This is the death of PC gaming. We could've stopped it. Our standards have become so low that we rate indie games that look like they've been made in an hour 1010. Stop for a second and think about the future of video games, please.

terrible waste of money that is funny for around 10 minutes and then you run out of things to do, they charge £10 for something that should be free.

This sort of game is ruining the industry and should be discouraged

That sounds like an old flash game I played years ago. I remember you were supposed to avoid being mutated, but it was more fun to see what kind of shambling mutated abomination you could get before your character went insane from having their flesh warped beyond all recognition.

In retrospect, that was probably a porn game too.

James and the people involved with miner bumping are awesome. It's worth reading the blog from time to time.

Anyway RPS did a piece on Diablo 3 prohibiting the use of "Trans" in a clan title. http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2014/04/07/blizzard-trans-diablo-iii-clan-names/

Some quotes from the thread where a player asked why this isn't allowed. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/12371697365

quote:

The women in the army are "up in arms" about discriminatory hair cut restrictions. Know what you do to fix that? Buzz cuts for everyone, no exceptions.

Apply that logic to this situations and only give people 7 letters to choose from, R S T L N E and Y

quote:

id like to point out on this same note... why is it we have a blacksmith and no whitesmith? sounds pretty racist to me. ( World of Warcraft has a race called worgen. spell it backwards and you get negrow. anyone else find this racist also? keep in mind that the race has been around for a while now.)

all this post has done, in reality, is force blizzards hand to ban the "gaymers" clan name and anger everyone who is a member of said clan. look we get it your not happy because you could not make a clan name you wanted. its enough to disgruntle anyone, but why so petty bro? I did not realize this game was all about YOU and YOUR needs. The game developers have a reason for doing things they way they do. maybe Activision has an issue with some words and not others? all makes sense to me.

on a non rant note basically if you don't like certain things either avoid/ignore it or the door is that way bro ----->

Goat Simulator is the best thing since sliced bread, but Gone Home is really terrible and so are those pseudo-AAA titles that repeat themselves annually. I mean, the first couple AssCreed games were fun I guess, but they really needed to stop after Revelations.

But basically my point is that running around doing stupid poo poo as a Goat is the epitome of what Video Games should be and seeing people get mad at that is hilarious. :shrug:

Here's an oldie and a baddie from Games Radar dot com.
Are video games really sexist?




Men invented literary misogyny because they told stories after the hunt, while their poor, put-upon broodmares slaved away in the kitchen. Someone literally believes this.




I actually agree with the bolded part. More women should aspire to be tough, competent and, most of all, silent like the Portal broad.



quote:

Female characters tend to be naught but bulging bundles of hyper-sexualised cliché, but most male video game characters are no less stereotyped. Where video game women are ultra-exaggerated reworkings of the hoary old breeder/sexy reward archetype, male characters are still the primeval hunter/gatherer type. Just with massive guns. It’s all arm-cripplingly ripped biceps, necks too muscley to turn, emotion dials stuck on “aggressive grimace” and a 50% lack of chest coverings.

quote:

And lets not forget the leaps and bounds made by Naughty Dog, its Uncharted series having finally managed to blend blockbuster action games with a likeable and believable cast.

Nothing more believable and cliche-defying as a guy who murders literally thousands of people while yelling at the top of his lungs because a terrorist killed his best friend. Keep leaping those bounds, Naughty Dog!


Fortunately, the comments section consists mostly of reasonable objections and even-handed discourse, but there's always that one chick who can't help but open her yap:

quote:

DriveShaft - January 19, 2010 9:32 p.m.
I'm a girl gamer, and I can't tell you how refreshing it was to play Uncharted for the first time, and notice Elena wasn't stacked, it's a glimmer of hope, but then just take a look at Lara Craft, Ashley Graham or pretty much and JRPG woman and it shows what the male developers were really focused on x]

The woman's body was found shortly afterward at the family's Osage home shortly after the phone call. Police say her body had multiple bullet wounds and she was naked from the waist down.

Gee, it's almost like removing the rules about shitposting causes shitposting. Who would have expected.


This is sort of paraphrasing because the thread has sense been locked, but the SWTOR official forums recently (yesterday, because the moderators don't get on on weekends) had a post by a very notorious PVPer who has been banned from the forums on 20+ accounts about how it's unfair.

quote:

Most of you probably know me. You know how unjustly I've been treated because of stupid babies on these forums. I was one of the original players here, and have been subbed since the game came out! I'm probably the best player in the game right now! And yet bioware is intentionally targetting me and removing my ability to discuss. Multiple times I've had to make accounts to get on the forums, even so far as spoofing my IP.

This is unfair treatment! Bioware is mad because I criticize their game from a position that only someone as good as me can! Look at all the good players who were class representatives last year! Four of them have quit or been banned. Bioware hates people who know their game better than them, and are taking away their right to speak.

Due to this, I've filed a complaint with the better business bureau over this treatment! I have paid thousands of dollars into this game, and they're stealing my rights by taking my ability to speak on the forum. You can't just take someone's right to something they purchased, especially not their right to speak! We have freedom of speech for a reason, and that reason is so facists like Bioware can't get away with what they want!


The entire first three pages were people telling him he was a racist jerk, and that's why he got banned. His response? Clearly it would be to be level headed and argue otherwise

quote:

gently caress you motherfucking jew faggots who don't even know how to play the game. I've put more money into this game than all of you combined, you're all worthless leaches who no one needs, I bet you don't even PVP you loving jews. Come talk poo poo to my face you friend of the family fucks, you don't even know me! Bioware's facist fucks and are taking your rights and ruining this game I put money into and you're just nodding along you stupid sheep jews.

You'll not be laughing when the government shuts down bioware for stealing products from their buyers.



The thread was finally closed and hidden at 9am today, and the poster rebanned from the forums.


MMOs are serious business, guys.

Edit: Note, he wasn't even banned from the game. He was literally just banned from using the forums for misconduct. Bioware explicitly does not ban from the game over things said/done over the forums, unless you're handing out hack tools or advertising a gold selling site.

Has SA ever had someone explode that bad over being banned? Besides that guy earlier this year who wanted to kill Lowtax and/or the president.

Playing a lot of free games, there are a lot of crazies who think they earn the right to be terrible people by spending money. Even phone games (Pocket Knights) have big whales who spend thousands of dollars a month who openly threaten to kill people over the general chat channel.
