One More Level writer weighs in on the "girlfriend mode" controversy.
GF365: "Whether it be style, speed or firepower, these rides are sure to satisfy. Here are our picks for the ten best vehicles in video games."
The Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak from the Gran Turismo series
Nissan Skyline from Need for Speed Underground
Motorcycle Steamroller from Dead Rising 3
And finally a car you never drive but saves your ass over and over : Honey Badger from COD MW2
I was thinking of Mad Max. That V8 felt really good to drive around in, especially with upgrades.
I don't know... It was a strange addition to the game, and the parts of the game where you had to fight in it were tedious. But driving it around Gotham felt brilliant.
GF365: "Sometimes a funny and less stressful game is a welcome change. Here are the best comedic video games that will surely improve your mood."
Despite lacking Call of Duty, the Nintendo Switch has many great shooters to replace it. Here are some of the best shooters on Switch.
Anyone else have a small but noticeable delay in aiming on Borderlands 2? Anytime I move the aiming reticle, there is maybe a quarter of a second (250ms) delay before it moves. Happens in both Handheld and Docked.
So basicaly the new class is made for casuals and will have no real use for the real fans of the game who actually have an interested in games or this game in question.
Why do developers do this...it's like a massive middle finger towards real fans of a franchise
Why do you need to force people into a game, you either like them and are good at it or you suck/you don't like games. You don't need to create gameplay design around those types of people. Focus of the fans you have Gearbox
That's convenient because I found this article to be the dumbest article ever.
Stop promoting sensationalist crap, this is the equivalent of an OK! article. The guy said something and it's being taken out of context. This isn't gender equality, let's please decide as a community not to make this a thing.
The guy said something that could be construed as something wrong when given to the news hungry. Don't rape someone over the coals because a guy who has dedicated his life to making entertaining content said something that can be stretched.
If anyone thinks that this isn't sensationalist crap I can only point to the title.
"Dumbest Move Ever"
I seriously doubt that.
You can certainly hate my article and thats fine.And I understand the man has feelings, and so do gamers.
And yes, what he said IMPLIES sexism. That's what I said. It doesn't mean i'm saying he is, in fact, sexist. I'm saying he made a dumb move by saying something that, in those very words, implies the incompetence of women in games. And that he should have picked a better choice of words or this uproar wouldn't have happened in the first place.
I think it was a sexist comment to make when taken at face value. But taken in the entire context of his explanation, I don't think it has malicious intent. His explanation of Best friend's skill tree (which isn't actually named the girlfriend mode):
"This is, I love Borderlands and I want to share it with someone, but they suck at first-person shooters. Can we make a skill tree that actually allows them to understand the game and to play the game? That’s what our attempt with the Best Friends Forever skill tree is,”
There's good intent there, just a poor choice of phrasing. I think some of the backlash, some going as far as to claim it's lost their $60 is a bit of an overreaction. I would save that reaction for the stuff going in tomb raider, which is getting a little shady. But this was a comment, that probably doesn't even reflect the views of all the staff.
People are way too sensitive.
