Satire articles on N4G are normally very clearly marked as such, so most people will be assuming that this is not satire.
I completely agree, but just because we don't particularly take an interest in these things, it's immensely important to defend them in order to protect artistic license.
If we don't, the artists who design games will gradually be replaced by PR people. Games will become ever more bland and inoffensive, instead of being powerful and innovative.
So we all have to attack organisations which bow to pressure for their own good, regardless of what cont...
How is pandering to closed-minded Western bigots a good thing?
Social justice nazism should not be dignified.
LGBT people comprise at most around 5% of the population. That includes bi people.
If you can't see how this small minority are massively overrepresented, then I feel sorry for you.
The thing is, I don't believe that anyone is opposed to having a gay and lesbian option for people that way inclined.
The problem is when there are several LGBT options with precious few for the majority of people who play the game.
I believe the next Mass Effect is being written by the guy behind Halo 4.
So glad.
He was one of the most militant SJWs working at the company.
I hope whoever takes over can at least try and balance the different preferences of fans rather than taking sides and outright insulting many.
Very true.
So many Western games release lazy soundtracks, but Mass Effect is one of the few which stand out.
Skyrim.
Lol
Awful combat.
It was like watching a movie with grinding.
Go away puny SJW fly.
It wouldn't need a year off if they actually changed the game in some meaningful way.
Why not let us make our own assassin? What about giving us moral choices? Perhaps they can allow us to join templars or assassins?
The series is stale.
As long as nobody is being directly harmed I don't see a problem.
It's not like most people will play those games thinking it is anything more than funny or weird anyway.
A business decision based on demand is fine.
However a lot of these decisions are made to avoid angering mobs. Angry mobs are the problem.
And I'm sorry, but I do not tolerate bigots who try to define what is "culturally acceptable" to their community. Don't like it, don't buy it. Other people can make their own minds up.
Also bear in mind that a lot of these games target niche markets, so what the majority of people th...
It's angry mob censorship.
Whether or not the police come and ruin your life for non-compliance, or an angry mob, it is still censorship.
I expect that's Silicon Valley rubbing off on him.
To be honest, how else would you expect him to respond to that?
"Oh no, please don't report us; we'll do whatever you ask"?
I think the implication is that the complaint has no basis.
Well we can live without video games, but that doesn't mean they're not immensely enjoyable!
Let me first say that the statistic that "we have a equal amount of women playing games" is correct but highly misleading.
It does not take into account how long women spend playing games, how much money they spend on them, or what type of games they even like to play. Also, coming from a background in statistics, I'm also going to point out that a lot of the methodology is flawed; do note that while the industry, and all of us want more women to play games (ima...
