Sexism and Sexuality In Games from Bioware Writer David Gaider

[NeoCracker]

That's actually pretty good! Huzzah!

[Quindiana Jones]

70,000?

That's cack.

[NeoCracker]

Really? Call of Duty seems to have, on PS3 and 360 combined, sold just over 90K.

It may be 20K less, but it also isn't as heavily avertised, and doesn't have the pre-built fan base.

And don't forget the release of it kind of snuck up out of no where with the publisher issues.

Edit: The PS3 version is the #7th best seller of June, beating out Resident Evil, Just Dance 4, and Fifa Soccer! Barely lagging behind the 360 version of Call of Duty. (Unrelated, I laugh the PS3 version of Call of Duty is ranked two spots above the 360 version. )

As a side note am I the only female who almost exclusively plays male characters when given the option?

I will slightly counter BoB here by recalling an article in an old game informer from an itnerview with the Gearbox guys after Boarderlands launched. They spoke about how there was more pressure on them trying to make females physically attractive. So for some developers, there is an active goal to do so.

Oh, yeah, I should clarify that I don't mean all of them. I mean, I figured that went without saying. Everyone who has seen Bayonetta... xD

Yeah, but again this was teh Gearbox guys on Borderlands. That game was hardly in the same vein as the likes of Bayonetta. XD

CoD has sold millions. xD Slightly more than <100,000 units.

I should have added in 'in referance to the first weak in june'.

[Quindiana Jones]

Nope. You should have added "in reference to the first week of June".

Wasn't CoD released last November, though?

[DMKA]

Remember Me really is a great game.

Is it really? I was really interested in it until it finally came out.

I find it interesting that it's Metacritic scores vary so much between the PS3/360/PC versions. They're all the same game, right?

[Quindiana Jones]

How come? What killed your interest?

[DMKA]

How come? What killed your interest?

Hearing nothing but bad things about it via word of mouth.

[Quindiana Jones]

Check the thread, son.

No, I know a few. I am pretty sure one of them does it solely because she finds them more attractive. Then again, these are also games where she can decide their appearances herself. Might be different if it's a predefined character.

Lol did anyone watch the new video?
