I’d be careful saying they definitely are *entirely* constructs—there’s some wiggle room for interpretation. That implication is absolutely a valid read but I think it’s also fair to question the notion that Alan didn’t write the entirety of the FBC and the Oldest House and every one of its members into existence from…

I don’t think he was ‘making demands’. He said ‘This is how I do my voice. If this is good for you, then cool.’ Blame the producers, if anyone. Seth was just upfront about how is performance would be and they still hired him despite that warning.

You just want to see a monster call her a “Bojo”, don’t you?

If a game or developer does not align with your politics and you feel strongly about it, then don’t buy the game. By all means, take a stand. Sign an online petition stating that you’re not buying the game because it fails to give equal representation to women. If you want to enact real change and enough people feel…

People seems to just gloss over that they were laughing in his face while he was putting himself out there emotionally with that letter that seemed to make everyone cry later.

Yeah I respectfully disagree with this completely. I found Hopper’s behavior to be a new father who would have struggled with a teenage daughter (as many do IRL) in even the best of circumstances, and their circumstances are hardly ideal.

Bless your heart.

Weird a level headed comment on these stories. You are brave sir. 

There’s nothing in it for him to apologize. He’d have to break character, and that character made him rich. It’s not like anyone who is outraged by this is going to subscribe if he says he regrets what he did.

It makes no sense to get upset over imagery in a work of fiction until you know in what context the imagery is being used. Also, a depiction of a fictionalized world is likely to contain portrayals of real bigotry, especially one set in this universe, so it’s not appropriate to assume that just because bigotry is…

I’m interested to see if anyone has good counterpoints to this. I’m all for inclusiveness, but sports are designed around physical things—especially MMA—and there’s a reason why men and women are separated into different leagues for most of them. I’ve yet to hear an argument against it beyond, “they’re women, so they…

Never been a fan of Rousey. Don’t like pugilism and she is a crime against acting.Having said that, as much as hate to agree with her, she is right about the transgender fighter.

nah, I took the weight gain as the fact he was sitting around the house all day literally not going ANYWHERE and drinking all the time. So many people play video games these days, I didn’t see this as any kind of direct joke on gamers at all. I mean, “gamer” is a meaningless label anyway. 

I’m pretty sure the fatness was a byproduct of his crippling alcoholism

Thank goodness that even though the future in TD2 is bleak, that there is a ray of politically correct sunshine.

I don’t disagree that accessibility is a great thing to have in games. I just don’t believe that developers should be lampooned for creating a specific, crafted, difficult experience, if they’re not interested in capturing a wide audience. Not every game has to appeal to everyone.

I will never understand why anyone would want something like the Souls titles or Sekiro to have an easy mode. What would be the point of that? Sure, they have lore and story to experience, but those things are vague and confusing, and absolutely take a backseat to the gameplay. The difficulty and skill required…

This kinda sounds like the whole participation trophey arguement.

There are so many games out there, Joshua. This one just isn’t for you, and that’s okay. It doesn’t need to bend over backwards with an easy mode.

Just all boycott the game already to show them we DON’T want a multiplayer online Fallout, especially one that is clobbered together using this 6 years old engine
