more suggesting the first rather than the second one.

My recent immersion in this site's community has demonstrated that there is a lot of debate over problematic representations of social groups in gaming that is just recently starting to be talked about in depth. From my research it seems like a lot of these issues would be easily remedied during...

I think Sessler makes a pretty good point. But we do need to take the wording of the trophy in the context of the normal naming of trophies and achievements. Most tend to be some kind of funny one-liner meant to make the player laugh and usually it is harmless. However in the context of the...

Which system was it on?

I really like the high frequency blade lamp that came with Metal Gear Rising. But it was all overpriced pretty much.

VVVVVV Also has one the of the best mini-game/game modes ever that is more like a rhythm game than a puzzle game but it definitely adds to its longevity.

I haven't played the sequels but I live with a bunch of people who trumpet how amazing they are from the rooftops. Based on what they told me I think I would have enjoyed AC3 a lot more if I had played the spinoffs but at the same time then I would have blown hours of my life wading through the...

It seems as though there is a sense in which the reboot syndrome is for all the reasons given in the poll. Which doesn't make them bad even if it is very cash grabby at first glance. On the other hand in theory younger developers grew up with these old franchises. As these developers move into...

I would look into that though. But if I remember correctly the expansions add more customization to flagships and lets you build large orbital bases that also have customization options. It also adds the possibility of a diplomatic victory I believe.

The only space 4x game I can think of that I've really enjoyed was Sins of a Solar Empire. It doesn't really meet all your criteria but it is up there in terms of how it looks and how much stuff you can do. Especially if you buy the version with the expansions.

Yeah my general strategy early on was to use as much stealth as possible and only cross roads after a patrol would pass otherwise clear the outposts in each region and then you shouldn't have much issue even on the roads. But ultimately the best way I found was to try to avoid conflict as much...

I think you are spot on with your post and it is very important to bring up how blurry these issues can get when talking about these sorts of issues. Especially when we start to cross the lines between the actual game content and the real people working as booth babes regardless of whether or...

Solidus and Big Boss do have the same voice actor I believe which makes sense given that he is the only perfect clone of Big Boss. But I'm still unsure what reason Kojima would be able to work out as to why Big Boss' voice would change between PW and Ground Zeroes

Yeah you are all making good points but I feel like they could make it work based on Big Bosses age in Ground Zeroes since Hayter doesn't voice him in MGS4. But I suppose he is much older in that particular game.

I think to some extent you may be right based on the fact that the Tropes vs. Women Kickstarter absolutely shattered its fundraising goal. However, it is important to examine such things anyway given that just because an anti-woman mentality is not overt does not mean that is does not exist. But...
