So... if people feel like Greg having liked Dragon Age 2 is an indicator that his opinion on this game is likely to be based on different criteria then them (he loved an RPG they hated), why not... read another review by someone who didn't like Dragon Age 2..? I understand that a lot of...

I've been getting into Rogue-likes (and Rogue-like-likes if you wish) for the past few years. There's something I find extremely compelling about games that are both shorter-form and very intense. I appreciate that they just won't let you save-scum; every decision counts, no take-backs. Most of...

I haven't followed the whole Anita mess too closely, but I've watched some of her videos, so... what exactly are you referring to when you say she "lined her decent points with incendiary subtext"? Or "that smug goddamn face"? It concerns me that her face is making you angry. For the record...

Indeed, if you felt that Civ V was enjoyable but a bit lacking, there's a good chance you'll really enjoy Gods and Kings. The game just feels like it works better now, with the changes in combat, tech tree, diplomacy (to an extent) and overal balance being the main reason for that. I haven't...

Because it's pretty obvious that the way things work now,people still continually exposed to harrassment. You still get a bunch of disgusting, oppressive language thrown at you before you know to mute someone. In fact, the way the community is right now (what with the fact that this frequently...

I, too, have had similar experiences as the author and others in this topic. I grew up in Montreal. However, I had the odd (and seemingly rare) luck of learning both French and English separately and at a very young age (I'm francophone, but my baby-sitter until I went to Kindergarten was...

Part of the problem with this debate, and it's been said before, is that people fail to realise that the physical or digital means of distribution of a game are not the one and same thing as the game itself. You are paying to play the game. The disc (or downloaded files etc.) are the means...

Unskippable cutscenes aren't really like the other three options in the poll; they're usually a result of a slight (at least) lack of planning from the developers, and are really only a problem in specific cases (the aformentioned "long cutscene before a boss fight" example, or when a game has...

Indeed. This needs to be said. Again and again.

Okay, I can see that actually, I wasn't really clear at all (or maybe I was? I'm kinda tired right now). Basically, a woman choosing not to move in with 3 guys isn't the same as a (straight) guy choosing not to move in with 3 non-straight guys (based only on those criteria). There's an element...

Though it's a bit late considering this thread, I guess a trigger warning is still worth it? Part of the problem is that many, many people simply don't know much about rape and go along with whatever media representation of it they were exposed to. This has been said in this topic, but...

I have to wonder: How would people react if the OP was a black person who had told the potential (presumably white, in this hypothetical example) roomate that there were, say, two black and one hispanic roommate living there, and that this roommate would have answered that they "aren't...

Everytime I see people complaining about how Harry Potter characters die in the last book, I facepalm. The wizarding world is in a state of war. There's an actual battle in the book. People die everywhere. People you care for. From a stray bullet(spell) even. Off "screen". There's no...

Okay, this deserves a response because it brings new information about the previous post and because it's clearly not written by an idiot. To summarize my position, my post had nothing to do with the fact that you don't like casual sex. In fact, the words "I think sex should be special. Not...

Yeah, I also hate gender roles. Hearing people say things like "*gender* is so immature/shallow/petty/etc. or "Oh, that's to be expected because this person is male/female/homosexual/transgendered" makes my skin crawl (though that last one you don't hear so much in spite of the extreme amount of...
