I feel the need to interject - saying that a character's a mary sue is criticism, not sexism. And as far as I'm concerned it's never going to be sexism. Please stop coming here in bad faith and poisoning the well by morally condemning people with valid criticisms. Also I guess I should share...

Yeah I played it. I wandered around some landscapes that made absolutely no sense for a while, got bored, never came back to it. I get what it's trying to do but a game needs to give me a reason to get into it before it presents all of its mystery. Yume Nikki is blunt, bizarre, and...

Recovering your humanity at a bonfire, using an item, finding summon signs, using them, and then pressing Accept. That, and you still have to do the fight, and you can still die on the boss if you're careless or if the summons aren't very good. It effectively is NOT a button, not even close...

It's not a button. Summoning requires effort, risk and resources. It's not the best designed feature since your experience can vary so wildly, going as far as making the fight trivial, but it's definitely better than a simple button. I even mentioned it in another post.

The point was there's no satisfaction in skipping, just relief that you won't be needing to do that anymore. You may even feel some guilt. Apply this to challenging boss fights and it becomes really easy to just press the button. One thing I like about the Souls series is how many people come...

But you didn't do that your first time through, right? You didn't magically know that the last 10 minutes were the minutes that offered you maximum enjoyment and could therefore skip to them every single time. So this argument is rendered moot by the presence of game saves. But let's not...

Now I don't think there's something wrong with the game forcefully making you play a certain way or punishing you for being bad. After all, that's what all games do*. They make you play in certain ways, which is why you can't finish Call of Duty by constantly looking downwards, and punish you...

Whoa, are you kidding me? What I remember most from DA:I is Leliana talking about shoes. SHOES. We're in a fantasy universe fighting dragons and you would like to go buy some FUCKING SHOES. I got SO bored of her back then that I got bored of Orlais by proxy. Now Tevinter - these are the...

Fifteen bucks is... ugh. Fine. As crazy as it sounds, I might get into the multiplayer with this one. I've played quite a bit of Starcraft 2, and it just wasn't nostalgic enough. Of course everyone's gonna kick my ass but that always happens in matchmaking systems unless you're top tier.

Because apparently I forgot more than I thought I did. You're right, it was Tevinter. I remember now why I was interested, as well. Tevinter sounds like a way more interesting place than any of these other medieval fantasy kingdoms.

Makes sense. Inquisition's DLC pretty much confirmed a sequel anyway. It's gonna take place in Nevarra unless I'm mistaken. Aka Notspain.

Lol, "bad game design". More like "game design I don't agree with and since this is popular I'm hella concerned now". Calm thyself. None of these issues are particularly new nor are they particularly worrisome. 1. Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament were in the same situation. Games don't need...

Okay, I got what I wanted. Since you've shown consistency in your views, I can respect them even if I disagree. Thanks for not arguing in bad faith. I'll let this go since there's not much more that can be said beyond subjective explanations and contradictory opinions.

We are in no such thing, the movement is about nothing like that, and any vitriol was due to shitty, hamfisted writing, something that the existence of OTHER trans characters written BETTER in other games clearly proves. There is a lot of nuance you're ignoring in order to change the context...

So let me get this straight. He: - doesn't like feminism and wants to make a game wherein its bad aspects are highlighted - wants to create a world where progressivism has gone wrong - condemns behavior he finds distasteful - wants to put a character you don't like in a videogame...
