And Universal is playing the long game, as more and more of their films are geared to appeal for Chinese markets, allowing for them to shoot products there and get a more stable foothold on the area. Just because there aren’t dollars available instantly, doesn’t mean that they don’t know how good the success of…

More Bruce Wayne does sound cool, but this being Telltale I’m more worried that they’re once again promising more than they ever plan to deliver. Even with Fables they took the easiest way out most of the time, and the episodes went really limp after the second one. Their main thing seems to be great ideas, pitch…

Nope, Drake ran away from the wedding between 2 & 3.

He doesn’t jump back in because “he’s bored.” If that’s what you got out of it, you either weren’t paying attention, or went in wanting to hate the man in the story.

I’m glad they’re still working on it. The game was one of my favorites from last year, and I can’t have enough slug-cat in my life.

“Quick google” means exactly that, that I refuse to devote time to researching something that is inherently stupid. The same way that I can dismiss the Bechdel test off hand, because it’s something that started off as a joke, and then spiraled into something truly hilarious as some people took it seriously. Same thing…

At least the good part is that Shadow of Colossus has aged remarkably well, and is one of the rare few games that can be replayed again and again. So if (god forbid) this doesn’t turn out as good as we hope, there’s always the Colossi.

It took me about 30 minutes, while others took as long as 45 minutes...

Says the man who ignored everything else. I googled “female gaze” and the first stuff is TV tropes, Verge, and Kinja. But please, do go on about how others are so bad at things and living in your bubble where ridiculous concepts like gender gaze exists.

Amusingly, a quick google reveals nothing but more Kinja links, Verge, and Gawker talking about this. So I’m gonna go with: yup, still horseshit. Even TV Tropes grudgingly admits that these things are so prevalent, that we’d have to call EVERYTHING a gaze if we wanted to be accurate. You’d have a male gaze that might…

Almost nobody in FF9 was human to begin with, so there’s that. FF10 had Wakka, who was a stand-in for Hawaii/Samoa, Lulu who was clearly Japanese, and then a bunch of alien/anthropomorphic creatures. FF12 had Balthazar as one of the leads (and probably more, I stopped halfway through because the plot sucked), and 13…

You’re making the assumption that everyone shares the same sense of immersion as you do - hence the “everyone should feel this same way”.

So, you’re saying that “this makes me uncomfortable, therefore it should make everyone uncomfortable”?

The basis of the suit is that America is an inherently corrupt nation with little or no law for the average citizen, and everything for big corporations.

Yeah, because those repeated shots of some of the main characters in leather outfits with no shirts on is clearly not the same thing, right?

Heavy Rain is a waste the moment you realize that the DM is cheating to make sure the game goes exactly where they want it to go. After that you can basically piss away every single scene (as some characters can’t die until it’s plot convenient), and it won’t matter a damn until the very last part - and those are just…

So... like Hideo Kojima is right now?

What parts of Mission Impossible, Super 8, Star Trek or Force Awakens did not have real endings? Force Awakens might be argued that it didn’t, but everyone knows exactly why that is, and where it’s going.

All Nintendo really needed to say was “because it’s our IP, and we don’t feel like it needs to change the gender.”

The Orlando statement was classy, and well timed. It also didn’t require any other disclaimers that any reasonable adult knows and understands - entertainment and games has no effect on these shootings.
