Wow - that's so far from my experience of the game. I'm about 150 hours into my first playthrough, and it is a LONG time since I've been so invested in character and story in a game. (Witness the fact that I'm very near the end of the main questline, so I'm filling in all the sidequests I can to draw the experience…

Obviously, step one is to not fear him.

He... Plays it in the show...

I'm sorry, I can't get over it: How have you never watched Spongebob?

Why spotlight terrible artwork?

I think its retarded to expect Straight White Male writers/artists/producers to tailor the games they're making to be about characters they don't fully understand. I don't think the issue is that games aren't diverse enough, if you see making of videos, development teams are largely white dudes, the issue is not a…

Ah, the old argument that the writer is writing what they write because they're just trying to get clicks. Yeah, a succinct, non-histrionic headline and a bunch of reporting mixed in with argument sure are the telltale signs of a writer who doesn't give a damn about what they're saying and is just cravenly farming…

Except that there are massive portions of art, literary, and film criticisms that deal with how different groups (race, gender, etc) are treated in such creative works. Accepting games as art means not plugging your ears every time a game is critiqued for its representation of a certain social group. Freedom does not…

Honestly I'm usually tired of hearing about it but for me it's because of how it is presented. Here Stephen presented the issue in a professional way and not trying to incite page clicks or baiting hate from the comments like other sites and articles usually elicit. Thanks Mr. Totilo for a good read and I hope this…

"That's what I'm reading here."

Aphex Twin is not a "they", it's a he. And you both are wrong.

I meant main story quest

I realize this was not the point of the comic but out of context it was like... this person was stuck in a marketing hell and instead of just... going outside and walking in the woods... the escape was going into a simulation of going outside and walking in the woods in one of the less repellent corners of the…

And he was fired because he didn't understand that very thing. I mean, his stupidity in making that tweet demonstrated that he didn't understand his role with the company. That's why he got fired, not because he said anything borderline outrageous.

Well, I kinda agree with this Olin guy. Kinda. Donald Sterling does have a right to be a bigot in the privacy of his own home. Of course, if anyone were to find out how bigoted he was - say through someone leaking a recording of a conversation he had - that's no longer the privacy of his own home. And of course,…

The man, like so many others in the US, has a really bad understanding of free speech and people's rights. Yes, Donald Sterling absolutely has the right to be an old racist in his home. That's why he's allowed to be one and isn't dragged off to prison. However, that does not make him immune from criticism or…

I'd say he should play Watch_Dogs...but he plays that already with the NSA

Um you forgot a few...

Technically it was announced last E3, so I don't know if it would count as unannounced here. My guess is a new Mass Effect.

Yes. Brand is everything. Tag the battlefield brand to any fps and sales will boost, same goes for cod, nfs, halo etc

Or perhaps, watch the world...fallout.
