This is Japan we're talking about. Land of the Rising Penis. They even have a legit Penis Festival for crying out loud!

now THIS I approve of.

Bwahahaha!

You guys...you guys! XD

This sounded fake from miles away! XD

Like all the previous Shenmue 3, Dreamcast 2, Half Life (2: Episode) 3, etc...

Fanrumors, like memes, do spread around the interwebs like rabid fires :P

the fact that people talk shit about the boobs poster is ridiculous. they should just stare in silence.

It's sad that this is what's news in January.

This should be news year round.

haha

Welcome to the new year Alex.

Ivy? Boobs? Ad? How can anyone have a problem with that? :)

Thank you Alex for covering this vicious back-and-forth. Early contender for story of the year!

I've said it once - and I'll say it again - Soul Caliber lost the damn plot after 2. Remake that in HD and give it online. The weapon master thing was perfect.

The Soul Calibur... hey, it worked for Mortal Kombat, that's proof enough that any stale 90's franchise can get away with a cheap nostalgic make over.

Kind of horrified by the number of people in these comments saying that the Ivy ad is somehow inoffensive "because it works."

Apparently no advertiser ever can be faulted for being creepy, as long as the ad's effective! Neat!

Christ. Thank you.

I really could not care less if sex sells. This ad is in really poor taste.

that codpiece isn't revealing enough for my taste. I like a tighter fit. Need to see some shape outlined. :D

I am outraged at boobs. As an infant I was repeatedly had boobs shoved in my face. That is the kind of thing you never really get over... Now to have to witness boobs again. Can't we simply outlaw boobs before more harm is done?

When I need some monday morning boner groaner, I come to GiantBomb for the best man-crotch shots.
