If a woman rapes you and you get laughed at it's only because of a sexual hierarchy that exists in society in the first place.
When did I ever say I condone violence done to men? All I ever said was that I don't condone the oppression of women. The power relations between women and men are asymmetrically in favour of men, and so men somewhat deserve a derisive treatment and representation to dissolve the exploitative and oppressive power of patriarchy.
Women are oppressed by culture and society - encouraged to eat a certain way and look a certain way, and generally shaped by men's aggressive interests (in mind and in body). Until only recently many men believed themselves superior to women- secretly believed they'd a God given role to be the strong leader figure, and that women are mere meat to provide pleasure and afford reproduction to continue a male legacy, which is a completely backwards cultural construction, and still persist...
I can't believe the ignorance on N4G. 100% missing the point.
Pretty much nobody in these comments understands the nature of representation. You have to step outside of the world of the game and realise that it's a game made by other people- other humans. Humans bring their assumptions and preconceptions to everything they do and these manifest themselves in various ways. Games aren't free from ideology and power. People who make games inadvertantly reproduce and ...
PCs already currently outperform the PS4, and that gap will widen for the next decade. It's the (presumed) price point that makes the Ps4 good. Also the stability of a console- No fidgety patches and compatibility issues and effectively getting sold short because your PC can't run the game at max settings. All Ps4 games will work and run identically on all Ps4s, and that's a plus in my book for consoles in general.
Oh damn, I didn't realise this was well underway. Finally.
You don't know what you're talking about unless you've fought the Coliseum fights or any of the optional / super bosses in either of the games. All of those require a lot of concentration, micro-managing and precise timing. To be honest, if all the fights were that hard, the game probably wouldn't be enjoyable at all, but they should make the main story fights maybe a little bit harder (which it is possible to do)
Oh diggidy damn! This just screams classic Crash! I hope this is real. There was already a classic Spyro hoax that was debunked a few months ago. Some guy started a twitter for the company who made Enter the Dragonfly claiming that they were working on a new Spyro that would return to the roots. Man that was disappointing....
EDIT: Just realised it's Vicarious developing it... sceptical.
Em, well I've played like every Final Fantasy games thus far and consider myself a huge fan. In fact I've played tons of rpgs, and I still think the XIII games are decent. They're not the best FFs but they're still amazing in the visual and audio departments. They lack the meat of the previous games, but for what they are, they're certainly not bad.
Hmmm, his comment about the battle system only requiring the same strategy every time is false. Of course you always build up the stagger meter, but it's very important how and at what rate you do it. He obviously didn't fight Gilgamesh or any of the Coliseum fights (bloody hell they're hard.) or Raspatil for that matter.
The battle system is quite complex, I suppose the only reason it mightn't seem that way is because the actual main stories of the games don&...
It wouldn't be anything special. Just another flashy blockbuster with roughly the same quality as the Prince of Persia movie.
Ya see the only reason the games seems special is BECAUSE they're games. The moment they become a film = mediocrity. None of the games we play are actually well written, they're just helped a lot by the gameplay aspect.
I'm sure it'd be loaded with that 300 style slo-mo killing too, because killing people is really ...
Just put it in the game. God sake.
So excited for SMTIV and Soul Hackers.
You only think that because you've construed me as meaning that people are going to go out and harpoon whales, i.e. that games directly and immediately influence behaviour, which is only the case if you're extremely mentally "different" in the first place.
Think about culture and society for a second- think about how gradually and subtly those things change. Media and entertainment have big parts to play in that shift, particularly in this day and age. By an...
They should worry about real problems, absolutely, but it's stuff like this that contributes to an overall cultural understanding of whaling. Of course people aren't going to go out and spear whales, but stuff like this makes people take the issue of whaling less seriously- makes people avoid the reality and pop ACIV in where they go and kill very convincing REPRESENTATIONS of whales.
It's what it REPRESENTS that's important, not whether it's materially r...
Toned down magical elements... hmmm
The reason they get released so frequently isn't because they're rushed but because they have loads of different teams developing at once. Black Flag started development started development like 2 years ago, and is releasing at the end of this year, that's 3 years development time. They probably even have a team developing or planning Assassin's Creed V as we speak.
In fairness though it IS glorifying whaling by it's representation. They're making it fun and thrilling to harpoon whales for chrissakes. You ultimately can't fully divorce the representation of such a thing from it's reality, and to think you can is wilfully ignorant and naive.
If it's completely optional I'll just ignore it because after the game does look really good. I hope they don't force you to do it like when animals attack you in AC3, tha...
Also Breath of Fire.
There is the risk that they'd eff up all three of these games though...
Terrible cliched name, but nevertheless I hope it's a game not a film.
DON'T OUTSOURCE THE BOSS FIGHTS. THE MISSING LINK BOSS FIGHT WAS THE RIGHT WAY TO DO IT. Address that, and you're golden. Human Revolution was incredible.
This is what happens when you gaze into the future too much. You just lose the plot. Your mind houses time paradoxes and you just start breaking down.
