Sites are usually female, cars are usually male - because English doesn't have a neuter gender, items get given a gender by their owner. Most consoles/PCs would be female, shoes would be male...that sort of thing.Swaki said:why are both sites girls? i can see the escapist being a girl, but war cry? its the manliest name ever, with a name like that im sure it was born with a beard and chest hair, its logo is even a trojan warrior, or maybe amazon, is that a boob shadow? being gay ill admit im not great at spotting boobs, but it sure seems rather manly.
huh, personally i would never assign genders to inanimate objects, which may be why i had such a hard time learning german and french, those guys insist that my shoehorn has genitals.The_root_of_all_evil said:Sites are usually female, cars are usually male - because English doesn't have a neuter gender, items get given a gender by their owner.

A good console MMO? or a good super hero MMO?The_root_of_all_evil said:Really hoping this can be what Champions wasn't.
For the love of Batman, don't let me down.
Just a good MMO in general. City of Heroes still beats it, pseudopods down.RatRace123 said:A good console MMO? or a good super hero MMO?The_root_of_all_evil said:Really hoping this can be what Champions wasn't.

Regardless, when this launches, I'm definitely picking it up.

Traditionally, ships, countries and oceans are the only nouns the English language assigns a gender to - and they are all female. Anything else given a feminine pronoun is simply a figure of speech, and male pronouns are almost never used.

DCUO... While i am glad they were smart enough not to just launch anyway (one would hope SOE had enough of a clue about MMOs by now)I'm still not convinced that it will still be any good. The article makes little mention of the content, if it is more of the same "kill 10 super rats" that is in most MMOs then I really don't see the point beyond the DC setting which while cool and all... I already play CoH.
Watch all 3 parts [http://www.gametrailers.com/video/nycc-10-dc-universe/705903] and judge for yourself. I don't believe the description here is adequate.Kiytan said:Disappointed to hear that the character creator is not as good as CoHs, as while its tough competition, its something a good superhero MMO definitely needs.
I really want this game to be better than CoH, as CoH is a great game, but the inclusion of DC characters could make it all the better.
on an off note, why the hell is green arrow still in a crappy robin hood outfit, surely now would be a great time to update his look,something a bit more modern (perhaps more in line with the smallville green arrow)
