funny how when we talk about diversity, things always just seem to lean more towards “i dont wanna watch white people, just black/asian/hispanic/female/trans/gay people” not realizing thats not what diversity is at all. in fact its just another form of discrimination. diversity is a healthy serving of EVERYTHING. i…

“But I want to watch Markiplier!”

Should they develop a one-handed mode? How about a mode conducive to the Xbox Adaptive Controller? A mode for the blind? It doesn’t need to have these things, but if it did it would be good. That said, development resources are finite. Should the team add a month of crunch to make each of these things happen? Should…

“It doesn’t need to have this thing, but if it did then it would be fine.”

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.

Disagree. Sekiro’s world, characters and story are fine but the real experience is the gameplay. The excitement of exchanging blows with enemies almost like a choreographed dance. Making the game easier would just allow players to rush down bosses while disregarding their defense because damage becomes less of a…

Jason, I’ve been a developer on more than one of these types of monolithic ambitious-but-aimless projects that eventually lurches over the finish line (late). You’ve gone through months (or years) of very real suffering to get it to that point, and when it arrives, you’re embarrassed at what’s been put out. It’s…

Games aren’t books or movies, Heather. By design, they’re not going to be playable by everybody. That’s too bad, but that’s the nature of the medium.

More like a person with legs telling a person without legs that they should not take the stairs.

No, I’m saying that if this particular game causes somebody pain, don’t play it. Same reason I wouldn’t recommend Rez to somebody with epilepsy.

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.

I would just say that From Software games aren’t for you, if that’s chief concern. I get that there is people that want to experience them, but not the difficulty. But there is a million games out there that are easy, and hold your hand, and beat you over the head with all the info they have. That’s most of what…

This.  We can create an old persons club where we don’t see each other at all because we’re playing single player games alone, as the universe intended.  Glad to be a part of this movement. 

I refuse to believe that it’s weird or sexist to make note of the very characteristics that led to her having such a difficult time with the male players at the tournament, especially since that difficulty was the central core of my post.

Either bring back Michael Ironside, or stop using Sam Fisher.  It’s that simple.

I don’t mean graphics-wise.

I think I can explain, as this has little to do with the game itself. Speaking broadly, the people who are the biggest fans of Bioware games don’t have a lot of interest in a Destiny-style loot grinder. What they want is a bigger, deeper Mass Effect. In an era where nobody is making that kind of 3p action-RPG that…

It’s ok you and the like mined sheep who shoot people or watch violence that happens endlessly in games movies or tv are making the wolrd better by controlling fiction in games all the bad people that would harm real life children now will fade thanks to your efforts to censor whatever you deem smut

Weird how people balk at consensual incest but two of the most popular games of all time  (GTA5 and RDR2) features scenes where you use torture to interrogate someone, and the second one you pull their pants down and threaten to geld them. So maybe a little perspective, for fuck’s sake.

Unfortunately, these days if you draw anime styled art, you have to give characters a DD sized chest and have them in a bar drinking shots or someone is going to say they aren’t adults.
