Like the progressive games journalists who can not shut up about things like this.

What turned me off the Souls series was that it din't tell you anything (which would get any other game raked over the coals for), controlled like ass, and had no pause button. Does Bloodborne do any of that?

Because it's literally called "adolescent boy [medium]" and boys that age want characters they can relate to and aspire to be. Ask any boy (who isn't a closet transexual and or gay) if he would rather be Goku or Tsunade and they're going to say Goku, end of story. I'm sure this post has over...

So I've tossing this moral/philosophical question around and I figured I'd share it with the Escapist for the purposes of engaging in a Socratic exercise: Transgendered people have brain chemistry that makes them think they are the opposite gender of what they were born as. Now, lets say...

I think they're referring to trans women who still have their male bodily advantages, such as greater hand eye coordination and spacial awareness, but then again, I don't know what the effect differing chemistries of trans and normal brains have on such advantages. It's likely that, since the...

"No one's going to to take away your games." This defense pisses me off every time I hear it. They don't want to take away our games they want to change games to fit their ideology. Which is worse if you ask me. Or and By the way, feminists in Australia actually managed to get GTAV pulled...

I don't care about professional victims, who peddle ideologically driven, intellectually dishonest political bullshit. I care about actual problems. Like how the consoles aren't worth a damn. Like how development costs continue to skyrocket to the point of sustainability. Like how we can't...

When the hypersensitive decided we under obligation to care about their feelings. If you want to leave, go right ahead. No body is stopping you. Hell, I've thought about taking a a few years off from video games, but that was because the people running this fucking industry couldn't find...

To be honest, I've lost the point of this back and forth. Nor do I care anymore. You seem to be under the impression that I was speaking in anything other than the broadest terms when I said that white males were the go to characters for protagonists for a reason. What I meant in general...

First off, this is the Escapist, not Tumblr. Gifs have no place here. ;) Second of all, Bioshock infinite's furor was rather small, but it was there. Third, you just listed a group of character's who were well written and, notice how none of those character's were protagonists. If the...

Another thing to keep in mind is how much of a minefield "diversity" is. Even if you include women and minorities, the people who demanded them in the first place invariably find something wrong with them. Don't include them, and we're back to square one. As for why so many main character's...

Worse actually. Youtube comments, last i checked, couldn't ruin your life. If I had to rate the three worst inventions in the 20th/21st centuries, it would be, in order, the H-bomb, self flushing toilets, and Twitter.

Well I dislike people in general, so.... Probably going to reserve judgement until I see proof of the assertion.

An excellent point. Still, I really, really want to believe that everyone is freaking out over something that's been blown completely out of proportion, because that's usually how these things go. "Harassment" and "sexism" and "disrespect to women" have been overused on the silliest shit, to the...

Unless he was convicted of crime, I see no reason to bar him from a country. This smacks of the usual feminist hysteria that seems to have Western Europe by the bollocks. Second, what is wrong with persuading women to have sex with you?
