Wield massive weapons forged from the bones of your monstrous enemies! Go forth and SLAY!

Elder Scrolls Online Gameplay

Dive into the lore-rich world of Tamriel in Zenimax studios’ online offering of the Elder Scrolls franchise. Fans of Skyrim will quickly fall in love with TESO, owing to the wondrous and well-built game world. Quests are story-driven, NPCs are quirky and interesting, and combat is smooth, visceral, and rewarding. For fans of PvP, there’s a giant battleground with its own set of rules and skills that reward tactical play and keep-siege mechanics. Whether you adventurer as a hulking orcish brute dragon knight, or a stealthy and silent khajit assassin, finding your niche and destroying your enemies in style has never been easier than it is in The Elder Scrolls Online.

Join your friends as you explore a world rich with detail and steeped in lore.

Dungeon crawling and daedric demon extermination are the status quo in the online world of Tamriel!

8. Project TL

Project TL Gameplay

Better known as Lineage Eternal, Project TL is an incredibly ambitious looking upcoming MMORPG title from NCSoft studios that has been in development since 2011. While little is truly known about this title, other than it is the sequel to the first Lineage, the gameplay trailer touts a massive game world with Diablo-3-like dungeon crawling aspects. Player characters have a large amount of control over combat, and we are shown graphic images of heroes hurling hordes of enemies around like ragdolls and destroying terrain willy-nilly. TL has the potential to be a real masterpiece and is slated for Closed Beta release in Korea later this year.

Siege or be besieged! PvP on a massive, and explosive, scale!

And they say size doesn’t matter!

7. Vindictus

Vindictus Gameplay

Vindictus is a cookie-cutter Korean MMORPG that sets itself apart from the fold by utilizing an action combat system reliant on skill, timing, and teamwork. Players can choose from the typical variety of heroes- giant berserkers, tiny-yet-powerful mages, and the like- each of which is beautifully designed but, unfortunately, gender-locked. Vindictus player base is on a steady decline, and this is a game best enjoyed with a group of friends who can take advantage of the instanced dungeon system.

Unleash devastating special moves! Crush and overpower your enemies, earning fantastical loot!

Linear, instanced dungeoneering means you can make your character and jump right into the fray!

6. Black Desert Online

Black Desert Online Gameplay

This. Game. IS. BEAUTIFUL!! Beware, adventurers, the character customization screen will enrapture you before gameplay even begins. Nearly every bodily feature is customizable, from facial bone structure to forearm length, so you can really build a character you resonate with. The active combat system relies highly on player skill, as many moves are performed by button combinations and require proper spacing as your character flips acrobatically through fight sequences. Black Desert Online is a beautiful and well-composed game, bolstered by rewarding questlines and intuitive combat, and best of all--it’s completely free to play!

Yup, this is an in-game screenshot. If you’ve got the power, turn the graphics UP!

Aim each shot carefully! Mastering your characters unique moves will mean the difference in life and death!

5. Lost Ark

Lost Ark Gameplay

Combine Diablo-style action with open world MMO exploration and you have Lost Ark, the isometric action RPG by Korean RPG studio Smilegate. There’s almost too much to say about this amazing looking game, from its visceral combat, to its compelling storyline, to its player-friendly features-- suffice it to say, if you can get ahold of a Korean beta account then you should take the plunge. Ark recently entered its open beta in Korea, and is slated for English patch release in late 2018 or early 2019.

Devastating magics are at your disposal!

These huge world bosses are packing some deadly heat!

4. Destiny 2

Destiny 2 Gameplay

In Destiny 2, the sequel to Bungie/Activision’s award-winning game, Destiny, battle for humanities survival in a world torn apart by war with the Red Legion. Rise from the ashes of a ravaged world to become an uber-powerful guardian, wielding powerful spells and devastating weaponry. Partner up with your friends and battle your way through intense and epic encounters known as Strikes. Strike down the Legion’s deadly leader, Ghaul, and become the hero you were destined to be.

Battle your way through intense, immersive raids, while filling your inventory with badass weapons and mystical items!

Save humanity from the brink of extension. Do you have what it takes to be a Guardian?

3. Blade & Soul

Blade & Soul Gameplay

Blade & Soul is essentially a hyper-sexualized, martial arts reskin of another popular Korean MMORPG, Black Desert Online. It sports similar levels of customization and the same active, combo-oriented combat system. However, unlike other MMOs of similar repute, Blade & Soul offers a unique, qinggong system of travel-- meaning players have access to gravity-defying moves allowing them to scale walls and fly across terrain (think Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon). The game is completely free-to-play and features an interesting storyline and plenty of end-game content for the intrepid MMO adventurer.

