No, they shouldn’t have to accept it as part of the game. If you want to goof around with your buddies, that’s one thing. But when a group of strangers get together with the intention of playing a competitive match, and you’re actively being a detriment to the team just to get a rise out of them, then you’re being a…

Sadly, they probably don’t sell as well as they could, considering how video game news outlets treat them like a niche of a niche of a niche. Even Kotaku will spend a whole lot of words talking about the gross inequality of genders in gaming, but when a title made BY women, FOR women comes along, we’re extremely lucky…

Because back then, people still had a modicum of decency. Over the years, consumer culture has made them more and more entitled and increasingly abusive towards retail employees.

PC is superior to consoles in every single way... except for exclusives that actually appeal to me. And that’s why I, personally, don’t game on my PC.

I know, right? Last generation, we had to wait 7+ years for a console to be on its way out before they started bringing over the quirky Japanese games and JRPGs. I’m actually optimistic.

I always had this pipe dream where, if I became ridiculously rich, I’d host a fighting tournament with events all over the world. I’d invite the most skilled representatives of dozens of unique martial arts to battle in front of gorgeous landmarks like these. It’ll never happen, but it’s about as close as we’d get to…

God, I’m glad I don’t care enough about Nintendo’s properties to get into this. I’m an obsessive collector, and the scarcity would drive me crazy.

Like I said, no good reason. It’s no longer a problem that solely affects the visually impaired. Some of these companies spend obscene amounts of time and money doing research, running focus groups and re-doing stuff just to make their game appeal to as many people as possible. But this is just too much work to be…

There really is no good reason why developers can’t provide an option to adjust text size. It’s obnoxiously small in some games, and as the author pointed out, even people who can see just fine might have a problem with it. If you’re hunched over a monitor, that’s all well and good, but some people have their…

Tokyo Twilight Ghosthunters, and if I beat that, Sacred Line Genesis. Yeah, it’s horror-themed visual novel month.

I just hope her 2P outfit looks like something a kickboxer would actually wear into battle.

Social Services exists to intervene in cases where parents don't want to do their damn jobs, and giving children unrestricted, unsupervised access to technology isn't all that far off from letting them wander the streets. In both situations, the kids are potentially exposed to all sorts of disagreeable things, as well…

If I remember correctly (didn't watch the video, but I did read about the game before), you don't have to kill. You can also spread rumors, manipulate people and win by making your enemies social outcasts. So if you want to go around killing people, that's also on the player.

As far as trolling goes, this seems like something I could easily ignore until everyone gets tired of it and moves on to the next meme.

You know exactly what he means, and you're arguing with someone who probably shares your exact same viewpoint, only he didn't take time to list off every obvious and extreme exception.

This is probably one of the best articles on the subject that I've ever read on this site. It brings up honest, valid points without being condescending. And I'm genuinely intrigued by the game. Definitely keeping my eye on this one.

Fair enough! I think there's room for everything, from the ridiculous and improbable to the painstakingly realistic. Trouble is, there hasn't been enough of the latter to balance out the former.

I thought the same thing. She's plenty attractive without being oversexualized. Not that I mind oversexualized, but it's really nice to see some variety.

I think it's kind of sad that we have to label other peoples' sexual fantasies with words like "creepy", "slimy", "icky" and "gross". There's some far-out stuff out there, and very little of it is my cup of tea, but as long as they're not hurting anybody, I try not to think poorly of people for fantasizing about stuff…

I could be wrong, since I haven't seen most of these, but I'm pleased to see that nobody from one of those 500+ episode shonen series made the list.
