"I think there is a place for casual mode in gaming. Some people who once played computer games to excess now have much less free time because of a career, never-ending home repair, car problems, supporting a family, &c. They probably want to experience an enjoyable visual adventure without all the time-consuming grinding."

 

All, I read when I see this is a lot of crying and ignorance. People like that don't want to play games they want to pretend to play games. 'Casual mode' is 'stupid mode'.  How cna you claim to be someone who likes to PLAY games when you want the games so 'casual'/'dumbed down' that it basically plays itself? That's beyond illogical.

She's not.  I believe I remember reading you rescue her at some point in the game (Why is an assassin rescuing a templar?  Are they going to do a Romeo & Juliet type deal?), because teh wimmins always be needin' rescuing.  :shifty:

I doubt she's half as badass and awesome as Pippi Långstrump.

 

Speaking of which, why hasn't Pippi been rebooted/remade (in the states, at least)?  Tons of much ****tier children's characters are rebooted/remade all the time, isn't it time for a new Pippi tv series/movie?  Pippi is the freakin' best.

Except he doesn't want people to criticize artciles from them. That's silly talk. If you make a you tube video you are gonna get all sorts of visitors. FF is not unique in its intake of trolls. Has he even gone on utube? Almost every video uploaded has people literlaly bashing the person who made it. It's not unique. That's the way people are period. It's not a 'gamer' or 'anti gamer' issue. It's not a male or female issue'. It's a person issue. PERIOD.

There is wisdom in Gaider's words, but as you say his head is up his fundament about the state of games 'journalism' where the paucity of diversity of opinion is startling. That is to say 99.9% of the gaming sites have taken the easy PC position.

to be honest, in my eyes Gaider comes off as a very immature person. the problem is way deeper than he makes it look, and Sarkesian is also a part of that problem, which he goes on to completely ignore. maybe I'm reading too much into it, but he makes it sound as though the fact that Sarkesian identifies herself as a feminist absolves her of all guilt before other feminists

I think what he's saying is that Anita is easily ignored. Then he balances that out with acknowledging she might use her gender as a blunt instrument.

 

Personally I think Anita can say what she likes. I think she might have a point in there, somewhere, if she wanted to find it without coming across as the new Joan of Arc of gaming. I find cultural critics / pop-sociologists of every political stripe fairly ludicrous, but the treatment she's received on the internet disgusts me.

 

I'd be interested in what Dave Gaider thinks about the uniformity of opinion in the gaming press and how their views don't mirror those of many, many gamers. And how the right-on mafia would probably snark any news site with a differing view out of existence.

Anita would likely be a complete unknown if a handful of a-holes hadn't decided to go after her when her Kickstarter launched. Maybe I'm wrong, but I only heard about her because of the abuse that she received back then. The haters made Sarkeesian what she is.

Gaider fled the Biobeards but still occasionally took potshots at the people buying his games from Twitter and tumblr. That disappointed me.

He's like a modern day Ambrose Bierce. The amusing thing is, when I've quoted from A. Bierce in the past, I was accused of being sexist. Ah, the heady days of PC intolerance... :p
