I saw this yesterday. Personally I think he overreacted to it. I know i'm a GUY, but I really don't think that's anything to get worked up over.

Also, this is a trophy from the new Tomb Raider game.

"Widowmaker" (Lara Croft) - Killing 40 men.

That is not even remotely the same kind of thing. Most action games have kill count achievements. Killing is essential to the game and racking up a kill count is natural in all violent games.

Adam Sessler is 100% right. If the GOW games are supposed to be mature than the sex scenes have a purpose. The Trophy title reduces it to nothing more than a juvenile excuse for virtual T&A. There were those who once used GOW as an example of mature entertainment in gaming, but now it's clear that the devs did not intent it to be that. The only reason there is sex and nudity in GOW is because they know it tantalizes the same manchildren whom the gratuitous gore was made over the top for. Adam Sessler thought the series had depth, but it really just capitalizes on the sensational.

I'm not offending and I don't think Adam Sessler is either, but I agree with him that it's disappointing. They could have taken the high road. I don't think GOW should be 100% serious. There's room for humor. But this joke does the game no credit. It's not even funny enough to make up for objectifying women.

Dude.. Grow up and just enjoy the game.

Sessler's clearly angling for a job at Kotaku.

Yep,now how dumb do you and Sessler feel knowing that a WOMAN came up with the trophy name therefore now you cannot complain.

It also makes your arguement irrelevant. Oh and just so you know GoW has always been about weird trophy names that revolve around the staff members and other things such.

You people obviously never played any of them,but feel the need to express your opinions.

What the fuck? You're developmentally disabled* if you're offended by this. Seriously dudes.

*I made a vow to stop using the r word. It's such a horrible word. I've got to be pc now and say "developmentally disabled" when calling people morons.

Gotta Break Em In
Complete 'The Ho Boat'.

This is a Saints Row 3 trophy you get after completing the mission "The Ho Boat" which is basically "recruiting" barely naked women locked in cages on a boat for your "purposes". Didn't hear any complaints back then.... It's just a game man, chill out.

Game of the year 2017 so far:

5. Resident Evil VII
4. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
3. Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
2. Horizon Zero Dawn
1. Super Mario Odyssey

I can't think of any off the top of my head but the Tomb Raider example shows that serious games have unserious trophy titles. They're silly a lot of times and use popular phrases such as this. It's such a harmless thing I mean it's not like they used the N word or something. I would also remind everyone that there is a popular women's phrase "chicks before dicks (which I put in the same category as the C word for women so I avoid it)" which basically has the same meaning only reversed. If they had put that in too would you be fine? Honestly this completely not an issue for me.
