The reality is that there simply aren’t any women in the games industry whose names carry the same recognition as the men’s. There’s no female equivalent to Hideo Kojima or Warren Spector or Cliffy B or John Carmack or Phil Spencer or Todd Howard or Peter Molyneux or Sid Meier or Tim Sweeney or Will Wright or Gabe…

I think it’s funny how nowadays it’s all swept under the rug that GamerGate members were overall pretty left-leaning for at least the first six months of its existence, and still left-centrist for a while after that as alt-right trolls flocked to it (ironically, to defend it from Kotaku’s “gamers are dead” hit piece)…

Identity politics: the clamoring of affluent, upper-middle class types for greater access to board rooms, positions, privileges, etc., on the basis of gender, race, ethnicity, etc. That is what the author’s reference to “representation” means in this context.

Ugh please not another game like BOTW/TOTK. Open world is fine, but actually put a narrative in the game please. One where you don’t have to go hunting down puzzles to get major lore drops. Just tell a story though out the game and let the player wander. You know, like a lot of games do. Like oh say Spider-Man just…

i mean yea we like open world zelda games.  But here it is months after release and no one is talking about it.  people are not replaying it.  it has so much to do and yet it has less life than the 1st game.

Oh boy! Been a long time since I had a good old fashion Warcraft Lore Argument!

“Listen you little shits! We spent a LOT of money on that acquisition so you better buy those fucking Call of Duty games and all of their special editions and DLC and battle passes and cosmetic skins and loot boxes or else!”

“My only conclusion to all this is that Kojima has somehow brainwashed people into believing he’s some brilliant auteur when really he’s a very mediocre man with extremely mediocre ideas trying his damndest to make movies and being forced to make video games instead.”

Yes, obviously that’s the most plausible scenario…

Except, that that’s not what OP was saying. They said they were generally interested in checking out the MGSV, until they read about Quiet and completely wrote off Kojima’s entire catalog(based on other things read/heard). Which fine, that is their right to do. But at the same time, without experiencing first-hand,…

Gamers are such babies man.

You certainly managed to draw a lot of conclusions about games that are 100+ hours long without actually playing them, based entirely on very small amounts of information. Clearly, we have found our new authority on the subject.

Well, personally speaking I’m more inclined to dislike someone who’s clearly exploiting people who have deepseated mental health problems than to dislike the people with those problems, so that’s probably part of it!

29-year-old Kaitlyn Siragusa is a businesswoman.

He misunderstood Fight Club completely. It doesn’t glorify toxic masculinity, it decries it and considers it a side effect of late stage capitalism. And yes, that’s an oversimplification.

I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

10 bucks say this is their attempt at preventing 3rd party disc drives being made and sold.

You partially have to hope you get lucky and managed to think like the creator.

Unless Bethesda is employing monkeys to write code, the game isn’t keeping track of non-rendered physics objects in memory. Their positions would be stored elsewhere, and be loaded when the player position or camera frustum was close enough to trigger rendering.

Any game can be optimized if it’s a priority; that’s not…

The raw speed is obviously very impressive, but the slickness of that transition is the real wow factor here, IMO. Open map, select fast travel, fade out/in in the exact same timeframe would be significantly less impressive than this map level geometry blending wizardry.

I think Switch 2 is fine.  It has worked for the PlayStation and is what MS should have been doing all along.   The “2” makes it clear that this is the successor unlike “U” which was just ambiguous.
