In saying all of that... Ellie looks less like Ellie and more like the motion-capture actress that she was roughly based off. Anyone else notice that?

She was 14 or 15 in the first game. Your facial features don’t change that much by the time you’re 18/21. The likeness is still there because she always had the likeness…

No, I think she just means they might have been pandering. Long before any creative choices were made by Naughty Dog for the narrative, the underground community had already decided Ellie was a lesbian. I believe something similar happened with the movie Frozen.

So one does wonder [regardless of attention to…

Spoiler tag please. You might think it’s self-explanatory because you have ‘’after you’ve finished’’ in the headline. But I actually assumed it wasn’t a spoiler in any way because of this.

Interesting...

My original comment was that the editor of this article sounds like they’ve jumped onto a bandwagon after only playing the most hyped Persona game — Persona 4 Golden. SMT is better, but most people only know of Persona 4 because it was marketed to the mainstream. It has global exposure. SMT has nowhere…

P4G is by no means a bad game. None of us are hating on it. We’re saying it’s over-rated. SMT are superior, but I understand they’re not as ‘’accessible’’ to the mainstream. But even P3 is better than P4, and just as accessible.

Yetta, with all due respect, you may want to re-read what I said. Your comment didn’t address what I was saying — it conveniently ignored it and then continued to hammer on with its own belief. Which is nice and all, but what’s the point of responding to me specifically if you aren’t going to respond to what I said…

‘’Most’’ save the generalisations for the judge. I’m a guy and I can attest to not being offended by female paraphernalia. If the majority of your subjective experiences with men have been unfortunately unsavoury that still does not account for ‘’most’’.

You do not know most men in this world. You only know most of the…

Jesus Christ, there are some sexist generalisations on here. I love first-wave feminism and we owe it in droves for the progression we’ve achieved in today’s world. But I don’t agree with how segmented and obscure it’s become. I’m pro egalitarianism.

Due to feminism’s dichotomised nature, I know a lot of wonderful…

Harassment of any form is never okay. What the lady did in the video, based on your description, was self-defence.

If a woman is threatened or in genuine danger, kicking the balls could save her life. If a woman is simply kicking a guy in the balls just to blow off some steam then it’s, of course, not okay.

Because if we suffer severe trauma to a tender area like the testicles it can cause cancer. The same principle behind why you don’t yank at a woman’s breasts — sensitive body areas aren’t made for trauma.

Do they not teach this in high school anymore?

Why are we generalising men as monsters? I’ve never done anything…

I like it when writers think outside of the box and subvert norms. Good work, Jason, I’m giving you a promotion.

True, but that’s what TGS was for I think.

So there’s no gripes about anything objectively wrong with the game, just some personal little biases: art style, colours, personal perspective on what gravity-shifting powers should entail. But nothing that’s actually going to sway anyone away from this. [Unless an art style is shoddy] the critique with art style…

Colorofgrey, you seem like a nice, gentle, easy-going person. So the desire to argue with you just isn’t there.

You have an opinion that I accept as valid and understandable even if I don’t agree with it. So no amount of explanation is going to make me right or you wrong. The need to debate isn’t necessary for me…

No, it doesn’t.

Well that’s my good deed for the day.

No, it sounds more like someone who is insinuating that the author of the article likely hasn’t played the entire series due to the errors and lack of fact-checking. And there’s nothing wrong with such a speculation with basis. No vendettas here. I’m just calling it as I see it.

I’m sure you’re a nice guy and all, but…

Absolutely agree with you, Claire! You’ve rephrased what I said so it’s hard not to.

Someone didn’t put on their reading glasses. Ishmari, the class is looking at you.

The operative word in this example is ‘’arguably’’. What that entails is that the writer is self-aware of the subjectivity of taste so it’s unnecessary to remind me of my own opinion. I know what my opinion is and I’m simply expressing…

I hate to say this, but this whole article feels like it was written by someone who has only just recently jumped on the Persona bandwagon and just wants to gush about how special they are for liking it.

Persona 4 is arguably the worst iteration in the sub-series. Not including the spin-offs of the sub-series, of…

‘’You must be dumber than I am to still be arguing about this’’. That makes no sense; it takes two to tango.
