Games that make you feel insulted to be the target audience

[-Drifter-]

Have you ever played, seen, or heard of a game that made you feel insulted to be the target audience? For example, Ninja Gaiden really pisses me off, because I feel like they think I'll buy the game simply because it full of blood, gore, and of course, ridiculously huge tits.
EDIT: Also, please state why. Don't just say the name of the game.

Er then why do you buy the game? Besides the insane difficulty that's really the only thing the game has going for it.

Prince of Persia, because now he looks like a reject form Jesus Christ Superstar.

Condemned 2, because the main character suffered the same fate that the above poster mentioned about the prince of persia (another casualty)

Who said I bought it? Being the target audience and actually buying it aren't the same things.

Which was an AWESOME movie.

Hrm. Let's see.

I can't remember the last time I was sensitive enough to be insulted by a game's subject matter.

There are a few but none that I can think of off hand.

Evony. Those damn ads piss me off.

 

[Curtmiester]

Damn, ninja'd.
Probably Gear of War 2. Not that it's a bad game, it just seem like it's built to please those dumb, violent, 16 year olds.

Damn, I went into this thinking Ninja Gaiden. Um...

Resident Evil, 5! They changed Jill into a blonde bimbo for American audiences, and the whole fight with her is nothing but fanservice!

Wow, did not know that. Then again I haven't paid attention to RE since RE2. I guess anything from temco would fall into this category. Or Bloodrayne.

This. They took one of very few legitimate female video game badasses who weren't tarted up for more than one game and turned her into a bleach-blonde, mind-controlled emogoth stereotype just so Billy Idol-Meets-Men in Black-Wannabe Wesker would look more diabolical or some nonsense like that.

Ah yes, we all have no excuse for not mentioning that one...manipulating us with our childhood memories...

I wonder if Fable franchise could be appropriately listed here. In fact any game that lists "many moral choices" but really targets us with the intent of offering only two endings. (either your the messiah or satans son)

Funny, I think I've seen that game as a 15 over here. or maybe it was Bikini Zombie Killers?

Pretty much any game where the sex appeal is the main feature.
Or where the premise is just flat-out stupid.

I shall second you on that, kind sir.

X Blades. That game sucks. Bad writing, bland gameplay, retarded characters, and a very cheap game in every meaning except in the monetary. Thank God I played the demo first, because my idiot man brain was about ready to fork over $40 for that rubbish; thinking (wrongly) that it might actually be a good game on top of having a nice ass.
