Yes, yes you should. Stuff only gets weirder after the time jump, and the stuff that will *really* blow your mind doesn’t come until you do a New Game+.

In the general sense that’s true, but in this specific case, if you even think it’s possible to “disagree” with somebody being transgender, that means you don’t understand.

No punchline, Cecilia came out as a trans a while back and this strip is about it. There was a big post about it on their Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/perpetual-life-4891866

It’s funny because people said that surely Doom was going to be broken and unfinished because they weren’t sending out review copies, but it turned out to be one of the best FPS’s in years.

> my players have twice tried to rape female npc’s with their characters

It’s been well over half a year now since the last time I played Pathfinder (or any other F20-style RPG), after GMing a PF campaign for about a year and a half. It was a fantastic campaign, everybody loved it, but reading this and looking back makes me realize just how absurdly complex everything has gotten. At high…

Wyrd, this guy’s just trolling you. I know it’s frustrating, but it’d probably be better to just move on at this point.

I say you’re either a child who somehow managed to use your parents’ computer without their permission or you’re a very poor troll. Either way, I’m done.

The example I set out is not a vague, hypothetical argument. There are games produced in Japan such as Fatal Frame V or Fire Emblem: Fates that people want to enjoy as the creators intended. Unless you want to dedicate several years of your life to learning a new language, the only way to do that is for a localization…

I didn’t say that, or many other things you’re accusing me of. I didn’t say men and women are equal, I didn’t make any claims about gay representation, and I didn’t say you’re just making yourself angry. Stop putting words in my mouth if you want me to reply again. Also try consolidating your thoughts into a single…

I must also be missing something here; if you’re not trying to imply that this shouldn’t exist, what’s your point? Are you just making a big stink about it so that you can act smug and pretend like you have “deeply satisfying sexual and emotional lives” but anybody who enjoys this must not? You can make assumptions…

To a degree, it’s impossible to produce fictional media that doesn’t objectify characters. They’re not real people, after all, just drawings and words that were produced by other people, and they’re inherently representative of those peoples’ ideas and intended to make a point or achieve a goal. They are literally…

Kotaku’s a blog, not a news site. You should be going somewhere else if you want to be kept up-to-date on relevant gaming news rather than stories about eSports drama or obscure Japanese snacks.

You just have to accept that nobody’s perfect. Good people can do bad things, and believing something that was wrong does not lower the quality of somebody’s creative work.

Disclaimer: taste in music is entirely subjective, and I’m sure some people love the Tales soundtracks.

We could go through the last few decades of gaming and probably produce hundreds of games that have amazing soundtracks — glad to see somebody has already posted NieR in here — but I think there’s something to be said for consistency, and, IMO, the only two companies nowadays that consistently put out great…

Because even if it’s based in hate, it’s pretty fun to come and point and laugh at a sinking ship filled with rats.

I find it very strange that a lot of people are pretty down on M2 but seem to just ignore the first game; it was technologically impressive and innovative for the time, but almost all of M2's problems were also in M1, and the first game had even more poorly-defined goals and less interesting power-ups. The only real…
