Still waiting on that SkyrimXMinecraft but with competent combat and the ability to build and fortify my own fortress/castle and put peons in it to work and live.

“Are you trying to suggest that women and men that aren’t hyper-masculine are “borderline” interchangeable?”

No, obviously not. I said he doesn’t expresses his masculinity in behaviour or looks.

“Was there some huge pressure for Nintendo to turn Link into a female before this, then Tinkle happened and it wasn’t enough?”

There were quite a bit of people complaining. I don’t know if I’d call it ‘huge’ though.

Which is kind of weird imo. The Zelda series of games are probably THE most pro-female series in AAA…

Not really, we see it all the time in games journalism, and in any journalism or media really.

You’re making the mistake of putting things in black and white, when they never are as such.

I don’t get what you mean. No corporate mouthpiece for ANY corporation speaks ‘the truth’. That’s simply impossible irregardless of company, whether it be Nintendo, Sony or Microsoft.

Even CEOs can’t ‘speak the truth’, because ‘the truth’ is always a nebulous thing, and at the end of the day there are many factors to…

Magazines and newspapers do it all the time. You can still critique, and still have your palms greased as long as you don’t overstep your bounds. Leaking games and doing exposes long after the fact aren’t so much overstepping bounds imo, but some companies may see it as such.

There’s also both.

They still do PR work for publishers though.

And people always call out Nintendo for any and everything. They are the biggest punching bag in the games industry. It’s been that way ever since the N64(when it became obvious they no longer held the iron grip they once had on the industry).

Yeah, but its videogame journalism, which is quite incestuous journalism. Companies essentially want you to be a tentacle in their giant octopus of PR. It doesn’t help when journalists usually go into development or come from PR backgrounds and have friends in the areas and don’t want to rock those boats.

That makes it…

Seems like the prototypical JRPG tbh. It was games like this why I shied away from JRPGs because after awhile they were all kind of blending into each other, but then you had stuff that deviated from this stuff and made me like them again.

This just looks like a throwback to those old ones. Though really it’s the…

And Perfect Dark, and Splatoon. They’ve had games far more violent than Goldeneye or Perfect Dark though.

Besides, if people read the article they’d find out that it was a suggestion, and Rare kind of used it in their ending of the game anyway.

I wouldn’t know honestly. I never played any after the first, in which I hoped they’d buckle down on and iron out the stealth and assassination mechanics, but it seems that wasn’t exactly the main focus of the franchise so I moved on.

I just heard the combat wasn’t fun on forums and such. It didn’t look too involved in…

I think the main problem with Day 1 DLC would be that some gamers think that content is being cut or not included with the game they paid full price for. And really, it’s kind of hard to convince otherwise since DLC is usually worked on alongside the full game. And then you have stuff where the game is released broken…

Yup, it really should be;

Pretty much, the series hardly is an assassination game already, if they included stuff like dragons and monsters, it’d be Shadows of Mordor with dragons, people loved that game sans the combat, but people don’t much like the combat in AC either. Well, people on gaming forums anyway.

Yup La Blue Girl, thanks.

Can I give a link to my friends webcomic here? Or is that considered spam?

Its not “Let the customers fix it!” though, its, “Let the customers make it an actual game!”.

It’s not really about the game being bad though, but more about what it means and its potential. The actual game(read gameplay, graphics etc) being bad itself seems pretty moot.

Why complain about a sentence that doesn’t make any sense?
