Why were video game magazines so unashamedly horny in the 2000s?
because it was fun, this industry doesnt care about fun anymore. now im sad fuck you op eat a bag of dicks
because the intent was to subvert and mock the supposed christian conservative moral consensus of the age.
They still do, they want to subvert the order of sexuality. It's overtly demonic at this point.
the long lost recognition of who is in charge of this world
Everything was heterosexual before the 2010s when all the sexless peeminists started taking over.
Wish there was a way to read these things. Could be some fun shit in there
Because the masses didn't have internet yet and the internet was slower at time, so you weren't able to blast your mind with lewd pictures 24/7.
I've seen this particular issue of Xbox Nation on Internet Archive.
It sucks that society was free of that faggotry for such a short time and now zoomers are trying to bring it back.
Please god, take me back!
No it was retard. That was the effect, not the cause
It's because gaming wasn't as inclusive back then. It was mostly just teenage boys and adolescent men. Now everyone from 5 yr olds to 70 year olds play games now. Men and women alike, so now everything has to be safe and PC or you'll hurt someone's fee fees.
Having occasional lewdness in games is fun and cool, what you're talking about is completely different. Most people today aren't gooner loser faggots like you, even with unlimited access to porn.
Which one are you saying is faggotry? The christian moralists or the subverters of it? Because the correct answer is the moralists.
Sadly, white people had to ruin it for everyone.
jews*
beautiful bros, I kneel to the 2k gods
It was better times
Because we werent afraid of our sexuality
Because the average gamer was 15 years old
Now for some reason 20 years later the average gamer is like 35 so you don't see the industry trying to push for sexualized content as much
ashamed
Everything was like this not just games.
Based
Oh shit, I didn't think to try IA. Thanks anon.
Is this slowly making a comeback, like by 2027 and beyond?
Damn, that magazine would cost $10.38 in today's dollarydoos.
Was always funny to me how they tried to make DOA a face of Xbox back in the day, and now they want to shun it so much that it basically killed them as a fighting game and now they just make gachas and visual novels that don't even get western releases.
pic related was my first fap
huge mess on the carpet, wasn't expecting to shoot that much out
Because they appeal to people who think gamers are losers for not chasing pussy.
No, it's because video games then we're by men for men. Modern video games exist to subvert Christianity with all the gay crap in them.
Jesus>whatever gay faggot shit you're into.
and now they want to shun it so much that it basically killed them
That's Microsoft for you. Outside of maybe Forza, every series that built up the Xbox brand's early years for many people has since been expunged in some form or another. Even the almighty Halo series is currently on ice after 343 went three for three in their bad Halo trilogy with Halo Infinite with Master Chief being reduced to a Fortnite skin.
I miss Dead or Alive
inflation is a myth
Because they were meant for teenage boys.
I was so pissed when Xbox went all in on being corporate by 2010, the early days were awesome.
Halo had no reason to die, same with Gears. E-Day sounds good on paper but 4 and 5 were so shit, I'm not very optimistic. They'll probably fuck it up like they did with Infinite.
((()))
((()))
Makes me mad because I actually do love DOA as a fighter.
The sole audience was teenagers and young men, so they used lewd covers to get sales.
20 years ago women didn't care about such magazines. It is only in the last 10 years that women (and betas trying to get into their favour) started crying about content of media that was never targeted towards them.
make some real fucking news
oh yeaah
Target audience was nearly all men and then came the women grifters and their simps.
is jade empire actually good?
They wanted people to buy the magazines. Everything went wrong when selling the product was no longer a priority for the entertainment industry.
No. The story is all over the place, the combat is goofy, and it has weird shmup sequences thrown in. Hot fox chicks if you're into furfag stuff, though.
Nut inside Momiji
It was good enough that its criminally underrated when it comes to Bioware, well, Golden Age Bioware's catalog of games. As much as I'd like to see Jade Empire get a sequel or a remake, its perhaps better that unlike Mass Effect and especially Dragon Age, Jade Empire's remained the one creator owned IP in Bioware's catalog that hasn't been woke-fucked or turned into something wildly different than what it started out as in DA's case with Veilguard.
This
Because there was no one ruining our medium at that time. Game journalists knew their audience and weren't condescending assholes either.
inb4 someone makes the claim that I'm brain fried by gloonslop
Nope, they were actually writing better articles back then aside from it being raunchy. Now we have PC gamer journalists admitting to cheating in Sekiro or telling us that Battlefield 2042 was 'fixed' and 'good now' despite it still being a buggy goddamn mess at the time of writing and wasn't fun to play.
Leifang makes everyone horny
they had one target audience instead of 15
Pretty much, that's why I'm happy their empire is collapsing, we're probably not going to have any more normies in gaming by the 2030s.
Why were video game magazines so unashamedly horny in the 2000s?
Lots of different gaming related magazines on the market at the same time, all trying to get your attention at the news stand.
I went through a lot of magazines looking for something very specific, and they are truly filled with SOUL, but it's hard to know how much is nostalgia.
It's not a top tier BW game but it's fun and has an unique setting(for RPGs), not too long either so no reason not to play it.
Game Magazines are fun time capsules to read through. I still have image related. But, I think I lost the demo disc. I still have a lot of old console and PC gaming magazines stored away in boxes.
...
because gaming was aimed at straight niggas before it went left
that PC issue
Funny to think torrenting was already in full swing back then
It must have been comfy af to be a writer for a vidya mag back then
sex sells, do people not know this anymore?
,.,
Because the industry is targeted at teenage boys. Back in the day teenage boys were dudebros who liked hot girls, now teenage boys (mid 30s) are troons who like to cry online about oppression.
Mental wards were still a thing.
Video games were made by and for men in those days.
DOA Beach Volleyball needs to return as an Xbox exclusive.
I was born in le wrong generation.
It needs to return in general first since the only way to get DOAX3 is to import it or buy an upcharged copy from ebay.
Because everything was about sex, fun, and humorous stuff that people liked. Nk one got offended, no one cried, no jurno freak out. Video games were meant to be fun and that reflected also in the related media like magazines.