Behold lush and vivid landscapes, well-drawn characters, and giant weapons!

Explode from the core! Master the martial arts and take down giant foes!

2. Star Citizen

Star Citizen Gameplay

Do you dream of piloting your own spaceship? Do you yearn for true, open-world exploration? Have you been impatiently awaiting the day when you would be able to strap on your full body exo-suit and go trapesing through the galaxy? Star Citizen offers the consummate exploration experience - all on a massive scale. A galactical scale, in fact! Enjoy a robust single-player experience, or blast your way through other players on your journey for star supremacy. In Star Citizen, the entire universe is your oyster!

Ships, ships, and more ships! A plethora of craft with unique abilities. Be an explorer, a deep space miner, or a dangerous mercenary!

Set down in beautiful, procedurally generated worlds where no two experiences are the same. What adventures await?

1. Conan Exiles

Conan Exiles Gameplay

In Conan Exiles, the survival MMO by Funcom games, fight for your life as an exiled barbarian left (literally hanging from a cross) to die in a barren wasteland. Craft what you need to survive, hunt animals large and small for sustenance, and build a shelter to endure the harsh desert environment. Conan is as sandbox as they come-- it is up to each player to decide their story. Will you forge your path to victory, or be sacrificed to the elder gods? Sharpen your stone ax, gather your barbarian hordes, venture forth into the harsh desert, and find out for yourself!

Nothing like sacrificing your sworn enemies in order to appease a vengeful god!

Band together in order to survive!

11 MMORPGs with the Sexiest Female Characters

MichaelLogarta — Sun, 29 May 2016 12:57:21 +0000

They’re strong, brave, and bold… we introduce MMORPGs’ sexiest female characters!

The best MMORPGs sure have a lot to offer. From hours of questing to near-limitless character customization options, it’s no surprise our favorite online universes continue to serve as our secondary homes.

You’ll have to admit, though, that one of reasons you play these games is because of the sheer physical beauty of its characters. And we’re not talking about merely good-looking NPCs or avatars… we mean drop-dead gorgeous, sexy, and sublimely elegant 3D humans (and in many cases, humanoids) who are so beautiful you’ll often find yourself wishing they were the real thing.

In this article we’re calling 11 MMORPGS with the Sexiest Female Characters, we list the games boasting the most alluring, most captivating of these ladies. So turn your air conditioners on at full blast, because things are about to get real hot!

11. Final Fantasy XIV

We all know what the Final Fantasy series is about: gorgeous-looking teens with fabulous hair, and ridiculously oversized swords.

Well, in Final Fantasy XIV, everyone gets to live out their, uh, fantasies. Not counting the creepy Lalafell (seriously, they look like evil, demonic dolls – Annabel would be proud!), all the races in Final Fantasy XIV are beautiful. So you can be as stunning and sexy as you want to be, impossibly high cheek bones and all.

And if you’re a gamer guy just looking for cute 3D girls to admire, you can’t be in a better place. There’s even the Miqo’te race for all you furries out there!

10. Vindictus (Mabinogi Heroes)

Vindictus, also known as Mabinogi Heroes, is an action-packed MMORPG offering ten playable characters – five of whom are dangerous women so dazzling their enemies will be too busy admiring them to realize there’s a blade headed for their throats.

There’s Arisha, a tough battle witch who is as deadly with her sword as she is with her spells; Fiona, who will stick a sword into you, then bash your skull in with a shield; Vella, who won’t introduce you to her parents, but probably will to her dual swords if you misbehave; Evie, a young noblewoman known for her magic, and whose classy style will make you feel like a pauper; and Lynn, an agile lady whom you’ll probably never get close to, thanks to the very, very large spear she’s wielding. These lovely ladies may be delightful to the eye, but watching them make short work of their opponents on the battlefield is even more entrancing – it’s like watching a beautiful dance of death!

An exhilarating game, and one with some of the sexiest female characters in gaming!

9. Bless Online

We’ve been keeping an eye on Bless Online, a spectacular-looking MMORPG set in a medieval fantasy realm. It’s got an amazing world, a fascinating story, and cool-looking races. Not to mention its ladies are looking mighty fine.

It’s got everything from sexy elven badasses to sexy cat girls. But Bless Online has something that other MMORPGs don’t have – something that we’re sure will get the furries doubly excited: sexy wolf people!

Yes, despite probably being related to canines, the Lupus are quite attractive. Their men are hulking, handsome beasts, so there’s a lot of eye candy for the women, as well!

