Videogames stories suck and borrow from superior literature and film, got it.
"Whhha? Mass effect is way better than 2001 and tarkofskys solaris!!!! "
I mean, It's not The Beatles.
@The Black Smoke: No no, ofc MGS can continue to do its wild flair style of story / art, if that's what it wants to do. It's good to have ridiculous games like Lollipop Chainsaw, or Arcade classics like TimeSplitters where EVERY female is ridiculously sexual.
But the characters motive is flawed if she dresses like that, like Gespenst pointed out. Some journalists and gamers just want more mature themes and writing, and moves like this with Quiet seem, well lazy.
@Gespenst: Good points, however you are not going to find many people who agree with you here. On one hand its good to give artistic liberty to these developers, its another thing to expect them to grow up.
Until we play we wont understand her character, but as stands the "cosplay and sexy" reasons are juvenile.
Its not being a white knight or beta males, its simply stating an argument or different point of view. I mean is Ellen page's character...
Videogames taking on a serious subject? Yeah, that has a snowball's chance in hell.
Lets kick up the slo-motion shots of Jews dieing and make some scenes black and white with a retro filter.
Then we'll mix in a healthy amount of fake BS melodrama that would make oscar bait look sincere -and we are set.
Go go videogames as a serious Art form go!
LoL is growing at a stupendous rate among casual gamers, however the low skill ceiling and confusing graphics will not convert any non gamers like SC2 has done.
It's an insult to competitive e-sports when a game where (anyone,) can become pro, within a few months of training, vs years of practice for games like SC2, Quake, and Counterstrike.
People want to watch Pro's play e-sports or regular sports because of the incredible talent and practice that...
Mother of god you are right 9.5 Amazing was the score.
Hey we have this truly amazing open world, whats that? Did you want to wait 20 real seconds to enter ANY little fucking hut or house in a village?
Uh oh? Did you bump into a NPC? Forever from this moment all guards from that town will hunt you down till you die!!!! Or go to prison...
Hey fetch me my recipe for goat stew from that nasty mean ole orc in the swamp forest of darkness. Oh is...
You mean...
Extremely forgiving blocking system and.... Counter slash! Ok repeat.

GTA IV
Unprecedented 7 full page review practically blushing at how perfect and amazing the game is. Some minor graphics issues and slight annoyances... 10/10!!
When in reality... Hey did you just drive 300 blocks across 2 bridges and follow a guy and watch a 2 min cutscene and then .... MISSION FAILED! Oh sorry you gotta do that shit all over - lmao deal with it. Oh yeah this is every mission design have fun!
<...
These guys must try Really Fucking Hard to find every flaw if its Sony based.
"Oh shit did you see that??"
"What what?"
"Oh man I think that texture of the window sill just popped in?"
"Well fuck we gotta put..... Give me a sec...." "Mercenary certaintly visually looks ok but there is some texture popin 6/10 Visuals!"
Comparing the them to how theres 5 "new" mario spinoff games out each year? Or the simple fact that they are all platformers??
Yeah sunshine was Such A Good Game like OMG
Why on earth does this article have that moment in CoD 4 on the front page? That scene was amazing when it came out. It was like a new Half Life 1 entrance to the facility except right when you think you are going to be saved or somehow slo motion headbutt the guy and unveal your hidden knife to the guys throat as a hostage and start the level.... instead the bad guy just shoots you in the face. gg. I was like damn.
I would add to the list:
So you fight horde...
Whos brilliant idea was it to make a Co-op mode and not a 4v4, Last Standing etc etc. no one will play this after a 10 hour campaign + maybe 4 hours in co-op. This game is destined to be in the used game box in Gamestop.
What are they going to have, explorable easter eggs lmao, will they even give players control of the camera??. No!!!! You need to look at the AWESOME slo-mo TO THE XTREME! TO THE MAX! For every kill!
When they first announced the game I want...
Great this +

Braid
Limbo
Journey
Rayman legends
Have all been better platformers then any of the marios.
To be more like Mario we would have to have Rayman: Racers! Limbo: Rainbow Gardens! Braid: Lost Clocks in Ocean Wonder! followed by a HD remake, followed by Braid: Co-op Brothers Escape! Shit now were talking.
Great job being constructive! "Oh look another person who cares about a topic worth discussing, better take the time to make a utterly useless comment."
Till we actually see what the article is mentioning we can't and sites shouldnt make big accusations or claims, as is - this is just click bait.
Reading these comments only proves further that sexism in gaming exists, even if you are half joking.
?? One looks at city, one looks at park/forest. This is cool how? At least show us the same view so we can compare.
