Sure comes across that way. How she handled it afterwards is irrelevant. It's the initial comment that is sexist. Beyond that she could have had a lot of different reasons for not expressing her genuine interest in playing the game for herself. Assuming she didn't do so that is. She doesn't really talk about what she…

I completely agree. While I can understand why she isn't doing so I really think what we need as an industry to make this kind of thing change is for people to be called out on this more often.

I think it's worth telling us about because the other articles recently have been prety moronic. I see no issue with the Hitman trailer or the Lara Croft stuff but I don't see how anyone can say with a straight face that this is ok. So it's good to hear that there are legitimate complaints not just "I'm a woman let me…

Apparently some guys feel threatened by this. I'm not sure why. I wouldn't have handled the situation the way she did but that doesn't mean she handled it wrong. It's shitty that it happened at all. I don't see why we need to go beyond that.

You say that like it somehow justifies the behavior. I would have done things differently in her sitation but that doesn't make the PR guy right. He was being a douchebag, it was sexist behavior. Why are we arguing about that point?

Thank you for sharing this. This is obviously an issue. I've disagreed stongly on a lot of these gender related articles lately but I can't see any justification for this behavior. The PR people should be there for the start of everyone's game, give them a little intro/pitch, and then offer assistance to everyone. If…

Yeah, that's where I was going with that one.

What about xbox with ipads? All you'd need is 4 people who already have ipads and a free (or cheap) app installed on each. Not a perfect solution but...

Exactly. Just because the FPS market is oversaturated doesn't mean the first person perspective should be thrown out the window.

If they don't make a new Pokemon Snap game for the WiiU then Nintendo is staffed by idiots. This is the perfect game for that system. Should have been a launch title.

Miyamoto is obviously talking about a first person perspective game rather than a shooter. And I think it'd be a great fit for him. People have mentioned a number of good examples of first person games that weren't shooters but Myst seems to be the most obvious example to me. That's what I picture when reading what…

While this isn't something I think Miyamoto will ever do I love the idea. It'd be great to see a 3rd party company do something like that in the future. That could actually get me playing a CoD game again.

I really feel for all the people complaining that this isn't splinter cell anymore. I've had this kind of thing happen with games I love in the past and it killed me. The problem for me is that I never like the old splinter cell games. I thought they looked boring as hell. This is a game I'll actually play. I liked…

Would you expect the average person to know about second wave and third wave feminism? I can't say I've dedicated my life to the subject. If you're trying to have a conversation you'll have better luck taking meowmix's approach and explaining things. Telling me I'm ignorant and then choosing not to do anything to…

Well I'm certianly in favor of 3rd wave feminism as you describe it. It's just that I rarely see that out here. Or rather that those who feel that way don't label themselves as feminists, male or female.

Well I'll certainly agree it's not revloutionary and that it's not terribly brave as a narrative tool. I do think it's brave to try to reimagine the game the way they're doing it (including the rape) given how well established the series is and the potential for gamers to rebel against the change in gameplay and story…

If they do a shitty job of it then they deserve to be crucified. I fail to see how it's any worse for a video game to try this method than a book or a movie. In fact, I think it makes more sense given that the genre is still in its infancy. Eventually we'll have moved beyond this kind of thing but early in the life of…

With the main character of the game? And in a game as large as Tomb Raider? Doubtful

Well apparently it didn't stay in the 80's because I've heard those arguments recently and I'm only 27. I'd never heard the name Dworkin before this moment. I'll conciede that the draft isn't a perfect example but all evidence I've seen of feminism has been attempts to argue for privileges for women rather than…

Female chavanism isn't disingenuous or sexist. It exists. Whether it should be equated with feminism or not is a point I'm willing to discuss. Everytime I've heard feminism used in the last 10 years it was used in the context of female chauvanism.
