video highlights just how graphic violence gets a free pass in loving everything and are p grotesque and disturbing, i hadn't seen half of these and almost all of them seem way too graphic you couldn't get away with this poo poo in any other medium jfc add to it the violence portrayed as being done to other virtual human beings and it kinda makes me wonder about people who don't see any of it, and then defend it and make death threats

like is it so bad to acknowledge that that poo poo is raw and perhaps over done. also lol at watch dogs requiring that you let an assault happen to succeed in a mission holy gently caress what a terrible game

i have no idea what that is but i am excited for the new dlc, which are words i never thought a human being would say. the 10 bucks i paid for the last dlc was worth every penny and i have a blast getting owned in it. felt great beating that trio yesterday finally.

she's right

she's also looking too hard for examples of it in a medium where that kind of effort really isn't necessary. using examples that don't really fit doesn't invalidate her point but it dilutes her message a bit

i agree that she tries too hard to make her examples fit her argument. regardless, it needs to stop and i'm glad someone is working hard to draw mainstream attention to it.

lol where was this outrage when ubisoft gave away tablets to reviewers w/ watch_dogs? or any of the times where reviewers are buddies w/ the people they cover? or the loads of free stuff, food, beer, etc that's given out at e3 and pax and stuff?

oh wait none of those involves harassing a woman on the internet
