    Jimquisition: Objectification And... Men?

    Eh, I was speaking hearsay never played it, so thanks for correcting me. Some authors can do it all in one go, but I meant more like you think up a story then you write it out and after you did such you see all of it's flaws, then you repeat this until the deadline. Anecdotally I've found...

    Jimquisition: Objectification And... Men?

    thanks for the summary of Tenchu, might look into it. Ok makes sense, though I just want well written, believable and memorable characters. The problem is to do this for gaming, it's expensive and requires a leader/designer with vision, also free reign from the publisher. Game...

    Jimquisition: Objectification And... Men?

    Never played Tenchi, but I understand the sentiment. Well with the amount of interactive narrative that'd need to be written, I'd let it slide if it was only male or female, etc. The Walking Dead focused on a black man from the south (not my demographic), but the way the character was...

    Jimquisition: Objectification And... Men?

    True outside of stealth games, you usually have to kill things, well there is Phoenix Wright. I'd like to see more games with only talking/debating maybe a spy game of sorts, but not a "super spy".

    Jimquisition: Objectification And... Men?

    I pretty much agree with you, though we can't just wait for companies to change (they're usually slow on this). And yes bad games happen and if that's your case for proving somethings(female MCs) profitability, you might just ruin it for everyone. Interesting, I just read it online, though...

    Jimquisition: Objectification And... Men?

    Yes, and money isn't the driving force for those indie devs, it's passion. Yes compared to other indies there beautiful, but they are no crysis, etc and that was my point. You don't need super expensive hyper-real graphics and vast open worlds. Marketing is only useful, once you actually have...

    Jimquisition: Objectification And... Men?

    Money's no real issue, it's passion. Me and many other gamers may like gaming, but have no real passion to want to make games, there are exceptions though. I just personally believe that if you (and it's not just you) have a problem with female representation in games, then do it yourself (Not a...

    Poll: Arrow - The Best Show on TV Today

    Not really a selling point, it's just better then most in my opinion. Well it's DC comics and green arrow's been on the justice league, though yeah no super powers per say, its DC's version of Hawkeye.

    Is ganking girl gamers a bad thing?

    To get achievements, what else is gamification good for?

    Poll: Arrow - The Best Show on TV Today

    Game o' thrones has little sex, and the sex it has is natural (no models with fake tits, etc) and to your smallville point, there both superhero shows done well.

    Poll: Arrow - The Best Show on TV Today

    Walking dead has nothing happening, though ARROW's just eh. Off Topic: When will your army of militant bears take over ze world! I'd like to know when I should leave.

    The new Lara Croft is about the first time I've ever seen a women being physically and graphically hurt in a game.

    Jimquisition: Objectification And... Men?

    What's stopping you from making a game? Or better yet women in general, they don't need to get a job at EA or any other big name, many indies have proved this. Tomb Raider had that stupid commercial with a bunch of actors going "I am Lara Croft", yet the actual game and plot was very good, no...
