I think the DRM stuff is just fine as long as you're playing digital games. It was the extension to physical games that was the real problem.

There are NOW, that's kind of the point-- that we changed the system to make it more inclusive. There weren't books targeted at women when Gutenberg first made the printing press, only men, and this was considered desirable. In some middle eastern countries, girls still have to fight to go to school at all. If women didn't fight for what we have, we wouldn't have it.

Life is change. How it differs from the rocks!

Don't be afraid of us.

Yes m'lord. We'll try to stay out of your media from now on. All of it. Because we're not allowed to try to change the culture, we shouldn't expect books, movies, television or games that are directed towards us, or that even take us seriously as something other than objects. You know what, let's just all go back to the good old days-- the 1200s. Man, we knew better than to try to get in the menfolk's way then!

Yeah, I don't think it's all trolls. There are too many, and there are too many agrees with the people who say this kind of stuff.

Um. Maybe we cry sexism because these people are not questioning her past qualifications as a person working in the industry (or not, as the case may be) but specifically making sexist comments about how her appearance and sex.

You know what sucks? That women feel we have to justify ourselves at all when we speak by telling people we are gamers.

Edit: You know what sucks more? To know you are limited in your field because of what you are rather than what you ...

Do we actually know pre-order numbers? The only thing I have really seen is an Amazon page that only has the Xbox One two places behind the PS4 in total preorders, while the current page (not the YTD one) says it's beating the PS4...

I don't see Windows as being a huge advantage unless they intend to allow Windows applications to come over, which is unlikely. If you can't write a Word document, where's the advantage to having Windows and all it's legacy supporting systems? But even if you can, why have the limitations of a console when you're writing a Word document?

I understand using Windows because they don't want to program a new OS for the console (that's expensive, after...

New Vegas was far more in keeping with the original games than FO3. Small decisions create larger consequences, rather than just "do you nuke Megaton or not." The ending for NV was also nowhere near as contrived as FO3's "my friend is immune to radiation but I must still sacrifice someone because drama."

I do applaud Bethesda for trying to get you to care about your dad, though. Past family is rarely tried for in RP games; I don't think they did it...

Look, people are told that they should report these things. Better safe than sorry and all that-- "I'm going to kill people lol" doesn't necessarily mean that you're not going to kill people. The police or prosecutor or whatever should have had more discretion after actually investigating this kid. We pay them to investigate people who make statements that they're going to hurt others, they should know the difference.

Halo - without Bungie, and even in the article, no real information.
Crimson Dragon - an "on rails shooter"? Since when do we like on-rails shooters?
D4 - No gameplay, but it uses Kinect somehow. Woot?
Quantum Break - the game tied to television or something. Yeah, honestly not sure, it seemed like the trailer was mostly live action at E3, so whatever.
Forza 5 - well, I'm not a racing fan. I've heard the complaints about the old racing gear no...

@SyncGamer: I'm anti-DRM (well... I'll qualify that, some DRM is worse than other DRM, I didn't like the way this was being done for the One's disc-based games), and I don't think this is going to close studios any more than the usual closures, but a AAA game needs more than just a few people in a garage. The studio I work for has > 50 people, and that's not including all the people we have behind us at the publisher level or outsourcing... and we don't even mak...

I thought PSN let you make an account with a store in another region... that would be really inconvenient, I'll admit, but wouldn't you still be able to get online?

In development, you have the data on a PC and the console reads from there. It's way faster than transferring all X gb of data to the console before you start debugging. Even if they were doing that at E3 (which I'm fairly certain they weren't), the game would still be running on the console, not streaming from somewhere else.

(PS, I think disagree is just a fast way to say no sometimes.)

Yeah, I'm with you. Except I know I'll break, which makes me sad, since it looks like they've replaced the whole cast.

I'm going to try for the Japanese version.

I think the real issue is just that the clothing options suck. I don't think it's so bad to be able to tweak breast size and shape. Options are good! I do think it's kind of crap if the only options for the female characters' clothes are not-armor, while the male characters' have the option of armor and not-armor.

Although, heels for adventuring is just stupid unless you're a Roman Centurian.

Ok, so let's say it was faked because the interface is slow and sucks. Who cares? It's not like this is related to anything about gaming anyways, it's just some crappy television service. Maybe we gamers shouldn't even talk about them at all. Act like MS hasn't even revealed their new console, stop upping their google rankings, etc.

"Why make it mandatory? They're obviously up to something."

This is seriously paranoid.

They're making it mandatory to avoid having fragmented market share on the Kinect. They want developers to use it, and that won't happen if it's an add on peripheral instead of a vital part of the system.

We can argue that we don't want them to do that, but this isn't some conspiracy to rob you of your privacy by watching...

This is weird. How can you have Conroy but not have him be Batman? Is he going to play the Grey Ghost or something?

Oh I know! Sweet! It's actually a Batman Beyond game! We're really dealing with Terry McGinnis as Batman, Bruce Wayne as the old man, and for extra specialness, Tim Drake will reprise his role as crazy Baby J.

"It seems the system will not be able to play video games from discs, from downloads, from streaming services."

The best games are the ones you can make with your imagination. BRAIN INTERFACE CONFIRMED.

Sony just wishes they came up with the Xbox 9.
