It's a pretty well made game. It's essentially a TPS with some survival-horror elements.

Story isn't too shabby, in spite of the glaring flaw of how it tries to portray a bleak world but meanwhile in the gameplay one be super stealth ninja or rambo against the infected or the human enemies.... and that's when you're playing as the young girl.

There you go. My observation that 'The Last Of Us' was entirely-polluted by SJW thinking was accurate.

Maybe I should drastically-edit it down and throw it up on Pastebin.

Pare it down and put it in as an RoK article.

If any current Hollywood Blockbuster or TV show doesn't annoy you, then you probably won't notice it.

As 'art', I'd lump it into the 'laughable juvenilia' category, along with 'Gone Home', 'Kentucky Route Zero', 'Spec Ops: The Line' and 'Bioshock Infinite': all loads of pretentious, muddled hooey that, in a couple of cases, get by on the sheer verve of their world-building.

Modern gaming journalists are ashamed to be working in a field stigmatised as being immature, so will overpraise anything with pretensions to being 'art', and, in doing so, reveal their own lack of education and ignorance of what is good art.

Danielle Riendeau of Polygon claimed 'Gone Home' was a revolutionary new manner of storytelling. No, you uneducated, ignorant twit - it's an Epistolary Story - a form that's been around since 1485 - presented as a Nonlinear Narrative - a form much favoured by the Modernists, who were old enough a concept to have a movement named after no longer being one, and mainly used in modern times to obscure the fact that the first 20 minutes of your television episode is deathly dull by starting In Media Res.

I know this without a degree in literature or journalism. What use are they as critics and arbiters of taste?

I'd argue that the critically-respected games are at about the level of slam poetry. Make of that what you will.

I'm talking about the character models. In Uncharted, Naughty Dog revolutionized high low polygon (in 20,000-30,000 triangle range) character models which were the highest triangle count of the time, and best animated as well. The way the hair is done is very impressive even using the old alpha card method. The digital models, have an insane level of detail which I hope to aspire to achieve at some point. The models I saw of Last of Us were equally crafted, with even more detailed faces. They manage to make a somewhat ordinary outfit look impressive and I'm not sure how they do that. The expressions the character have are almost life like, even though its not quite realistic style.

Can someone give the TL;DR update on this whole scandal?

Did she or didn't she contact the authorities when she said?

Anita Sarkeesian after few days of playing the victim and
begging for donations, and creating drama fake story
that she slept not at home but at her friends,

she gave absolutely no updates anymore about
the so-called "investigation", she is expecting people to forget about it,
and she will repeat the false flag scenario maybe once every year,
to get through her defrauding system some fast cash

There's nothing subtle about it.

Your sidekick is a smart aleck lesbian teenager (established in the DLC, I believe) who takes on full grown cold-blooded killers and wins. Meanwhile, in reality, even the most tomboyish 14-year-old girl would be just about useless in urban warfare.

There's more than you think. Stay tuned. I'm looking at the title screen now. It's a good way to keep useful since I've got the flu.

After Anita received donations of $ 158,922.00 USD on kickstarter,
she "produced" a total of 7 men-hating videos
in 2 years.

That makes it $ 22,703.14 USD for each video in which she speaks in front of a videocamera
for 20 minutes or less.

Plus the income from being a YouTube partner.

She asked for money to make cheap YT vids that a lot of others do for free and while ripping off game footage from other youtubers without permission or acknowledgement.

Quite a hustle she has going.

Post: #188

To be fair, Sarkeesian did ask for a small amount and then got blown away by the amount of incoming donations. It wasn't like she asked for $150k right out the gate.

What the amount of incoming money demonstrated was that there was a market for her message, which is what the money really bought - notoriety and internet fame. Not some cheaply produced Youtube videos.

I was going to make a new thread, but saw this already exists.

Is Anita Sarkeesian sending false flag death threats?

Source

Quote:LOGAN — Utah State University plans to move forward with an event featuring a prominent Canadian-American author, blogger and feminist, despite threats of terror, a spokesman said Tuesday evening.

The decision came after several staff members received an anonymous email terror threat on Tuesday morning from someone claiming to be a student proposing “the deadliest school shooting in American history” if it didn't cancel the Wednesday lecture.

...

n order to determine the degree of risk the letter posed, police ran the information they had through the FBI cyber terrorism task force and a number of other statewide database analysis information centers.

”They determined the threat seems to be consistent with ones (Sarkeesian) has received at other places around the nation,” he told the Standard-Examiner. “The threat we received is not out of the norm for (this woman).”

...

The email was a warning to all staff and students at USU if Sarkeesian’s talk wasn’t canceled “a Montreal Massacre style attack will be carried out”...

Anita Sarkeesian is a Canadian. The threats mention some obscure incident that occurred in Canada that I have never even heard of. There is a repeat history of this type of threat being issued re Sarkeesian. As noted earlier in the thread, Sarkeesian has rarely or never filed actual police reports. Feminists are known to claim things and never actually report them to the police, just so they can get attention.

I dont think it is unreasonable to believe that this creature is false flagging threats against itself in order to get attention. If true, it will be truly beautiful to see Sarkeesian arrested and prosecuted to the full extent of the law for creating panic, issuing terroristic threats, perjuring, etc.

At this point supporting #gamergate is implicitly supporting the harassment of women in the gaming industry.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89cole_...e_massacre

This is the event referenced in the threatening Tweet. Like zaqan, I've never even heard of this. It happened in 1989 in Quebec. I'm willing to bet good money that the vast majority of internet trolls who are targeting Anita Sarkeesian weren't even alive in 1989, nor have they ever heard of this shooting.

However, this is exactly the sort of isolated incident that a hysterical feminist would seize upon and hold up as emblematic of patriarchal violence directed against feminists. It's an incident you would expect a feminist herself to cite if she wanted to portray herself as a victim or a potential victim.

This just increases my suspicions that this woman is a complete and utter fraud, and is either perpetrating these threats herself or through proxies she is in direct communication with. It's just entirely too convenient that these threats keep piling in, which raises her victim status and media profile, increasing her earning potential. Further, the fact that these "threats" specifically cite her feminist activism as motivation strains credulity. An angry man making a death threat against a woman he perceives as annoying is going to call her a bitch or a cunt and tell her to shut the fuck up or die, he isn't going to cite an obscure 25 year old Canadian anti-feminist shooting and say that he's going to make her a martyr for the feminist cause. That's a feminist fantasy of what a death threat looks like.

Or else a kickback from some anti-gun political group. But it could have been something even more trivial, like a visit friends or family or something.
