You specifically stated that feminism doesn't apply to video games in this case in the context of a 'gaming environment'. This is an important distinction here as you don't specifically say 'feminism doesn't apply to this game'. In fact, your wording of 'gaming environment' includes *ALL GAMES*. There was no…

Yes I did, you didn't read my comment.

Feminism does apply to video games. No aspect of culture exists in a vaccuum, women's rights and opportunities are affected by depictions such as this that commodify women as sex objects. Also, by your definition, "Birth of a Nation" doesn't hurt equal rights for minorites because no one has to watch it.

I think everyone who watched that trailer got that they weren't actually nuns. They obviously weren't dressed as nuns to 'blend in'-or did you miss the rpg, automatic weapons, and disrobing in the middle of a parking lot and having a firefight part? They were the exact opposite of stealthy, competent or 'wily'. Their…

One should never have to 'get used to' sexism. Complaining about the trailer also serves its purpose of lettign the devs know that this is not something that many fans want to see in the next game-perhaps they will remove aspects of it or tone it down in some way. At the very least they will be less likely to do this…

In what way are prostitutes empowered? In what way could they concievably be considered 'strong' if they fail in their mission and are all dead by the end of the trailer? I don't think you understand what 'empowered' means.

Yeah, seems to be a lot of folks grasping at straws to defend this trailer (when they aren't grasping at feminist strawmen, that is). It's surprising that so many people can't seem to grasp the basics of feminism.

Nuns in latex fetish suits are a male sexual fantasy. Buff, gruff-voiced etc men are a male power fantasy first and foremost. Arguing that the existance of these male stereotypes is a 'double standard' of sexist is completely missing the dynamics at play here. Characters like the gears of war cast, or kratos are…

Muskets are actually quite accurate against formations. I would again look up some youtube videos of this to get a basic feel of how it worked, but suffice to say, there is a reason that guns eclipsed crossbows and longbows in Europe-musket innaccuracy and short-range is a myth. There were various fire drills to get…

Sony has plenty of good characters. Their problem is that they tend to drop defining series like hot potatoes from one console gen to the next. Daniel Fortesque, Croc, Crash Bandicoot, Summoner, Breath of Fire etc. They have lots of good characters and games, but they never franchise them to the same extent that…

You don't seem to find it ironic that you are accusing other people of being overly-sensitive, whiny children, whom no-one is listening to, and then over-reacting, rolling out the cusswords, writing a multi-paragraph rant, and obsessively replying to every reply like the author murdered your baby? I think you should…

Well said. It's amazing how many people on this site can't seem to grasp this simple concept.

Well, I woud argue that there is a definate purpose for it-they were trying to sell the game based on the laziest, most insulting manner possible, through hypersexulization and violence. *That* was the purpose of the traielr. Not to show off new features, or explain any plot developments between games, just trying to…

It was tacky and objectifying. It was a blatently trying to sell to the lowest common denominator with sex+guns. it's insulting to men to wave a fetish nun in front of them and expect them to go drooling over it immediately like some kind of pavlovian response, and degrading to women for reasons that should be…

47 has killed women before, and anyone who has played the game would know as much. That's not the problem. No one is saying that this is offensive. It's the comically out of place sexual objectification of the nuns that people are complaining about it.

Nice to know I am not the only one who watched that show/

'Half-British' is splitting hairs. If you want to argue that way, the colonists were British as well-since they were British Subjects. The 'You fight people on both sides' thing would be nice, and they have claimed as such, but the problem is that they haven't shown any of this so far-just Connor slaughtering scores…

I know a lot of people don't like 4th edition (neither do I), but honestly the thing that puts me off future D&D games the most is what 4th edition did to the Forgotten Realms. Lets be honest here, most of the D&D games that have come out have been set in the Forgotten Realms setting. 4th edition changed the setting…

Never played Morrowind?

Don't worry, I'm sure Connor will get to kill lots of Loyalists too. Those count as colonists, right?
