I’m confused. We’re there a substantial amount of female generals in Ancient Rome? And of the 50% female:male birthrates, how many females enlisted in the military? Wouldn’t it be a much lower % by default. So are we really arguing over statistical accuracy?

I’m all for fictitious and fun additions in a video game but didn’t EA/Dice claim historical accuracy in their PR release? While women did indeed serve in the military during WWII their roles were not as fighters on the front lines with very few exceptions. So really this is more about how women are being portrayed as…

The problem is that it becomes a shifting standard based on other, unknown factors. I mean is it a gameplay to sex scene ratio? Or is it a factor of how much imagery is shown during the sex scene? Or is it about the culture in which the game is released as different cultures have very different ideas of what is and is…

The 4 million from kickstarter isn’t the total budget though. There’s the money the developer invests, private funding, publishers, etc. While indie games do plenty with limited budgets the majority are not even close to AAA quality.

I’m confused. How is Activision/Bungie signing an exclusivity deal which they could have easily changed the terms since it was their IP being controlled by Sony? Do you really think Activision’s lawyers messed up?

While I 100% agree that content-based exclusives suck, you can’t single out Sony for this problem. Heck, MS took an entire game that was multi-release and paid for the sequel to not be released on PS4 for 11 months. Yes, exclusive happen; yes, they suck for gamers; but let’s not pretend that Sony is somehow…

Yes, you need PS+ to access cloud saves stored on Sony’s servers but you can also backup your saves using a usb drive or external hard drive. Nintendo has no free method of backing up your save data, Sony does.

Ever hear of context? Sometimes people say socially unacceptable things but in the correct context they are harmless. It doesn’t make it a hate crime or racist if I joke with my black friend and call him the N word if we both know that it is a joke. It is only to outsiders who lack the context that it is offensive.

The multiplayer was an untested mess. There was a reason why they cancelled the multiplayer beta and that was because it wasn’t ready yet. I understand the need to lay blame somewhere but multiplayer had nothing to do with the state of the game.

Whole I admit the OP does have some bias you response is nothing but biased. Do you know that MS blocked cross-play at the launch of this generation? There is a reason games like FFXI were cross-play on the 360 but FFXIV is not on Xbox One and it has nothing to do with Sony. While I agree that blocking content is a…

And sadly you can’t blame developers for delivering a product that the gamers demand. In the end it is the gamers that make game like Nier: Automata the exception and Call of Duty the rule.

Does it even matter that women are not typically motivated by money when accepting a position while men are? Does it matter that women often take breaks to raise a family and are less likely to achieve higher level positions as they have less experience? Does it matter that the video game industry just has more male…

Because some companies hire based on merit, not based on the person’s sex. If two candidates apply for the same position and one of them is a better fit does the person’s sex even matter? Oh wait, if they are male then it does because a female deserves to have the position instead, right? The fact that the video game…

I mean seriously, did you watch the clip? What was racist in the least about what he did other than saying a word associated with racism but still popularized within the rap culture. You do realize that saying ‘nazi’ doesn’t make you a white supremecist, right? People are either overly sensitive or they honestly don’t…

Warframe did at one time actually charge platinum if you died too many times while using a specific frame. You could either use a limited coin to continue or you had to play another frame. The issue was that purchasing additional coins costed platinum so once you were out of coins and died enough times you were…

Agreed. If the ship combat was a stand-alone game I would have bought it instantly. The rest of the game was more Battlefront (sadly the 2015 version).

I’m sorry but to say that MS has been advocating for crossplay for a long time is either misinformed or incredibly shortsighted by MS. Ever play Warframe or FFXIV? Know why they originally launched on PS and not Xbox? That’s because both wanted crossplay and at that time only Sony would allow it.
