I am seriously trying to play and enjoy FFVII, but I find it hard to even keep playing it. I cannot believe how much people like this game.

Is there a way to resolve and eliminate piracy?
BlueBlur91: Well demos are for attracting potential buyers aren't they?
And yes, Steam is a breakthrough in the video-game retailer's market. But downloading digital media, while full of pros, still has it's cons.
You can't resell the game you bought. Nothing will ever beat owning a physical copy of something you absolutely love.
More on the first con though, when people found out Steam's (possibly) upcoming console Steambox, and the new XboX, will require constant internet connection to verify your games, people flipped out. The pro of buying physical copies is being able to resell them. And having to go online to tell the console "This game is mine and mine only forever" makes people angry.

frankhaggar972: Only being able to download a game three times. Once again , Valve trumpfs over EA in the Digital Download market. Pircay is wrong yes but it can spread stuff very easy and make potential new buyers. Though I still think in it´s current form is kinda....messed up.

About to do some more record testing when THIS happens!
darkhyrulelord: That rare moment when the player has more blast processing than the game itself.
WestCoastGamer92: *Goofy holler*
BlueBlur91: Ahaha I wish that was the case! What an achievement that would be!
Sadly, I think it's just a case of the developers using the fully-programmed helicopter as a background visual, resulting in me impacting the "grabbing point" of the helicopter, which made me stick to it and it carrying me off the course, into death '-.-

GreenHattedHero: i watched the video over and over and it looks like sonic never let go of the helicopter. it looks like the helicopter took him off screen and into a whole ... crazy :D good thing you got that on video XD nice one mang
GreenHattedHero: I think what happen was that you was going at a speed that was equal to the sum of the speed needed to active the helicopter later on making the game think you as at the point that you needed the helicopter so it spawned it and when sonic let go he was facing the whole... in short you was going faster then the game could handle and it glitched

Many people claim video games are sexist towards women. Why is that?
blackmaniac: huh, Cammys Ass, huh huh, Deeper, huh huh
darkhyrulelord: I will admit that some games out there are sexist, but some people take it a bit too far.
BlueBlur91: I totally agree with you on the Samus thing. Truly, just look at the first comment page.
And as I said, there are games that are sexist. But my point is that people label things as sexist that aren't. I AM aware that there are games that actually are sexist. It's when people label all games as sexist where I cry foul, because they're not

Lord Moe: I understand that. the difference is that, again, the males are made to cater toward the males. Sure, ithey're unrealistic, but at least it's something good. You can play as a badass space marine and say "sure it's an unrealistic representation but at least it's cool to play as a badass space marine."
with women, the overwhelming majority of female characters fall flat when appealing to females. most of the time the women just serve as either objects to be won or objects to drool over. Very rarely do we get characters like The Boss from Metal Gear Solid or Heather Mason who can serve as role models without being overtly sexualized or objectified. Those characters are, incidentally, realistically attractive women.
To make myself more clear, it would be a fair comparison if male characters were made for males and female characters are made for females, but it's not that way. For the vast, and I mean vast, majority, both sexes are designed for male gamers in mind. It's easy to point out "well hey most gamers are male" but the demographics are changing every day and we forget how big the female gaming demographic is.
On a slightly unrelated note, people like to say that Samus was ruined with the whole sexualized Zero Suit thing going on. While I generally tend to agree, let's also remember that the "reward" for beating the original Metroid with a good time was seeing Samus in a swim suit...

BlueBlur91: I can't blame your friend, at all. My girlfriend feels the same way about most games I play.
SkullGirls IS sexist, DoA IS sexist. exploiting "wardrobe malfunctions" etc. to give men a sexual thrill, and I totally get that girls and women dislike stuff like that. In fact, I'm completely aware they do. This blog is more about me feeling that it's extremely unfair to label an entire media, which I happen to like, as something it's not.
And you're right, anyone can alter their appearance, if only to feel a bit better about themselves, a little confidence boost. But put what I said in context. When someone who does alter their appearance states something like "This product gives this man a fake view of what women actually look like", it IS a case of the kettle calling the pot black. At the end of the day, people like feeling good about themselves. So when people that are self concious (and let's be fair, many many people are) start finding a tiny little detail that makes them feel bad about something, and essentially make a mountain out of a molehill (like the case is with Peach), that's not the game offending you. That's you being offended by something that isn't there. While things like SkullGirls exist, you should critique them, because at the end of the day, that's blatantly obvious and the game and creators are highly aware of it.
