearing revelaing clothes, think of lara croft as an example)

So if you could please help it would be great. It can be found here.

I hate computer games makes me want to rip something apart,their so annoying!

Done.

Oh that was a quick reply from me :|

I'm doing the thingy now ..

Sorry !

Done =]

I liked the survey xxx

I still hate Alyx so much.
She annoys the hell out of me.
Though she wasn't in Hl2 too much, thank god.

done.

ha ha though its not ment to be about the characters personality, more there body shapes :P

Thanks everyone

I know xDD, but she is annoying.
I voted for her anyway because the other one is like. Right. There are people who look like that?

it was a good example of what hyersexuality is. The steryotypical veiwpoint is that females dont like to play a character like that and that males do because they can drool all over it. Thats what my dissertaion is trying to achive, to see if it is the steryotypical veiw or if it isnt.

Although it would be funny if someone did look like that. but in soul caliber, all the girls seem to have thier chest a bit too big.

Yup, it's really stupid.
I mean, personally, I wouldn't want to play as someone I don't look like/have nothing in common with.
See, Alyx (even though she's SO annoying) is a normal girl. Normal size, shape, has clothes that I could have, and I could possibly do what she does. (If I was in that situation, anyway).

Whereas the otherone is like. Right, i'd wander around killing people like that, really. ><

Sory, I totally hijacked your thread. xD

done :)

I wish video games would let me play as a five headed monster that gets to eat people.

I know that has nothing to do with the survey but I felt as if everyone should know that. And I filled it in.

Done, and I wouldn't mind linking a few of my guy friends to it for you if that's okay :)

I'm doing it... and I am a guy... o.o

Done :)

is character B ivy from that fighting game the name of which I forget? she has a whip that turning into a sword if I remember correctly...


done the survey. might make my boyfriend do it later for you too :)

Character B is Ivy from Soul Calibur...

that's what the game was lol, could rememebr it's name at all...

thanks everyone, the more people the better :)

Am linking to a couple of guy friends for you :]

Last time I saw Alyx I got her killed by zombies because I wasn't paying attention. Now I'm triggered for guilt and mental anguish. Someone should come out with a line of Alyx jeans

xD.
I waited to see how long it would take Alyx to die.
It was fun.

I'm the one who has written a small essay ;-)

I know its anonomous, but I feel like identifying myself just so you know who to ask if you didn't understand anything I wrote in my mini essay ;-)

Wait, what?

Alyx can die???


I provided a small little comparison of quite a few games for the last question... Will post it here to add to any discussion:

Doneded

when doing my game research, there is just one out, cant recall the name, but you kill zombies while wearing a bikini. :/

Resident Evil?
It isn't left4dead...

*thinks*

Isn't there a hosue of the dead game comming out soon a modern one)?

Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie its called, the have a vollyball game too.

Yeah, though im not sure if i will buy it or not, couldnt even complete the other ones. i suck at killing them.

Yes - in the segment where Alyx and Gordon are underground fighting zombies there is a place Alyx can get whacked if your not paying attention. I think there are a couple other places that can happen as well.


[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqvdwuxOD5U&feature=related"]YouTube - Alyx can die?[/ame]

Done. :)

Ahhh okay :-)

I automatically assumed she was always invincible :-)

That's one reason why I hated her until I made her die ^_^

I think that's a pretty bad generalisation, really. You're saying that most sci-fi/fantasy fans want to perv over their characters.
Anyway, there are plenty of games out there with sexualised female characters that aren't sci-fi or fantasy. For example, Tomb Raider, Grand Theft Auto, Prince of Persia (the more recent ones, anyway) and most fighting games. And then there are some games that completely rely on sexualisation to sell anything, like those volleyball games.

I filled in the questionnaire. I said that I don't mind skimpy outfits being in the games so long as they're optional, so I can just not use them.

Will link some friends to this. Hope it helps you.

I got my boyfriend to do it for you.
I apologise if any of his answers are really hostile.
I'll kill him later.

thanks its starting to shape up very nicely. il let you know what my conclusions are from the research.

Done the computer games thing...

Done, quite amusing little survey
