@RgR I think 95% of the population has enough of a spine that the other marginalized 5% can have its own self-congratulatory pat-on-the-back once in a while without throwing a fit.
Gay magazine wants gay awards. It's as simple as that. If such a vocal straight white media outlet exists, I'm sure it would be so small that I would have to have absolutely nothing else to do to even hear about it on my own, let alone care.
You're very right. Being gay doesn't define me but it's part of who I am. Things like this - simple acknowledgements of people/characters like me of power in my favorite hobby - are reminders that we are normal and influential despite the horrible and nasty things that are said about us (like some of these comments), nevermind the struggles of *real life* and the fear of, for example, your religious boss learning who the other half of "we" is when talking about your week...
For the LGBT here, have you in your local cities opened up a local gay newspaper or magazine? That's what this is. A gay outlet providing gay awards.
Univision honors latins. BET honors the black community. CMT honors country music.
Suddenly we are being exclusionary by having gay awards for gay characters on media outlets owned, operated, and read by other gay people? It's a thing by us and for us and anyone, gay or straight, is welcome to see/read the awa...
I agree with 0% of his opinion so here's another opinion, from reading the article:
It's an award ceremony by a gay magazine, for its gay readers, bringing attention to gay video game characters and personas.
This isn't IGN or Gamespot or some mainstream news outlet trying to be woke with token awards. It's quite literally a gay magazine catering to its community.
If it was IGN, yeah, I'd be totally in agreement. But...
15 million players, and 1 million units sold through Steam alone in the last few months.
It started as an example of GaaS failures. It's one of MS' most engaged titles now. It's not my cup of tea, but I think this game's story is a good example of the "creative freedom" MS studios have now.
You're right. And there's a zero percent chance that the CEO *didn't* know what was going on.
Keep the prices down, because there are a lot of 6-7-figure salaries that just got eliminated. And this pro-consumer move is some good publicity to improve their image.
To be featured in Halo: Beyond
Hard Light Forerunner technology has been leveraged to form a spherical shield around Chief when crouched, portable Hard Light units only have a 4' diameter requiring this orientation.
Bam - the canonical explanation is ready.
You are right. It's anything at all that even touches on social issues.
Comments here in TLOU2 articles pre-launch would keep insulting Druckman and saying he should be fired, label Abby as trans, and worse. I remember an article about Apex Legends having a gay character because of a single reference in one sentence of one character's bio. One sentence, that someone pointed out on Twitter, that some website made a small article from, that got posted here. Hundreds o...
The Grappling Hook. Xbox's Instagram shows a gif and zoom in of his visor looking at the Banished Brute, as if it's scanning him.
The Metroid-like rumors might be true after all.
You're right sampsonon, because PS fans don't know what a good FPS even is. All they got was a Killzone at launch and stole Microsoft's first dibs on COD content for the last 7 years.
Aaron, if you're only going to complain there's a better use of that time. You've made up your mind already that you're going to find something else to complain about.
You think the SSD is off-the-shelf parts even.
I don't understand how people can't grasp the idea of developers being able to scale a game based on different hardware. It's like they've never heard of "PC"s and "graphics options" lol
Two whole years ago... Time sure flies. The MS talking heads have been saying constantly it's the campaign reveal.
Then maybe people would've heard of it. I didn't know this thing existed. And now that I know it's not F2P... Meh
Bungie made such high quality models, will be excited to try this out. Would've been cool to have a mode where all weapons behaved like the heavies
I'm pretty sure Phil has only shown excitement for PlayStation. But... People accused him of distracting the TLOU2 release with Xbox propaganda when he was complimenting their game.
Xbots don't have to go after Clank because The Medium is next-gen only for the same reason. They have Spider-Man MM to go after, because that game/engine is literally the benchmark used to compare PS4/5 loading speeds.
Love the excitement in the tweet responses, and Xbox joining in. Couldn't be more excited to finally see it next week!
Let's never encourage paying for a demo again 😜
Last time we did that for Halo, Crackdown turned into a franchise...
Razzer... you posted a few days ago your PC right? How the heck do you have a 2080 TI but know nothing about graphical settings?
Foxtrot, yes, your comment is being against the LGBT community.
You are saying that a gay owned magazine should not have a gay award ceremony. Are you also against the GLAAD Awards? Did you know that the GLAAD Awards even exist?
There are hundreds of gaming awards on all kinds of websites/magazines, and the bigger televised ones like the VGAs. This one just wants to do its own thing to honor its own community.
"It’s not like they a...
