Wouldn’t count on that. She’ll say that she’s too hyper-sexualized and that she’s a male fantasy.
Least she wont be claiming Bayonetta’s a mother this time 
Can joy be more ‘adult’ than violence?
I do wish the general public gaming crowd of all ages would embraced this kind of thinking.
Come to think of it, I’d love to see Nintendo convert existing popular gaming genres into more interesting games. They’ve already done it with Smash Bros, Pikmin, and Mario Kart; just do that with more games without relying completely on existing IPs (Splatoon is a great start).
Sony and Nintendo are beating out MS in terms of diversifying their first-party gaming portfolio. MS does try ofc, but only in a few instances of actually succeeding.
I’ve never been into games that are hyper-violent just to be hyper-violent. I needs my shinyness and my color and my characters who can be positive every once in a while.
I dont mind violence or none of that. But I don’t like that “You gotta be mature and play God of War and rated m shit” Because lets face it violence is in most games rather its mortal kombat violence or lighthearted violence. But using grittiness as a gauge of being an adult is like wtf. There are some cases where obviously stuff like violence, sex and etc is handled in a way that obviously only a teen or older will understand in any medium.
But when shit happens like this dude at my college saying that if you are grown you shouldn’t be playing Nintendo and need to play rated m games then its like wtf. The nigga literally said something like that
Even though Bayonetta is the top “Strong independent woman who dont need no man” in video games. She handles her shit and flaunts her looks for fun.
Anyway, I bought Watch Dogs today and this game isn’t any fun at all. Im playing it right now because I own it and am trying to trudge through it to the end. Not because it’s enthralling to play. I honestly don’t even know if I’ll finish it. It might just land on the Gamestop counter with the receipt from earlier.
Driving is shit. All the cars handle the same, but some go faster.
Overall movement is slow as molasses. A stealth element is implied, but you cannot crouch freely. Only take cover.
The reload button is clicking the left stick. Fucking what?
These load screens are Sonic 06 tier.
Aiden expositions the shit out of you constantly.
And Im 2 hours in at best.
I am also thoroughly disappointed with Watch Dogs for all the same reasons you already cited.
Fans of M rated games are not always mature. Sometimes the dribble of The M Rated only crowd proves that they are just as more immature than the games they try to bash.
The problem is that maturity is conflated with violence when in fact the 2 don’t always have to be related. I think it’s possible to explore themes we typically see associated with younger audiences but in more sophisticated ways. This is the reason I think cartoons were the best during the 90s…clearly it was intended for young boys but they weren’t afraid to explore certain ideas and concepts in a way that didn’t talk down or insult the viewer.
I’d prefer more games in the vein of majoras mask or FF6 as opposed to games that try way too hard to be "adult"and “mature.”

Also Mighty No.9 may be getting an animated series
Inafune was doing a panel at Anime Expo and announced it.
Get shitted on, Capcom.
The spirit of Mega Man lives on without your fuckery.
Dunununuhh super fighting robot extreme battling cyborg…Number 9!
I am all over this if it’s true. It’s a little early to announce an anime though. I mean, the game’s not out yet. o.o
I’m guessing it’s going to give the characters a backstory? It could take place before or during the game’s story.
Yep, a great animated tie in can do wonders for sales. See: Yokai Watch.
So what you’re telling me is that the “new console phase” works well for publishers? Because that’s crazy as hell…
There’s a limited selection of games to test-out the new shiny console you got, you purchase them anyways to build a collection for it, and it turns out it’s not that great of a game in the first place.
It’s not just Watch Dogs, but it surprises me how many people talk positively about Ryse and how good it looks despite the fact it’s not really doing anything you couldn’t do on the 360. It’s like the Stockholm syndrome of new consoles, you’re lowering standards to levels you would’ve likely never accepted in the PS3/360’s later years. Maybe people love reliving 2006/2007 again I guess…
Don’t go in hoping to find the good next-gen (I’ll say current when they’re out of that starter phase) games, wait and let the good next-gen games come to you.

No Man’s sky
Coletrain will be returning for next Gears
WOOOOO!!
Cliffy B also has founded a new studio with Guerrilla Games ex cofounder.
Cliffy has been pretty adamant about not returning to disc based games and seems to imply he’s going to be doing strictly PC stuff.
Jokes on Ubisoft. I didn’t spend $400 to play this shit. Rocking last gen. Anyway after a bit more time, this game won’t stay on my shelf. The missions are fun, but anything aside from the missions are tedious. I still have an issue with how unentertaining it is to traverse the world. Parkour is just a slow assassins creed. Shit Splinter Cell did it better and Fisher is running up on 50 years with the quickness.
Hacking skills are the only fun thing. It kinda gives the game a bit of a Batman feel fucking with enemies when they can’t see you.
Hmm, I know it’s a backtrack, but it’s ironic that AA:Justice For All has been mentioned recently considering where AAI2 is going…
I doubt Cliffy’s new business plans will work out. And from the article Cliffy missed the entire point of E3.
E3 is no a convention for normal people, it is a trade show for retail, industry and the media to attend. Your Job at E3 is to convince Target and Wal-mart to carry your products.
