Yeah, that’s kinda what I’m seeing here. By only looking sat the top 49 channels, you’re kinda limiting the variety of data. Massively huge channels just might be more likely to shrink than grow.

Also, you don’t want to reach out to Konami. If they reach out back and touch you, the stink might never come off.

They’re still in business but no longer give a shit about video games.

Baseball is the only sport that actually looks like America.

I played through almost entirely on stealth. That’s how I beat Crushing mode in the previous games, and it stuck with me for Uncharted 4. There are some situations where you’re thrown into a gun fight, but you don’t have to fire a gun in any of the areas where you’re given the option to go in stealth mode. It takes…

Apart from the auction and clock tower escapes, the jungelevator, and like two other chapters towards the end you can skip killing everyone else. There are trophies for doing the Scottish graveyard without killing or being seen, doing chapters 13-14 w/out being seen, and getting Elena’s jeep back from Shoreline w/out…

1999 was your childhood? I feel old as hell now.. my gamer childhood was all about the NES.

You don’t give a toss and I admire you for that.

This is an excellent response to a bad troll job.

Personally, I just imagine Nathan driving a crap jeep through a jungle road and yelling along to John Mayer’s “Daughters” on cassette. Can't have that image with a son.

Those would be pretty interesting games!

Yeah, this seems the important point. Why should we accept white male as the default assumption. If those qualities are germane, somehow, to the plot, then so be it. But to not consider diversifying characters, and to get in the habit of diversifying them, keeps us stuck in the same characters all the time.

Oh, don’t be that guy. (You know: the guy who tries to flip things around on critics who are making valid points about race and gender that he disagrees with, so the guy thinks it’s effective to use the language of the politically correct to try to disenfranchise the critic, but in reality it makes little to no sense…

Agreed. I grew up having no relationship with my father that is worth repeating or retelling. Therefore I could not possibly relate positively to a father/son dynamic in the style of Leave it to Beaver. Having it be a daughter, however, can give me hope for a future relationship with any daughter I might have who…

Then maybe enjoy one of ~32,005,521,702 media works that have already explored that particular relationship in great depth.

It never ceases to amaze me how upset some people get about female characters. Like I cannot for the life of me imagine how you can operate in life when you can play the epilogue and come away pissed that their child was a girl. As far as I am concerned the child’s gender has zero impact on the real impact of just the…

As long as they keep playing Crash Im good with all of it.

Different stories will resonate with different people, of course, but to me the idea of Nathan and Elena having a precocious daughter who wants to be just like her dad is way more interesting than any sort of father/son relationship they could have done.

It really bums me out that people get so upset by women being represented. As if women being capable of great skill or importance is somehow a surprise, and not simple reality. It bums me out because it is an opinion people use to try and cause actual harm to others, but also because it is a shame that capable women…
