I've had more fun with Tera's gameplay than I ever have with WoW's.

While I do agree that it's violence is self indulgent and nihilistic, I don't think that there's anything really wrong with that. Some games are fun specifically because they let the player revel like an amoral sociopath. As for other examples of self-indulgent games, gta and saints row come to...

The reason its a big deal is because the player character doesn't have an identity that the game's context depends on, and yet despite this, you aren't allowed to choose, they're denying the player the choice to make a political statement. That sort of thing, shitting on good design for the sake...

I fucked up my post and completely rewrote it, I meant to quote you and write a bit more. Anyways, I've heard people cite borderlands for forced inclusiveness that hurt the writing. I've seen some of dragon age 3's characterizations, I refuse to play it after they butchered the combat though...

Thats not at all what I was saying. I was saying that bias hurts the story, and that games where the plot develops naturally around the planned events, rather than the writer's own morals, flows more logically. If developer want to produce diverse games I don't really care, I wont play it or...

Seeing as I don't really watch tv, I don't personally care one way or the other. They're definitely allowed to do so, but if they want to keep people interested, it might be bad for marketing. On the other hand though, rushing production could easily damage the quality of the show. I guess what...

Stories like that in games do exist. Not all stories are written to reinforce a set of values, and writing one around a value and including one in the story are two different things. [br /]Also, even if you want diversity without that being the subject of the game, forcing the industry to change...

Not specifically regarding the escapist, but just in general, I hate rules that are open to interpretation. Ambiguity in rules not only prevents the ones that are to be obeying it from adequately understanding what that should and shouldn't be doing, but it allows its enforcers to use the rule's...

Similar how? Physically, yes, I'm fine with that. Similarity of mind is the only thing that really matters to me, and if the writing is good enough, I don't even really need that. Bottom line for me is that I want the game to be good; I don't really care about anything else. [br/] Personally...

ZP and gg. I was going to make an account years ago when ZP first came out, but I was just too lazy. It took the gamergate to finally motivate me actually join the forums, this being one of the few places that it could actually be discussed.

I would go with protean greninja, contrary serperior, and mega gardevoir in three mon battles.

As a brown person, I've never had any complaints with playing as a white character, or the opposite sex for that matter, because I approach the game with the understanding that I am not the subject of the story. In games where the narrative is dependent on the character's race or sex (e.g. a...

Firstly, they don't have majority power. If they did, the issues that they want to bring to peoples attention would get taken as seriously as women's issues, and they aren't. Secondly, like it or not, crazy members are still members, and I've seen more crazy from feminists then MRAs. What...

They exist. They get a lot of shit for some reason, but despite all the bitching, I've never once seen an mra member advocate for the genocide of the opposite sex as I have feminists.
