He's addressed that many times already.
It is what it is because he believes it's necessary to drive an audience to Epic Games Store. Ofcourse Epic know that it's not the most consumer friendly move, but they see it as a means to an end.
the more quality games the better :)
They already have a GI solution in there too, so with reflections it would look amazing.
Not necessarily true.
PS exclusives definitely have the best visuals in many regards. Things like characters, general environment design. Sure, maybe it's not in a fully open dynamic TOD world, but that isn't always the point. Their developers have just done many things to the best quality ever seen in the industry.
Ofcourse, there are many things that are very difficult to do, like some of the things you mentioned.

" It seems to me like a lot of the time the review bombings are deserved and are within the scope of a users own subjective review. "
Come on, that's not reasonable.
You've got a vocal minority that gets pissed about some issue that might not even be directly related to the in-game experience. And they review bomb the game. That's bullshit, because most people who look at the overall review score don't know why it is that way. T...
That's ridiculous justification.
You don't arrest someone for playing a game on mobile. That's nuts. Yes there are problems with video games and kids, major problems that most gamers might not even want to admit.
That doesn't mean you arrest them lol. You spread awareness and convince people. That's what you do.
Hopefully it isn't. No need to take a great slew of multiplats and force them onto one console.
Nothing, because her statements didn't cover those. Based on what she said, I'd imagine some of that is implied, including 'bad parents'. It's not like she blames the entertainment industry here.
"pointless WARS"
Is that what you say anytime someone talks about video games ? It's a ridiculous fallacy.
He's what she actually said though -
"“I’m not one for blaming the media or blaming music and drill videos or whatever, but culturally, there is a sense in which sometimes we are desensitised to violence,” Ms Abbott told The House magazine.
“I just think some young people, the video games they play, the stuff they see online, it may desensitise them to violence.
“I wouldn’t say that’s the main cause of violent crime, I would say the main causes ar...
I'm sure she'd say the same thing about movies too. Diane's actually words aren't unreasonable.

The bullshit is strong with this one.
Writer said he wears his beliefs on his sleeve, and yes that implies there will be a message or agenda. When did he say it's prioritized over making a good RPG ? He didn't. You just popped that in there for good measure didn't you ?. Lots of artists use entertainment to push a message. That doesn't mean it's prioritized over the game.
What gullible people don't realize is that said agenda does...
I mean,he's right. Do you remember last year's EA press conference ? It was unanimously known as the best conference in years.
Especially the part with Command and Conquer Mobile presentation that went on for 20 minutes. I needed a lot of tissues while I was watching that part, and it wasn't because I was crying.

"If youre talking about lines its already been crossed, we kill innocent people all the time in every game, since when rape is worse than murder? "
Since it is almost always more disturbing when presented in media. You can try to pretend like shooting a guy in COD should shock people as much as graphic rape, but at that point you'd have to be actively lying to yourself. The idea of killing people is nothing. It means nothing in a gam...
Raping men ?
Would it be really ? Would Valve allow an adult (read: sexual) visual novel where one of the objectives/gameplay was to harass, abuse and rape men ? Something tells me that's bullshit.
but forget that, you have to understand that these things aren't equal for both genders. You expect this to be biased toward women. Rape is by far skewed in the real world towards women. Men are on average much stronger and able to overpower them. The...
"“You can’t reasonable [sic] consider banning rape in fiction without banning murder and torture,” the developer says."
- dev of the game said this.
That's bullshit. Just as wrong as "Oh so you can kill people in the game but you can't have graphic sex ? society so backwards". These things aren't all the same. Sex is not censored for the same reasons as violence. Not to mention most violence isn't even remotely close to graphic...
Soft Porn vibe. It's clear what the author means and they're not wrong from what I've seen of DOA.
There's no need to be that obtuse, really.
It feels out of place (subjective ofcourse). Not hard to understand why many people might find the soft core porn vibe weird in a fighting game.
Imagine being so thick headed as to conflate any criticism about sex with being 'offended'
What is it that's so hard to understand about sexualization being out of place ? It's criticism just like any other criticism about other aspects of a game.
but the online gaming community doesn't get that. It's always same old stupid arguments. "So violence is okay but not sex?" (as if the two were the same kind of thing), "oh why so scared of the human body".
So stupid.
This is going to be fine for Obsidian. People will buy the game anyway, Obsidian gets much more revenue, and Epic probably paid them a lot of money or made a deal based on sales projections. Whatever it is, I doubt Obsidian care too much.
