It's a case-by-case basis. People will find a way to be offended by anything sexual. It's pretty pathetic, actually, as if sexual content is some sort of forsaken taboo. Sure, there are cases of downright stupid amounts of sexual content, but those are usually called out by the gaming community long before the mainstream media goes after them. The ones the mainstream finds first are usually reaching.
Sexuality in games is not inherently bad: that's a fact. Bayonet...
Well, for a while, it actually did use the same engine as NIGHTS, but Yuji Naka threatened to leave Sega if they didn't stop using the engine.
Yeah, it's the streaming and video chats that sell the thing. If you dig those, go for it. If not...wait for a price drop.
I'm going to say something I never, ever thought I'd say: I think Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is a better game than Destiny.
That fish-eye lens didn't really help.
"Windowlicker" in GTA V will always have a place in my heart.
Eh...God of War's got tiresome after a while. If there were less enemies that used them, I'd buy that, but overall, there were too many.
You monster!...
...nah, it's cool. It happens. No worries. Thanks. :)
"...for every Chell there’s a Cortana, for every Samus there’s a Bayonetta..."
This argument is trying to say that Cortana and Bayonetta are unnecessarily sexualized, and that it's a bad thing. Samus and Chell good. Cortana and Bayonetta bad.
Listen: there are many women in this industry who treat characters like Bayonetta as powerful female figures in gaming. Sexuality is not a sign of weakness, and I'm saying this as someone who talks with...
How about we just judge game protagonists by the quality of their character and personality instead of their outward appearance?
The irony of Jim being so smug about his "objective" review is that it wasn't objective at all. Not in the least.
What a lot of folks don't understand is that media is not limited to what you write down or what's on screen. There's this whole other atmosphere that exists outside of the frame. You're still deciding what to focus on. You're still deciding what is important enough to publish. By not including something, any bit of information in...
I've heard a lot about Freedom Wars, actually. Looks awesome.
If you still think the Wii U is going to outright tank, flounder and die after everything this year, there's just no pleasing you.
This wouldn't be so much of a problem if Nintendo just localized software like Fatal Frame V without all the hassle of waiting or lack of assurance. Nintendo's release schedules for the different regions only make the region-locking issue worse. Either localize the content more concurrently between the regions or do away with region-locking altogether.
That MGS3 ending...man, what a tearjerker. :(
I'd love it if Nintendo would release the DKC SNES trilogy on the US Wii U Virtual Console too!
For me, it was Sonic 3 and Knuckles, but Banjo-Tooie was definitely a contributor as well.
Resogun was my favorite PS4 game at the system's launch. Great to see it come to the Vita.
Sony saw the Aphex Twin videos and said, "YES! Get that director for our commercials!"
Yeah, Ubisoft isn't making their case with PC gamers any better.
