>>383088582
Horizon zero dawn sold way more then this.

>>383088582
more top sellers have violence in them than sexy shit, violence sells vidya games.

Memes sell vidya.

In this case the meme was her ass. Could have been a crazy goat, a funny face, graphics...

There have been plenty of "sexy" games through history that didn't sold shit.

>>383089113
Play until you're back on the bunker and 9S guides you through the settings, one of the settings is the self destruct feature. Once you start the next quest and are back on the ground, hold in the left and right sticks for 2 seconds and you'll explode and be skirtless.

No it doesn't

I think the demo helped with sales. People got to experience the smooth combat.

Sex grabs attention, which can help spread awareness but not necessarily lead to a purchase. I buy action games based on the action, sex won't matter if the action looks like shit. Hell, too much sex pandering and I might get suspicious that the publisher is trying to distract me from the shit quality of the action.

>>383088582
If a game's not bad and it has nice tits or ass in it, then that's icing on the cake. If the only thing a game has going for it is the sex appeal, then it doesn't really interest me.

Applied to vydia? No, 17k is a drop in the ocean, there's also the fact that different ethnicities like different games, then you add genres to the mix and thats a brand new can of worms right there.

For a study similar to that to work in vydia you'd need a massive sample size from a lot of people from many countries from a variety of walks of life.

When does this game get fun?
I'm just getting started but this shit is a borefest, and since I'm not a weeb-virgin seeing her ass doesn't affect me in the slightest. Everything is so colorless, and it just feels like a generic hack n slash with waifu fapbait.
Should I continue playing this shit, or did I get memed?

>>383091043
>No, 17k is a drop

No, something <10k would be a drop in the ocean

There comes a point when you have to realize that some statistics are straight up fucking wrong. Like this one, sex has been selling all sorts of shit throughout eternity and isn't a baseless stereotype.

Sex sells, just depending on what you are selling it may have a negative impact. Like the karl's jr. commercials, axe deodorant among others however.

As far as videogames in the vast majority of genres they have, sex is definitely going to sell you on tomb raider, fighting games or your RPG games and even FPS games (looking at you Overwatch)

But wouldn't do so well in your sports games, racing games and tactical shooters.

Shieeettt,next thing you know you're gonna tell me it doesn't sell comic books or movies....or even comic book movies huh?

Sex doesnt make a game good. But it doesnt hinder it either. And it goes both ways. No body wants to play as a fat piece of shit. They want badass dudes doing badass shit with sexy ass ladies.

Its a balancing act. Look at DOA. Its a solid fighting game, but it will never be taken seriously because the developers focus too much on the sex appeal. Look at any Mario game, despite how you fags feel about Peach. They never over sexualize those games yet they are undenyably quality games everytime.

Bottomline. Sex sells only part of the way.

>>383097086
>>383097243

Just point people to Overwatch bro.

Game had a viral pornhub campaign and has the biggest porn market of any videogame ever created.

If you honestly don't think that the hot ass bitches of Overwatch didn't sell bazingas of copies you are a straight up hoot toot rooting rattlesnake I tell ya' what.

Widowmakers ass sold me a copy of overwatch, and I told my friends to get it by showing them pictures of her shiny purple grapefruit ass and that sold copies too.

Agreed. Which is why Rance is the best sex game ever made

>>383097835
Bullshit. Widowmakers ass may have sold you. But that isnt the reason it sold like hotcakes.

It sold like hotcakes because Blizzard is a goddamn competent developer. Its a fun as fuck game. People wouldve bought the fuck out of it anyway. But widowmakers ass offered a slew of very different popularity. It helped. But did not sell the game. The game sold the game.

I really think you doubt the value of sex sells.

Being that it had the hottest bitches in all the land in their game it branched out to a crowd who wouldn't even think of getting overwatch or picking it up. The games pornography presence is ridiculously immense, nothing could have predicted something of this magnitude.

Sex definitely sold a decent portion of Overwatch on top of having solid gameplay mechanics among other things.

>>383088582
Of course sex sells, everyone likes sex.

The real problem is games like senren kagura are mediocre as fuck but because anime tiddies when they don't deserve the sales. Give me good gameplay first, anime tiddies second.

No need. It's fine for it to be that way as long as it undermines feminism which alone has severely damaged western civilization. Video games like many other things are fantasy, let it remain that way.

