@Sevenizz lastly, i actually like the sexploitiveness of the characters of the sexy ass nuns. it's clearly based around the nunsploitation theme in many movies from the 70's and 80's which is cool to me. but i rather have had hitman spray some axe body spray on, walk outside his hotel room with nothing but a towel, and have all those "nuns" drop their guns and underwear and continue to have an orgy. for some reason, i think that would have been less controversial, but that's just me.
@Sevenizz furthermore, my comment has more to do with why "I" think the trailer is controversial. other's might be okay with the glamorization of breaking a woman's face but hate patent leather outfits. who am i to say what can and shouldn't offend others. the bottom line is people are getting offended regardless of the reason, and there's enough offended people to have this discussion.
@Sevenizz http://critdamage.blogspot.com.au/2012/05/quit-pretending-there-isnt-videogame.htmlhttp://www.kotaku.com.au/2012/05/hitman-absolution-the-army-of-girls-that-will-change-gaming/http://www.computerandvideogames.com/350079/features/hitman-trailer-exposes-the-weird-writhing-sexual-politics-inside-games/?site=cvg i hope you didn't have to wait long there. furthermore, if you just watched the trailer, you don't need an article to tell you that graphically cracking a woman face in is going cause some stirs. i haven't seen a woman face look like that since rihanna's.
@Sevenizz read my response...go ahead...do it now...i'll wait. ok? you'll notice i didn't say it was about the controversy is about the scantily dressed nuns either. and if you really think that the most controversial thing about the trailer is the context in relation to the series you either haven't watched the trailer or you're out you're mind...
it's not the game that's controversial, it's the trailer. i'm not offended in the least by the trailer but i can see why it's controversial. seeing a group of sexually and physically empowered women brutally beaten and graphically murdered single handedly by a this alpha male type makes me think chris brown edited this trailer.if mortal kombat advertised their game where the male characters were beating up on the female characters, making it look as if females are weaker characters without any context as to why. it would cause just as much controversy.
ok after watching the trailer now, i can see how its controversial. not because they're nuns, but because he's murdering and stomping the shit out of a group of women for 2 minutes without much context in the trailer. they should have hired me, because i could have called that one...
