  @Lrub That seems slightly unfair to cockroaches :P I'm sure they don't want to be lumped in the same category as this... creature. Reply 0

• Capcom: "excessive outsourcing" has resulted in a "decline in quality"

  @kenichi-san I get the feeling most of them are still anchored in the good ole days, where there were only a few big companies and they didn’t have that much competition between them, because they stuck to different genres. They just can’t fathom that nowadays someone might prefer a different zombie game to RE6 or a different RPG to the latest FF. Reply 0

  I have to wait a year?? *sadface.jpg*
  
  I think it looks awesome. To all those complaining about the graphics, you do realise that this i just the beginning, right? That at this point, the game is being made, better graphics will come as soon as the devs know the specs of the next-gen consoles, I guess.
  
  But frankly, as long as I can see Geralt clear enough to drool over him, I'm happy. What I want from the Witcher isn't cinema HD graphics. I want a compelling story, interesting characters, and for the game to be so addictive I am late to bed every night :D (just like the previous two ;) ) Reply 0

  @Ilovechips Of couuuuuuuurse it is. Of course a girl can't like FPS without throwing herself as bait to all you poor lonely gamer men out there. Of course she has no idea of how to play, and is only doing it so that you'll drop your hands from your controllers to stick them down your pants. /sarcasm
  
  I don't play FPS. Mostly because I have no sense of direction. But also because there are a lot of idiots out there like you who think we only play to get attention. God forbid us to play because we actually LIKE the game, right? Reply +2

  @reverandglass The thing is I don't need a booth boy to sell me a game (or a booth babe either). Before going to any gaming convention, I check out the list of games they have and make sure I have clear which ones I'm interested in trying out. Walking around will give me sometimes more ideas, but frankly, I'd rather have the zombies from RE6 (and I am SO miffed I didn't get that watch they were giving out) than some dude or dudette trying to impress me on how good their game is just because they are hot.
  
  And no I don't play any FPS to be honest :D I have absolutely NO sense of direction. I could get lost in a cardboard box. I mostly play MMORPGs or Mario Kart online. But I do have a friend who really likes beat-'em-ups and she gets a lot of shit for it. Reply +2

  @Retroid I remember Ubisoft hired a bunch of actors to cosplay AC for one MCM. I have NO problem with that (other than they were a bunch of stuck up pricks, but that's hardly Ubisoft's fault xD) Reply 0

  @Kysen The violence in games isn't real. You did know that right?
  
  However the women in skimpy outfits promoting them ARE real. And that's why I have an issue with it. Reply 0

  @null Get your girlfriend on any multiplayer game and tell the rest of players that she is a girl.
  
  If you still think women aren't second classs citizens in the gaming world, then you might want to check your hearing. Reply +1

  @reverandglass All your arguments would be valid, but for one simple thing. Where are the booth boys?
  
  As you said, gaming is a primarily male environment. Wouldn't it be more logical for companies to reach out to the people who HAVEN'T been convinced to buy their games?
  
  Do guys really need a pretty girl to tell them to buy the latest Assassin's Creed (for example)?
  
  As a gamer, not all the pretty boys and girls in the world can convince me to buy something if I'm not interested in it... Are you willing to buy a game you don't like just to get attention from a pretty girl? Seriously? Reply +2

  @rivuzu As as person who cosplays and a friend of cosplayers, I feel I had to answer. Booth Babes are there, paid by the companies, their clothes paid by the companies, their time paid by the companies and most importantly, their BODIES paid by the companies. That's what the companies and a lot of people who go to these shows think of them. Bodies.
  
  Cosplayers get into their attire out of love. We love the series, we love the character, whatever. We make our own clothes and props. Nobody pays us to do it, and nobody expects us to show up skimpily dressed. For every Ivy there is a Bahamut. I didn't see anybody take a photo of the zombies or the Alien because of its boobs/ass/pretty face.
  
  TL;DR? Booth babes are paid to be there, and probably don't like videogames anyway. Cosplayers are there because they love what they do, and aren't paid for it. Reply +2

• DRM treats gamers like "criminals"

  I remember buying The Witcher special edition for twenty euros. It started my addiction to special editions, and now those are all I buy.
  
  Piracy is always going to be around. The best way to get people to buy original copies is to give them something they want and that pirates can't give them. Not by castrating the games until they are unplayable Reply +18
