I kinda like this yes/no system.

wtf is wrong with just saying YES, do we really need shitty numbers so people can go apeshit on spam PAID REVIEW or HAHA 4.5/10, I think saying things like yes get the game or no do not get the game, or rent it to find out if you like a game is a lot better than giving it a score.

The five star system is really the best. 5/5 is a game everyone should get, 4/5 is a game that fans of the genre will like, 3/5 is a mediocre but still enjoyable game, 2/5 is flawed and 1/5 is complete horse shit.

>>163080953

they do

To be honest, I find Hitman Blood Money frustrating. I like the concept, but when playing a hitman I basically want to walk up to my target, give him two in the chest, one in the head and walk away. Unfortunately any time you assassinate anyone it's in a crowded place, by the looks of it. A game like that but in more rural locations would be ideal for me.

So what specific gay jokes and misogyny are they talking about?

>Aspects of Absolution channel the instagram-filtered funk of HBO's smutty vampire series True Blood, but the game has little of that show's hedonistic joy. Once you look past the blood and tits, Absolution often feels cold, calculated, and vaguely creepy. The leather-gloved choking, S&M fixation and light, doth-protest-to-much homophobia evoke European torture-porn more than they do southern-fried pulp. As I played, I couldn't quite shake the feeling that behind the awesome kills and brazenly sexualized violence lay a clinical, heavy-lidded observer who, having designed this funhouse, finds it enjoyable in a different, darker way than I do.

What does this even mean

>The world of Hitman: Absolution is a right nasty one, and often it feels like the game's trying too hard. This is a dark place, where men are pigs with sex-offender eyes and women are either scantily clad wank fantasies, psycho killers, nuns, prostitutes, or some combination of the four. 47 is his usual fart-smell-faced cypher self, but the young girl he's protecting could have easily been so cool—part Hit-Girl and part Mitsuko Souma, a killing machine in a schoolgirl dress. And yet she's relegated to the role of helpless MacGuffin for all but a brief, stilted cutscene. It feels like a waste.

WHY DO SOME PEOPLE NEED TO COMPLAIN? Wouldn't it make more sense to anybody and everybody to simply not complain about anything once optimal conditions are achieved? We asbolutely do not NEED to complain about something at all times.

So are we reaching a point in video games now where no characters are allowed to have negative opinions of a group of people as part of their characterization because they're 'bad' opinions/views?

This shit is getting stupid.

>>163081727
Ok so he complains that all of the women are scantily clad wank fantasies and psycho killers except for the little girl who isn't which is bad because he wanted her to be a scantily clad psycho killer character.

Best part is that he spent the entire review babbling about near-future "this could really happen!" bullshit and then the very first comment underneath is like "what about the fucking gameplay and shit" and he was like "it's ok"

>>163087193
What about the opinion that easy games are better because challenge is unwelcome? /v/ would react poorly to that opinion and characterize it as 'bad'.
Just trying to be devil's advocate.

>>163087118
Because they are insecure about themselves. Because they need a pat on the head and a hug and need to be told, "there there, it's ok." Because they need constant love and affection from someone else because they don't love themselves. So they get it by getting people to agree with them and feel bad for them and to slather them with love and affection.

The sign of a child in adult form. All violence is sexual.

>gee I wonder why serial killers often have weirdass sexual fixations

>gee I wonder why stabbing someone is more traumatizing than beating someone

>gee I wonder why guns are psychologically easier to use against people than knives, swords, or axes

It's because all violence is sexual. The act of sex is inherently Life and Death. Why do you think Rape fucks people up in the head so bad?

You should - It's subversive and disingenuous. It's conditional love.

>>163087901

It's human nature. It's a train that cannot be stopped. It's an easy way to get the attention they want.

Every time I see one of these kotaku threads I think about what it's like to work there. To go into the office and be surrounded by retarded reddit types who know nothing about videogames. Then my boss comes along and tells me to write something provocative that'll get a lot of hits. And I do it, but I'm stupid enough to not feel bad about it.

