Don't click the link: the author gets undeserved money for that.

Bioware: Your own fault. If you're a straight male, you don't deserve choice.

But yeah, romance options suck in DA:I

All he says in this video link is that adults should be able to enjoy what they want; children should not.

Robespierre's presentation in AC5 is pretty moderate. He was a murderous monster IRL; a real "ends justify the means" brute, not too different from modern charismatic terror preachers.

No they won't. Once the feminists start attacking GTAV for being misogynistic for "promoting exploitation of street workers", the right wing press (Fox News) are going to be paradoxically fighting in favour of it.

I mean Breitbart has already gone there. Fox News is next.

I don't really care anyway. I prefer playing as men, but if you don't like what Ubisoft has done, don't buy their (bugged and laggy) game.

And this game edges a step closer to simply being an inferior Star Citizen.

When did reviews become about revenge? I thought they were there to help us decide whether or not to buy games.

By all means tear it to shreds now. Just give credit where it is due when they fix it,

I agree. I'm just saying that when people check metacritic scores when deciding whether to purchase or not in next year's summer sale, when it's all fixed, they're going to be looking at a rating which is lower than it should be, taking into account bugs which are no longer present.

At the end of the day, we need reviews which help us, and metacritic scores based on previous bugs do not (just as scores which ignore existing problems do not).

What the hell does Microsoft have to do with this?

Well that's fine, but I hope this author does a re-review once the game gets patched. People need to know that it has issues now, but we also need to know how good the actual game is once it gets fixed.

5/10 makes sense for a buggy release (like Rome 2 or this), but Unity looks like at least an 8/10 probably a 9/10 once patched.

The ESA are well-known for putting forward selective evidence as a result of their confirmation bias.

Genuine statisticians or economists would rip their studies to shreds.

This is why so many people hate feminists.

I think Valve are probably as responsible for this as Ubisoft.

So the two largest publishers are not on steam...ffs guys (Valve, Ubi and EA): sort this out.

There are unpleasant people everywhere, in every community.

Some people are just immature, narcissistic and utterly inconsiderate. These people give humanity a bad name, but they're not exclusive to "gamers".

Unfortunately, like generations dating back to the ancient Greeks, we just have to learn to live with them, and avoid fighting amongst ourselves (many people involved with GG and games feminism seem to be mostly attacking the members of thi...

As the article says:

Step 1: Post ethics policies

But I'll add another important action:

Step 2: Apologise for the fact that many people consider content to be quite biased, and make efforts to make things *more* objective (i.e. don't behave like a child and create a "100%" objective review like Jim Sterling; just try and make things a bit less focused on social issues, which we all have diverse and complex views on).

There was an article in the Telegraph today about a Japanese whisky being named world number 1, with two bourbons taking second and third and not a single scotch in the top five. Of course this was just one guy, and critics rightly pointed out that maybe he just had a thing for bourbon. Perhaps the Japanese whisky is the best, but without some form of formal objective methodology to prove it, his word is meaningless.

The point is that we all have our own tastes in everything,...

I certainly felt a bit of bias in there, but it doesn't address the real problem which is social justice preaching (I stress "preaching"; there are better ways to discuss social justice) in articles.

It can get a bit one-sided at times, and if anything positive can come out of this, I hope it'll be more debate about such issue as less monologue.

I mean they're interesting discussions to have, but without pitting two arguments against eac...

To be fair it's not 50/50

Gamergate is a response to social justice preaching, and so as the latter is the first mover, it takes the blame for starting this.

The rational view of course is for people to shut up and let the free market work its magic.
