Look at these damn lines for DOAX! I swear MSFT has found the secret to break into Japan, appeal to sex crazed Japanese bussiness men.

It looks like a damn system launch, maybe they're giving free blow jobs with purchase or something, damn.

I don't even know why they bothered adding in gameplay at all, screw the volleyball, just let me feed the DOA babes strawberries and drip chocolate sauce on their bellies.

That reminds me, I need to pick up DOAX this week.

Seriously, I'd much rather not try to play a game and stare at polygon T&A at the same time.

It's too complicated.

I can see the American Commercial for the game:

"For hot bitches, there's no power greater than X "

Well what do you expect this is the closest thing to a dating simulation game for the XBox that has been made so far. Dating simulation game seems to equal real popular in Japan just look at how many were made for the Dreamcast.

You didn't see the commercial yet?

It's funny as hell.

A bunch of guys are sitting around watching two other guys play, and each of them looking like they are watching a porn flick.

Then near the end each guy slowly grabs a pillow and covers their crotch with it.

Very funny, but it's no secret why people are going to buy this game, and it shows from this commercial alone.

are you serious? damn, they're going right for the fucking gusto with that, it's like buy this shit, and you don't need a girlfriend.

I saw this "tissue sold seperatly" magazine ad posted online, I thought it was a prank at first, I was like no way Tecmo would do that. A few of their DOA2 ads for DC were just showing the boobs though, back in the old EGM's, and that was a straight fighter.

Yeah, I saw it before I left for work yesterday.

I was a bit surprised myself that Tecmo was being that blatant about what the game is "really" about.

Seems like they are proud of their work and are not ashamed to admit that this is simply porn in disguise.

Works for me though.

i m kinda hoping it plays well.
i enjoyed beachspikers alot.
in fact doax would rule if you could make your own
girls like beachspikers.
but i m just thinking its a t&a game.
if you do not buy this you are either a man with a very pissy girlfriend.
or you are just not a man.

OK serious question. Did M$ expect this or is this game selling out (and systems, cuz I know that there are less Xbox's in circulation than people in those lines in japan wink ). Oh and what exactly are the captions for those pics if anyone can read jap. because bablefish makes no sence to me. What is the US release date for this? I will at least have to rent it to piss my wife off, then buy it if she really hates it (or I really like it wink )

volleyball is such a shitty sport.

If I was in charge, I'd make it dodgeball. In bikinis too.

Fuck yeah, Rage of the Dragons eXtreme Dodge Ball. With the secret characters being Okuni and Kurenai.

Yeah, Tecmo. Two can play at that game.

I get the same vibes from people who avoid this game at all costs because of the sexy content...

Some people just seem soooo uptight about these things. It's fantasy, it's meant to be kinda "out there", and most of all it's meant to be fun.

I dunno why, but people seem so worried about the image they project - like if you admit that polygons can be sexy and it actually might be kinda fun (and silly) to build relationship between some fake but attractive girls in between some volleyball that you're some kind of sicko.

Loosen up, people - this isn't meant to be porno or even morally incorrect. It's clean (but sexy) fun.

saadd people....
that is really sad.

Looks like all you need is a couple skanks to pass off a POS game.

People are too easily sold by women.. and vice verca.

The important thing is that more XBOX systems are being bought as a result of this game.

Women are too easily sold by people? I don't see the "vice verca". wink

But again, I can't help but feel people are too uptight about this stuff to have fun with a silly idea and an interesting volleyball game...

thanks a lot :)

I think this avatar is rather cool too... for this is SNK's coolest character EVER made :D

BTW.. I am uptight about this stuff.. I will admit. I understand where you guys are coming from when you argue against it.. I have been there too...

But honestly, this kind of crap is rather degrading to honest/decent women.... I live on a more traditional role I guess... No one really sees that stuff like this ruins families..etc.
(not just games like this but advertising, internet crap...etc).. I have seen it ruin too many families lives. (sounds stupid.. I know.. but I am serious).