I go to the cafeteria for some chai. Two girls are sitting there taking a break and discussing how all sex is rape and what they can do to take down the patriarchy. And I tell them "you go!"

then I wake up from the nightmare

This makes bar brawls a lot more interesting! Tough guys with homosexual fantasies trying to deal with it through violence.

You're doing a poor job at it as that was a retarded example to use. You'd use the opposite and have a character who's a feminist or something.

>>163088467
Bar brawls are in fact fights for sexual dominance and the right to breed.

No offense but you needed this controversy to convince you to do this? I thought it was common sense to play before you buy and support them if it's good. Seems like smart consumer practice if the option is available to you, which for software it is.

Simple really - the association between social dominance and violence.

The reason guns are easier to use is because it detaches the person firing from the violence making it easier to accept, to a degree.

This is a 'professional' reviewer saying that he doesn't want the grown women to be sex fantasy killers, he wants the little girl to be the sex fantasy killer. This isn't some guy on /v/ saying how much he loves little girl vag, this is a guy with a documented career.

Perfect blackmail for if, any time in the future, he tries to force some inane feminist/CIS/Race-related crap onto some company.

Interestingly enough, many men make friends by fighting.

Hell I made friends with a guy who was going to cut my throat. In fact, we were both going to cut eachothers' throats over something stupid, so we both realized it and had a grand old time.

People are less likely to kill eachother than you might think. The human mind is full of such strange possibilities. Falling in love with your kidnapper, making friends with someone who was mutually threatening to kill you.

Because that is natural male biology to protect and coddle females.

Believe it or not, the "alpha/beta" thing died out many many many thousands of years ago and in its place ancient white knight sprang up. Evolution favored white-knight providers with single-pairings over the single male harem.

Which is why we have the instinct and feel sexual attraction toward neotenic traits.

>>163089523
This is what I don't get. I keep seeing people say that violence is sexualized or fetishized, but they never explain why. They never explain how something crosses the line from regular, not a problem, fantasy violence to absolutely disgusting, sexualized, problematic, fantasy violence.

>>163090551

while there are certainly awful "feminists" I think you are letting facebook feminists ruin an entire idea for you. I dont think feminism itself is a bad thing and I think a lot of you have the wrong idea of what a complex idea it is. There are many different sides of feminism, and a large majority really dont want favoritism, and find it terrible, they would rather we start raising females that are more independent and not raised to be fragile and self concious. Its not terrible to not want all the female role models in vidya games to be simple sex objects.

I don't think they could explain that. It's easier to just say it is. If somebody calls you on it you have a buzzword to call them to ensure nobody listens to them or backs you up that they need to distinguish the difference.

Holy shit that actually makes sense.

The optimal way for people to safely raise children for a long time would be a model where the child would be raised in pairs.

But wouldn't a step further be to just have the strongest/smartest/best male fertilize all the females and just leave the child raising duties to another male?

Sure it isn't fair, but it is optimal.

>>163091135

>>163091230

That's where we factor in the concept of possession.

undoubtedly, but were treading a fine line here, and god knows how many middle/high schoolers /v/ has convinced to hate all feminists and women in general

>>163091230
>Sure it isn't fair, but it is optimal
I like the way you think. It's efficient. Still the people who fertilize shouldn't necessarily be the alpha males, it should be males who have good genes. There may be an overlap there but still.

>>163091365
>to hate all feminists and women in general
I don't think people here actually hate women. They hate feminists and not for unfair reasons. The squeaky wheel gets the hate.

>>163090810
Well the idea is like in this post:
>>163090430

Some men and women enjoy stripping. It is empowering for some people to flaunt their sexuality, a way of showing how they have a gift.

Issue is when people like feminists assume that all sexuality is bad unless they have complete control over it. They assume anytime a woman expresses herself sexually, it is to appease males rather than say for her own pleasure.

>>163091428
Men are actually able to "transform" into caregivers quite easily, its been observed that men who have and raise children get a loss of testoterone over time, so really we are able to preform in all different kinds of scenarios. I dont think theres one perfect efficient way, or that humans are naturally anything

You know, I think I might right a story about this "misogony" and all that BS. It'd essentially be a civil war over social beliefs that are fucking retarded, and the moral of the story is "If someone says something you don't like, don't give a shit. Simple as that."
