The whole rest of this thread doesn't need to be here because you nailed it right out of the gate. I haven't played this game, so I assumed this was like Street Fighter where the character chooses a random victory pose at the end of a fight in which case I thought the forum poster was being a...

I know Yahtzee did acknowledge that the consumer need for a reliable value leads us to seek mediocrity. But I've seen these complaints for novelty a lot from critics and frankly I think they also have to acknowledge the corollary, that being a critic makes you get tired of sameness more quickly...

But you aren't roleplaying. The writer and the voice actor are doing it all for you. And in this case they aren't doing it well. They aren't presenting a character, they're just neutralizing your ability to present one yourself. At least in Saints Row IV (the only SR I've played) while you...

You didn't, but Wasted did.

I've come to appreciate that watching them can be less boring than seems apparent at first blush. Most sports games have a lot of depth to be appreciated by the longtime fan, just like a good game. My brothers and father who I consider to be smart people can talk at length about the intricacies...

And yet you have no problem with how geeks and gamers were generalized in the post I was responding too. I didn't say that all jocks are ugly just that a certain ugliness comes out of that community and that I prefer geek ugliness over jock ugliness.

Oh please! I don't care how bad they are, words are never as harmful as what can happen to you in the locker room after gym class. And you only get that kind of ugliness from jocks. I'll take a lifetime of net rage over 10 minutes in a locker room. Sports bring out the very worst sort of...

I don't even understand how the two are comparable. Play an F2P and either get a hollow toothgrinding experience or spend with no upper limit VS Buying a game for a one time transaction and then you have a complete game thats not designed around getting you to buy potions with real cash...

Even Wikipedia isn't going to be 100% free of that sort of thing. A wiki page for a work will usually have a "Reception/Criticism" section and if the sexism/racism/political whatever was notable enough then reactions to it will be represented in that section. Unless you go to that objective...

Thats what Iron Bull says to Krem but thats not what he says to Cassandra. He tells her that if a woman really wants it that badly, she can be a warrior and from now on she's considered a guy because role is everything. Its not just about transgender people. Role is everything. Sorry for the...

There's nothing ambiguous about how she worded this. Besides, she is a media personality now and her whole job is media criticism and carefully analyzing the messages in things. She never lets anyone off the hook when even an unintentional message crops up in or can be read in to their work...

Because making them all bi is an easier and more cost efficient way to include options in your game. They're clearly trying to hit a matrix of "bad boy, good boy" or "Betty and Veronica" but they're having to cover it with each gender and each sexuality. This either means you make all your...

I certainly don't think the writers are forcing in gay characters in general* nor do I think thats the problem. I think the problem is they're trying their darnedest to make sure every sensitivity was addressed. Take Dragon Age Inquisition. You have 8 options in this game, 3 female, 5 male...

Whats eyerolling to me is that in a series where sexuality and gender have never been big issues (women are not barred from any career field and excel in all of them, even the ones where you'd expect upper body strength to be a factor, and people sleep with whoever they want and its not a big...

Its funny you mentioned Morrigan as your example. Did you not even try to interact with her after the sex scene? Sex is the beginning of that arc, not the end. She's one of the few exceptions to what you're complaining about.
