I wouldn't call it racist. The difference between races is primarily how they look, and not liking how someone looks is seen as a valid reason not to date them. Is is shallow though? Hell yes.

I like playing male. Unless gender becomes something other than aesthetic I doubt I'll play a female. If the game changed depending on your gender (for example, a sexist medievil setting were playing as a female character requires more stealth since society frowns upon you fighting) then I...

I'll be honest my only issue with playing the villain is the premise of the game. GTA is seen heavily as a sandbox, a "do as you wish" style of game. In that respect it seems silly that it forces you to play as villainous characters. Skyrim was also a sandbox but never forced you to do...

I find it hard to hate a game just for it's ending, if only because I feel far too many games have wasted plots or endings to begin with (so hating endings would leave me with few games I like). Having said that, I find it's easier to hate a game with a bad ending like Mass Effect 3 if it's...

I'm not a pretentious, arrogant hipster, so why would an option for easier play put me off? I wouldn't use it myself, but I can see my friends or GF using it. It would give me a chance to share something I like with people I like, and as long as I don't use the option myself my own personal...

Well in Britian I've seen police turn down cam footage of criminals wearing hoods, pretty much ruining the point of cams like that in the first place. They only catch criminals without hoods...you know, idiots, the kind of people who would probably be caught quickly anyway.

Can the PC crowd just shut up and take what they asked for? Just this once? You whined and complained that you couldn't play the game on console (for some reason still beyond me, somehow just using a console wasn't an option?) You whined more when they decided to use games for windows live. And...

Yay Jim, way to miss the point. People hate these "spin-offs" that look nothing like the originals for a good reason. It's just simple exploitation. If a game is called something like Devil May Cry it's only natural to expect it might actually have something to do with the other Devil May...

I'd take it on any console that isn't a handheld or Wii. It amazes me that Capcom thought the wii was the best medium for MH3.

No...no they won't. Mine is only 4 years old and despite updating a lot of stuff it won't run most games. The updates needed to make it run more games would cost me thousands of pounds (not dollars, so when I say thousands I'm talking a fair bit more than $1000). Telling me that a 7 year old one...

Thanks Jim, it's not like the pretentious PC crowd need something else to make them think that they are somehow better people due to their choice in gaming medium. Also I think you're overlooking one big thing - value for money. I bought the Xbox 360 when it came out and when I buy an Xbox360...

How many of these are alt accounts or smurf accounts? Probably a lot. One thing that infuriated me enough to leave was almost constantly fighting someone in ranked who I shouldn't because they decided to make a smurf account. Not to mention the number of people who openly admit to getting ban's...

Meh, not sure if it's a good deal. Getting access to a lot of games is only good if you plan on playing a lot of the games. I generally spend less than £15 a month on gaming so for me this would be a big loss.

Alundra has a scene with a certain character who you think is...untouchable due to mechanical reasons. You get new items when others die via this character, so you don't expect the writers to pull something like that on you. Also, may sound silly, but Dynasty Warriors 7. The end of the Wei...

I judge games before they're released. I'm not rich so I have to think before I buy and I'm certinaly not going to throw money if I don't think I'm getting good value. People judge, it's in their nature. It's the whole reason advertising exists - otherwise people would just slap the name of...
