@PlaceOfEagles That birth control thing better had been a fucking joke where none of them were serious.
Seeing as how I pride myself on being as unbiased as a human can possibly be, I do have to point out this post paints you as a hypocrite or at the very least contradictory. You go off on all these rants about how you’re upset the big publishers/developers especially Capcom cater to the masses and the type of game they want/what they think will be popular, not what you want (unless Bayonetta 2 starts selling CoD numbers) you wish the type of games you like which you admit put you in the minority would be represented more and now you make fun of the minority group of women for wanting more representation.
This isn’t an insult, I’m just pointing out a glaring contradiction in your thought process.
@angelpalm…I guess you’ve never been in the smash thread well cliff notes version is he spammed that thread for months saying how what SRK’ers think about smash is irrelevant and that we have no say over what rulset the smash community does and basically just being a super fucking condescending hipster sucking off smashboards forums and swallowing gleefully so really no one on SRK wants him around lol.
@PlaceOfEagles please don’t ruin this thread with your feminism bullshit, this is the gaming journalism thread not armchair gossip, seriously stay out of this thread unless you’re here to talk about the fucking topic and not use it as a springboard for your issues with women.
Can any of you name a single game journalist who’s articles you enjoy reading? Just curious.
I don’t read gaming journalism lol…i’d rather listen to guys on srk as biased as they are atleast they aren’t getting payed to hype shit up…well except for @sonicbid…fuck that guy.
@orochizoolander
If your going to make accusations against me I’m going to respond. You made the claim that some "female hate"was going and just now accused me of having issues with women. I asked you how "female hate"was going on in this thread when the only thing people have been doing is explaining why games market mainly to men. I’d also like you to point out examples of me having issues with women when I’ve only been criticizing people like Zoe and Anita…are you seriously going to suggest that these 2 people are a proxy for all women and that by hating them I’m essentially hating all women.
In fairness to po he’s actually fairly clear about the games he likes or at least what he qualifies as a good game. The last few pages in this thread have all been asking"what do women want from a game"and to date no one has answered. It’s therefore a faulty comparison because at least we know what po would want from a game but the same can’t be said for women. This is what happens when you don’t pay attention to the discussion and just talk for the sake of taking.
Before he was laid off by GameSpot, I always read Maxwell McGee’s stuff. His articles were always interesting. I had hoped that SRK would pick him up.
Giant Bomb’s Patrick Klepek writes some good stuff too.
SRK paying a known journalist? That would be the day.
SRK wouldn’t even pay me and I’m am actual journalist!
Hey, Cannon bros. Where’s my beer money?
Well, whatever the case, having Max on board would be a huge asset, IMO.
That’s the thing, games don’t have proper critics. You don’t get the Blooms or the Eberts at all.
Y’know what SRK gonna go nuts but Sarkeesian’s about the closest you get: she’s explored one particular topic within games across a long series. The next best thing is maybe like… Sequelitis
There’s a few diamonds in the rough, like that dude that did classic games. Hopefully some day it will revert back to people actually giving a shit about the games, but I think for now everyone will have to deal with this shit for a while. It’s only going to get worse before it gets good, like with a lot of things.
Samus was a strong female protagonist. Now she isn’t. There’s no debate here.
I also never said men were objectified as females. You’re just making shit up, which is an ambitious endeavor given the fact that all my writing is right here on display.
And are you really denying that men love to see other men’s buff, glistening pecks and throbbing biceps? Are you really just trying to block out every form of media from art of ancient times (which predominantly featured buff, naked men) all the way to modern times (where you grew up on He-Man and now watch buff, near-naked men roll all over each other wearing nothing but speedos in the WWE)?
This dude really coming out of the closet today. Congrats on your bravery homoerectus
Samus is still badassI Other M doesn’t mean a thing IMO. I never said you said men was sexualised. I simply called out your response to it when the point was brought up. I don’t make shit up. And speak for yourself dude. I don’t care to see a man’s body. Also I’m a 90’s kid. And I don’t watch WWE
A video game character that is badass…just not in the game they appear in. Ok. That makes sense.
You said:
Are you seriously claiming that men are equally objectified in video games? If so, I’ve been giving you far too much credit and shouldn’t have ever bothered replying to you in the first place.
Edit: Then again, you label yourself a “90s kid” (which probably means you were born in 1989, and aren’t actually a 90s kid) so yeah, I’m just going to start actively ignoring you.
Spider-Dan in Gamepro…what, I still have a couple that I browse through. Did you know that FF3 is coming out for SNES? FUCK YEAH!
@spudlyff8fan Samus overall is still a badass. If you feel other M completely makes the Samus before other M irrelevant. Well agree to disagree. “You said: Your response to men being objectied as much as females in game was just bullshit.” Exactly! Your response to that point that was brought up by Gomu is what I’m talking about. Never claimed you brought up men being sexualised. What part of that you don’t get?
And yes Men are just as sexualised just in a different way. Women have a femine appeal ( large breast and ass, curves etc ) while guys have a masculine appeal ( musscle, abs etc ) But no one gives a fuck because they’re guys. It’s only a issue when a woman’s body is put on display.
And yes I’m a 90’s kid. Born in 1991. What basis you have for assuming I may have been born in 89. I’ll never know. And now you’re gonna try to dismiss my points and write me off as a idiot? LOL GTFO, whatever dude.
I read this 20 minutes ago and I’m still laughing.
You know it’s true!
Didn’t they consider Other M canon? I mean there’s the whole “Fusion making Other M non-canon and vice versa” but if we’re gonna consider that to fit into the main storyline
They do consider Other M canon last I knew. They completely tossed Prime out, though.
