BruceVC Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Hoo boy, this thread is heading down this path YET AGAIN. *sigh* Allow me to leave this here and unsubscribe for at least a day while this runs its course. Every thread must be dragged down. Maybe we should make a segregated forum for those posters? That's one thing that is a constant on these forums Gfted1, I know I can always rely on your support around issues of social justice. I would say you are probably your most vocal when it comes to the objectification of women in games and how female gamers feel they are victims of verbal abuse . But you are supportive on almost all issues around SJ we discuss "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Okay, how does someone using (photoshopping?) the botched restoration of Ecce Homo reflect on the art style of the game since, as near as I can tell, the game isn't using Ecce Homo in the game or Cecilia Giménez on their art team? 1 I cannot - yet I must.

You don't have to of course, this is just me talking to you without my mod hat on, but it would be considerate to other posters and I know you live and breathe for that. I appreciate you giving your personal opinion on topics, I have often defended the fact that I like the way the Mods on this forum get involved in discussions but obviously if you have to do your job as a Mod you do it. And I know you don't take my criticism of some of your comments personally, I know I don't when you criticize me A couple of points in response. The last serious discussion we had on SJ issues was probably 2 weeks ago in the female gamers thread. And this thread was closed down which I feel was a mistake. So its a gross exaggeration to say " every discussion gets dragged down by SJ issues" This is simply hyperbole and not true Also I'm sure you noticed I'm not the only one who enjoys discussion on SJ issues. There are several people who chose to comment on this particular issue. I am sorry Keyrock has been inconvenienced by our discussion but once again these discussion are not frequent, people just think they I think its an excellent idea to start a dedicated thread on SJ issues, I was going to start one but I was just waiting for a worthwhile topic Finally in respect to this particular debate I only raised the issue of the Watch Dogs video because Malc posted a Kotaku link. I did not start the discussion but surely you can't expect people to not comment when someone posts an interesting or controversial link? I thought that was the purpose of a forum?

Sheesh, I just don't like the soldier avatars, that's all. Okay, I honestly couldn't tell if you were joking, or if you'd been misled about the artstyle of the portraits (which seem to match the character looks on the inventory screen) by a photoshoping job so erred on the side of seriousness. Understanding that it was a joke, I say "ha-ha!". I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet?

I'm pretty sure no one foresaw such a gigantic success. I'm actually glad, WD is a good IP and a new one. I'd very much like to see a sequel(and just a sequel) that does the game justice by not making the same mistakes. If Ubisoft Montreal record is anything to go by, they can pull it off. I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoraptor Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Alleged Prey 2 concept documents were leaked last week, with it being basically a rebadged System Shock 3, by Arkane. Still some question as to whether they're actually making it, though it seems likely. Which is kind of ironic, as Arkane were working on an actual System Shock 3 (obligatory concept art link) for EA that got canned in 2008- unsurprisingly, as SS3 would be seen as far too similar to Dead Space, which already had some pretty blatant similarities to System Shock 2, eg the hydroponics in DS is very similar to the original concept of hydroponics in SS2.

ManifestedISO Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I'm on a high after this comic book thing turned out so well, so I want to see if something else I've never done is equally fun ... like a video game completely voiced in a different language.
