Joe from Awesome Games writes: 'Picture the scene. You’re at a social gathering one evening, just trying to have a good time. Conversation is flowing and you express an opinion on the topic at hand. Suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere, someone you’ve never met appears before you. They overheard. They disagree. And they tell you they’re going to rape you for it.
How do you feel?
It’s a question most of us will never realistically be able to answer. But right now, across the world, women involved in video gaming are finding out exactly how it feels. And that’s not okay.'
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
Take it a step further and tell us how the KKK harms us all instead of just being seen as the fringe lunatics we all know they are. Because the same principle applies here. Quit giving them attention and they'll go away. Don't validate them. Treat their comments and threats as inconsequential BECAUSE THEY ARE. I don't believe this really has anything to do with misogyny or even video games for that matter. It's just idiot trolls being idiot trolls. The fact that people keep giving them credence says more about the media than the trolls themselves.
Spot on ab5olut10n. Ludicrously lazy, 'egotist masked as a defeatist' thinking like 'it harms us all' makes me hate article writers rather than trolls themselves.
"This has all coincided with the emergence of the #GamerGate hashtag on Twitter"
Strange that, the police said Anita Sarkeesian had been receiving threats like these for years... (Long before the gamergate hashtag ever existed)
Once again twisting lies for a personal agenda, troll harder.
What is with these article writers and their inability to actually see what's going on here?
How #GG is being covered by the media is the real harm.
