The same goes for the trailers and screenshots released for the third game. Volition/THQ hired models to give "Rimjob" car washes at E3 this year. Which, as I’ve said before, offends both male and female gamers: you’re telling one you think of them as little more than animals driven by sexual urges and the other you’re telling them that they only matter as “transporters for breasts” as Walker so delicately puts it. All it does say is that you feel the need to associate your game with boobies to get male gamers to buy it and that you don’t care if you offend or alienate female gamers. Walker makes the excellent point that hiring porn stars and booth babes to shill your game sends many messages, none of which is that your game is any good or worth playing. However we both take large exception to the way this game series is marketed and would like to see it change. RPS’s Walker does too, well I don’t know about the cackling part, but he does enjoy the game despite finding some of the same faults as I do with the game. Now, don’t let these relatively few gripes fool you, I absolutely love the game and cackle gleefully every night that I play it. Do you think we'd ever see a man in a similar costume and situations being used as promotional material for a game? Honestly, this is a side effect I can really get behind with one exception: if my boss is going to want stripper poles (and strippers to go on them) in her gang hideout, at least give us the bloody option of having male strippers (heck give us that option anyways, for the gay male bosses out there too).Ī woman in a sexy nurse costume is blasted out of a cannon in the Red Light district. I figure this is a side effect of the developers writing a single story, a single set of dialogue and screenplay, based off of the idea of the boss being male and then just subbing in female bodies and voice acting if the player choses to be a woman. While the boss character is always shown as a whole person, even if they’re not the one being active in the frame, Shaundi is frequently reduced to just a pair of breasts that the boss talks at or a curvaceous ass that gets used to get the boss’s (and the presumed hetero male gamer’s) attention in a scene (because why else would you pay attention to what a woman is saying /snark). It really is a novel experience to see the dichotomy of active subject and passive, sexual object played out between two women in a cut scene. It can actually be quite jarring to play through her storyline as a female boss because the boss character is never viewed as a sexual object through the male gaze, but Shaundi almost constantly is. Yup, Shaundi, the one woman in the gang’s leadership (other than the boss, if you happen to play as a female boss). Of your four lieutenants, only one of them is overtly sexualized and I’ll give you one guess who it is. It would be refreshing and awesome, in the third game, to see them go out on this limb to at least poke fun at the game industry’s complete aversion to scantily and sexily clad men (and no, Kratos and Conan in loincloths don’t count… they weren’t being sexualized, they were having their strength and ferocity exaggerated).Ī screenshot from Saints Row: the Third shows that the same male=clothed female=nearly naked dichotomy that can be seen in Saints Row 2Īnyhoo, as I was saying, there’s a lopsidedness in the game when it comes to characters being sexualized. A gang of pimps and ho’s is quite alright though *sigh*. It must go just a little too far out of their comfort zone of parodying and making fun of sex workers to have a significant presence of overtly sexualized men. Where are all the men in banana hammocks and chaps, hmm? Surely they would fit in quite well with the rest of the game’s irreverent sexual humor? Guess that’s just pushing it a little too far for them. The most scantily dressed men I’ve come across are the male joggers who go running without a shirt on, which granted, are comparable to the female joggers, but are definitely not comparable to the multitude of female strippers and hookers, or the preponderance of female pedestrians who have a penchant for fishnets. There are half-naked and sexily clad women everywhere in the game, but rarely do you ever seen any similarly (un)clothed men. The one problem that keeps nagging at me as I re-play my way through Saints Row 2 is that there is some seriously lopsided sexualization going on.
