Chris McGuinness of Screen-Shaped Eyes takes a look at the issue of race in Telltale's The Walking Dead.
Faiya from NoobFeed lists all the female best characters of gaming industry.
Grab some tissues and stock up on comfort food because today we're breaking down nine video game stories that are super depressing.
1. Lack of highly exclusive games this generation on XB1, has been the super depressing video game story this gen.
2. Anthem is another,
3. WiiU,
4. XB1 will not work without Kinect lie,
5. XB1SAD Edition,
6. Crackdown 3,
7. Street Fighter V,
8. Sea of Thieves,
9. No Man Sky, (although apparently good now)
MGS4 should replace 3 a lot of characters both hero and villain die permanently in that game, also including a lot of people from MGS3.
TWD season 2 should also be replaced with season 1 nothing telltale has done has broken me since the final section with Lee and Clementine (“keep that hair short” ☹️)
"Now, the thing I haven’t mentioned in all of this is that, yes, these grisly death scenes are especially weird because Lara Croft is a woman.
She’s every bit as powerful, resourceful and agile as her male counterparts, but where Nathan Drake and Master Chief and Agent 47 and Solid Snake and Kratos and Link and Gordon Freeman simply get knocked off, Lara Croft needs to be beaten up, bloodied, impaled and garroted for all to see.
And when these animations are made by a majority-male development crew, for a majority-male audience, under the shadow of all sorts of nasty tropes that see women suffer on screen, it’s understandable why so many people feel uneasy about these scenes." Polygon says.
It's not because it is a she, Tomb Raider has always had special death animations, and it's a lot like Death Space, which mind you Isaac had FAR more gruesome fates them Lara. It's a design on the game to show the result of your failing. If anything it's equal opportunity, she is treated no different then most male characters, it's just most devs don't do custom death scenes.
It's funny that on N4G people universally think this author is an idiotic, soy boy half man cuck who complains that MEN of all things created a game depicting women dying (as if women depicting this would be just fine and dandy) and demonizes the male audience, as if men should never view such things.
Then you read the comments on the actual site, and they're all the same idiotic, soy boy half men cucks who completely agree and think women being realistically killed is so out of place in a fantasy setting where a woman shoots and brutalizes men with a pic ax among other weapons. As long as it's a woman killing men and not the other way around we're ok. Because equality, or something.
Male feminists spouting third wave feminist garbage make me sick.
Polygon is less of a gaming site and more of a estrogen factory.
Don’t like it, don’t play it, don’t force your sad world views on us normal folk.
@Gaming They put their articles up here so that they can get those annoyed clicks.
@NapalmSanctuary I put the article up here, I don't support polygon in any way.
For those wanting to see the article without giving the site clicks use an archive link

Dead Space was in the thriller genre, as is the Resident Evil series. You are comparing apples to oranges.
Having said that, I don't mind the death animations other than that sometimes I feel they take a bit long.
Death animations will never be outdated. It’s far better than seeing a character do the same thing every time it’s game over no matter the situation
It goes to show how creative the devs can get to show the player’s failure
I still can't help but laugh at the Conan O'Brian segment where he was playing the first game and he kept dying on the river section and his reactions to being impaled over and over again in different ways.
We're living in parody. Its like we all died and went to spaceballs's unfunny prequel.
Nah man, your thinking of the sequel that was a shameless ripoff of the original with an uncompelling lead and Dark Helmet & President Skroob wannabes for main villains.
My father always used to say "things were different back in my day" and I always thought he was just being a grumpy old man. In my thirties now, I'm beginning to turn into that grumpy old man too, and can't help but roll my eyes at something I see online, practically every day at this stage. There's so much stupidity in the world right now. Everyone seems to be offended by everything, and I tend to like the world less and less as time goes by.
I’m 100% agree with you sir. I’m nearing 30 myself and I’m starting to feel the same way.
How does a death animation, have anything to do with Lara Croft's gender...? Oh wait, it doesn't. Stop making something out of nothing. Please tell me these Polygon "Jounalists" don't actually get paid to write this garbage...
Polygon with another article that helps further cement modern gaming journalism as a joke. How is having a variety of death animations for a character dated? Also, why is Lara’s gender suddenly an issue, male characters have brutal death animations also, just look at Doom (2016),the Gears of War series, God of War...
Funny you should bring up Doom. Here’s some super sweet gameplay highlights from the “gamers” over at Polygon. https://youtu.be/d3pQ0oO_cD...
It is natural to think what is a black man doing with a white girl. Just like if there was a white man with a black girl. Chris just hasn't been in a area where he was the minority to deal with these kind of situations!
o.o Clementine look asian to me
Race is only an issue to the uneducated, the weak minded, and the weak willed. People distrust or hate what they fear. Without fear, the mind is free. But in a state of constant fear, you are a slave to your own ignorance. It is a sad thing for a human being to walk through life shackled and lost in a fog of his/her own confusion. That is a sad and lonely existence, and those are the folks who usually die alone with only their bitterness as their final embrace. Good luck with that.
