    "All that gamergate has accomplished has been nothing but the harassment of women, which was pretty much the agenda of Zoe's ex-boyfriend, directed at her specifically. Gamergate has accomplished zero in terms of "improving journalistic ethics.""

    Her ex's own agenda isn't really relevant, because it's not what the "movement" picked up on.

    "The author with whom she had the relationship hadn't even written anything about her, and didn't write anything about her or her game."

    Nathan Grayson did give her positive publicity by mentioning her and her game, in a

    I'd enjoy these more if I didn't have a deep running, somewhat irrational hate for these pre-fight hype events.

    "You kinda just proved both of my points. Seriously, read your comment again, imagine somebody else saying it, and see why some people might take from it that Gamergate is steeped in misogyny."

    How's that?

    "Let me remind you that there isn't a drop of evidence that Zoe Quinn slept with any of the people she was

    "Gamergate started when Zoe Quinn's jilted ex-boyfriend publicly accused her of sleeping around for good reviews, and a bunch of gaming dudes accepted this without question even though a lot of his claims were disproved"

    Don't know why people started saying it was reviews, but she did get a lot of positive

    "Gamergate has had the problem from its very start, given that it began as a campaign to harass Zoe Quinn into killing herself"

    There was no campaign to harass Zoe Quinn. There was a handful of twats that used the whole debacle as an excuse to do it, because provoking cunts are everywhere, at all time.
    The reason Zoe

    "Gamergate is seriously damaging the community"

    No, a tiny minority of trolls in it are.
    And they're on both sides, stirring the pot.

    And in a sense, media, for not emphasising that it's a small group of twats, are hurting gaming.

    Oh look, it's Aaron Eckhart.

    Imagine if all groups were judged by their crazy minorities.

    Do we even know if the guy's actually a Gamergate supporter (not that it would really matter), or just some typical cunt provoker?

    Eh, only the first.
    Mark Meer did a good job in ME2 and an excellent (better in many parts, imo) in ME3.

    *Gamergate

    The only people who'd say that are idiots that care more about provocations than any ideals or whatnot.

    Since when did idiots ever need a reason to do whatever they do?

    Goddamn I hate American stereotype military, with all the "HURR-HA" and dramatic Americaness.
    Playing as a Russian in Battlefield 3 was one of the best experiences (some design flaws aside), almost solely because they lacked it. They were professional as fuck.

    First person and some good ragdoll effects and it would've been neat.
    The top-down just doesn't do it for me.

    "it screams marketing gimmick, and not a very good one at that"

    Well, I mean, the game's trailer has gone fairly viral. So it's sort of good.

    Huge arms, small chest, small legs.
    Thor, your exercise program sucks.

    What's there to talk about?
    People like nudity, so they'll mod nudity into games. Boom.

    Now, if only game designers could start making weapons that look practical (yes, of course, some do.. but generally speaking).
    So many guns look like they're designed by people that have never held guns before, or know how they work.
