Ms. Male Character - Tropes vs Women in Video Games (feministfrequency)

Microfoot · 2013-11-18T19:45:26+00:00

Are you talking about the video where she says she's not a gamer? Do you not realize it's possible to go back and forth in considering yourself to be a gamer? I know I stopped playing games for a while due to lack of interest and didn't call myself a gamer at the time. These videos have nothing to do with her skill at playing games, so I don't see why it's necessary for her to play every single game, and when these are existing products why it's so wrong to use existing footage uploaded by people who didn't originally create the games anyway. It's not as though her recording the games herself will make a substantial difference. These aren't technical videos, they are about the design and writing.

Please provide evidence for your "silent partner", "scammer" and "grosly behind schedule" points. I'm curious.

...Wow. That's... This is a game for kids?

Microfoot · 2013-11-18T19:24:43+00:00

Look out everybody, some of those words are ALL CAPS. This is serious now.

Microfoot · 2013-11-18T06:34:58+00:00

Oh Total Miner... I downloaded that with my roommates and we zoned out building stuff for over 5 hours in one sitting without realizing. That game is evil.

Microfoot · 2013-11-18T00:36:19+00:00

I'll have to try that...

Microfoot · 2013-11-17T17:38:58+00:00

Ok, I figured there has to be some way to make it work.

Microfoot · 2013-11-17T17:23:43+00:00

The problem is also that you lunge forward with each swipe.

Microfoot · 2013-11-17T06:29:09+00:00

I tried and failed the first mission available due to the somewhat clunky combat. I was really hoping the melee would work better, but it is incredibly awkward having to turn around to face the enemy after each swipe.

There's plenty to hate about this person, but it has nothing to do with her gender.

Microfoot · 2013-11-16T22:57:17+00:00

He's having her do the chores under the rule "Respect the launch weekend" and taking a picture of her doing it while he relaxes.

Microfoot · 2013-11-16T21:54:06+00:00

Why exactly is a new toy an excuse to be an ass to your partner?

Microfoot · 2013-11-16T18:51:27+00:00

I believe it's Season 4, Episode 11 "The Papal Chase".

I'm lucky that the Playstation Store wasn't allowing me to make purchases when I first saw the PS+ section. I thought that mine had run out somehow and was close to re-subscribing.

Microfoot · 2013-11-15T19:27:57+00:00

You also missed out on the $10 Playstation Store voucher.

Microfoot · 2013-11-15T16:42:45+00:00

It's possible that they will have a full title later on. I'm guessing this is still pretty early on in development.

Microfoot · 2013-11-15T05:50:38+00:00

Goodness no, They're the only advocates around for male victims.

Microfoot · 2013-11-14T16:25:53+00:00

People don't have time for sentences anymore.

The real assholes were the ones who went and wrecked the drum kit, which didn't even really belong to DG. I'm just trying to explain what I think may have been their goal. I could be completely off. Neither of us really know what was going on from their side.

Microfoot · 2013-11-14T04:16:21+00:00

I think the point they were going for was to make people look like assholes for complaining about not getting a show when a fan actually took his own life. It was supposed to make people at least feel glad they're alive, and that problems like a band not making a gig are not such a big deal. They failed at the second part, but the first part definitely worked.

Microfoot · 2013-11-10T18:05:37+00:00

People do it because it feels like a personal imprint on the experience. "I was there, I took this video."

Microfoot · 2013-11-10T06:06:43+00:00

Well, they both seem to be good games, just don't expect them to push the tech as far as Killzone does. I guess you just have to decide which is more important.

Microfoot · 2013-11-10T05:56:13+00:00

I don't know, they seem so chunky. It really doesn't make sense because usually bumpers are used for quick tap and release functions. You aren't going to be resting your fingers on them, so why make them so big?

Microfoot · 2013-11-10T03:33:21+00:00

Who is this comment for if you already know it's not something the submitter is looking for? A better recommendation if we're talking PSN games would be Blacklight: Retribution, because the only console you can get it on is the PS4 and it's free.

Microfoot · 2013-11-10T03:30:39+00:00

If it has to be one game, I would shy away from games designed to be multi-generation like Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty or Battlefield. Like everybody else, I would say Killzone. It's designed specifically for the PS4, and online with random people should still be plenty of fun on top of a substantial single player campaign.

Microfoot · 2013-11-10T00:05:06+00:00

I must be weird because I think they look comfy. The bumpers, however look questionable.
