Yeah imagine if a game introduced a male character with his legs sticking out of a bathtub then panning the camera slowly up the rest of his naked bathing body. Imagine if he was forced to walk around topless for periods of the game or wearing nothing but a tiny towel.
You people don't know the true horror of a woman having to look at another woman's body with the aesthetically pleasing parts highlighted. As we all know, the female body is an ugly ugly thing and should a...
Polygon are clickwhores and nothing more. Sadly the most popular way to get clicks these days is to accuse somebody or something of being somehow bigoted or not socially progressive enough. Hence the, 'Is Geralt's White hair racist' and 'Is the fact that female characters in videogames have breasts misogynistic, transphobic and racist?' articles.
Yes I am. If I want pure kinetic gameplay I'll play Angry Birda. If I want to get lost in an atmospheric, beautiful world I'll play a game that promises such a thing. If I buy a game that promised such a thing and didn't deliver I feel lied to.

exactly, it makes me so happy I too want to randomly punch my keyboard to celebrate.
I want to pick this game up and really enjoyed The Witcher 2 (until I had to stop playing because it gave my Mac panic attacks even on low settings) but I don't know if I can do it with Dragon Age Inquisition sitting around uncompleted. I also feel like I might have done too much exploring a big open fantasy wilderness in that game and it might dull the thrill of doing it in this one.
It seems every bit of logical thinking I can muster is telling me to wait a while to pick t...
Thanks to the coupling of that comment and that avatar I will never look at Tom Hanks the same way again.
1. Bland protagonist
2. HUGELY downgraded visuals.
3. Awful driving mechanics.
4. Hacking gimmick turned out to be a few shallow single button prompt actions.
5. Repetitive missions.
6. Bugs and glitches up the wazoo.
There you go, you get the first 6 without even pressing me.
"Or i am just a gamer who doesnt care for graphics but just the game"
See my reply to Elyuuou further down the page. Not caring how a game actually looks doesn't make you a more 'real gamer'. If anything it makes you a dullard who only appreciates the medium on the level of a cup and ball game.
I have to admit I'm a little sick of this smug, 'gameplay is the only thing that matters to meee' attitude. It also seems to be implying that one is a better appreciator of Videogames because they don't get caught up in such trivial nonsense as what the game looks and sounds like, they're cultured enough to simply care about the core gameplay mechanics.
I really don't believe that's the attitude of a person who really appreciates the medium of gaming....
That's a healthy attitude I guess. Oh that reminds me, I have to get rid of this luxury yacht by the end of today and I thought, since you're clearly a person of refined tastes, I should let you have it for only $5000. Remember, this is a multi-million dollar value yacht for only five grand.
Okay, we got a deal? Alright well stop reading here because this next bit's only for the other folks on this site.
.....it's not really a yacht. It's...
So why no reviews yet? Embargo or just more of the big gaming sites not actually bothering to review games and focusing on celeb gossip instead?
Waiting to pick this one up is no problem for me anyway. I've been a big Batman fan my entire life and loved the first two games but despite the flashy graphics I just can't get excited for this one. I can't help but feel like it's only being made because the money men demanded another entry in the series. Also the fact that I have far less time and inclination to game than I used to means my backlog and possibly The Witcher 3 will keep me busy for months.
Maybe I'm just still not thinking straight after the Silent Hills cancellation but my only thoughts were that I'm ired of being treated like I'm 13, I'm beyond sick of beating up explosions while dubstep plays. I think I'm sick of gaming. I just wish gaming would get its Coen Brothers, Paul Thomas Anderson or Martin Scorcese. I'm tired of playing digital Michael Bay films and I'm tired of playing minimalist 'art pieces' about moving a small blue square acro...
Gaming has been creatively locked down by money men, just like the American movie industry was. Anything monetarily 'risky' (meaning 'creative') is opposed at every step whereas every next recycled seven hundredth prequel to a tired franchise or cash cow F2P multiplayer shooter is rushed out as soon as humanly possible.
Ofcourse the occasional creative experience will slip through the cracks but those will be the exception to the rule. For the most part, just li...
I've not managed to recreate that movie's ending yet but I've recreated Paul Walker's ending more times than I'd care to admit.
...I thought about it and decided it was worth losing the bubble.
I'm pretty sure that's just the Internet, which in turn is just people interacting without the threat of permanent damage to their reputation. If you don't believe me go find a forum for lawnmower enthusiasts and ask a simple question about lawnmowers, the people trying to help you will be outnumbered 10 to 1 by people smugly suggesting you just let your backyard grow wild if you can't handle such a simple lawnmower related problem.
For those not in the know, the 'helicopter' is when the man swings it around in a circular motion by flexing his hips. I haven't watched the video yet but I'm already impressed somebody was able to do this.
Hey, leave that fighting through walls thing alone. If it wasn't for that I'd be working my way through a giant pig's small intestine right about now.
I definitely would love to see the repetitive cut and paste type of side mission die off. I love Dragon Age Inquisition but man is that game the zenith of tacked on repetitive side missions. Yes they're technically optional but I still feel like I'm letting a member of my team down by not helping them out, because I don't want to spent hours literally travelling to different map points and hitting randomly placed rocks until they explode.
