yes the targeted audience are males i get that but if you get the game just because the girls look sexy then you actually play the game, you might think why did i buy this game for.
look at DOA there is no blalance to these girls. there all girls with big breasts and cute faces there are no girls with a decreased size of breasts like in soulcalibur (Talim is the only example). in fact Tecmo released DOA beach Extreme Volleyball 1 and 2 only to show off there game girls figure.
Talim maybe the only one in soulcalibur 4 who's bust isn't increased.

once again you all bring up good points
While you bring up good points too, I would have to respectfully disagree. Here are my reasons:

1) If we use the same logic, then our male characters will not all have perfect hair. Some of them would even be fat or out of shape. But there are none (unless you count those token fat characters). You can ask any male gamer and they will tell you they are not offended (hopefully). Which brings me to my second point.

2) True female gamers don't really give a hoot. If they care about something so little they are either not a real gamer or they really haven't seen everything yet. You know those female gamer clans that compete professionally?? They get sexist jokes/comments thrown at them all the time. They keep their poise and play on.

3) And my third point is if we get pissed off over every single thing then there won't be games. GTA is full of "stereotypes", Mario Luigi with their accents, etc. I mean, do we need a Cooking Papa to pair up with Cooking Mama?


As for Talim, she's probably Asian that's why. [JUST JOKING!]
