I can't wait for the game, but I wouldn't have that thing on display in my home if they were giving it away for free.

My wife has given me grief for a number of statues and figures I've bought over the years. Even if I was single I wouldn't want that thing. I think I'll fuck with her when she gets home and tell her I ordered that set.

She's so far along in her second pregnancy that a reaction video would probably end up turning into a birthing video if I got her pissed worked up enough.

Apparently everyone at Deep Silver feels like a real boob right now.

Its becoming, yet again, a non-story of sexisim in videogames. Heres an article from Giant Bomb, or as I like to call it "Klepek's LiveJournal", from said resident white knight.

Yeah, it hasn't been confirmed, but it should, in a few days.

Dead Island can be a really good property for them, they don't need this kind of publicity.

Its getting people to talk about the game. I call that a "success".

If they wanted people to talk about their game, couldn't they have come up with some sort of arty, emotional commercial that has nothing to do with the actual gameplay or the game but grabs all sorts of media attention anyway?

They did. Last year (endish of '12) they released a CGI trailer akin to the first ones. Slow mo, emotional, sappy music. The works. Minus the media attention.

I saw a quote on Twitter from Justin McElroy that summed this up well:

Dudes, how about in 2013 if a bunch of women tell you something is fucked up for women, just like, believe them. Because you are a dude.
This should never have gotten out of a pitch meeting.

And another view from Ryan Davis

2013: when the gender of the mangled corpse trumps the fact that IT'S A MANGLED CORPSE. #youvecomealongwaybaby

No need for a face palm. I was referring to the first game's famous trailer. Never saw or heard anything about one you're the sequel.

Leave a head on it and make the torso look decomposed and it wouldn't have been a big deal. The way they designed the thing, they're clearly going for the 'heh heh, boobs' response from a young male demographic, which is a pretty disturbing reaction to go for with a mutilated, yet somehow incredibly intact-in-key-areas torso.
