about Sarah: could we stop?
look at the only female character, do I really need to point out what is wrong?
Incredible how devs like to screw their names for nothing, female characters that looks like their only function in the game is to look like a sex doll should be a thing of the past already,
At least put a character that doesn't rely on boobs, otherwise some bad reviews are about to struck, I assure you.

Thanks for posting your thoughts. I definitely see your point, and agree that women have much value beyond their appearance in the real world. That is absolutely true. Women are intelligent have made great contributions to our planet and we wouldn’t be here without them. Women are important regardless of what people think. Many but not all women, also have the freedom to express themselves as they see fit within their society’s rules.

In terms of her power beyond her surface appearance, Sarah is an important character in this City of Rott game and in the movie the game is based on. She is arguably one of the strongest characters in the game. The question then is, why isn’t she wearing the proper attire for the video game dress code? What message is this game sending to sensitive people?

This cartoon video game was made purely as a form of entertainment. And like all kinds of entertainment, it will not please everyone and it doesn’t have to. It includes a physically fit, attractive woman in my opinion (and there are many forms of attractive women), as well as bloody, gory cartoon action where characters smash the undead in the head with talking walkers, circular saws, energy blades, and dispatch monsters with weapons and guns. It is a make believe fantasy game of the imagination that takes place in a realm known as the Otherworld as explained in the game and movie, and made for those who enjoy this genre of entertainment. If will likely offend people who are sensitive to those things and those who want to control the freedom of expression in movies, video games, music, print, media and more.

Could Sarah be wearing a baggy set of pants and shirt and still kick @ss as she does in the game? Sure she could, but this isn’t that game. Her character’s appearance was inspired by Darkstalkers’ Felicia from Capcom games. A character representing a sleek feline, similar to the curves of Catwoman from the Batman comics and films. As entertainment, this game is not trying to act as a role model for those who may not be comfortable that Sarah and her human form appears in healthy shape.

To conclude, this beat ‘em up game was not intended to please everyone because it was not made for everyone. But like all forms of the freedom of expression, this game has the right to express itself as it does within reason. This is a game set in a fantasy realm, where the rules of the real world do not apply. In this make believe game, as long as she is dressed, Sarah doesn’t have to conform to a standardized appearance of the real world.

Nice thought out reply BlackArro. I agree with you. For every person who sees it one way, there is one who looks at it differently. dDo what you want to do and don't worry about it.

If you look to the right of the person's name on their forum posts, you can see a little icon that looks like a mouse. wsgroves has such an icon. If you mouse over the icon it shows that that person has purchased the game. Those are the people who's comments you should be most concerned with, as those people are your customers ;)

Except that both comments were from before the actual game release.
But you're right If he is selling and someone is willing to buy he should only listen to them and not even try to think in a greater spectrum.
It all falls under the excuse of freedom of expression ;)
Unsubbing as it's not going anywhere.
happy hunting zombies in bikinis.
