Sexism in video games has been a hot button issue lately and with good reason. There has been an appalling lack of believable and well developed female characters in video games
since almost their inception. For every Alyx Vance there are dozens of sex kittens and helpless princesses.
Near the end of Deadlight something occurres which casts a shadow over the entire experience.
Some games require more than one playthrough to fully experience. Here are seven games that are better on the second playthrough.
Red Dead 2 ? Who would ever want to play that slow ass bloated overly long game twice ! Not to mention going through those awfully designed main missions.
I mean, I did. I enjoyed every bit of the 3 times I played through it. Just because you didn’t enjoy it doesn’t mean others won’t. Not every game is for everyone.
But the first game is one of my favourite games ever.. i have no idea what happend with the second game but Rockstar needs to change it’s game design, especially how those main missions are designed. It’s severly outdated. Oh and actually make the gameplay enjoyable and not so slow and clunky.

Believe me, I recently replayed the first one and it’s worse in both structure and game design. Don’t let nostalgia misplace that. RDR 2 is definitely an improvement but it’s rockstar in general that needs to open up their handholding on missions.
Some games have good incentives for multiple playthroughs but you can never beat experiencing it for the first time. Caelid for the first time? Mindblowing. Second time around it's just Caelid again.
GF365: "Here are the best zombie games for Xbox One. Many of these post-apocalyptic zombie games are also available on other platforms. Plus, you can play any of these games on Xbox Series X and S via backward compatibility."
GF365: "A well-written and heart-touching video game can bring almost anyone to tears, and it's not always a bad thing. There are countless titles that have executed the concept of tragedy perfectly. Here are the saddest video game stories."
Deadliest was an awesome game. Glad to see it get recognition. I remember seeing it in ebay physically I had to buy it.
NieR: Automata's focus on existentialism hit me so hard, I legitimately had a brief existential crisis from it. It actually had me contemplating life and death. One of the many factors that contributed to Automata overtaking Chrono Trigger as my favorite game of all time. I've been gaming since Bionic Commando on NES. So I never really thought I'd find a game that could usurp Chrono Trigger for me, personally.
wow.
i mean i love the Nier franchise but to contemplate life and death ... maybe a therapist would help? not being funny about it.
TLOU had a couple of touching moments but the entire story wasn't sad to me. But it was a story of survival so I guess the entire predicament of living in those conditions can be considered sad & I guess the same can be said for The Walking Dead..lol. Sekiro,Spec Op & Dark Souls story didn't seem sad to me nor did Nier:Automata. To each their own to how someone interprets a sad story.
What?!
SPOILERS
Dude, the main characters daughter dies in his arms in the first 30 minutes of the game. Then 2 brothers die in front of you in a horrible heartbreaking way. Followed by the conclusion where Joel chooses Ellie’s life and dooms mankind!
😂 Not sad at all
Sarah’s death was sad, didn’t care about the 2 brothers at all, and I fully support Joel’s decision to save Ellie because mankind was beyond saving at that point anyway, so it was more bittersweet than sad, knowing how it would strain Ellie and Joel’s relationship going forward.
For me, the beginning was sad in TLOU everything else was just touching moments. Again as I stated in my initial comment.."To each their own for how someone interprets what is & isn't sad"
"A power generator. If i turn this off all hell will break loose..It'd be my pleasure"
Yeah that's definitely the best thing to do when you're looking for your wife and daughter. /s
"A few days ago I reviewed Deadlight and gave it a generally positive score. However, near the end of the game something occurred..."
Another lazy blogger who didn't care to finish the game before he reviewed it and gave it a score. And of course, he's not shocked that the main protagonist rips somebody's head off with an axe (explicitly shown) but rather is baffled by two not-even-bare breasts.
"The most sexist scene I've ever seen"
Guess someone never played Rapelay ...
Deadlight was ok but, painful. At the time it was released there were not many more new interesting games, so it was the newest zombie game from the bunch, and got some attention. That is all. Nobody will remember it onea year later, since their best thing was, basically, the name of the achievements, took from 80's songs
The game mentioned or even implied nothing of a sexual assault, more the necessity to see if the character is infected. Way to see what isn't there author.
