I'm buying it regardless what the media says.
The game looks fantastic and it's from a great studio.
I just finished The Order, personally I thought it was awesome.
This game needs a sequel!!!
I can imagine they can write with greater intimacy about a character of the same gender based off past experiences.
But then again looking at famous authors, they're capable of writing fantastic characters of different genders (e.g Mary Shelley + Frankenstein) or even different species (Jack London + White Fang.)
Personally I think creating compelling characters is more down to the skill and capability of the writer rather than their gender.
Can they...?
April Ryan from The Longest Journey (Ragnar Tornquist)
Alyx Vance from Half Life( Marc Laidlaw)
Glados from Portal (Erik Wolpaw/Chet Fasliszek)
Jade from Beyond Good and Evil (Michel Ancel)
Elaine Marley from Monkey Island (Tim Schafer)
Clementine from The Walking Dead (Sean Vanaman)
I'd say yes. Can female writers create good male characters?( Amy Hennig and Nate Drake) - also yes.
Dea...
Yes Driveclub has nicer weather, very nice in fact, but I don't think we need a weather comparison article every other day.
How about comparing scenery destruction, off road racing, events, game world size, A.I, multiplayer, customization,cars, tracks, anything instead of the weather..... again.
Amy Hennig (creative director of Uncharted 1 to 3) is now the creative director for a Visceral Games/EA Star Wars game!

The Han Solo game is just rumor at this point, but given the history of the people involved it 'could' happen.
That would be cool if true.
Amy Hennig's the right person for a great story/characters, and Visceral did great stuff with Dead Space - so yeah , I hope it's true.
I'm actually pretty excited by all the new VR and AR tech, it'll be interesting to see what new experiences are possible off the latest hardware.
I remember playing Spirit Camera(?) on the 3DS , an AR horror game - it had it's flaws , but it also had some really cool moments. Current tech may not be 100% perfect - but it's getting better and better all the time.
Looking forward to seeing this in action , the new Crackdown uses the Cloudgine - I'm hoping for mass scale destruction like in that tech demo they showed.
Yes, they are all 'games'..... but with different target demographics. Those gender stats don't highlight this.

It's misleading to say something like "36% of gamers are old women, GTA isn't catering enough for female gamers." Especially when the majority of that demographic jus...
The most shocking thing about this is the lack of research on ABC's part - weren't most of these claims debunked, as in months ago?
Rami ismail from Vlambeer is close friends with Maya Kramer , Brandon Boyer et all.
He's not going to say anything bad against them.
Gamergate at it's core is about ethics. The people they accused diverted the accusations into ''gamers against women'' as a means of evading the issues and controlling the argument. They do that type of stuff all the time.
On top of that the whole thing has been complicated by trolls wh...
Actually I'd say the dangers of speaking out apply BOTH ways.
Just taking one look at Leigh Alexander's Twitter is enough to show how many people (men AND women) are openly doxxed, abused and have even had their careers ended for no fault other than choosing to think for themselves.
The abuse experienced on both sides is indeed terrible, but it's the abusers themselves who are to blame - not entire groups of society. It's important to establi...

The threats against Sarkeesian and Wu were uncalled for, and I wholeheartedly hope the police catch 'those who are responsible.'
But neither of the threats mentioned gamergate at all - so why the false accusation???
We're all individuals, we are accountable for what we choose to do , right?
How exactly is assigning the blame of the actions of an individual on to an entire group of society in any way fair, logical or reasonable??? (Especia...
It looks fantastic, + the Wii U gamepad is perfect for this game.
Please Nintendo - bring this game to the west.
Hey , no problem.

I'm sure this article will go down well. Lol.
Nobody hates Sarkeesian because she's a woman, nobody hates her for expressing her opinion.
People dislike her for her constant misrepresentation of gamers and the industry. We are NOT misogynists or rapists.
Freedom of speech and criticism applies equally to those with a differing viewpoint than hers- she should accept that too.
Most gamers feel her behavior is deliberately attem...
That's right.
Galahad gets shot by sniper at the docks when he and Lakshmi are trying to break the lock on the gate - then they start shooting.
Also at the house, they are spotted climbing up the side to the balcony which is when the shooting starts.
The story was great, it's not the Dev's fault if journalists can't be bothered.
