No Billy Herrington? I'm out.
Tzion: Kojima-san doesn't have to make Metal Gear any more.

Watch it subtitled in Japanese if you're a fan of Nana Mizuki.
"I call it... RUNNING."
"a world where George Washington became a malevolent despot known as America's first president."
Metal Gear is Kojima's white whale. It tortures him, but he cannot cease in his endless pursuit of it.
There are very few games that do not insult my ideologies. I'm a Christian pacifist, and yet Assassin's Creed is one of my favorite game series (although, to be fair, it does play along with my anarchist sentiments). Even relatively innocent games like Spyro and Kingdom Hearts glorify a level of violence that most…
You're pretty bad at both logic and history.
Wait, you have to control bikes? No wonder I've had such a bad experience with them.
That's actually pretty funny.
That's like the opposite of regular orphans.
As if my Wii weren't small enough already.
Torture is illegal, and so are films that are a product of it. But not all depictions of torture are products of torture. In the same way, not all depictions of child abuse are products of child abuse. Illegal acts can be represented either by willing adult actors or through some artificial medium like CG or…

Black Ops also has torture, though in a more realistic context. I don't think it's any worse to show than murder, personally.
No steel toe. 2/10 would not fight crime with.
Being virus is suffering....
"What's that? Developers have decided to pool resources into improving OpenGL as a proper competitor to Direct X?! Whatever could Microsoft have done to provoke this?"
Reminds me of those interactive books for children, where you slide a page into the interpreter and then press the words and pictures with a stylus for various sounds and explanations.
It sounded like you were disappointed in AC because it is a poor "stealth" game, not because it was bad on its own merits. I wasn't arguing that it was realistic so much as that it never promised to be a true stealth game, and that perhaps your genre expectations (based on modern connotations of "assassin", hence the…
From what I gather, the real-life Assassins were more like the Altair than they were were Snake or other hardcore stealth characters.
