Misogyny is apparently all around us: receptionists make less money than CEO’s, there are no female brick layers, and our politicians are a bunch of lying male pricks who hate their wives, sisters and daughters. But what of video games?
It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.
The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.
Scrawl: "Looks like we know how that new Compile Heart countdown is going to end. The latest issue of Famitsu has confirmed that Agarest Senki 2, known as Record of Agarest War 2 in the US, is Compile Heart’s newest title."
1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.
If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).
Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.
Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.
@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.
I approve of this god damn message.
Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.
There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.
Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.
Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
This is not the first time that Bless Online receives a server merge in Korea. An announcement was made on the official Korean site.
Bless must be an amazing game to be on all these platforms (according to the tags): iPad iPhone Nintendo DS PC PS Vita PS2 PS3 PS4 PSP Wii Wii U Xbox Xbox 360 Xbox One
Very good article
I However really can't stand women most of the time they complain about equality but always expect special treatment anyway not saying this all women and not even just women
And how about the men in videogames who are badass Mofos with 12 pack abs and ripped biceps on their biceps do people think that isn't the same as giving chicks big knockers and nice curves in games.
Sad to say but Japan isn't well known for treating woman well or equally.
Though come to think of it neither does western culture.
This again? I'll grab popcorns. See you at the front page of N4G in a few hours. Hate comments are gonna be fun.
Tch, don't have money for beer. ANYONE, join me?
By hate comments I mean people will be flaming each other soon :P
Video games don't have feelings. They aren't capable of hate.
What's funny is that the author doesn't really answer the question. He/She just throws a bunch of stuff out there and ask us how we feel lol... Tryna get people riled up. Not surprising.
Slow news day I guess.
