Trailer for independent game which smartly employs glitch aesthetics in it’s game world as part of it’s narrative - video embedded below:
Gamespot’s response to the backlash that they, and the game’s reviewer Carolyn Petit, got for their review of GTAV
This is just perfect.
Gamespot just earned a shit ton of respect from me.
I’m fucking tired of gaming communities saying “Gaming journalism is a joke!” and then gamers simultaneously flinging shit at journalists who actually critically analyze video gaming. This happens all the fucking time - gamers paradoxically want good journalists and journalists who don’t treat gaming as an art form. The end result is that if you take games “too seriously,” gamers lose their shit and treat you like you’re trying to “interject discourse that doesn’t exist in the first place.”
IT IS A VALID AND IMPORTANT CRITICISM THAT GTA V IS MISOGYNISTIC, OBJECTIFIES WOMEN, AND VIRTUALLY HAS NO ROOM FOR WOMEN BUT AS SEX OBJECTS. THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM IN THE SERIES THAT HAS EXISTED FOR YEARS SINCE IT WAS FIRST CREATED, AND IT NEEDS TO BE UNDERSTOOD THAT THE SERIES WILL NOT RECEIVE PERFECT SCORES UNTIL THE GAME STARTS TO FIX THESE GLARING ISSUES
I love gaming, but I’m not about to sit around and let good game series get overhyped and pampered by their community. If gamers want video gaming to be taken seriously, they need to bite the bullet and allow social critique to enter gaming. Gaming often contributes directly back to misogyny, racism, etc. and we have major gender discrimination across the spectrum on gaming websites. Gaming is virtually stuck in the 1950s, with how gamers often treat gender topics and assert masculinity in competitive gaming.
A lot of people are sick and tired of it, and introducing a verified academic subject into a gaming review is not “stupid” - it’s an incredibly valid and important critique. The fact that the gaming community refuses to recognize that is utterly disgraceful.
The video just kept getting better the longer it went on.
May I also throw in Jim Sterlings video on a similar issue? Here you go
The reaction to this article actually infuriated me so much when I read it originally. I know for a fact, a FACT, that if the politically incorrect/sexism points had not come up in the review, it would have been brushed under the rug with the ordinary amount of hate response you see on every article on the internet.
I have to just ask of my followers. What on earth is the straight ‘dudebro’ male so terrified about serious conversations of the social implication of games like this. It’s not like them ‘feminazis’ started a huge campaign to take the game off the market for the portrayal of women. It’s simply a discourse on the political issues that are discussed in every medium of entertainment. Yet every-time this comes in the standard, typical gaming community sphere, it seems like the majority spit acid in reaction to the possibility of ANY useful constructive criticism. It’s the elephant in the room - who you can’t look at for fear of being verbally abused and some refuse to see to the point they send threats?
Are they actually that afraid of games possibly stretching outside its boundaries?
I legitimately can’t understand it guys…
Seriously entertaining video, wow. I think These commenters expect a certain amount of pandering without too much discourse.
You have a week to find your PS Vita, find your charger, and subsequently charge your PS Vita, in anticipation of the arrival of the port of cyberpunk bartending game VA-11 HALL-A.
I loved this game – I think everyone loved this game? – and I only like it more the longer I think about it. I cannot wait to play this again, maybe going for some different outcomes this time.

Ace Attorney 6 ~ Gameplay Footage [Tokyo Game Show]
Gameplay footage for the upcoming Ace Attorney 6, also showing some tremendous animations for our new character, Leifa Padma Kurain.
(Made some slight alteration to the stream video to better show the gameplay.)
WAAAIIIIT those camera angles and 3D animations are cool but does this mean no anime cut scenes?
Sally Face is what happens if you combined a supernatural murder mystery with 90′s grunge aesthetic and it was drawn by an artist on deviantart in 2012 with an invader zim profile pic that says “welcome to my twisted mind”. then you said “fuck it” in the middle of your gritty, bleak horror game and decided to make all your characters as lovable and heartfelt and precious as possible.
