emphasis on a dramatic story over gameplay

so like... mass effect
Emphasis is a bit of an understatement, I think. It'd have to be a total imbalance. To use your example of Mass Effect, the first had a large story emphasis, but... it's an RPG. Most RPGs have a story preference. The gameplay was shitty, I'll admit, but there was a lot of it.

Mass Effect 3 had an option to completely skip the gameplay and all the story choices to be "super cinematic", so I wouldn't argue over it being called a movie-game. Mass Effect 2 also, to an every-so-slightly lesser degree.

Telltale games are interactive movies.
Heavy Rain is an interactive movie.
And from everything I've seen, The Order: 1886 is an interactive movie. There's nothing wrong with them though as long as they are advertised as such. Calling a spade a spade, really. Otherwise you're misrepresenting the content.

It's a step in the right direction. Of course, they're always going to have breasts--no one's asking for double mastectomies or anything.
Only thing we can confirm is that this won't happen again:

Cancellation would be nice. I don't trust BioWare to not fuck-up another Mass Effect game.

I mean, they said this ages ago. One of the co-creators said that he looked back on the last iteration of Sanya and decided it was too much. There will still be a degree of skimpy clothing present, and boobs, but the faces are aimed to be less masculine and the boobs less torpedo.

Here's Katana's default appearance:

The only people complaining about the recent announcement are the ones who haven't paid attention to anything about the game, or the previous ones.

From what I've seen and heard The Order 1886 is a 5 hour one.

Where have you seen enough evidence to validate that the game is 5 hours long?
Someone got a copy and uploaded footage of his playthrough to YouTube. To be fair, it is missing segments (such as the Zeppelin), o "5 hours long" is a bit of an exaggeration. From what we've seen of the 5 hours though, 3.5 were cinematics. Gameplay also looks like a poor-man's Gears of War with not-so-quick time events.

Didn't they confirm ages ago that they were keeping the TPS/FPS option in the game?

It's the same even with Google Fiber, Sly. They'll be adding it to Atlanta within the next few years; not the greater Atlanta area, just Atlanta. It'll be half a decade before high speed Internet is commonplace.

If they were in the planning stages of a DLC pack four months from release it'd be different; by that point the games already in printing stages to prepare for release and they can't add anything else. But to already have five packs mocked up before we've even seen what the game looks like? No.

Climate Change is a very real thing, people just confused by the term "global warming". They think that it means it's going to be hot everywhere all the time, but it really means that on average a climate will warm. It's not a regional thing.

The best person to look toward is the one who adjusts his position based on the facts. Even if he has a PhD in the field, remember that the man may be predisposed to biases of the subject. Especially in theoretical or philosophical subjects.

I'm interested in whether they'll use the Creation Engine again, or if they modified it/another engine again for Fallout 4.

He talks about everything except gameplay; from what I gather, it's pretty mediocre since it's (as the developer so eloquently put it) "a game, so there's no getting around gameplay."

It might be an 8/10 interactive movie, but poor/lack of gameplay drops it to a 5/10 at best.

That's really just "interest" besides Persona 5.

Yes
I beat Persona 4 in about 10 hours on my NG+, and Dark Souls took a couple of hours.

She does make a few fair points, but it doesn't warrant censorship. The best way to be proactive about it is to spread information on the subject to combat the disinformation, not ban it outright.

I'm for CCW as long as there's a healthy amount of security checks to get a gun. Then again I live in the American south, so my opinion might just be a product of my environment.

right, okay

so just where do people get free will out of that
They misunderstand it. For Schrodinger's Cat, people misinterpret an analogy of uncertainty as superposition; they think, "if it's both at the same time, then that means it is undetermined! Free will." when it actually means, "We don't know until we look. Until then, it's inconclusive."

and apparently that mistranslation affected my own perception of what the principle states, because what you end up hearing from a lot of avid quantum theory supporters is that it supports free will, "because anything could be behind that door", so that means we have free will. Apparently.

which is just horseshit--is that the mistranslation you're referring to?

i'm just regurgitating what i hear
It's not that "anything could be behind it". To use the electron as an example, even when we don't view it, the electron has a spin. We just can't know what the spin is until we perceive it. It's already determined, but that doesn't mean we know what that is.

If I put a giant letter A behind the door and asked you to guess what's behind it, you wouldn't know. The letter A is still there, that hasn't changed, you just don't know that it is there. Uncertainty is perception, not existence.
