Think all sides are guilty of hypocrisy really and it makes posting on here difficult at times.

That said, anytime you have a moderate opinion which doesn't either burn one side down, or build the other up to the heavens you are usually voted down faster than a gigolos boxers.

Not to say that there isn't reasonable debate (with interesting, well considered and thought-provoking comments) to be had, but the partisan inability of some to see any flaws...

Agreed. Yes different genres but gamers like us want both.

I think fallout 4 will sell more than 3. Feels to me like some good will has built up for the series and its highly anticipated.

Not sure about 10 million but maybe 7 or 8?

Yeah I played it through but there's a lot of better over shooters to play before this.

How did a claim for racism against a disgruntled ex-exployee, a situation where neither sides facts can be verified, end up in an argument about the democrats and world war 2?

Well done internet, you managed to overlook the actual facts, and jump straight to a fist fight...again.

100% agreed

I reckon Reach will drop on remaster just prior to Halo 5.

Course you shouldn't take it seriously Spotie, but it does show that something which shouldn't be a big deal still is to some. Maybe its a minority, but its a vocal one.

With stats you may be right to a certain extent but there are certainly more girls gaming than ever before. I for example know two women who bought Witcher 3. Given that i only know about 4 guys who did, thats a fair proportion.

Its also worth noting that in the right circumstances ma...

Ok a few things.

Firstly, I certainly was not telling you what to do and how to think. I even say that. If you took that from what I wrote, you have my apologies.

Oh and clickbait is another term people bandy about if they don't like the content to dismiss it. I don't give a monkey's about clicks Spartan, I wrote it to say something.

It's an opinion piece, it states that clearly. Don't agree or don't believe my sinceri...

Thanks for comments guys.

I appreciate AC has used female leads in DLC and download titles but feel the fresh perspective in the main game could actually help Ubi's creative rut.

And if you don't think its a big deal to put say female players in FIFA (it shouldn't be, I agree), see how some of the internet reacted.

I'm also not arguing that there are great female characters out there, but given that women game more than ever a...

Doesn't the fact it says this:

'From the beginning to the very end, we kept holding out hope, thinking, surely there was more to game than the same recycled content?'

that they desperately wanted to like it but couldn't bring themselves to give an 8 to such a small amount of content?

That's not biased, that's wanting something to be good and it not fulfilling your expectations, Id say that comes from disappointment, no...

Both Inquisition and Witcher 3 are quality games.

Nice to see someone act like adults and admit when somethings worthy of praise, even if it is the competition.

The fact this DLC was released the same day as the tremendously enormous Witcher 3 throws the money-grabbing and stinginess of the content into sharp focus.

Both are great systems so like the guys say, whichever has most of your friends on or the exclusives you like is the best choice.

1st party exclusives are only an element of course, its worth remembering a lot of great upcoming games are multi-platform.

However, never ever confuse popularity with quality (just in general). The fact one system has sold more than the other indicates something (PS4 is doing really well, kudos) but saying 'buy this because it...

As a huge fan of The Walking Dead but someone who found Tales from Borderlands to be hopeflessly dull and pointless and Wolf Among Us to be merely Good, I can see the points raised.

Telltale in particular are on the verge of ruining their schtick by doing the same thing too often.

That said I think Episodic content is a good idea but the release schedule needs to be set and regular. For example, it was something 3 months between Wolf Among us parts 1 and 2...

No matter what the devs say there's no shaking the feeling that the annual release schedule of the AC series is a fiscal decision rather than a creative one.

Creatively speaking AC has been fallow for a number of years. Want an example, Ubisoft think that having you be able to play as a female character 25% of the time represents gameplay innovation. News flash, its really not. Its just a different skin..... but this time with boobs. Everything else is still the same as t...

Some good shouts.

Great villains often have a textured, conflicted and almost likeable quality to them.

Father Comstock is a great example of such a villain as is Handsome Jack and Illusive Man.

The other type is someone who is really hate-able but these guys often come across as one dimensional. Vas from Far Cry 3 for example.

Everyone has missed the most important point.

I.e. What will these games do when the setting no longer allows you to have giant bales of hay to jump in to?

Will a modern set game have the hero jumping into a piles of discarded iPhones or will they simply clumsily insert bales of hay into it anyway?

;)

Id agree perhaps that London or Paris would be good. I love New York but how many times have we seen that on film/game?

The US has been covered pretty well in Fallout from Washington to Vegas to Pittsburgh (DLC) and even a New Orleans type environment in Point Lookout.

If its has to be US, perhaps pick somewhere a bit more novel in US like Florida or Texas.

Although its not something that offends me or that I would buy, I find this amusing. The Japanese gaming market is still a law unto itself... for good and ill.

Its a completely separate issue from political correctness. Political correctness is a good thing, its stopped minorities being beaten to death on our streets for example. (Listen to comedian Stewart Lees take on this issue).
