Honestly not bait, I just thought it was an interesting topic to talk about. I'm genuinely excited for Marina and Pearl and I personally don't agree with all of the criticisms being levelled at Marina, mentioned in this post. (Most of the criticism is on social media btw, which is why it didn't show up on Google!)
I have updated the post to mention that you can make black Inklings though, thanks for pointing that out.
Yes, there are male-only quests as well.
It goes without saying that 'not all male gamers' etc. have the same interests/are interested in competition and destruction. I think the purpose of the study is just to show how a particular demographic 'may' prefer one type of game/game mechanic over the other.
Op here. Just to clarify, the original headline does not include the phrase "colored characters." An N4G admin changed it to that and I have no control over their edits.
According to an interview the developer did all the way back in 2013 ( http://shogungamer.com/news... if the game does come to any consoles, it'll be on Xbox (not sure if that's 360 or One, though) first.
Things might have changed now, but that's what I found!
Just to clarify, Mass Effect: Andromeda is on the list not just because of its character creation, but because of its attitude to to LGB relationships/stories. There are a lot of games that would fit the bill based on character creation alone but we're also looking forward to Andromeda because of that.
And being totally honest, I don't know enough about the upcoming expansion pack to be excited for it but if it's a big deal then I'll research it and see if we ...
Exactly! That's why her presentation in The Walking Dead: Michonne is so important, the episodes are specifically about how she deals with an emotional trauma, so that should be a marked improvement, no?
N4G won't let me reply to your comment (#1.1.1) but back in October, Shadow of the Colossus' level designer gave Prey for the Gods his blessing ( https://www.facebook.com/pr...
That doesn't mean that Team ICO won't sue them based on the comparisons but it doesn't look as though the Prey for the Gods team have anything to be worried about!
Harmonix is sponsoring the GaymerX (GX3) games convention, not the other way round!
The CE was "just announced" as a UK exclusive with the retailer GAME and the backlash to its pricing is also quite recent. The CE wasn't just announced in general.
That wasn't clear in the post so I have since removed "just announced" from the article.
Maybe this will prevent delays, though? If a developer is ready to show a game off at E3 with a release right after, they'd have to be absolutely convinced that the game would be ready on time.
As we've seen with Watch Dogs and The Division, announcing these games years in advance only leads to delays and heartbreak further down the line.
I've been disappointed with the story in past NBA 2K games, so I'm really excited about this!
Summer Camp will be released on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. No word on a release date yet, though.
This is fantastic, I hope more companies follow their lead!
I'm usually the last person to defend Call of Duty but Black Ops 3 does actually let you play as a female character, both in the campaign and in multiplayer. That's a massive step forward, I think.
Resogun is absolutely fantastic on PS4, so this is great, I'll probably check it out on Vita too now!
Controversial opinion (possibly) but does nobody think that the exclusivity of these games (SFV and RoTR) is warranted?
It's been made pretty obvious that RoTR wouldn't exist without EXTRA support - Square Enix couldn't afford to make the game (at least not of a quality that we'd expect) by themselves. They called the sales of Tomb Raider (2013) disappointing and it wasn't until the re-release that they actually made any money.
As for SFV ...
Yeah, exactly! And Burnout's car packs were fun but these seem like a way to get money out of us :/
Not sure if it's just me but does it rub anyone else the wrong way that Ubisoft is selling car packs for a game that *already* has microtransactions?
I know it's optional, but still...
@Tekolie I'm hesitant to include the negative social media posts because I don't want the people who posted them to see backlash. Not everyone who disagrees with them is going to be level-headed.
And re: calling it a controversy. Again thanks for the feedback and will keep that in mind for next time.