8. Continent of the Ninth Seal

The world of Glanheim is in peril. The evil Nefer is bent on opening a rift to the Netherworld. Should he succeed, demonic armies shall swarm the peaceful lands.

Bah, who cares? Nefer can go kill himself, because we’ll be too busy admiring the magnificent beauties of Continent of the Ninth Seal to care about some pesky demonic legions.

While we’re loving the setting and the action-packed combat system, what we’re really digging is the game’s bevy of alluring women. From foxy vixens wielding fire and ice to elegant ladies brandishing blades large enough to split you in half, Continent of the Ninth Seal is packed with eye candy. This game has some of the sexiest female characters in the MMORPG, which makes us all the more excited to play it!

7. Kingdom Under Fire II

Kingdom Under Fire II blends MMORPG elements with the real-time strategy genre. Imagine having your own hero, and also being able to command your own troops. Will you go solo, cutting through hordes of enemies like some rage-fueled god of death? Or will you engage in massive battles, throwing your soldiers against the enemy like a furious tidal wave smashing against the beach?

War is great and all, but after the dust has settled, there’s nothing better than sitting back and enjoying the sight of Kingdom Under Fire II’s extraordinarily beautiful people. We’re telling you, this game has some enticing lookers.

Admittedly, some of the costumes for the women lean towards the “WTF” end of the spectrum. And certain… body parts... behave in ways that would make you think they have their own set of lungs and central nervous system. Questionable taste aside, this game has some of the sexiest female characters you’ll ever see in an MMORPG. So if that’s what you’re looking for, this is your game.

6. ArcheAge

ArcheAge is a fantasy MMORPG that aims to give players everything they want in an MMORPG, and then some. In addition to standard stuff like excellent combat, PvP, crafting, housing, etc., the game also boasts naval combat, farming (as in, gardening and planting tomatoes and stuff), a criminal system that allows players to become members of the jury and punish player criminals, and even using a glider to soar through the air.

As if the game can’t get any better, it’s also home to some of the most marvelous sights in game. And by “sights” we mean hot women (and men!). There are four races, including the charming Firran, who are, well, humanoid cats, and the exquisite Harani, who are this universe’s East Asians. The costumes range from the ravishing to the divine, and we’re glad to say they’re not all too ridiculous (although you’ll still spot a number of female knights with their bellies totally exposed).

5. Skyforge

Ever wanted to be a god? Well, in the free-to-play science fiction fantasy MMORPG Skyforge, you can be.

And what decent god would you make without followers? Skyforge allows you to gain followers, have as many classes as you want, and journey across a grand world filled with danger, mystery, and entrancing beauty.

Yes, the immortals of Skyforge are gorgeous. And for the most part, they’ve got a slick fashion sense, too. You want to look like a super hero? There’s a costume for that. How about a tough-as-nails soldier? There are clothes for that, too. You can make a character who looks like they’re going out for the night to some fancy-schmancy club, or one that resembles a knight. There are plenty of choices for every taste.

Sexiest female characters in MMORPGs are rarely as appealing as those found in Skyforge!

4. TERA Rising

Free-to-play TERA: Rising has all the elements of a classic fantasy MMORPG – hundreds of quests, crafting, grinding, and of course, warrior women in skimpy armor so ridiculous they’ll leave you wondering: how do they keep those tiny straps from peeling off? Glue and duct tape?

Developer Bluehole Studio went nuts designing the looks of the game’s female avatars. Its bevy of beauties range from the busty, long-legged, and statuesque, to the tiny and adorable. And yes, while the costumes for the women are not always sensible, many retain an artistic charm that makes up for the more off-putting ones.

Thankfully, TERA: Rising is more than about visuals – its real-time combat is also quite impressive! In fact, it was one of the first few MMORPGs to do away with the “click on enemy till it dies” gameplay. In TERA: Rising, you have to actively dodge strikes, and your attacks need to be timed correctly to land.

It’s among the games with the sexiest female characters, and it’s fun to play!

3. Elder Scrolls Online

You’ve wandered the frozen tundra of Skyrim and travelled the dusty wastelands of Morrowind. You’ve been a Nord, a Redguard, a Dunmer, even a hairy cat-person.

Now, you get to do all that while playing with thousands of other people online. Welcome to Elder Scrolls Online!

Elder Scrolls Online continues the venerable series’ winning formula: enormous environments, diverse cultures, frightening monsters, and of course, lots and lots of beautiful people. From the dusky Redguards to the fair Nords, there’s plenty to like. There’s even the Khajiit race for the furries out there. And for those of you who are into… weirder fetishes… there’s the reptilian Argonian race. Watch out for those spikes, though!

