We see it for those games too because in general industry pushed the idea that graphics were the most important thing and they convinced each other of it. I don't care as much about graphics as long as I can clearly see what's going on and what I'm playing doesn't glitch its way to Geigerian...

I'd say blame it more on studios that were clamoring that graphics were the end all be all for games, mostly because graphical improvements look nice and were also much easier to do from a practical standpoint than doing better stories, etc. In terms of FO3, NV, and the like, I have not played...

Big fan of the Mist myself, and I probably shouldn't have said that, I was pissed off and reacted badly. The area I meant more was that when there seem to be problems in games or aspects of genres. Spec Ops the line got plenty of people angry calling it a bait and switch when it was set up to...

Actually she went to the papers to complain about it, and others marched on her behalf and argued. And if there were internet message boards they would have also been utilized too. Also, by and large I don't buy games that don't interest me, I don't buy call of duty, and remember me was...

There were a few interesting female antagonists in some older games. Sacrifice was one of them, the goddess of good actually can end up as an antagonist with a fair number of story arcs depending on the routes you take. I also think I remember some good adventure game female villains but they...

Like Gamers being offended at someone pointing out that their favorite game might have some serious problematic implications?

Well, if you want the easy way, gamers can keep ignoring problems and the people that care about equal and egalitarian societies just keep pushing on and accept that a lot of the gamers just aren't interested because they are in a state of cannot be bothered. I could point out that ultimately...

My own guess is that if books and reading are seen as uncool might just be that most well known books tend to have slightly crazy fans and that can generalize. Not to mention that a lot of people do most of their reading going through books that they're forced through, not enjoying the process...

A lot of it depends on the anime itself. In some cases it doesn't matter one way or the other. In some cases it can, usually if a character seems to have too high or low a voice. The other reason the subtitles can be helpful is that I can watch the movie muted and not disturb anyone. One of...

Not all JRPGs are bad, but he makes a few valid points. The biggest being the gameplay/story segregation and the large amounts of cutscene. I have played some terrible JRPGs and some good ones (Shin Megami Tensai: Devil Survivor was quite enjoyable). But, ultimately we often don't come here for...

In reading it I remember him commenting on his annoyance in a lot of games how when they did stealth if you fouled up once you'd die. His thoughts on that might want to be factored in to the insta-kill thing he was looking at if you didn't steer clear well enough (at least without providing a...

Only thing I wondered when he was commenting on how all you can do was shoot crap was what he had mentioned back in painkiller. How a shooting game could just be that, a shooting game where you went around killing shit. I understand the schtick but I do sort of wonder if he would have liked...

I'm surprised he didn't mention that Bayonetta looks oddly like Baronness from GI Joe, then again that might be more an American thing to notice.

Yeah, but then again as was also pointed out by Yahtzee in other reviews early games were based off of the Arcade model which was designed to kill us fast to make us go through our quarters like mad.

That was pretty good, oddly what made me start laughing loudly was the end bit that said 'He's not "that" hard to impress'
