A special episode dedicated to the ongoing phenomenon known as “Gamergate.” It’s evolved from an important need for transparency in the coverage of gaming news to legitimate attacks against outspoken female game developers.
One of those people is Brianna Wu, game developer at Giant Spacekat and creator of Revolution 60.
Wu was forced from her home because of GamerGaters and is speaking out about an organization that is ‘ruining her life.’
VGS also speak's to Jennifer Allaway, a social researcher whose data was sullied by the group and she fought back by examining the formation of different hate groups and it’s relation to Gamergate.
It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.
The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.
Scrawl: "Looks like we know how that new Compile Heart countdown is going to end. The latest issue of Famitsu has confirmed that Agarest Senki 2, known as Record of Agarest War 2 in the US, is Compile Heart’s newest title."
1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.
If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).
Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.
Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.
@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.
I approve of this god damn message.
Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.
There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.
Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.
Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
This is not the first time that Bless Online receives a server merge in Korea. An announcement was made on the official Korean site.
Bless must be an amazing game to be on all these platforms (according to the tags): iPad iPhone Nintendo DS PC PS Vita PS2 PS3 PS4 PSP Wii Wii U Xbox Xbox 360 Xbox One
Absolutely discusting and pathetic human beings. That said they aren't part of gamergate and if they associate themselves with it, get the f@#@ out. You don't belong. My understanding of gamergate is asking for better standards and trancparency from journalists. Women and any other minority group should never be disciminated against. They (we) all have a place in video games.
These virgins need to get laid.
Honest question: what games has Wu made?
Story quality: WTF
Did you like this website: No
I don't know how many times this needs to be said. The actions of a few do not represent the actions and beliefs of the many. And secondly, there is no proof what so ever that these harassers (which I, like most gamergaters, don't condone) are from gamergate.
You know what kind of person constantly tries to derail the conversation and talk about misogyny instead? Someone that knows their argument is bigotted and full of holes and would crumble if held up to the slightest bit of criticism. These SJWs are running scared and desperately trying to censor the conversation.
Another website going on my 'never give them hit, ever' list.
"legitimate attacks" is poor wording?
