Dragon Age: Inquisition
I plan on staying away from the tactical combat and just hacking and slashing my way through the story.

Dragon Age: Inquisition
Might be your hardware throttling due to heat. Yeah. I think I've finally hit the wall, I had trouble with AC: Black Flag too. Time to either enjoy some older games or man up and buy a new system. Or I could buy it for the PS4. Which I own. But that sounds like defeat talking. And I don't want to pay twice for it. Hurlshot, what are your system stats for the Laptop? I'm not at home, so I can't reel them off exactly, but I have an ASUS laptop from 2010 with 8 gigs of RAM and the Nvidia GTX 460M. I think it is an i7 chipset but I can't remember off the top of my head. I think I am having problems with heat, after some more investigation. Framerates are dropping off in other games over time.

It's become fairly obvious that Qistana does not have the game and is only here to complain about it. Don't be concerned with credibility, keep fighting the good fight! edit: It would be worse if she did own it, because her mind was already made up before she bought the game. edit 2: I think she's actually a bot.

NFL 2014 Season
It was pretty great watching everyone celebrate like they just won the Superbowl. They hadn't won at home in a year!

I am getting a weird drop in framerate. I play nicely for a couple minutes, and then it gets super laggy. Settings don't seem to matter.

Journalism and sexism in the games industry
Well that's kind of a root problem here. Are these entertainers or are they journalists? Personally, I haven't considered the gaming media journalists since the early days of Computer Gaming World. They are entertainment rags, closer to US Weekly than any reputable news organization. That's why I find this entire movement mindboggling. Wait, so what you're saying is that it's stupid to ask for reform because these sites are just clearly sensationalist rags? I'd say it's all the more reason to ask for reform because these sites are sensationalist rags. You argument basically boils down to this thing is broken, you people are being silly trying to fix it. I'm saying that the entire industry is sophomoric, from the consumers to the developers, so expecting the media to be less than that is unrealistic. Look, I love games, and I get that they are a big business. But at the end of the day, they are still video games. There are so many other things in this world I'd rather see us getting serious about. Edit: The movie industry is the exact same way, btw. Those awards shows are ridiculous.

Journalism and sexism in the games industry
Plenty of people must consider them worth something, while IGN and their like is usually mocked you find people have respect for RPS or Polygon (with that weirdo prick Kuchera) or other sites that aspire to..uh..analysis of games and what not. That and these people are fun to abuse as they always bite. Plenty of people consider reality shows and trashy celebrity mags worth something as well. I'm just saying that maybe some of these expectations are a bit unrealistic. Video game journalism is always going to suffer from the fact that it is about video games, so expecting some high brow journalistic integrity is puzzling to me.

PC. It's not going great, I'll be honest with you. I kind of wish I bought it on my PS4. It's just not performing well. My laptop is getting upt here in age, but I'm still a bit surprised.

I think you're making a big deal out of nothing. Bioware is coming across as tolerant of the LGBT community in their writing? *gasp* They have consistently pushed a socially progressive agenda, it's not new. If it bothers you, there are plenty of games out there that avoid social issues.

This is also why they generally tend not to offer any meaningful insight into what the wider populace thinks. I mean, you can certainly ascertain what the subgroup of "people who have access to Internet, have time to and like to fill out internet polls, and are aware of the poll in question" think, but these selection criteria are not guaranteed to grant you a representative sample. Gee, it's like you people have never heard of selection bias. What this poll tells you is that a lot of people are fed up with SJW's and radical feminists. a big backlash is happening. Polls like that are not proper scientific polls, yes. So what? It's a poll specifically for people who come to that site. In theory, it's representative of THAT. If you already now that, then why censor? What poll are you talking about? How many people took the poll?

I was getting some really creepy looking lego head hair thing in my game. I also don't like the performance, but I think my laptop is dying, because I was having trouble with some other games recently. It could be a few things, I'm not sure if I want to do a small upgrade to see if I can keep it alive, or just buy a new machine. It is 3 years old and was refurbished when I bought it.
