Well - you may actually be wrong. I can't dispute how you've perceived things growing up, but I can question whether it represents the majority. Recently in my country, they enquired a large population of pupils as to how they felt about people being homosexuals and while only some 13% of the...

Yes, I'd certainly say so by now. I won't pretend that *everything* is in their favour, for example, there's still a slight gap in salaries in my country, but that may as well be attributed to the fact that men are more aggressive when negotiating the terms of their employ than their female...

First off, that does not constitute a wall of text, hell I read 8 times that just taking a dump (are we really so scared of text these days that anything above 4 sentences is considered a wall of text ? ) What you're dealing with is basically chemistry and the need to procreate - you can...

Am I the only one finding it entertaining that it's perfectly ok to butcher scores of people of all races, genders and whatnot - but we're always supposed to feel special about it being a little girl ? Meeeeeeh - let the girl fend for herself. Oh yea, and I might actually buy it because of...

Can't speak for his motivation to do so, but I'm right with him on this one. Not because I particularly hate myself or because I think females are superior or any such nonsense. From my point of view, it furthers my agenda of not being dependent on anyone, and that's what attracts me. See, if...

Contrary to what most seem to say - yea, I agree with you OP - it's annoying as hell to see what we originally loved and had to ourselves get invaded by a bunch of mediocre narrow-minded fucking cattle. Reflecting on that, it's probably what drove me away from certain genres of gaming until...

Another point toward Company of Heroes, it really is an *excellent* game. The features a clever cover system meaning units gain protection from hiding in craters, behind walls etc. There's also a fair amount of focus on unit compositions such as mixing infantry types to create an effective...

Oh dear lord no :P Of course I disagree on both fronts since I used the examples in my original post, no surprise there. But I never did elaborate on it so here goes. What having both lock picks and multi-tools did for the game was to spawn situations where multiple solutions to a given...

I'm not so much discussing the number of "titles" because the PC naturally lends itself to a lot of low-cost development of simplistic games. Namely because there's no Microsoft or Sony to please and acquire development/distribution licenses from. But when we're talking *big* titles, the PC...

I still maintain that ME2 is dumbed down in every respect. I died about 5 times in total playing that game and in general everything was p*ss easy whereas ME1 actually gave me a hard time until I bothered with inventory management, procurement of weaponry, party customization etc. For...

They're not *the* most ignorant and stupid comments, that has already been covered pretty well, but they're getting pretty annoying "Console gaming sucks" -- Ok, funny that PC gaming is such a minority that without consoles, it probably wouldn't get that many titles. "You can't play games...

Lately I've seen a lot of positive reviews of and opinions on Mass Effect 2. To me it's just the last step in a trend which I've seen, and hated for a long time. In order to make the game more 'accessible' and 'streamlined' the inventory management of Mass Effect 1 where you had to manage...

You absolutely sure about that ? I haven't seen any of you for a while

What's entertaining to me is not the discussion about the ridiculous size of the "gun", but more so the fact that people have become so "terrorized" that a boy can't even play with a damned toy gun anymore. I'm happy to say I live in a country which, despite all the terror propaganda, still...

It's a little beyond me why so much time is spent on making romance an option in the games at all. This time, there are so many choices that I've basically given up keeping count of it. That said, as a straight male, I'd have no problem with Shepard being gay. I don't in any way see a...