2. Blade & Soul

This fantasy martial arts MMORPG from South Korea has been wowing gamers all over the world with its stunning visuals. And by that we mean its exquisite CG environments.

Okay, we also mean the character models, specifically the women and their ludicrous but stimulating wardrobe choices. Unreasonably revealing costumes? Check. Skin that glistens as if they’ve just emerged from a tub of oil? Check. Thick eyelashes, and elegant hair? Check. You have to wonder: are they getting ready for a battle, or a Victoria’s Secret fashion show?

It’s a good thing Blade & Soul’s gameplay makes more sense. Its battle system is in real time, and employs a combo system that brings to mind the fighting game genre. Yes, it’s got some of the sexiest female characters in gaming, and it’s also absolutely fun!

1.Black Desert Online

Everyone’s heard about this one – the game with a character creation tool so amazing you can shape the MMORPG avatar of your dreams.

You know what that means. You can either create the most jaw-dropping supermodel of a character for yourself, or one with a face that’ll make you bleed tears of despair. Thankfully, most people would rather be running around as handsome hunks or beauteous babes than Deadpool sans his mask.

Of course, Black Desert Online also has an exciting, combo-fueled battle system, a spectacular open world influenced by time and weather, and challenging enemies. Even more unique is its parkour system, which allows characters to navigate the environment a la Assassin’s Creed.

An excellent MMORPG, and one with the sexiest female characters!

Thus ends our article of the 11 MMORPGs with the sexiest female characters. Did we leave your favorite game out? Tell us about it in the comments section below!

11 New Free PC Games Coming Out In 2016 That Will Be Awesome

MichaelLogarta — Wed, 16 Dec 2015 13:08:00 +0000

Enjoy your time without spending a dime with 2016’s new free PC games!

As we’ve already covered in previous articles, 2016 is shaping up to be a great year for gaming. But playing games is also a costly hobby, which to be honest, kind of sucks.

Leave it to some game development studios to give us gamers cheaper, yet no less entertaining alternatives. 2016 boasts a solid line-up of new free PC games, one you can’t afford not knowing about. So, in the spirit of public service, we have compiled a list of the 11 New Free PC Games Coming Out In 2016 That Will Be Awesome.

Here they are, in no particular order:

11. Gigantic

Is it a MOBA? Is it a third-person shooter?

Genres evolve with time, and Gigantic is proof of that. While it may seem like your typical MOBA, there’s definitely more to it than just turning defensive structures into rubble and wiping the floor with hundreds of creeps.

In Gigantic, you select one of several unique heroes, then, together with a team of five, ally yourself with a powerful, building-sized guardian. Your job? To work together with your guardian, and your teammates, to destroy the opposing team and their guardian.

There are key points to capture, creatures to summon, skills to unlock with experience, and glorious team combat that culminates in a massive, earth-shaking duel between the two guardians. To top it all off, Gigantic looks super pretty, with crisp, cartoonish visuals and wonderful animation. One of the new free PC games that’s gotten us really excited for 2016!

With a titan at your back, you can do anything.

What big claws you have!

All manner of giant critters!

10. Duelyst

Strategy and tactics are the building blocks that make up Duelyst, an awesome competitive game that locks two players against each other in fast, brutal combat.

Choose from six factions, including the mighty, lumbering behemoths, the Magmar, or the numerous rush-crazy Abyssian. Then, using the cards in your hands, blow the enemy to smithereens using face-melting spells, or obliterate them with powerful artifacts. Did we mention you’ve got more than 300 battle units, artifacts, and spells to customize your squad with?

Don’t let the fact that this game is turn-based fool you into thinking this is a slow game. Duelyst’s furious battles often end in less than 10 minutes. You know what that means: more opportunities for slaughter!

Assemble the troops!

Ready for blood.

Battle formations.

9. Blade & Soul

If you’re a fan of MMORPGs, you’ve probably heard of Blade & Soul.

This MMORPG from South Korea has been wowing Asian gamers with its stunning graphics and its action-packed fantasy martial arts. Its combat, which is in real time, employs a system that allows you to string together attack combos – which makes it very much like a fighting game. The game also features an incredible character customization tool, so you can make your avatar as pretty or as hideous as you wish.

Blade & Soul’s been around in Asia for while, but 2016 marks the first time people in Europe and the USA get their hands on it. Definitely one of the new free PC games we’d love to play come 2016!

A kick to the face ought to bring him down!

All the pretty lights.

Close range archery.

