You relaize that despite gay marraigae being legal in the US that doesn't change that ~30% of the country is opposed?
You realize a siginificant number of elected officials that are still in office attempted to amend the US constitution to ban it.
You realize many of those same people continue to try to do things like pass laws that allow descrimination despite the supreme court determining that the 14th ammendment does apply to sexuality?

The debate about wether or not games are art is stupid. The answer is yes, if you think otherwise, you're a moron. It's that simple. Is it used to express ideas and is it a creative medium? Yes? Art. Done. Advocating any feature based on "the debate about wether or not games are art" is fundamentally off base.
Also, no, it should not be a standard feature. A feature of some games sure. But just as books and movies use the written language and the language...
Go fuck a cactus
In a time when a hugely significant portion of the world population thinks being gay is some kind of sin or otherwise abhorrent, it's not only healthy but necessary for lgbt people, especially those who might otherwise be cut off from resources, to see things like the media re-inforcing the idea that it is ok.
You know how there's this thing for the last ~10 years where suddenly there are all these comparatively quiet, introverted protagonists or heros in media and...
Framerate alone is worth the switch. The FPS on the PS3/360 hovers in the mid 20s, with frequent dips below that, and gets down into the single digits if things get busy.
Now, I don't know if the PS4 version runs at 30 or 60, but the framerate of the PS3 version is so bad, that even if it's locked at 30 it will be a significant improvement.
I believe it should be set in "fuck off bethesda" or maybe, "I'm not paying for single player games with microtransactions"
the article itself says it won't play AAA games. Maybe read it before correcting me hon.
I know right? My PC is my full PC experience for the the TV, and any other display I so choose.
Anti consumer industry behavior is by definition a bigger picture than an individual game, because it shows up in multiple games.
Yes, it does. You're supporting it with the only thing they care about: Money. By buying the game you tell them "you can keep putting these things in the game and I'll buy it anyways, so you should keep doing it because it won't stop me and some people will purchase the microtransactions, therefor there is no downside to includi...
300 bucks will not get you a mid range computer. At least not with new parts. A Mid range computer is ~450-500 as the low end (using new parts) and it will run modern AAA games. Unless by "mid range computer" they mean "random office desktop," in which case sure, 300 bucks will get you that, but that would be super misleading because that's not what mid range computer means to literally any gamer with an even casual interest in PC gaming or hardware.
Anti-Consumer buisness practices are the single most important aspect of a game, bare none. If they're there, don't support it. It doesn't matter if the game is good or not, because by buying it you're giving the OK to their exploitative BS in the only way they actually care about (with your money.) That IS the bigger picture.
You also missed the whole part where there are other reviews. You can look up gameplay footage/reviews if the gameplay and story are...
The point of a review is to give whatever information the reviewer deems necessary to make an informed purchasing desision. If the Reviewers conclusion is that the buisness practices are shitty and therfore you shouldn't buy it, that's the only relevant bit of information in their view and they're 100% justified in not even talking about much/anything else except to provide context to their complaints.
You do not get to decide what the point of a review is and ...
The point of review bombing isn't to say "here is a comprehensive review of the qualities of the product" the point of review bombing is to say "this company has shitty buisness practices and you should not support them."
A 100% valid thing for a review to focus on.
Fighters are garbage, warriors are super garbage, and assassins are OP. Being bad at scaling enemies and having no ranged options options to target weaknesses = terrible class in a game about scaling enemies and targeting weaknesses.
Literally every game has target demographics. Typically, it's 18-35 year old men, because (for what I'm sure is a large variety of factors) they're the ones who buy the most.
Them announcing their game is targeting LGBT people is no different than say, Obsidian or BioWare announcing they're targeting Baldurs Gate fans (which has actually happened with Dragon Age Orgins, billed as a spiritual sequel to Baldurs gate, and Pillars of Eternity, billed as a reviv...

Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from the consequences of your speech. You're free to say whatever you want, and other people are free to shame, mock and ridicule you for saying it. It's a 2 way street.
And no. The authoritarian left is authoritarian, yes, but it's not like the right is much better. Hey, remember that time the FCC killed net neutrality despire a 17% approval rate for that policy? That is litteral facism. The govern...
No it's not. The ideal is to have independant studios be free of publisher influence because publishers ruin just about everything. Especially ones like Obsidian that keep being burned by publishers and almost shut down *because* of MS cancelling a project on them.
And Knights of the Old Republic 2, and Fallout New Vegas, and Tyranny.
It's painfully easy to dodge an IP address ban.
No, it's lootboxes. The whole point of the system is to frustrate people into buying them because it's interminably grindy, and then get them hooked on a positive feedback loop to keep buying them. That's not acceptable, wether it's "just cosmetic" or not.
