So do you only watch movies that don’t make you question why you are enjoying them in the first place?

The first time I ever played fallout 3 I skipped megaton to go right to the nearby supermarket only to turn a corner and run into a group of slavers getting murdered by a death claw. After shooting and running around the building for like 15 minutes the damn thing kills me with a sliver of health left. I spent a good…

The stories are dumb by the nature of heroic magic filled adventures with magic powered robots but these games often have character that are written in a very endearing ways which is where the adoration for their “stories” comes from. Take Red XIII from FF7. A talking intelligent magic using lion from a hippie commune…

This article made me think tha a final fantasy vi remake in wind esker style cell shading would work amazingly. It would retain its cartoony fun but still be 3d enough to convey emotion in the important parts.

Yeah but rifles

Ok so it’s NOT ok to make fun of a girl because she likes Star Wars but it’s ABSOlUTELY ok to make fun of any age males who enjoy my little pony?

It could only be about her gender of it was a group of boys making fun of her. When a group of girls makes fun of another girl for what she likes it is not sexist. That is just exclusionary mistreatment or not liking the same things as everyone else in her group did. Sure, society telling girls that they should not…

I'm 26 and always use my mic in destiny and rarely use it in GTA because of how many children are running rampant in GTA.

I’m gonna be the crotchety old grandpa and say in my day we were lucky if we got to pick a character that wasn’t a color palette swap of player one. Kids these days with their “Character customization” :P

The only games that I’ve played online where where girls weren’t speaking are shooters. Online rpgs usuall dont have voice chat and you can find plenty of teenage girls playing not ashamed to admit they are in fact teenage girls. I think the more 13 and 14 year old boys use voice chat in a game the less you'll find…

Ok so I was thinking about this while pooping just now and I think that the engenderment of video games happened because games started being taken seriously as an industry that makes money in a time where women were Very marginalized in the hard sciences professionally so this bed industry by default was filled with…

Reading the Whitney hills piece I was struck by hills comments that society veeed games as a male thing for too long but tbh I don’t think it was so much society that pushed it into its male centric role directly but indirectly. That is to say that lots of females never developed the interest for video games because…

-20 DKP for not NWA. Rocky start there kev-o :P

Stop being mean to Patricia guys. She’s an excellent journalist who covers the widest range of games in my Opinion and always writes insightful though provoking full articles. Plus she’s my favorite kotaku writer since Jason got to Mercury because jealousy :(

god*

Thats America friend. There is no Gid because you all worship money :(

Yeah people get Older And jaded and start making rationalizations for why selfish decisions rule the world. Selling garbage works and so does stealing and cheating so why is being a profitable scumbag morally ok? Or is it that humans have no responsibility for upholding moral standards when money involved?

I think the problem is in trying to put dense exposition into a game because that is the domain of non-interactive media. The defining characteristic between a video game and a cgi movie is the player interactivity so when that is present in the same media as a dense, verbose story the two features compete or…

But before cutscenes became a thing the gameplay of a game WAS the story. They story of links adventure to saw the princess pretty much only existed in the context of the actions the player took. Some games can be boiled down to switch back and forth between story cutscenes and actin like say the order 1886. But thrts…

Yeah Adam sandler movies are about as detrimental to the word as social media. Let’s not forget the quality of jokes, comments and posts in midline a sites you guys. I bet at least one of you people are going to be paying obey to see this because of your kids or something so take it easy with the holier than thou stuff