8. The Elder Scrolls: Legends

The Elder Scrolls series is huge. Online card games are huge. So why not combine the two?

That is exactly what Bethesda Softworks did with The Elder Scrolls: Legends. This card game features everything you love from the franchise, from the mythical lore, to the characters and creatures, to the myriad races populating the world.

Roast your enemies with potent magic, or skewer them with your warrior’s blades! The choice is yours. Aside from multiplayer, the game also has a single-player story campaign, so you’ll have plenty of opportunities to hone your skills.

Aim at your opponent for a direct hit!

These cards EXPLODE.

Choose your destiny!

7. Tree of Savior

Remember Ragnarok Online, that charming MMORPG from South Korea that took the whole world by storm in the early 2000s? Well, Tree of Savior is the spiritual successor of that game. You see, the guy behind Tree of Savior is the same guy who was responsible for bringing us Ragnarok Online. That, and Tree of Savior also features cutesy anime sprites and gorgeous visuals.

Tree of Savior boasts numerous classes. The four main archetypes are Swordsman, Wizard, Archer, and Cleric, but under each are a host of other possible classes. For example, the Archer spawns the Rangers, who specialize in fighting multiple opponents, and the Wugushi, a martial arts-type class that relies on poison. From Clerics, we get Sadhu, who can have out-of-body experiences, and Plague Doctors, who specialize in curing abnormalities.

With a huge number of classes to choose from, gorgeous graphics, and fluidly animated sprites, Tree of Savior will be a delight to all those nostalgic for Ragnarok Online. As it’s already beginning to look like one of the best new free PC games of 2016, we’re also pretty sure it’ll attract a new generation of fans.

Join the party!

This world's denizens sure look gorgeous!

"Let me concoct a spell for you."

6. Orcs Must Die! Unchained

You know those tower defense games on mobile devices? Orcs Must Die! Unchained is like those games, except wilder, messier, and way more action-packed.

Choose one of several heroes, then help defend your base from hordes of monsters. And when we say hordes, we mean armies of orcs and other bad guys so numerous it looks like the screen is being flooded by a sea of puke green. And those monsters come in all shapes and sizes, from the tiny and fast to the huge and lumbering.

Lay murderous traps and show off with legendary magic and lethal skills. What’s even better is that you can play cooperatively with friends or against each opponents. Sounds like another great eSports contender to us!

He's looking for someone to sink his teeth into.

A tidal wave of gap-toothed warriors.

Time to cleave some greenskins in two!

5. LawBreakers

Previously called BlueStreak, LawBreakers is a first-person shooter set in a sci-fi world.

LawBreakers features a roster of weird and cool heroes who each boast a unique set of abilities. You’ve got an assassin who can swing between buildings using a rope made of light, a mercenary who can fly, and a melee warrior with a devastating ground pound attack. As you can expect, combat is all about skillful shooting, not knee-jerk gunplay. So check your noob cred at the door.

The game also has you siding with either the Law or the Breakers, so you can expect some excellent team play. Add to this breathtaking environment design, and you’ve got one of the most promising free-to-play games in 2016.

First-person goodness!

Wonderful sights await.

I'm sure he just wants to make friends!

4. Salem

Colonial America is a rarely visited topic in video games. Leave it to Salem, one of the most intriguing new free PC games of 2016, to bring us to a New World of toil, disease, and witchcraft!

Leave Europe for a fresh start in the Americas as a settler. To survive, you’ll need to gather resources, hunt animals, and explore your new environment. There are precious minerals and ores to be found underground, so get filthy and start digging! In time, you’ll build a home, a farm, and maybe even your own village. You can even coordinate with your friends and help each other prosper.

Of course, what’s colonial America without a little bit of witchcraft? Curse your enemies’ fields and watch their crops wither and die! And who knows, there might be even darker secrets to be unraveled in these uncharted lands.

To convey the brutality of the times, this open-world crafting MMO also features permadeath. So make your choices wisely, or it could be your corpse decorating the freshly tilled soil!

Building a home.

Crime and punishment.

Let's hope you have enough food to last the winter.

3. Fortnite

These days, innovation usually means combining different genres to form an exciting and cohesive whole. Fortnite is a survival game set in a sandbox world where you can build defensive structures from scavenged items.

It’s been described as “Left 4 Dead meets Minecraft,” a formula that’s a perfect fit for cooperative multiplayer. By day, you explore a procedurally generated world and build a fortress from the scraps you’ve gathered. By night, you defend yourself against waves of monsters.

Fortnite sounds pretty sweet to us, and we’re eager to play what will likely be one of the new free PC games to watch out for in 2016!

