I think the fact that all of us here have played violent video games and (hopefully) have never intentionally hurt someone because of them, is proof in and of itself.

It's not just Americans pal.

Weird, unneeded blame aside, I agree with your point.

Here's a comparison:

Someone is telling you to "Fuck off" in public. They are berating you in front of others for seemingly no reason. You tell him that he is being rude.

or

Someone posts a reference in a video game, that is not integral to the main story at all and is in fact, completely skippable. You tell him that he…

I think the fact that you're acting like a legitimate asshole is only proving LordDisco's point.

Especially if your upbringing is what you say it is.

Chrissakes man. Chill the hell out.

I enjoy games like FTL, Amnesia, and Hotline Miami a lot. I've been playing a lot of Dragon's Dogma, a game that got shit on from the press and reviewers and I'm having a really fun time with it.

However, my dad, who at one point worked more than 75 hours a week and was the sole…

When is everyone going to stop being a whiney little baby about spoilers?

SPOILER: Life is full of disappointment. It's not "ruining" a movie or a game if someone tells you the ending. You're interacting with other people about something you all love, so why get all hot and bothered about it? It wasn't like the game…

That doesn't even remotely compare and I really wish people would stop making that comparison.

It is not like the civil rights movement. It is not like the women's rights movement. Those were things were they could look at an area, point out particular problem towns and cities, and engage with them in person. We won…

How is this any different than the constant idiocy that plagues our nation when it comes to politics, education, economics, etc.?

Across the country, there are pockets of people who refer to african-americans as "coloreds". There are people (I'd wager FAR more people than play the average video game) who refer to…

That's what a casual gamer is though: someone who doesn't do much more than simply play the game.

I imagine the dad who played Arkham City bought it, not because he looked it up and it got good reviews, but because he was already at the store. My dad isn't a very big gamer, but compared to his friends he games quite…

Oh, and because you and your animation teachers don't like it, it isn't a thing. That's pretty neat. I'd love to hear your opinion on other things so I can know what is and what is not, in fact, a thing.

I have to disagree. If it's all gameplay, then we start to think developers as soulless individuals who are at work 24/7 to fix our problems.

I noticed in the video a lot of bags under eyes, a lot of slow speaking, etc. These people are tired, and they dedicate their everyday to making games and all these little tiny…

Holy god, I want. Everything about this game, want.

Take my money!

Loving this.

Let's hope they keep the non-combat approach. I feel we don't have a genuine stealth only game in the market, and we sorely need one.

Good catch!

Looks neat. I like the art direction a lot.

Seems sorta Bastion-y with some more modern tech.

They'd rather have Tom from marketing come up with a hasty little design in photoshop using the color-replacement tool than hire a designer to actually create something that people will really love to use. ; )

Not like I'm a bitter designer or anything...!

I gotta say, I'm sorta with you on that one. It was a fun game for sure, and the atmosphere/story was really suspenseful, it just seemed the gameplay took a hit from that. I knew when certain enemies would appear and when they wouldn't.

Then again, I beat Bioshock 1 for the first time last spring, so I feel as though…

Three paragraphs down, you accidentally typed "for Demarcia".

Otherwise, this sounds like something I need to see in video form.

Did you play the first one? Curious.

I can respect your opinion, and the fact that you respect mine is refreshing. I didn't want to personally attack you or your opinions. I just get so used to people automatically dismissing ideas that don't agree with them that I feel like I'll explode.
