Every type of humour becomes shit when mob-mentality kicks in, because it becomes harassment.
This. These last 7 pages have to be preserved for future generations.:D :D :D :D :D :D
Good read, good read. I couldn't control myself and started laughing with the full voice in the office. Keep up the good work guys.
Yeah. I was being rhetorical of course.1) Her writing - while by no means stellar - is leaps and bounds beyond the drivel Hepler cranks out.I never realized it before, but one of the leader writers for Human Revolution was a woman, Mary DeMarle. If this Hepler debacle is all about her being a woman, why doesn't anyone have a problem with DeMarle?
2) She hasn't gotten on a soapbox, claiming that any legitimate complaints about her work stem from people being jealous of her vagoo
3) As far as I'm aware, she's concentrated on writing - her job - not making inane statements about gameplay decisions that should be left to the game designers. (Although recent products make me doubt the competence of biowares designers as well).
It's incredible how many Codexers are mislead by the lack of foul language and assorted dumbfuckery.The Forbes article seems to miss what pissed me (and judging from comments, others) off in the first place; Hepler's comment about how we're all just jealous of her job and gender. Unsurprisingly, Bioware seems to have missed that as well. This whole thing would probably blow over if they did anything to back away from Hepler's comments, but instead they're vindicating her.
That article is the educated version of White Misogynistic Basement Dwellers want their toys back.
With added bogus sales data to top it all.
The summary of that piece is:
Hardcore gamers upset that games are going mainstream, society is a-changing, let's thrown in the tea party, gay marriage add the full quotation of the Hamburgess, nevermind that the full quotation doesn't change a damn.

Yeah,it looks like it's just a leftard who found the opportunity to attack gamers,the tea party,conservatives in general and everything else he doesn't like.I don't get why people around here like it,is it because it's in Forbes instead of a random blog or something?
Finally caught up with this thread, burning up half of the working day.
But now my brain is fried and the other half of the working day is wasted as well.
And Biodrones wonder why posting constructive criticism is such a chore/This is why we can't have nice things.

If you ever want to do it again, that thread is still open.
Fuck them! This is the reason why I dispise the Biodrones. No matter how well written you state a criticism, even if you are right they will make up some bullshit reasoning to lick Bioware's balls. The critics are always wrong and Biowareians are always right.snip
Well, I'm glad that Mr. Bleach solved that for us, finally years of codexian debate have been put to an end.The defining aspect of western RPGs is that are branching dialog options.
So my Might and Magic games are not RPGs. Nor are the Wizardry, Ultima games. Damn, and I thought that I was playing RPGs the whole time. Silly me.Well, I'm glad that Mr. Bleach solved that for us, finally years of codexian debate have been put to an end.The defining aspect of western RPGs is that are branching dialog options.

Dating sims, on the other hand, with all that massive ammount of romance choices and no combat whatsoever, are true hardcore RPGs, not declining hybrids. We still have some indie developers fighting the good fight, with great RPGs such as Katawa Shoujo being made, but luckly BioWare has awakened and is finnaly returning the the old-school roots of great classics such as True Love.So my Might and Magic games are not RPGs.

typical youtuber with his entire fucking worldview shattered said:why dislikes? O__o
he probably really believes this shit said:I said I side with EA, and we all know what that does in the post SOPA overreaction days.
possible codexer said:Wait, you name yourself after the main character of Baldur's Gate, and then you defend the woman that ensured that no Bioware game will ever come close to being as good as they once were? Fuck you.
kid said:I would never expect BioWare to be as good as BG2. But I still enjoy their games.
says the trannyloverDuskhu is vomit material. Anyway.
Hm, judging by the comments not even Gamespot crowd is lapping up Bio bullshit. *tentative* Incline of Gamespot?
