Definitely worth a watch. Good show.
Caught up to s3 as well.

Not really, but I also couldn't care less.

RPG focus. Japan 2016. No confirmation on western release so far, but I'd have to imagine they'd bring it over eventually.
Wondering if a rpg story focused game would get me into MH more.

how do you know if a character was "shoe-horned in" or not?
if they bring up their sexuality/etc. excessively? i mean, i can see how that would be annoying, but i mean

Assuming you're asking me?

Shoehorned just means the character or discussion is out of place and just comes off feeling forced or try hard. If a dialogue is well written and set up then it feels like a natural discussion you'd expect people to have with one another based on the current circumstances in the game.

Referencing gender/sexuality/race constantly and bringing up talking points in an attempt to convey a lesson to the player (one that they most likely are not in need of) just doesn't make for an engrossing plot.

More often than not bioware games feel like they're reaching to comment on external issues at the cost of the game it self.

Don't know, don't care. I just hope if they do end up doing it, "being gay" or "transexual" isn't all their character has to offer.

Pretty much this. I want diverse characters, but wish they'd stop shoehorning them in and making their sexuality/gender/race be the entirety of the characters personality.

Interesting flawed characters > pc lecturing 'safe' characters.
Shits just boring and try hard. I don't want my games to feel like they're trying to push an agenda on me. I want them to be interesting and entertaining.

More worried about Mass Effect than Star Wars tbh tho.

The fact that she's tried to push legislation banning video games is enough for me.

Honestly, that's a remarkably petty thing to hinge a vote on, not to mention that her bill was only to prohibit the sale to minors. It's already the policy of every retailer in the country (except maybe online sources like Amazon; I'm not sure if they verify age via credit card) to not sell mature games to minors. Her bill would just make it enforceable.

She called San Andreas a 'major threat to morality' and aided in getting it removed from store shelves. She supported legislation trying to remove 'violent games' from stores.

You may think it's a small thing to hinge on, but I have no time for the moral police on either side. I didn't say it was the be all end all of my vote, but if she can't get the basics down its suggestive of wider problems in judgement. I have little respect for someone who thinks they get to decide everyone else's morals. It's a growing problem on the left and already drowning the right.

Just another in a long line of Republican clown politicians brought to you by the tea party. Your Palin's. Your Bachmans. Your Herman Cains.

Talks about abolishing the IRS. Can't understand basic elementary school level science. Follows a number of ccnspiracy theories (UN is coming for our guns guiz)

Most of his own party thinks he's a joke...because he is. Just watch one of his speeches. Shouldn't be hard for an intelligent person to spot the crazy. You can tell when he's just stating talking points. Guy makes G. W. Bush seem like a brilliant politician.

Your parents will change their mind by the end of the primaries. Conservatives only entertain the crazy for so long, so I wouldn't worry about it.

But really, try Star Trader

Gonna give em all a look over. Need to start watching love live if only to determine best girl to shut up the rest of you.

There's a mic on the Wii U?

You haven't blown a wii u yet?

Right, I can take this two ways.

Kinky.

I don't think splatoon is their attempt to not be taken as a kiddie company...since its splatoon. Not really a hyper competitive third person shooter so much as a colorful game where squid kids have paint battles.

Eh, I think not having chat is a negative, but at the same time I kinda respect that they know their core audience and are willing to be that one console looking out for kids and keeping obnoxious squeakers from ruining a game.

I definitely like the tone. Very blunt and realistic vs say the dragon age games which tend to be more preachy.
Still doesn't grab me like I want it to for some reason. Outside elderscrolls and fable I have a hard time getting into western fantasy RPGs.

Trailer is basically a copy of the gta v reveal or is that just me? Same sounding chick. Same flow of details.

Comparing Dragon Age to the Witcher is like comparing the Hobbit to GoT

Says the guy comparing hola and cod. DA and Witcher are both western fantasy RPGs. DA:I was goty for a lot of people last year. Just pointing out what Witcher does differently (key word there) that makes it more attractive to me over a dragon age game.

Just watched those trailers for the first time...this series got really dumb really fast.