Sex and memes. Blizzard hit the jackpot where they failed to capitalize on MOBA due to Valve, they took TF2's cartoony style and made a popular game with it. Now they both have two games that have fanbases overlapping and making crossover fanart.

>>383096565
I think she can be reasonably attractive in a modern world setting, if she had worn makeup, fixed her hair, and bathed.

Sex alone doesn't sell games. The market is oversaturated with lewd shitty games to the point nobody gives a fuck about a lewd game unless it's actually good. Good games with no sex appeal outsell shitty games with sex appeal. The real question is can sex make a good game sell even better?

>>383099413
You're missing my point. I agree with you. Sex did sell a sizable portion of those sales no doubt. But if the game had been garbage, it wouldnt have been a hit. It wouldve just been small time.

Sex will always sell at least some copies. But not millions of copies. Example. Lollipop Chainsaw, sexy cheerleader kills zombies. On paper it sounds perfect. But the game wasnt all that great, didnt sell great. Shadow of Collossus is generally considered a masterpiece, but barely anything remotely sexual about that game.

I'm just saying sex helps, but it won't soley make a game great.

>>383100469
People still buy nep and senran kagura, there is always a market for garbage.

>>383100469

For me this is the problem for most Japanese games recently. Too much sex appeal for some which makes even decent games ignored due to how similar it is to the other J games.

It ultimately depends on the game, but in most cases I'd say yes.

Its like a nice bonus to an already great experience. Think about it. Would The Witcher 3 still been regarded as a great game if it didnt have the nude sex scenes. Definitely, its rarely brought up as a selling point. But I certainly appreciated the addition. As did 99% of /v/.

Based on the artstyle it's probably from the TF2 or overwatch comics

>>383101375
TF2 artstyle looks like a refined indie game cgi.

Overwatch much closer resembles new disney in their artsyle and upon watching the cinematic, members of my family even thought it was Disney.

The same can't be said about TF2 as it clearly looks like a videogame instead of a movie like the overwatch cinematic.

>>383102294

This makes no sense to me. If you think the game looks fun, play it. Fuck what everyone else thinks. This is like saying you didnt wanna see Return of the Jedi because we all jerked it to slave Leia.

>>383102194
It was also a sequel to a fairly old series, whereas Automata was a stand alone game tied to another successful franchise.

>>383102981
>If you think the game looks fun, play it.
>Fuck what everyone else thinks.
It's not only that, it's also the fact that the game has shitloads of pointless sexualized content without any rhime or reason, it's just there to attract pathetic permavirgin NEETS. By buying the game, you basically confirm that you fall into this very category of pathetic losers and I actually have some self-respect and dignity I don't want to part with.

>>383103568
The only real fanservice is the characters body's themselves. Hell you don't even play as the two girls very long compared to the boy.

>>383103568
You need to reevaluate your thought process. None of this matters, unless you are one of those permavergin NEETs. Have the confidence to do whatever you like and don't hinder yourself because of what other people think.

Of course this doesn't apply to those you care about because hopefully they will let you know you are heading down the wrong path in certain situations. But for videogames it is a non issue, play whatever you want.

>>383103568
Okay but the bare ass is literally an optional selection. Developers are always going to pander. Some towards sex, some towards SJWs. There will literally never be a game that doesnt. You're depriving yourself based on a basic marketed demographic.

Videogames are a product produced and marketed towards certain audiences. Nier Automata is marketed towards kissless permavirgin NEETs with its over the top sex appeal. No matter which mental gymnastics you perform, this fact isn't going to change. When you buy a game such as this, you basically subscribe to the developer's opinion of you and his fanbase in general, there's a reason the meme "Taro knows his fanbase well" exists in the first place. For some people, this is not a big deal, but these people are probably the same kind of people who use food coupons or have bad personal hygiene, i.e. the people with no self respect.

That's your problem though. None of this is a big deal, videogames are not a big deal.

That isn't an argument though, nor evidence for one.

Are you arguing that Total War would not sell better with some sexualization? Are you arguing that Nier would have sold better without dat ass? Have you misunderstood the premise to mean that "only" sex sells and are presenting evidence to the contrary?

