Well Ninja Theory wound up winning a lot of goodwill from journos with Enslaved. I'm not entirely sure why myself, but it seemed to really resonate with a lot of people in the games journalism community.

That and who likes listening to gamers whine about things.

I assumed journos thought DmC was a smart game for smart gamers.

You see, this fast food advertisement say "lard" in limbo. Your feeble mind probably can't comprehend, so just watch this wicked scene where Vergil preforms an abortion.

Did they have it before they became gaming journalists or is it just a job hazard?

Most have it before, some get infected while starting out.

That wasn't supposed to be cool, he was very clearly portrayed as being in the wrong for doing that.

It's not even funny. It's an awful, awful scene that makes an already lovely game even worse.

Was it this thread where someone was talking about how one of the writers of Enslaved had to convince the TN that a scene where the protagonist beats a slave does not make him cool?

I'm just saying you're supposed to have a negative reaction there, it was a bad person doing a bad thing.

What bugs me about the scene is that it happens right after a boss battle with the loving thing, and then Virgil one shots it with a random rifle.

I really hoped one of the K-on savants could answer this for me. I'm disappointed in you.

I feel like they must have been in one of the season 1 OVAs that aren't on Hulu because I am just blanking here.

Don't need to click on that link to know what it is. Skrillex works so well with it.

my reaction wasn't 'oh no, that monster, how dare he, i am very invested in this plot'

my reaction was 'lol, loving really? this game was made by morons.'
