“Not saying that Vampire can’t address burning contemporary issues, but holy s**t does Werewolf feel like the right story for our strange times,” Ericsson said. “The tagline for Werewolf is ‘When Will You Rage?’ It’s essentially a radical revenge fantasy where you become a savage warrior of nature, ripping oil-pipelines, corporate boardrooms and narrow-minded bigots to shreds. I think a large percentage of the world can relate to the anger and frustration the Garou feel as they watch us human...
Ew, she said the devs were helping to promote bigotry? Really glad I didn't give that site a click now. Guess I can add newnormative to jstationx and polygon and marysue on my garbage SJW website list.
"The interesting thing about Kinect is it didn’t start necessarily from a gaming place. It started from a place of like, ‘hey, most people are not born knowing how to navigate 3D space using a controller with two analogue sticks, 16 buttons, two bumpers and triggers.’ You know?

There's no "should". Games can have social commentary if they want, but like everything else with social commentary it better know it's audience before doing it or it risks alienating them. First and foremost games are a product, and no one wants to buy a product that's going to lecture them about how awful the creator of that product thinks they are.
As a gay dude, I'd rather have gay characters be subtle than for their gayness to overshadow everything else. Ellie isn't a good or compelling character because of her sexuality. In fact, she'd be pretty much the exact same character if she was straight. Her sexuality is unimportant to the story of The Last of Us, and forcing it to take the spotlight would change the game into something it was never meant to be. But to hell with story integrity, right? All we care about is "r...
I'd rather not be a piece of shit, but hey, to each their own.
You missed the part of the article where Hitman is also running on Azure. Just because a game used MS's cloud, doesn't necessarily mean it's an exclusive. Wait for an actual announcement before getting excited/disappointed.
A game about people getting lost in the mountains would be pretty boring. The only interesting thing about the event Kholat is based off of is the spooky theories about what "really" happened.
Because it takes time to sort out licensing/legal issues and to iron out all the bugs that comes from getting 15+ year old software to run on hardware it was never designed for.
Nobody wants an indiebox. As long as you can buy indie games on a major console and/or PC, these things will never take off because no indie dev in their right mind is gonna sign any kind of exclusivity deal that keeps them off the larger install bases.
Lol, oh my god the delusional alternate reality these people live in.
"I still consider Niko Bellic's tragic tale of the American dream gone awry to be the studio's best storytelling effort to date."
Jesus Christ, not even ten sentences in and I already can't take the writer seriously.
Lol, still pretending cultural appropriation is real, huh?
You do know that certain populations of animals, when not hunted, would explode and ruin entire ecosystems, right? And that hunting itself is regulated to prevent overhunting? Of course you do. Because I can't imagine you formed your opinion about hunting based on something as stupid as a kneejerk emotional reaction instead of research and a thorough understanding of the subject.
Call me when they start selling that jacket the protag of Nocturne wore.
It's almost like video games let you explore things in fantasy that are horrible in real life. Kind of like there's some kind of difference between fantasy and reality. Weird.
Exactly, but no one wants to think logically because they're too into "muh coorprute greeeeeeeed!" and pushing stupid narratives.
Oh look, some website I've never heard of trying to get clicks by giving a game a low score because people are pissy about loot boxes. This is everything that's wrong with gaming journalism.
Lol, most of the Chinese economy isn't "compatible with socialist core values.” It's why they're an economic powerhouse and not a failed state collapsing under its own weight.
