While she's at it someone should tell the bitch to add "crpg fans". Everyone else seems to be included.

Cool. It's like the codex only we're missing feminists and have nazis instead :D

Relationships/sexuality in video games always feel forced and stupid and never really add anything significant to the game play.

Exactly my point. Any relationship/sexytime in games is always lame and contrived in the first place. This political correctness nonsense that you have to cater to every taste/religion/fetish is just making it more and more absurd. Now you have to provide buttsex, blue aliensex, covered-facesex, lesbiansex, "tasteful" rapesex etc etc.

People spend so much time worrying about what is meant as a small and insignificant distraction in the game that they completely forget it's supposed to be an RPG and not a dating sim where you LARP all of your furfag fantasies. I'm seriously beginning to think that when Skyrim comes out, there will be mods that let you "romance" the dragons. That's if it's not included in the base game already.

Don't think so. Relationship or/and sexuality are the same part of character as STR, DEX or WIL. Or should be/could be.

But...

It is not a part of system or “too much sex/romance thingy”, it is just a case of overcrowded and too small game world, destroying illusion of “harsh post war environment, where every drop of pure water, every bit of women, every chunk of man counts”.

That site is a comedy goldmine of feminism and leftard shenanigans. I wonder if some Codexers post there, as a great deal of the posters are "transsexual women".

The comments are even more hilarious.

I'm looking for my father. S&M submissive with a ball gag and assless chaps. Have you seen him?

Well, in New Vegas, at least homosexuality is a perk.

Whitewashing Dragon Age

People having issues because Hawke is white in the demo. That article made me LOL because the funny factor is compounded by Mike Laidlaw usual retardation quoted within the article:

Mike Laidlaw said:
“We saw a lot of people disengaging at hour one, hour two [...] You get to an RPG and fire it up, and it hits you in the face with a thousand stats. Those stats are very cool, but you may not be mentally or emotionally prepared to deal with them as your first thing to do in the game.
Plus, the writer's mad about the whithewashing of DA because in the demo, Hawke was white and you could'n change his/her skin color:

Gamer womyn said:
And, apparently, the way people perceive the Hero of Kirkwall is as a white man or white woman, regardless of their actual ethnicity. Granted, this could make for a very interesting plot device should BioWare wish to use Dragon Age 2 to challenge this assumption in game, but unfortunately the demo makes no sign of doing anything of the sort.

[...]

Why choose to present a legendary version of the main character, and their entire family as potentially whitewashed versions of themselves, without challenging or questioning it? Will this depiction of the Caucasian Hawke of legend appear in the full version of the game?

And the comments. Someone is angry because female Sheppard sits like a man:

Jessica Merizan said:
I don’t want to play a game where I am a woman, but the only difference in the overall game is my features are softer and my chest is bigger. We shouldn’t settle for that. Yes, it’s amusing that female Shepard sits like a man and dances like an idiot, but it’s also an insult that someone couldn’t give her unique animations. My Shepard isn’t just a man with better voice acting.

Hawke ethnicity... Serious Business.

There's nothing inherently wrong with having your character be in a relationship, the problem with romances is the awkward teenage-level minigame-conversations that sometimes end with terribly animated sex, and the fancreeps who demand that.

oh good lord, that fucking argument
pyrofennec said:
yeah the ethnicity of Altair and Ezio sure stopped lots of people from picking up AssCreed/AssCreed 2, and the presence of a black space marine in DOW2: Chaos Rising certainly poured cold water on its sales figures, so much so it killed the franchise and stopped the devs from making sequels/xpacks
pyrofennec said:
they could try fixing that by making their beginnings not, you know, soul-crushingly boring

or improving their soul-crushingly terrible writing, but what do I know
pyrofennec said:
Bioware mods are useless, spineless shits; film at eleven.
pyrofennec said:
the funny thing is Bioware did okay with both ME2 and the now-ancient KotOR: in KotOR, Revan was, of course, masked in every cutscene (until the reveal) and ME2′s Shepard wears a helmet in the opening sequence

Bioware: not just an animal that doesn’t learn, but also animal that forgets.

:lol: OK, Which of you posted that? My bet is on Skyway or Dicksmoker.

Don't be soo jealous... Besides, I see “sex/relationships thingy” as deus ex machina of quests/possible C&C bits/etc. Today somewhat flawed implementation, doesn't mean whole thingy is bad... thingy.

Ps. Of course, if you find those “homo/feminism/bike-riders/masons/they stole our women/socialist” motives offworldy offending at all, then even solid game mechanism doesn't convince you, because of very political/view of life reasons... but then, don't like communism, why bother to read collected works of L.E.M...

Ps2. Complex story, complex world/characters=disagreement about game world metaphysics, about "how things should works", "how people should thinks" - that kind of banal crap.

Ps3. Theoretically speaking, waiting for godot/future games.

I am seriously pissed off that Terminator was depicted as a white hetero asexual male. I would have preferred an asian-african lesbian transsexual that would be running after Sarah Connor with a test tube of artificial sperm and a giant double-headed dong.

Yeah, that would be a good movie, not like the male-centric shit with Schwarzennegger.

If you will be asian asian-african lesbian transsexual, you will'be seriously pissed if Terminator will be depicted as a white hetero asexual male... Where lies a difference?

Ps. Hint, hint... Terminator will be „terminator” no matter who is he/she/it/wearing bra, because his terminatornesses is defined somewhere else...

Ps2. Erm...

Ps3. Seriously, he was a male...? Cyborg, like angles, don't have a sex...?

Ps4. Yes, I saw "Hardware" (a great movie).

Ps5. ... and Terminator 3 (not so good movie).

Their implementation is usually several magnitudes worse than the rest of the game. With the general shitty RPG standards, that means they will inevitably send the overall quality of the game crashing down.

Ps.

I don't find them offworldly offending. I find glimpses into alien, inferior cultures quite fascinating actually.

Ps2. Complex story, complex world/characters=disagreement about game world metaphysics, about "how things should works", "how people should thinks" - that kind of banal crap.

Ps3. Theoretically speaking, waiting for godot/future games.

Oh fuck, prosper alt. I got taken in hook like and sinker.
