Still better than android clock

The BFG version of Doom II is censored. The red cross on health replenishing items has been replaced with a red-and-white pill symbol, all textures containing swastikas in the secret levels referencing Castle Wolfenstein have been removed, the SS guards in those levels have been replaced with regular Zombiemen and some levels were renamed.

don't buy this. get original Doom 3 release and install Sikkmod, it's really well done and looks a million times better than BFG Edition which is busted as gently caress

to me, the most interesting thing about this whole zoe quinn/kotaku/whatever story is that despite all the concern trolls claiming they're protecting video games from the sjw scourge or whatever, i have yet to see anybody who actually makes video games take their side

like quiggs mentioned knowing it's a horror film kinda removes the impact it can have, the reason poo poo is scary is because it shouldn't be happening, the best way to make a horror game is have it be a normal game and marketed as such but then things just suddenly seem really off and gets spooky from there, same with a film

buttt you can't reasonably achieve that since marketing and all that, but if you could it would work well

like that game, i think it was called eversion? something like that, shame it was a little platformer thing, the idea was there though

i would disagree. high quality presentation allows for higher immersion that allows the user to suspend disbelief. but its definitely much harder to do with movies than it is with video james b/c of the lack of interaction w/ the movie.

something like the original avp when played as a marine can have legitimate tension because of its good use of sound + lighting effects. whereas something like doom3 can make you laugh when you see the obvious monster closets.

it's a good video but it could be a great one if it were about 5 minutes shorter and didn't include marginal examples

personally i hope she keeps making them until a big name game person says "ok gently caress enough already" and makes some public announcement decrying the practice of using women as props and fucktoys in media

who is a bad enough dude to say "if you're actively protesting the absence of women in their underwear being nailed to the wall for your own sexual amusement then maybe i don't want you buying my games"

there is a point to watching them. the most recent one had a few angles/examples that i didn't realize i was unthinkingly "ok" with until someone actually put what was wrong with them into words. there were a few examples from games i've never played that were very wtf (no more heroes...2?)
