Keep in mind it's not like it's bad because it's an mmo. The problem is that it goes with the same old kill ten bears do we have buffs up okay let's wipe ten more times oh sweet purples mechanics. These things make MMOs that will sell, but they aren't mandatory. Granted it's pretty difficult to...

It's much easier to make killing unserious or even slapstick than it is a form of torture.

Booth babes are a person reduced to an ornament used to attract male attention. Attractive main characters might be the same, or they might be a well written character that happens to be attractive in order to up the escapism. I'd argue that the Witcher 2 leans towards the latter, while the...

Don't let the Bioware Social crazies taint your view of those of us who didn't like the ending. Some of us are sane :D Honestly, the fact the starchild is staying does not make me hopeful. It seems like they've made an honest attempt to deal with some of the issues but there's still the core...

It can be used well and it can be used badly. Considering that video game storytelling has yet to enter its prime, I'm inclined to think that it's more likely to be done badly. The majority of rape in fiction is a cheap shock tactic, to make the villain evil or the victim angry. You see...

I think the idea was that synthetics would wipe out -all- organic life, as in down to the last cell, and create a sterile waste. Which is still a terrible motivation for the Reapers, as if we're meant to be super emotionally attached not even to the characters, the universe, or the...

Sexualisation isn't bad in itself. Stuff like TERA I take issue with because it jerks me straight out of any kind of believably, but whatever, let them do it. It's not like they're putting ten year olds in panties or an When was the last time you played a character who was fat, or weak, in a...

Honestly, telling a good story isn't about upping the stakes. Just look at Doctor Who, where at the last count we saved all of the timeline of all of the times in all of the universes in the dimensions of existence. Or something. Even ME1, for example - it's not like it was incredibly boring...

True, though I don't know; it doesn't feel the same. But by that point I'm just whining. Though that is the unintentional slap in the stargazer scene. They look up, telling stories of Shepard and wondering what's out there. What it really comes down to is that they don't even know, when there...

At least to me, ME is a doomed franchise as long as the ending stays. Though 95% of ME3 was awesome, there are still the legions of fans, me included, who can't bring themselves to play back through any of the games because that damn ending retroactively poisoned each one.

I know exactly the feeling the article is talking about. That said, I don't think it's really a bad thing, just neutral. There's nothing that makes it inherently worse in any way other than gut reaction against the new and strange. We've all seen columnists complain about 'modern kids, always...

I kind of envy people like her. They get to live in wealth and comfort in return for absolutely no work other than vomiting complete crap into a newspaper column every now and again, or writing self help books on their marriages as if they had even the slightest importance.

His boss confronted him and he continued his pedantry? Sounds to me like he was trying to see how far he could push it and it blew up in his face.

This sounds like the kind of game I'd love... ...except I have no knowledge of programming and absolutely no interest in it. I don't mind him aiming at those who do, but that is going to be a very niche audience. And even if they take steps to make it more openly accessible, I'm not sure I'd...
