I dunno, man. I fucking hate most fighter games, but I can enjoy and even occasionally win at Brawl, even with Link. That makes him a genius to me.

It's basically like an old school ask column in a newspaper, only it's in video format and we're all gamers. Those ask columns weren't professionals either.

Don't worry, it's either green-screened or a combination of lots of books from all around Gawker HQ. Tina doesn't strike me as the type to read that book.

To be perfectly fair, I almost always read Kotaku while watching tv with my family. It's kind of hard to listen during then.

Excellent point. And, since having it set 20 years after isn't really a selling point, it seems like something that shouldn't be spoiled.

That's not really porn though, is it? Not hardcore, anyways. Internet access isn't as common in Japan as you'd think, so seeing a live human body nekkid is pretty rare.

I'll give you that. I'll also give you that Ellie's presence spoils her death. But I wouldn't have bought the game without knowing about Ellie, so the PR guys are damned if they do and damned if they don't.

If he's talking about Sarah, I think he missed that we were talking about including Ellie in the promotional art.

Okay, look. The whole "gender is a social construct" thing is obvious. So why does that justify mutilating one's genitals and undergoing hormone therapy? Just crossdress and accept that you're gay/bisexual. If gender and sex are separate, switching genders should not require changing sexes.

I have yet to meet a trans person who was legitimately intersexed. And I've met someone with the XXY mutation.

I like yours better too.

I hate shit like this. I'm a very masculine person, but I'm still a woman and proud of it. My genetic structure determined that. Why is it that you people can't be satisfied with being a feminine dude or a masculine woman? I get the feeling that this whole gender fluid shit has arisen simply because crossdressing…

Well, one of the pics up there states that most ladies only masturbate once a month. As one of those ladies, I can say it's just because I don't feel like orgasming more often than that. Some people are just that way.

I like what you tried to do here, but you're ignoring the basic facts of DNA and brain chemistry.

Something that I think a lot of people don't get is that people in Japan don't really have access to porn.

And this, kids, is why xenophobia is bad.

Spoiler alert: she doesn't die. So you're wrong about the "obvious" spoiler of 20 years later.

But EVERYTHING in the marketing for this game has been about Ellie. It's a massive late-arrival spoiler and arguably the major selling point of the game.

I think what a lot of people don't understand is that some of us just don't care. I have no issue playing as Link and saving Zelda. I'm actually having a similar argument about little kid costumes and skin color on io9 right now. Remember that pic of the little black girl dressed as the Hulk? I don't think she'd care…

Throwing my hat into the ring of people who want FFXV on PC. I really don't want to have to watch my friend play it again.
