just because your critics are misogynist monkey-people who would never be allowed outside in a well run society does not make 1) you right or 2) their individual criticisms of you 100% invalid. if pua_god_420 says you are corrupt and nepotistic, and it happens to be true, then it's true even if he lives in a basement covered in naked lady/potleaf posters. anyways, anita sarkeesian is a pretty smart lady, since she's 100% grifter/scammer. she intentionally does her poo poo in the most inflammatory possible way and channels comments towards already festering misogynistic pits like 4chan, then highlights the response as a way of scaring up more money. she may even be smart enough to do a good job on her videos, but if so she doesn't bother trying because they are utter garbage. i totally respect her though, by playing two extremist sides off against each other she can ride to fame on the back of one and siphon huge amounts of money off from the other-- that's some top tier social engineering. the point of tropes vs women isn't to educate anyone, it's to make a group of vile shits so mad that they spew venom all over her so a group of almost-as-vile idiots feel bad for her and donate tons of money to her cause. if you donated to anita sarkeesian you got taken for a ride so congrats i guess. if her presentations were actually working to reduce or eliminate sexism in the industry she'd have to stop or scale them back since she relies on that sexism to write her paycheck. also gone home sucks really bad and if what you're interested in is a compelling narrative told through exploration then you should play the original marathon trilogy which did it much better literally 20 years earlier.

Slanderer posted:haha game stories loving SUCK nowadays. why can't they have GOOD STORIES, like super mario world??? To be fair Super Mario's backstory inspired an animated cartoon at one point featuring teen pop sensations Milli Vanilli, and an excellent feature film starring Dennis Hopper and Bob Hoskins. Until you can persuade Dennis Hopper to walk around a vaguely empty unremarkable 90's suburban house while he is haunted by a slightly depressed lesbian then Mario wins.

Slanderer posted:good thing it wasn't a mediocre puzzle game, then!!! This is my trigger. I will loving punch you in the mouth! Myst is a fantastic adventure game. The presentation, the story, the puzzles, all are loving brilliant. Myst is quite probably the first adventure game that didn't have asinine "COMBINE EVERYTHING WITH EVERYTHING ELSE!" puzzles, but instead logical well thought out puzzles you could actually solve without having to call the gamers helpline. Has there been any other adventure games that aren't hosed in the puzzle design department?
