I haven't played it, but adam sessler mentions in his GoW ascension review that you stomp a woman's face into mush and you get a trophy afterwards called "bros before hoes". I'm convinced these devs are so desperate for any kind of buzz they resort to this kind of BS because they know the feminists will cause a sh!tstorm on the internets over this.

the thing in mgs that bugged me is how they make you sit through a huge load screen then snake starts talking shyt and berates you for being impatient and acts all snotty about how long it takes to get into the game.

yeah, like i'm the a$$hole  here.

Lol, Kratos is a believer in equalism: neither race, sexual orientation, religion or gender stop him from executing his wrath. So nope, Kratos is a fundamental equalist (at least where violence is concerned).

Don't see how it would be much different from all the crap he's been doing to males and females throughout the course of the games other than the trophy name, which are all supposed to be witty crap but fail. It'll probably help from a marketing point of view as the people that would buy the game don't give a damn, and the people that would complain about it would end up giving it free publicity. Thus it's possible they did it intentionally. I find this part somewhat annoying, but the game portion itself I think is perfectly fine for a GoW game.

If women want equal rights that bad, they should be able to take an ass kicking as well as any man.

OH yeah, lets make this thread go places people.

I don't understand why they are making a big deal out of this, all the crazy things Kratos does in this game and a trophy name and killing a woman is what sets people off?

It's the same mentality people have when you flash tittays at them, it's disgusting and morally questionable.

But slaughtering people by the thousands is perfectly ok.

The only person that had a problem with it was Sessler right? It is not much of a controversy, It is just one male that is pretty girly himself having a problem with it.

Why would anyone care about Kratos stomping a monster face or even some random person's face at this point? Right, because it Adam Sessler.

If you don't get it the "woman" in the trophy is related to is this.....

When he said am I missing something I assume he meant that about the first four posts in the thread.

Kratos fights and kills a woman who is as strong as he is. Nothing wrong there. "Bros before Hoes" trophy was thought up by a woman developer at Sony Santa Monica. The name of the trophy is stupid, but it's not a big deal. The Sess just can't handle the stress.

Has Kratos done worst ? .... Lets take a look at GOW3.

  • Plunge his thumbs into a guys eyes, snap his neck and throw him off a cliff [spoiler] Poseidon [/spoiler]
  • Rip a guy's head straight off his body. [spoiler] Helios [/spoiler]
  • Snap a woman's neck like toothpick [spoiler] Hera [/spoiler]
  • Make a guys skull into jelly [spoiler] Hercules [/spoiler]
  • Chop a guys legs off one by one [spoiler] Hermes [/spoiler]
  • etc.

I'm a huge fan of Sessler but getting mad about that is just pathetic.  He shows his age in getting mad about it, though I do get his point, the games not about some chick killing things in grusome ways it's about a guy killing thinkgs in a grusome way so "Bros before Hoe's is completely fine where it is.

If you watch the video he says the kills aren't male or female orientated. Its the trophy name that cheapens it to a frat boy joke. He's not wrong.

in a video game i wouldn mind beating anyone face in, but the fact that it congratulates you w/ "bro's before hoes" i just see it as an immature form of satire

i would be able to get a laugh if i was 12
