I think there should be characters and relationships with different gender identities and sexuality, but I’m also happy with the game designers determining how those should play out in the story.  Thank God a vast majority of people playing these games do not consider their character’s “sexuality” to be one of the…

I don’t know i’m too old for this shit. I just wanna puke when i see kissing males. Sorry.

So if he where straight there would be no article?

It’s crazy to me that anybody would have a deeper reaction than rolling their eyes and ignoring it when coming upon one of these messages. Human nature is and probably always has been, to some degree, finding humor in bawdy and immature things. The writer asserts that graffiti of penises has some darker, misogynist…

Agree 100%. People are literally looking for things to offend them at this point. It’s much less insidious than this article makes it out to be. Who sees the messages in soulsborne and thinks about it for more than .01 seconds?

Up next, “People are spelling ASS and TIT on high score boards in arcade games! OUTRAGE.”

It’s really a shame that amazing stuff like Jason’s article on those who worked on FFXIV at launch is posted next to dumb dribble like this.

They are being paid to be offended. It is manufactured outrage. Sane people don’t give a shit about this.

It’s comedic. Get over it.

This shit getting so old they already made a statue of it.

Yet another “why is this even an article on Kotaku?” moment.

I don’t post notes like this in Soulsborne games, nor do I find them funny... however, getting tilted enough to make a 2 page dissertation on the matter is fucking ludicrous. Go outside. Lighten up. Do literally anything else with your life.

I think they’re funny. Amazing Chest Ahead I think was sort of the classic one after defeating O&S.

Who gives a shit? This is like saying “Blocks are great except kids spell BOOBS”. 

This is an issue that I, as an imperfect feminist, struggle with.
I’m not going to defend Cage’s games because I don’t particularly care for his storytelling. But in more of a general sense, is it wrong to imperil female characters disproportionately when that unbalance exists in life?

Oh look another internet article where somebody criticizes some one else’s creative work , then goes on and tell them how “they should have made it”.. meanwhile creating nothing for themselves thus never having to worry about being in the arena themselves.

Detroit is amazing in every aspect in my opinion. Character development and storytelling. It even made me choke up a few times back there.

I never saw, felt, or thought of Kara any less or different because of the situation she was in. All of them were in very crappy situations and they had to deal with it in their own…

Yes, but they are not women, so it’s not relevant.

Does this happen to the male protagonists at all? Ethan went through a lot in Heavy Rain too as I recall, and the entire game is one long Rescue Kara mission isn’t it?

I was once a professional athlete, pretty much still have that body, and all my hair. I’m no model, but, well, actually, when I was in grad school at NYU, I was asked to do some modeling. This is just to say that it doesn’t appear that I’m hideously ugly or anything.

Its not that important.
