Well they're comic book characters in a comic book fighting game. That's why I think less raised an eyebrow
That's a totally fair criticism, and I actually agree with you.
We are still waiting for bens titan costume. I was hoping we would finally get to see it for Halloween.
Ben committed to wearing the costume whenever they stream the PS4 version of Dragon's Crown, so I don't think it'll happen before that game is out.
Hi there and welcome! Also a bit late but equally warm welcome to Otoshigami! Let's have some fun shall we.
Yuup. I know nothing about this specific game, but I wonder the same thing very often in other instances. See it on forum discussions too. And it bothers me just as much then.
"...but I'm getting by without them, and I guess that's kinda sad."
Getting by without them and I guess that's kinda sad.
His design is too modern for SoulCalibur. I think his outfit fits Tekken, his moves are on par with the more absurd rage arts (which I guess is a bit too much for regular attacks).
The sexual harassment claim was from a man yes, a former employee. A woman reporter also chimed in and told that she got a sexist comment from a worker when visiting.
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/gamesblog/2012/jun/20/the-last-of-us-violence As the article mentions even legendary Warren Spector was criticizing video game violence at the time. Though his comments weren't directly Last of Us related but overall.
So no, this is not just a 2017 thing. Last of Us was there to spark this discussion before too. Apparently you just didn't take part in it at the time.
Cheers. I absolutely agree with many of the points Anita brings up in the video, especially in regards to the difference between how violence against men and women is generally portrayed in games. The Hitman posters were particularly shocking. I'm also all for more games with female leads tackling these issues from a different perspective, or straying from those types of tropes altogether.
Yeah the first one was violent (hence the discussions at the time) and this seems to be also. Personally I didn't mind the violence, but the trailer did nothing good for me either. But I do acknowledge that it was really brutal. And I think that it's realism adds to why it's so unsettling to many. It wasn't over the top action scene with quick cuts or anything. And it wasn't a combat situation at first but torture. These are some of the reasons I could think of why it might made some people uncomfortable. Though violence should be uncomfortable. Even Spector said this and I agree. I don't need the point to be gore, but when violence happens it needs to be real. Because it's not cool in real life. And I've actually worried about how people perceive and accept violence in the real life, while browsing these/old forums even. As a teen in junior high I passed out at school when we had a lecture about violence and it's consequences. I don't know if it was just because of the graphic images shown on the auditorium screen about serious injuries from physical assaults, but I do believe that it was effective.
Given how often EA keeps changing their tune it might be for the best. Who knows what state the game will be in by Tues!
