LOL dude calm down with saying the same retarded shit in every thread here. Must be a fanboy of another console wanting Nintendo to fail

Yeah.. no. Was already avoiding this until they added female models but if its going to be randomly generated, I have no interest at all. Maybe if this changes before they add women it will be different. That is, if they ever add us at all.

"But let's face it, if we could change it, we would all be white, tall, muscular, caucasian males"

Why are video games becoming the platform for Women's Studies Doctorates?

I agree with every word of this post.

Remember when gaming writers were defending Mass Effect 3's ending and saying that games have artistic integrity and shouldn't be changed by popular demand?

I'd be more interested in Nintendo making a new IP with a female character that can stand on her own and compete without borrowing from an old franchise that has seen better days... (On consoles at least)

Why should Nintendo make Link female when they have a perfectly good female character who could be playable already?

If a strip club opens on your block, and a bunch of gross, drunk strip-club patrons start harassing women on the street, you blame those dudes, but you also blame the strip club for attracting that element into the neighborhood. There's a reason why many cities restrict zoning to make it difficult for strip clubs to…

Man this argument is so lame.

Remember back in the day when playing video games was just fun? You know, before every 5 minutes everything had to come crashing to a halt because of something from twitch, twitter, tumblr, or reddit? Even if you avoid those platforms you still have to see article after article about the same nonsense everywhere else…

Honestly though, I'm confused. What should I believe to not be a misogynist? Should women show cleavage and be objectified by men? Or should they show cleavage because they are free to do whatever they want with their bodies? It is misogyny when a woman uses her body in a sexual manner to attract viewers? Is it bad…

Most likely they were extraneous, didn't push the story in the right direction or just didn't make sense. Much like the entire story of Halo 2 and Halo 3, but let's not go there!

Right. Because we all know every struggling artist is the next Picasso, Scorsese, Barishnikov, or Mozart.

Because they can. The game is a massive success, probably the biggest turnaround I've ever seen in an online game. There's no reason to go F2P when a sub model is working so well for them.

Because like WoW and Eve (and unlike others), FF14 actually has something going for it and don't need to crutch itself onwards.

so high school bullies are actually terrorists? presidential campaigns ad people are terrorists? silly to put those people in the same box as ISIS or al quada imho

Alright, I'll bite. To preface, I'm not really "For" gamergate, but I can empathize with why they do what they do — even if I don't really agree with most of their would-be conspiracies.

It depends. If you have a salient point to make, that is one thing. It's another to make empty presumptions just for the sake of making that point. If the talking points and their validity are up in the air and can be discussed calmly, that is ok. Any kind of abuse, doxxing and such are out of bounds. No matter which…

"There continue to be women, people of color, lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and queer artists who are being trolled and spammed and doxxed and hacked," he says. "Even driven from their homes. It's no longer possible for those of us in this room to ignore or minimize these issues in our industry or with our art."
