I was going to casually reply to this with something witty and thought-provoking, but I'd rather smoke a bowl.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

@Bigboi500: I think you and I have been lost in translation, probably my fault. I agree with you, I do, I was amused by "straight games" is all. It was a strange thing to read first thing in the morning. Being forced is defiantly not okay, especially in games that are supposed to make you feel like what you are playing is borderline reality. However, I doubt it will be as bad as you think it will. If your gaming experience is being destroyed and raped because of a guy hitting on you, you might want to take a step back and have a look at yourself and life. No hate, just advice.

I tend to become very immersed in the games I play, and never once has something as little as sexuality in a video game made me feel any less immersed. I'll get a chop going if you relax a little.

@Bigboi500: Straight games? Never in my life have I ever considered any single game a primarily "straight" game.

Cameron Lee is exactly right in regards to the choice of players with different fantasies. It doesn't really matter if the option to be a gay male or female is in the game, it matters if they are trying to force homosexuality down our throats but I doubt that will be the case. Having homosexuals in games is like having homosexuals in real life, especially when it comes to a fantasy game like Dragon Age where roleplaying comes into play a fairly decent amount. I'll be playing a straight male and will most likely try to sleep with the first female companion I come across, but if someone else wanted to be a homosexual and have sex with the first man/woman they comes across then that's fine. Who gives a ****?

To put it simply, why does it actually affect you?
Why is having an option in the game that allows same-sex relationships affect you so much?
Are you homophobic?
Does it matter if there are gamers in the world with different wants and needs than you?

Gamers deserve choice, each and every gamer, each and every choice.

I have been noticing a few things about the new gen console that have altered my gaming in a pretty big way. I spend a lot of time gaming, more so now on PC than Xbone, but that wasn't always the case. Every time I get in the mood to hit up Battlefield with a few mates, or Assassin's Creed, my vibe is destroyed by the seemingly endless wait time of powering the Xbox One up. It takes well over three minutes and if there is an update, which there is usually one a day, it takes over six minutes to actually be able to skip through the last intro video of which ever game is being played.

In a nutshell, the Xbox One takes too long to start up, to load games, to load any snap features, and basically everything else. Now, I love Xbox, it's always been my choice gaming platform, but at the moment I am slowly drifting away from console and towards PC.

Does any one else suffer endless waiting with the Xbox One?

Note: I have my Xbox set to "Power Saving", not "Instant On".

I'd need a little more to go off to make a somewhat decent opinion.

Do you have a link to the source?

Yes, anywho!

Thanks for the welcome, now I must wait until tomorrow to reply any further. Newbie forum rules are bliss.

Oh, forgive my lack of knowledge about acronymes; could someone explain "TC" and "OT"?

@Iszdope: I am so confused. It is a capital, you're right, I only just noticed that. When I look at my profile, it isn't a capital though. So to sum it up, it is a capital in the forums, but it is not a capital outside of the forums.

Man, I am spinnin' out.

Not any one solution will make you happy. Happiness is something only the person seeking it can find, and even knows how to find it. If YOU are unhappy, YOU must find your own happiness; might not be easy or fast, but it is something you must find either within ya self or from something you enjoy.

Also, go make love to a beautiful woman/man. Thank me later.
