Square's one of my favorite punching bags, but I'm honestly fine with their take on Batman. Probably because they haven't figured out how to give action figures dialogue. It's ridiculously elaborate, but that was how Square did things even when they were sane. Cecil and Golbez wore layered...

Personally I like the jacket and pants look. Skimpy costumes look very different between drawn mediums and real life like Batman in bright blue tights. There is also the practical aspect where being more covered and padded is easier on the stuntwoman and might just lead to better fight scenes...

Was Jim quoting Jagi or am I reading too deep into the choice of game footage?

While variety is good and all, are women themselves interested in playing as such characters? In large numbers that would affect the industry, I mean. I don't recall Vertigo having a strong female following. In fact, while I know girls who dig fighting games and their casts, I have yet to run...

X-men vs Street Fighter. One background has Blanka in it, but if Charlie is fighting there, Blanka disappears. Because they referenced the movie where Charlie and Blanka are the same person. Also the movie did spawn its own SF video game and a 26 episode cartoon, so it wasn't an easy presence...

Good lord, as nice as it is to see a big company get nailed, I hope the Nyan Cat people don't win. Not only is their creation mostly a copyrighted food product, it only got popular by borrowing the song from a different meme. That's like me taking the dancing banana meme, speeding up "Peanut...

You forget those games were side-scrollers so the protagonists were diminutive for gameplay reasons. The enemies and especially bosses made the Dragon's Crown lineup look sensible. Brigan and Odin were more hulked out than the Fighter, Raijin was further exaggerated and flaunting than the...

But... the Elf looks near-identical to the Dead or Alive girls where Jim dedicated an entire video to disapproving their aesthetics. It does show how just how much not trying objectify a design alters its image, though. Not to mention how ironically adding clothes can make it sexier to some...

To be fair if they were based on women who could fight in reality, we'd just make fun of them harder. <youtube=AX0Ak9fmX8w> We'd even have internet comedy legend Seanbaby giving Japan whaling tips.

Long time fan of both Jim and Silent Hill, here to mostly disagree. I think Book of Memories is getting this knee-jerk reaction because anything that strays from the mood established by previous Silent Hills hasn't fared well in the series. And in a series best known for horror, mood means a...