Fireworks display.

Facing danger head-on.

Cast of misfits.

2. Riders of Icarus

Few things are cooler than riding a giant frickin’ dragon. The creators or Riders of Icarus know this, which is why they’ve filled their game with exactly that: enormous flying reptilian mounts that can barbecue entire armies with a single, fiery sneeze.

But why stop at dragons? Riders of Icarus offers other fantastical beasts to pursue, tame, and ride. There are gargantuan monsters that look like a cross between a lion and a bull, winged horses with flaming hooves, and birds with talons sharp enough to rip through armor. And of course, you can own more than one creature. It’s like Pokemon, only more badass. Gotta catch ‘em all!

This MMO is going to be huge, which is why we’re included it in our list of new free PC games to play in 2016.

Dragon, meet mountain giant. Mountain giant, meet dragon.

Is he about to chop his own horse's head off?

Definitely not the Khaleesi.

1. Paragon

Like any popular video game genre, the MOBA continues to evolve. And if Paragon is any indication of the direction MOBAs are headed, we can’t be more excited for the future.

Paragon is a third-person MOBA with awesome graphics, explosive gameplay, and a rich sci-fi theme. It’s got an exciting hero roster which includes what looks like a rabbit driving a giant mech, a humanoid rhino, and even the Grim Reaper himself.

What’s even more intriguing is its cards system. You can collect cards, build your own deck, then attach them to your heroes to give them all sorts of abilities. Some of them provide a passive bonus, such as making your strikes stronger, or give you an extra skill, such as the ability to heal yourself. With a plethora of cards available, there are literally hundreds upon hundreds of ways to customize said heroes.

We here at Gamers Decide loves MOBAs, and Paragon is one of the new free PC games we’re particularly excited about!

"One well-timed heal, coming up!"

"Your time is up."

These minions mean business.

The beautiful world of Paragon.

Honrable Mention: Hunt: Horrors of the Gilded Age

With a new age comes new horrors. In multiplayer third-person action game Hunt: Horrors of the Gilded Age, you and three other heroes must slay the undead hordes and other bloodthirsty monstrosities putting the world in peril in the 1800s. Procedurally generated maps, enemies, and items means no two encounters are ever the same, so make sure you’re ready before you go out into the night!

This butcher's looking for fresh meat!

Gun vs. hammer.

15 Video Games That Use Sex to Boost Sales

MichaelLogarta — Mon, 02 Nov 2015 12:32:02 +0000

The industry’s sexiest games sure know how to sell themselves!

Whether you like it or not, sex sells – and nowhere is this more true than in the gaming industry. Which is why, every once in a while, a game will dress its characters in costumes so sexually tantalizing that it will make anyone blush.

But sex as a means to sell games has itself become an art. While some developers have mastered subtlety, portraying characters in a manner that is sexy yet non-demeaning, others remain committed to overdoing the whole thing, and end up coming off as obscene.

This article, which lists the 15 Video Games That Use Sex to Boost Sales, is an exhibit of games that have relied – to varying degrees – on the sexiness of their content to draw in the crowds. Do these games take it too far? Read on, and decide for yourselves!

15. Leisure Suit Larry: Reloaded

Back when point-and-click adventure games were all the rage, there was one series that was synonymous with sexy time: Leisure Suit Larry. The first game, Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards, was released in 1987.

In 2013, the game was remade and retitled Leisure Suit Larry: Reloaded. Like the original, the story takes place in the city of Lost Wages, where you follow middle-aged loser, Larry Laffer, as he embarks on a most noble quest: to finally lose his virginity. We’re rooting for you, Larry!

With beautiful hand-drawn graphics replacing ugly old pixels, Reloaded has some incredibly sexy visuals… once you get past all the sleaze, that is!

14. Soulcalibur V

Sure, the long-running Soulcalibur series has been giving us some of the flashiest fighting games in the industry. But you have to admit, one of its major draws is its eclectic roster of gorgeous female fighters. Who hasn’t gazed upon the likes of Ivy Valentine without wondering how she could possibly function as a warrior while sporting that ultimate wedgie of hers? Or Sophitia, who is basically wearing the Classical Greek equivalent of Victoria’s Secret lingerie?

Soulcalibur V gets rid of many of its most recognizable babes, such as Taki and Seong Mi-na, but Project Soul made sure newcomers like Natsu and Pyrrha are just as nice (though somewhat uncomfortable) to look at – questionably impractical costumes and all!

13. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

There has always been more to the Metal Gear Solid series than just stealth and its gruff hero, Snake.

