[QUOTE="princeofshapeir"] You haven't played the game yet either, and from what I'm getting from all the "wahhh misogyny" complaints arising from these reviews it's absolutely nothing new for the GTA franchise. IV had a LOT of it as well, but it was never framed as anything more than satire. Animal-Mother

It's time for gamers to grow up though. Period. Who cares if GTA didn't get called out in the past? 

Wanna do something?

go to a battered womens shelter and help

Go to a protest

Actually help people.

Go to some kind of rally

Talk to your local representitive about rights.

They shouldn't be sitting here telling artists what to do, they don't like it they can piss off. 

Except treating woman like garbage isn't "artistic expression". Neither would a game that featured the KKK running around town looking for black people to lynch or burn at the stake.

This game also portrays men as thugs. Guess that's all the human population, might as well have given it a 1/10. Carolyn has no balls anymore, unfortunately.

 

So GTFO and never return, idiot.

Because the portrayl of men vs woman within the gaming industry has been fair and balanced right? For a game with as an audience as GTA to sink to the lowest common denominator by making woman a punching bag throughout the entierty of the game deserves a point taken off the score. 

You're creating a false equivalency. Men and woman are treated completely different within games. GTA just took it to a new level by making the belittling of woman a feature of their game.

[QUOTE="chrisrooR"] Because she's profoundly wrong. It makes fun of men, women, the disabled, the elderly, right wing, left wing...there really isn't anyone that's excluded from it. rjdofu

How would you know? Have you even played the game yet?

Sorry everyone...women are not your cum rags that you get temporary use of, then throw away. A game that so harshly degrades half of the human popultion deserves criticism. Just sad that only a few will have the balls to stand up and say it. Thanks Carolyn for having more balls than 99% of the "men" that prowl these forums on a daily basis. 

Because the reviewr that HAS played obviously felt that the degree to which women are mistreated within this game was so striking, she felt the need to point it out. 

Don't pretend that what she had to say isn't true. You know it is. You just want to play the game without any shread of accountability is all.

So looks like people will just keep arguing over how she said "profoundly misogynistic". Lol.

Anyone complaining about the X1 using the Win8 interface is just trollin. I LOVE the metro interface, and it's PERFECT for a controller. It sucks with a keyboard and mouse, yes. But it was made for an input device like a controller. 

If you want to hate in Microsoft, fine. But at least make it against something worthy of your criticism.

Kill the console. Become a handheld/3rd Party game developer. Everybody wins. 

Just about to start making my purchases for my new gaming rig. Of course, the trickiest part for me is picking my GPU. I want something that will handle current games great @1080p/60fps, while also being capable with the wave of "next gen" titles hitting the PC. My budget allows for around $250 to spend on the GPU, which puts me right at the 760/7950 range. 

So which one is the better pick? Will I notice the difference at all? Should I factor in Physx into the equation? I hope to SLI these once a drop in performance is noticed, and my PSU will "only" be 750w, so will either be more efficient power wise for SLI/XFIRE

Another concern I have is memory size. Was reading an article from eurogamer where they discuss "future-proofing" your gaming PC. Given the next gen consoles (specifically the PS4) access to 5-6 GB of GDDR5 memory, a graphics card with low amounts of GDDR5 may see a performance hit in the near future. Does this really have any merit? Given the 7950's access to 3GB of GDDR5, should this automatically give the Radeon card the nod?

Am I overthinking this and should just pick one and run with it?

BTW, the rest of my rig will be an i5 4670k, 8gig DDR 1600 RAM, 750w PSU, AsRock Extreme 3 Z87 board.