Okay. So you think its wrong for people to be entertained by something that might have sex appeal in it as well? Man that movie ALIEN was certainly shit because home girl was in her skimpys

Platnium is generally considered on of the leading developers in action games. But because they put a butt on one of the characters, you immediately think its pervy pandering garbage equivalent to smut novels?

>>383088582
The game didnt advertised itself with sex appeal at all. There wasnt a single promotional video or image that showed 2Bs butt, its all just fanarts. In comparsion games like MGS5 or FF15 advertised themselves with a lot more sex appeal.

Teenagers are who it works best on. Or did the original tomb raider games with horrible clunky controls and boring gameplay sell on its own merits?

Why do people spoil themselves nowadays for games they are playing? You are no different from people watching the game on YT.

>>383123745
I stayed on 4chan during the initial wave, and since I was interested in the game it was impossible to avoid spoilers, I do not know how shit will end though except this save deleting stuff.
First Nier also did this so I assumed that Automata is going to pull some weird shit at the end too even before I saw spoilers.

Prove yourself right, then i can prove you wrong

The massive misconception here is that sex means porn.

Porn sells, but that's not what "sex sells" means. "Sex sells" is referring to cigarette ads, car ads, alcohol ads, AXE body spray. "You will have sex if you buy our product.". Women will find you more attractive, you'll be a more interesting person, you'll have crazy orgies with multiple nubile, excited teens every weekend.

"Sex sells" means that they are literally selling you sex. They are saying that YOU could be fucking THIS hot slut RIGHT FUCKING NOW if you shelled out. Or, in the case of women, YOU could BE the hot slut getting fucked RIGHT NOW by some INCREDIBLY HANDSOME AND RICH MAN.

Porn sells sporadically, it's really about the extravagance of the porn. 2B's ass is an example because hot fucking jesus it's the perfect ass. It gets memed and advertised and gets you interested in the game. Sex sells reliably. If you can get people to believe that buying your product will result in sex, you will sell a billion units.

>>383089496
That's what these sorts of studies miss; the attractive woman isn't the thing selling the product. An ad of an attractive woman isn't "sex sells". What is selling is the fantasy of having sex with that woman, created by buying the product.

Yes, anon. Not enough black cock and Pepes for you.

Brain size and intelligence don't correlate. It's entirely possible that I have a small brain.

Sex is one of them.

While I agree with you, generally I think Sex won't nessecarily sell the product but gather interest in it.

I don't think any proper minded people will actually buy something in hopes the will see the character naked or engaging in romantic or lustful desires with the character but will generally get some personal benefits out of it, such as experiencing the character, seeing more of it, enjoying more of the ass, including fantasizing of connecting with it. But the thing selling the product would be the combined interest of everything else that convinces the person to fork over the cash, in some cases, the soundtrack, the gameplay, the direction/story, or even just the characters alone.

I highly doubt the sex side of it will SELL the product, but definately trigger an animalistic response in a person to look into it.

>>383128714
Putting attractive people in advertisements isn't about "if you buy it, women will have sex with you! Or so we want you to think".

It's empirically verified time and time again that you pay more attention to people you find attractive. If I have a product to sell you, I need you to notice it, and I need you to hear what I have to say about it. Hot women (or men, in fact it's usually men since women do most household spending) hold your interest long enough to hear the pitch.

That's all it is.

And the problem with people misinterpreting "sex sells" is it's what leads to shit like the arguments this thread is all about; sex doesn't SELL, sex just gets them listening to the sales pitch. If you don't have quality to sell, sex won't save you.

The way they did teeth in that game was really weird. It's like everyone was constantly trying to show them off as often as possible.

>>383088582

sex sells everything, pretty girls are in everything, from arthouse movies to commercials

>>383088582

how gaslit do you have to be to believe sex doesn't sell while its being weaponized against you on a daily basis?

he literally made a video defending cuckoldry, also accused his old business partner (Dick Masterson) of being a 'rape apologist' for thinking that women should have some responsibility for avoiding rape scenarios. Dick is making 100x the amount of patreon money maddox is now, and has been to court against him twice now because maddox is constantly trying to fuck with him maliciously

I think we'd all be a little bit happier if we could deal honestly with our sexuality like that. Humans like sex. We need sex. Having sexy stuff is not only okay, it's good.

That being said, it DOES get annoying when people on this board hail a game that barely goes beyond porn as the apex of video games. Cause it's not.