Case in point, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain gives us Quiet, a sniper who likes wearing next to nothing, despite the fact that she spends 90% of the game in the blazing heat of the dessert.

And when not taking out targets from a thousand miles away, Quiet enjoys rolling around on the ground, showering in her underwear, and jumping out of helicopters. Sexy? Yes. Does it make sense? Most probably not!

12. Skullgirls, Skullgirls Encore

It’s become an unwritten rule that if you’re making a fighting game, you must have at least one scantily clad girl in the roster.

Well, Skullgirls takes that concept and runs away with it, by having a roster consisting entirely of women – and most of them are of the impossibly, inconveniently attired variety. Seriously, Parasoul’s skirt is so short you could end up mistaking her for someone who isn’t wearing any pants.

Did we mention, though, that these girls are totally badass? Skullgirls Encore introduces males to the roster, but a majority of the new challengers are still women who’d break your jaw as soon as you look at them funny. One of them is Eliza, a bloodletting celebrity diva rocking an Ancient Egyptian motif. She’s as sexy as hell, as long as you don’t mind someone whose skeleton can literally jump out of her own skin!

11. Catherine

Catherine is one of the most intriguing puzzle games to come out in years, thanks to four things: excellent, brain-twisting gameplay; a story involving a bloodcurdling mystery; breathtaking cut scenes; and of course, hot, steamy, under-the-bedcovers action!

You play as Vincent Brooks, an ordinary man who suddenly finds himself torn between 1) his sophisticated, intelligent, beautiful, and loyal girlfriend of several years, Katherine, and 2) a bubbly, free-spirited, sexually-charged nymph named Catherine. What follows is a story of love, lust, temptation, devotion, and betrayal.

One of the sexiest games ever released – one with a twist that’ll blow your mind!

10. Tomb Raider, Rise of the Tomb Raider

Tomb Raider’s Lara Croft has been a gaming sex symbol for decades. In 2013, however, the world was introduced to the reboot, and a heroine who actually looks like a real woman, as opposed to a pair of polygonal breasts that magically sprouted a body.

Who’d have thought realistic proportions and more conservative clothing could actually be sexier? But there’s more to this new Lara than just her stunning looks. Lara’s tough, intelligent, compassionate, and adventurous, and we see all that in the game. Not to mention she’s more practical than her previous incarnations. Who in her right mind would run through the jungle wearing short shorts that look like they were painted on to her butt, when she could be protecting those long legs by putting on pants?

9. Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson

Ah, Senran Kagura. When your video game series is made in Japan and stars a bunch of buxom female ninjas, you know exactly what you’re getting into.

One of the most recent entries in the franchise, Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson, is a side-scrolling beat ‘em up exclusive to the Nintendo 3DS. You control impractically dressed shinobi warriors as they fight their way through waves of other impractically dressed shinobi warriors.

Expect a lot of uncomfortable camera angles, and weird, jiggly things that look like breasts, but behave like nothing you’ll ever find on the chest of a real-life woman.

8. Gal*Gun: Double Peace

After a while, it gets boring shooting monsters and terrorists between the eyes. So why not use your love gun to shoot girls in their erogenous zones?

Well, at least that’s what the developers of Gal*Gun: Double Peace were probably thinking when they made their game – a rail shooter that has you shooting “pheromone shots” at girls to make them fall head over heels in love with you. Why? So you can find your true love, of course! Now, doesn’t that make sense?

And what’s a game about falling in love if it doesn’t involve see-through clothing and loads of sensuous moaning?

Soon to be released on the PlayStation 4 and PS Vita!

7. TERA: Rising

Free-to-play TERA: Rising has all the elements of a classic fantasy MMORPG: hundreds of quests, crafting, grinding, and of course, warrior women in ridiculous skimpy armor.

Developer Bluehole Studio went all out designing the looks of the game’s female avatars. Its bevy of beauties range from the tall, busty and long-legged to the tiny and adorable... only those costumes leave so little to the imagination that it gets a little weird. To be fair, some of the male costumes are just as revealing.

Also, to its credit, TERA: Rising impresses with its real-time combat. In fact, it was one of the first few MMORPGs to do away with the “click on enemy till it dies” gameplay. In TERA: Rising, you have to actively dodge strikes, and your attacks need to be timed correctly to land.

It’s among the sexiest games in the industry, and thankfully, it’s also fun to play!

6. Bayonetta, Bayonetta 2

Why do we love Bayonetta? She’s a badass who knows just how hot she is.

