I'm going to be completely serious for a moment: the fact that all these people, over all these sites, have actually turned the very concept of being nice and inclusive into a tool to insult and dehumanize people who have different beliefs than them is insanely, brutally cool.

/v/ pretty much collectively came to the conclusion a couple days ago that if Zoe donated, they wouldn't care.

It's kinda weird. /v/ as a whole is more or less totally past Zoe and is completely zeroed in on the journos. They really wanna go after them, as opposed to this thread, which is focusing more on Zoe 'cause that's where the is.

Judging by all the links I've seen to the "journalists" writing articles about how gamers are an endangered species and putting up notices that they are now She-Ra Misogynist Haters Clubs, the :lol:

may yet lay with their increasing idiocy.

Rad Tad posted:

Because they felt that that there was an increasing trend of the hated gamer tweets they were seeing coming from people with anime avatars. Guess it's time to show those misogynists.

So basically because they dumb.

Real Talk, because Google can't answer my question it seems: Is Zoe going to be at PAX Prime this weekend?

Google shows conflicting reports. Last I heard was that she said something about still being there, but on PAX Prime website I can't find a corresponding panel.

I just wanna be at the right place at the right time this weekend to laugh my rear end off at whatever either side does.

If nothing else, it seems Kotaku has a panel on Sunday that should be a barrel of laughs.

I think this PAX is going to see all sorts of weird poo poo happening. Gaming is an overflowing poo poo-barrel full of lovely poo poo right now, and PAX is going to start ladling that stuff out to all comers.

You know your industry is a joke when the big names get together and get drunk instead of getting together and doing blow.

We get it, you're stuck in a constant state of adolescence. But nobody outside the industry is going to take you seriously if your idea of a good time can be bought at a gas station.

It doesn't even go that far. The Vox Populi are basically a bunch of jingoistic terrorists that are portrayed as no better than the Founders. Daisy Fitzroy tries to murder a child in front of you. The game ends with you killing a bunch of angry minorities in droves via a remote control robot.

Maybe it was trying to make a point that long-standing oppression can (and often does) lead to otherism on the part of the oppressed, meaning once they get in power the cycle continues (meet the new boss, same as the old boss), but mostly it just came off as awkward. I chalk up the last third of Bioshock Infinite two being a victim of several painfully obvious script re-writes because it was painfully obvious to me that Take Two didn't have any loving clue how to properly end the thing.

Wow. People still don't understand what Bioshock Infinite was about?

The point of Bioshock Infinite is that you should not play Bioshock Infinite.
It sets up a continuous, over-the-top cycle of violence/justification that only ends when you decide to stop playing.
That is to say, only legitimate end comes from the player saying "I don't want to do this anymore," and never playing it, or another worthless FPS ever again.
In this respect, the boring, repetitive gameplay is actually a feature. Genius!

I think you're confusing Bioshock Infinite with Spec Ops: The Line.

Understandable since both involved you killing yourself at the end.

Real Talk: Guy did a poo poo job explaining what the hell he was getting at tho, which sucks because it's an excellent point. Eventually developers will have to challenge the consumer with critical thinking. Eventually the video game medium will need a radical movement or drastic shift that changes our perspective on games. It has been on that verge for a while with games like Spec Ops and The Walking Dead showing just how much of an impact a game can leave when you challenge the audience. Even that small scene in Modern Warfare with the nuclear strike left a memorable imprint in the minds of its players.

At this point, it should have been the developers and the industry that challenged gamers (ugh), not the other way around.

That's not really how things work in practice though. In the end all developers are going to make whatever sells. This may sound crazy, but sex in games sells. Violence in games sells. And most of all fun in games sells. Of course fun is completely subjective. If consumers en mass decide they have to be challenged by games and think critically then most games will change. I guess the exception is a game like Depression Quest where it doesn't need to be fun to be successful since the "developer" used sex and social justice to make it a success.

Just look at how sales numbers shift platform and game type development. Several years ago AAA games like Call of Duty on consoles were where all the focus was at. Today you have analysts declaring that console gaming is dying/dead because mobile is where the easy/growing money is. And PC gaming has moved from being "totally dead and gone" to overtaking consoles for "serious gaming". It's all about where people want to spend their money.

Sorry for the serious post in a Cuckquest thread. *farts*

Tons of games, like nearly every SRPG for example, already do challenge the consumer with critical thinking. Games like Europa Universalis, Crusader Kings and X Com require a lot more critical thinking than stuff like Spec Ops. I think Sec Ops and The Walking Dead are trying to provoke an emotional response more than they're trying to get people to think. But I don't think games should even be trying to provoke an emotional response. Movies, books and TV already do that perfectly well. Games should be games. They should be about mechanics, not about story and emotion.

The best possible outcome of all of this would be if (vegan) Zoe got pelted with Five Guys burgers by angry nerds at this PAX thing and someone uploads it to YouTube. Then again being greasy doesn't seem to bother her that much?
