Although I do hate the stereotypes about female gamers, Grand Theft Auto isn't necessarily perpetuating that stigma. You make it sound like they're trying to actively exclude women, but perhaps they thought men simply suited their needs better. When we do get to a point where women are accepted as gamers as much as…

I actually get that kind of mindset with any long-awaited sequel. As soon as Skyrim came out I kept thinking, "This is fucking great, but in a few years ... how will Elder Scrolls VI look?" Obviously not realistically thinking about the game being out soon or anything, but one of my favorite pleasures in gaming is…

RDR definitely had some bombass multiplayer. Posses were great, whether I was getting repeatedly ganked by them (oh my god, those spawn points are so fucking close to where you die), joining just to shoot all my posse mates in the back, or actually doing something cooperative like taking out forts.

You should make the argument that all humans are family and so we should all get to share the same XBL service.

• Survey Question One: If the Xbox One must use the Internet but can run online, then I will accept an offline gaming mode that lasts as little as 1 week. (Put N/A if you are sure you would simply never accept such a mode.)
  
  

I don't think it'd be a bad thing if they went in another direction. In this video, you see a lot more characterization given to the character than you'd expect from this series (the subtle act of him leaning on his sword; receiving a feather; the voice-over nemesis insisting he's doomed) and we seem to have a…
