Should also include raped for 5 minutes before load game pops up bro.
Might wanna teach those female gamers that adventuring alone fighting bandits is a baaaaad idea.

Judging by what for example orcs, are based on, a male adventurer would also end up total anal destruction. Generally, falling into hands of evil humanoids should mean torture, tasteless rape and possibly slavery.

Anyway, how about skipping the horrifying gruesome lethal violence altogether? We could have a let's say, dungeon crawler with only tastefully-done sexual violence and non-lethal weapons? Spells and items would be centred on arousing/humiliating/neutralizing opponents and defence against enemy spells/items instead of cutting, piercing, burning, etc. and other horrible things.

Yes, yes, always wondered why Dragonshouts can disarm opponents, knock them off a cliff, but never tear their clothes apart. Lara Croft in her latest Tomb Raider outing suffers from this problem as well. She wears all that dirty clothing, bleeding all over the place, and yet her clothing retained its durability from start till finish, minus some wear and tear. Ridiculous.

I was also shocked when it veered into the topic of weapons and shooting people.

Where did Jason go?

 

[DarkUnderlord]

I don't want no scrub
A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me
Hanging out the passenger side
Of his best friend's ride
Trying to holler at me
I don't want no scrub
A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me
Hanging out the passenger side
Of his best friend's ride
Trying to holler at me

But a scrub is checkin' me
But his game is kinda weak
And I know that he cannot approach me
Cuz I'm lookin' like class and he's lookin' like trash
Can't get wit' no deadbeat ass

You get a face of games journalism who awards Game of Forever to Skyrim. You get a face of games criticsm calling BioShock: Infinite a major step towards merging art and games. You get tons of critics naming The Last of Us 'The Citizen Kane of video gaming.' It would be like if Transformers got Best Movie at the Oscars, or Man of Steel won in Cannes.

Let's talk about how that Japanese developer doesn't know about Steam (how silly!), but let's never question widespread idiotic beliefs people keep saying, like "turn-based games were made only due technological limitations". There's not a single "aren't you bored of FPS?", "do we need another Call of Duty?","should Fallout 3 really be an FPS?", "aren't multi-platform releases are destroying PC games?", "isn't Halo's Cortana extremely misogynist?", "Are cinematic games really a step-forward?" or anything remotely critical of AAA games and the status quo...

It would be really interesting to hear jschreier explanation of this phenomena.

 

[felipepepe]

Don't get your hopes, he registered, replied and never came back. Was already more than what most do, but I doubt we'll see him here again.

 

[dnf]

"isn't Halo's Cortana extremely misogynist?"

To be fair, Kotaku does this unnecessary shit all the time.

 

[Necroscope]

That was more of a rhetorical statement. Yet who knows, even the darkness must pass.

 

[Machocruz]

I wonder if western AAA darling GTAV will get raked over the coals for its "misogyny" like Dragon's Crown and MSGV just did... (rhetorical pondering).

 

[felipepepe]

"isn't Halo's Cortana extremely misogynist?"

Never on flagships like Halo, that's what I'm saying. Just look at how they cover the same subject, but on different games:

Dragon's Crown (by mr. jschreier , no less):

Game Developers Really Need To Stop Letting Teenage Boys Design Their Characters

As you can see, the sorceress was designed by a 14-year-old boy. Perhaps game development studios should stop hiring teenagers? At least they're cheap, I guess.

The Real Problem With That Controversial, Sexy Video Game Sorceress

Why complain? Because it's embarrassing. Because I wouldn't want to be seen playing it in public.

Halo 4:

Conan O'Brien Also Thinks Halo 4's Cortana Is Pretty Hot

I mean, I get it. The story's depth might seem a little excessive and unnecessary to an outsider who thinks video games are made for mindless fun. But every year video games get a little better at telling stories. And that's definitely something we shouldn't roll our eyes at, it's something we should be proud of.

So yeah, Dragon's Crown is embarassing, done by a cheap teenager artist with no respect for woman. But Halo's 4 just funny, and we should be proud of how they're getting better every year. (LOL)