Bayonetta is strong, intelligent, witty, elegant... and she owns her sexuality with all the confidence of a queen. She has one of the most seductive resting faces in gaming – and she wears glasses too, which warms the hearts of nerds everywhere. Did we mention she was asleep in a coffin for 500 years? We’re betting her breath still smells heavenly.

Her legs are also a mile long each, which is kind of weird. But hey, she manages to make her unusual proportions sexy, so that’s definitely a plus. And she’s got the moves and the weapons to match those killer looks. Pistols in both hands? How yesterday. Bayonetta has guns attached to her feet. And those long, luscious locks? They transform into giant demons – which must make her the terror of all hairdressers.

Bayonetta and Bayonetta 2 are two of the sexiest games you can play today, and we’re glad to say they’re just awesome.

5. Blade & Soul

This fantasy martial arts MMORPG from South Korea has been wowing gamers all over the world with its stunning graphics. And by that we mean the exquisite CG environments.

Okay, we also mean the character models, specifically the women and their stimulating yet cringe-worthy wardrobe choices. These gals have got it all: unreasonably revealing costumes, skin that glistens as if they’ve just emerged from a tub of oil, extra-thick eyelashes, and voluminous, elegant hair. You have to wonder: are they getting ready for a battle, or a beauty contest?

Fortunately, Blade & Soul isn’t just a good-looking game starring uncomfortably hypersexualized women. Its battle system is in real time, and employs a combo system that brings to mind the fighting game genre. For those outside Asia who are eager to play one of the sexiest games in the industry, they won’t have to wait long to try Blade & Soul; it’s coming out in Europe and the USA in early 2016.

4. Lollipop Chainsaw

A cheerleader in a microskirt who fights using a chainsaw? Well of course you know it’s going to be about more than just zombies!

Lollipop Chainsaw is a hack and slash action game starring the smoking hot Juliet Starling, a zombie-hunting cheerleader who has a head for a boyfriend. Actually, the boyfriend originally came with a body, until she had to lop his head off to prevent his zombification. Did we mention he survived decapitation?

If that sounds ridiculous, that’s because the entire game is insane. Zombie rockers, outrageous violence, cut scenes featuring Juliet in compromising positions, and campy dialogues replete with sexual innuendos are what Lollipop Chainsaw is all about. So if you enjoy your gore which huge dollops of sex, Lollipop Chainsaw is the game to play.

3. Dead or Alive 5 Last Round

Some say the Dead or Alive series is nothing more than a jiggle physics simulation disguised as a fighting game. While that would be unfair to the series – which has produced some genuinely solid fighting titles – you can’t blame the detractors. One look at the women in the franchise’s ever-expanding roster should be enough to tell you why.

From Kasumi to Tina, these are some of the most titillating character designs in the history of gaming. And you can tell where all the money you gave the franchise by buying their games went to by how realistically those CG breasts bounce. Love it or hate it, the developers have mastered the hard science of video game breast physics.

As the latest entry in the series, Dead or Alive 5 Last Round boasts excellent visuals. But hey, when it isn’t busy being naughty, the game is actually a great fighter – one you’ll still play long after you’ve gotten over (or gotten tired of) its explicitly sexual content.

2. Scarlet Blade

There are games that aren’t afraid of exposing a little skin, of resorting to fan service every now and then to appeal to those among the audience who enjoy that sort of thing.

And then there’s Scarlet Blade.

Up to now, we’re not quite sure what Scarlet Blade (a.k.a Queen’s Blade in Korea) is about, but it seems to be a science fiction MMORPG populated by femme fatales who harbor a passionate hatred for sensible clothing. Seriously, the costumes in Scarlet Blade spit in the face of physics, and make the scantily clad women of fantasy games such as World of Warcraft look like Maria von Trapp from The Sound of Music.

Simply put, Scarlet Blade boasts an over-the-top raunchiness that’s hard to swallow. It may be one of the sexiest games in existence, but that comes at the cost of good taste. But hey, at least we can’t fault the game for not knowing its audience!

1. Dead or Alive Xtreme 3

With Dead or Alive Xtreme 3, the Dead or Alive franchise isn’t even trying anymore. Here’s a game that’s being developed for the express purpose of having you ogle 3D female body parts.

Well, okay, maybe they are trying – just a teeny bit. You see, Dead or Alive Xtreme 3, like the previous titles in the beach volleyball spinoffs, isn’t a fighting game, but a sports game! Where you just happen to have the option to dress the girls in tiny pieces of string, fabric, and sometimes, the local island plant life. These girls are practically playing in the nude, but hey, as long as the important bits are (barely) covered up, we can still classify this as sports!

Definitely one of the sexiest games coming out next year!
