“sexual misconduct” is the word bloggers and women use when they know nothing major or illegal has been done to them, but they feel bad about it, so it must be “wrong.”

This is why “sexual misconduct” as a catch-all phrase is essentially meaningless. I’d dare anyone to succinctly describe James Franco’s “behavior” in a way that makes the case for why his career should end.

The world is filled with people who aren’t like them?  Well, what the fuck is stopping that WORLD FULL OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE from making their own shit? 

Now do non-European-white culture and why it’s bad too.

Woke: Devs, don’t make games about minority identities you can’t personally speak to, as that is appropriation and you’ll likely screw it up.

If it lets games run at 1080p with better frame rates that’s perfectly fine for me.

Idonn’tneedit, Idonn’tneedit,Idonn’tneedit, oh who the fuck am I kidding?

so i can sit on my comfortable couch and play on a 55" OLED screen?

Better have a false report, than dead people. Especially considering how the l'est few years had a pretty heavy death toll so extremist

But the main campaign is like....40 hours, and even then there’s a bunch of cruft (the entire Caribbean adventure, bank robbery #5, farm life simulator, etc). And if you want to 100% the game (which is publishers get the”100+ hours of content!” bullshit) it’s a ton of repetitive crap. Go hunt 100 animals. Go fish 100…

The problem for me is less the length and more the repetition. if the game were 100 hours of discovery, where you find new regions, engage in unique experiences, find new activities, and just feel a sense of discovery, thats one thing. However, it’s not that.

The problem  with modern AC games is its like a 20 course…

I feel like this has been an issue for a LOT of games - Ubisoft games specifically, but also gaming in general, everything from Horizon Zero Dawn to latter-day BioWare - and I generally pin the blame on Skyrim, if inadvertently. Lot a lot of things in gaming, it felt like other developers looked at Skyrim, said ‘oh,…

Only white folks visit museums?

That silliness aside, the Tomb Raider games I’ve played always involved some ancient or supernatural threat to humanity and were more about investigating and stopping that threat than stealing artifacts.

These ridiculous takes I see on this site are absolutely how Trump rose to power.

“...rehabilitate tomb raider Indiana Jones into something less culturally abhorrent.”

That’s not correct. The Xbox was, for all intents and purposes, just a living room PC - it was designed with relatively off-the-shelf hardware, which made porting PC games a breeze and explains the huge overlap between the contemporary Xbox and PC release libraries. The Gamecube, on the other hand, was more…

“It’s not a politically progressive game: these identities are all in service of the game’s vision of the cyberpunk future, one that can feel implausible and alienating but also has hints of the world we live in today.”

The “mixed feelings” in the title come off more as overwhelmed ambivalence and fatigue in the article, than like you truly have had a mixed experience with good and bad game elements. Again and again and again you bring up things that seem subjectively good, and then qualify that by saying they left you cold,…

Are you even old enough to know what happened in the 80s when Reagan was President? I lived them, it wasn’t so bad, however it wasn’t great either, but it was better than the Jimmy Carter days. Also as much as I dislike Activision/Blizzard I do not believe they went political about the game, unlike you in this…

“Naido being reduced to a placeholder for Diane is another example of Lynch’s clumsy sidelining of non-white characters. In this case, she’s not even a character, but a symbol of a character.”
