It's not cowardly to professional ties with people who you don't want to be associated with. *Especially* when "anti SJWs" and flat out bigots (not necessarily the same groups of people) are going to dogpile you for doing it and everybody who pays any attention at all knows that.
These are the types of people who mass boycott Target for saying that transgender people can use the bathroom of their gender identity (god I hate that term) and who mass boycott...
because emulators and emulating are perfectly, 100% legal. Downloading illegal copies of games isn't, but you don't have to do that to play emulated games.
Yes, your personal preferences are the one true way to have fun and relax and all others are invalid. Never mind artistic integrity or having the gameplay match what the game claims is happening or the value of adding tension or the fun people find in having to form strategies quickly. Those aren't real.
As later Dead Rising games demonstrate, that literally defeats the purpose. If players don't like it, they can go play a different game. I don't go around demanding the platforming in platformers be optional because I don't like it, because that would literally ruin the game, why do people think it's ok to ask that a game about time management remove the time management?
Literally not possible. Politics are baked in, intentionally or otherwise. That's just how art in general and games specifically tend to works. Refusing to aknowledge the politics already in the game isn't doing anyone any favors.
For a really basic example, just about every action game operates on the base assumption that it's OK to maim or murder other living things and/or people, provided they're trying to advance a cause that's "bad" enoug...
Did you read the article sweetie? Or are you just commenting on the title?
Here, let me give you a quote from it: "A ‘female character’ simply becomes ‘a character’ because all of a sudden it doesn’t matter what gender they are."
Oh the horror. Oh, no wait, that's *EXACTLY" the same thing the "anti-SJWs" say, and it's mostly what is being praised in the article.
Then you don't get to complain about their BS like selling incomplete games at full price. The only complaints they care about are the ones that cost them money.
None of you actually read the article, you're just commenting on the title. It's pretty funny actually, asside from the whole "losing faith in humanity" thing.
That's why you stop buying EA games, not games from specific series.
Tell that to the people who DDOS'd his site and flooded his comment section with stupid comments and death threats.
It was too late before the game was even announced.
Stop buying EA products (and activision products and ubisoft products) or they'll never fix their ****y busniess practices. Seriously, it will only take 1 or 2 50+ million dollar flops to make investors skittish and force them to earn back our goodwill.
No, you can't. Not according to either my memory or the Wiki.
The vast majority of your post is in no way representative of or addressing *any* point I made. We *can* be inclusive. I'm fine with Liara, and Dorian, ect. What I'm not fine with is characters being gay (or trans or straight or anything else) at the expense of pre-established things making sense (like lore or character interactions.)
When you point to me gay characters suddenly be...
I did not state wether or not I agreed with anything he said, I was careful about that. I merely pointed out what it was that he actually said. If bigots decide that they like his argument for being "against inclusivity" (which is isn't) then they're making exactly the same mistake you did, from the other side.
If you want my actual opinion, I agree with him to an extent. Being inclusive is great *if* it adds to, or at least doesn't detract from, the ...
They were used up at Dragon Age 2, they just had some good writers and a fancy new frostbite engine that could cover it up for a while, and the writers all left sometime between ME1 and now.
No, no it doesn't. And before you accuse me of being right wing or homophobic or something.
1: I'm a lesbian
2: I regularly watch Secular Talk and agree with what is talked about most of the time.
3: I'm about as far left as you can go without getting into actual socialism, and I'd even be ok with that if I thought it could work (which, of course, it doesn't, which is why I wouldn't go that far) which puts me left wing even by european stand...
What? You mean BioWare has gone the way of Criterion and Bullfrog and literally everything else EA buys? I'm shocked. Shocked I say.
I mean it's not like EA buys companies, works everyone to death to push out sub par products quickly, making all the talent leaves to escape the EA machine, watching as the quality of the products nose dives, and then dismanteling the company. That's never happened, it definitely could't be happening now.
@Rippcity
You only thing you're agreeing with me, you've actually missed my point. Outside the purely technical (does it work as intended) there *are* no objective standards for judging art, video games included. My 9s and 10s are other peoples 3s and 4s, because I like and value different things. People do stuff like give FF15 and 8 or 9 while saying the combat makes up for the story, but if I'm going into a FF game and the story sucks it's gonna get a 4 be...
I do. I *literally* just explained why.
Yes... because if they don't agree with your opinion it must mean they haven't played the game or have played it very little. Video game standards are objective and everybody has the same values and preferences.
Oh wait no, it's the opposite of that.
Dumb action games marketing themselves as RPGs rarily hold a candle to actual RPGs *cough*Fallout 4*cough* when measured by the standards we'd use for RPGs. One the one side, they're dumb action games so it's not really fair to use the same standard, on the other side they're in a series of RPGs and marketed as RPGs so it's their own fault they don't hold up. (Not that DA:I is great as a dumb action game either, it really isn't, but it's a better dumb action ga...
