I don't know man, Nintento has changed.
I mean how do to explain W101 being greenlitt?
Kamiya: Hey Iwata, I want make an 3d action game with Nintendo character
Iwata: Can you make it not Nintendo characters?
Kamiya: Sure
Iwata : Will it sale Wiius?
Kamiya: Ask your Mom!
I think the problem is that Nintendo hasn't changed and they would never let their own characters get treated like that. There is no way.
Maragi, and other EU frienders, rejoice!

I wonder if GamersGate are really regretting their choice of name these days.

They had it first too. Poor guys, they sold me a second copy of Dark Souls PC when my GFWL code randomly stopped working.

Wut? Nintendo Inc is the most conservative of games companies.
Nintendo hasn't changed. It's protecting the significant amount of money it holds.
They do so much for one company and I always feel like the core gamers are always disrespectful and oblivious to that.
This is what I thought this entire thing was about.
I still dont understand what GamersGate is.

GG is something like Feminists vs Gamers with a dash of Journalistic integrity, I think?
I'm not even sure any more. I'm glad it's all congregated in one thread instead of clogging up the Gameside forums.
It should be addressed, but those same people call Bayo 2 sexist because of awkward camera angles, so I dont know anymore.
OH MY GOD! A FLOATING SHOPPING LIST!
I will get it after I'm done with the current STM games. I still wish we would get the physical version but I guess this will have to do...

It's part of why I love Ninty, they treat their characters with respect.
Except for Samus, but hopefully that gets better.
Sometimes I feel like an alien in regards to these situations, it's like everyone loves the fanservice and creepy stuff while I just don't at all. Why can't female characters just be.

But why is it called GamerGate?

I always assumed cause of watergate for some reason. They were bith scandals but unlike gamergate, watergate actually mattered.

I believe they thought it was a pretty big scandal, so they ripped off watergate, the biggest scandal in the US.
I'm with you there. Although I don't mind fanservice too much but when it's something on the level of Senran Kagura it just looks awful to me.
But we see much more Nintendo character appearing in other games, this generation more then the last one. I have to agree that they would never throw away their familyfriendly image for some quick money.
Different strokes for different folks, dont feel bad about it.

I joke around about the creepy stuff, and I can enjoy it on a primal level, but I adore good, respected female characters. I have Heather Mason as my recurring avatar for a reason.
Other than Bayonetta, which is a Nintendo game now, what other games?

Monster Hunter 4U is a big one. That's all I can think of though. And that's Monster Hunter.

I believe so, but don't take my word for it.
This is the article in the OP of that thread that's recommended reading.

Their first party games are borderline family friendly. I don't understand why everyone assume Nintendo only care about shit like Lego Batman. 3D Worlds is one of the more difficult Mario games I've ever played.
Just because an artstyle is over saturated or brightly colored doesn't make a game family friendly.

Tekken and sonic lost world.
True, although it's getting cameos from everyone, Sonic and Mega Man are getting in there too.
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 for the Wii U? I didn't know Nintendo characters were in there

Also Pokken Fighters.
That doesn't count, and Pokemon is owned by Game Freak right?

The best summary of Gamergate I can comprehend is that it started off with some suspicious going-ons between review scores and undisclosed relationships, and has quickly spiraled out of control into MRA/Racist death threat land, with the loudest and most obnoxious members taking control of what could have been an interesting discussion to have.
Nope, can't have civility on the internet.

An ex-boyfriend of the creator of Depression Quest wrote a long, angry blog post telling people what a shitty person she is and revealed that she has had relationships with people who reviewed her game positively, which is when people went "Wait a minute, wouldn't that mean that they were naturally inclined to react more positively to her game than they otherwise might have done?"
As you can imagine, rather than a discussion about journalistic integrity, it turned into a shitstorm of epic proportions almost immediately with Tumblr, 4chan and various e-celebrities getting involved in the matter.
It's honestly just top tier levels of celebrity gossip bullshit by now, but with more angry internet people yelling deaththreaths at each other.
I don't use that word as an insult or anything.
To me, it doesn't mean easy. It's the way they present violent or sexual themes.
For example, I consider Monster Hunter Family friendly, even though it contains blood and death in it. Because you kill imaginary Monster and talk to cats.

If the goal was for people to hear about Depression Quest, I certainly did, played it, and I'm disappointed that The bar for publishing games has gone so low.
Presenting sexual and violent themes in a different light doesn't mean that it Doesn't exists.
It's just a big gripe I have with people who discount Nintendo for everything they've done for video games to come back from the grave.

That was never the point. It's just people having vendettas.
The fact this started over one person's personal bullshit and has been going on this whole time just makes it that much more annoying.
I don't even know what the hell depression quest is, but I have a pretty good idea what it might involve with a name and creator like that.

I just wanna say, I fucking love Mitchel and Webb.
Probably the reason I'm never going to be too deeply routed into gaming as a whole. Someone is always going to be complaining about something, while we have books and movies of all different types. (Sexual, non-sexual, violent, non-violent, ect) It seems that having a sexy game, will spell disaster for you.
It coming to the point, where the reason that games can't be considered art, isn't on the creators, but rather the consumers of games being too immature to respect different taste.
I mean, fifty shades of gray and twilight are horrible books. But I never really seen anyone called shit or names for enjoying them. Even when people are ripping them apart, they usually just try to keep it too the book.

I don't believe it ever got published as a game. I would think that it would have been a smarter choice to make it a choose your own adventure book with a free music cd that you can listen to while you read.
Choose your own adventure books need to come back dammit.

Gamergate is just a bunch of assholes being assholes that became a big dicks vs. assholes situation, and not even the sex kind. Just the sad kind.
Seriously? I have and frequently too.

I personally read all of the twilight books and will make fun of anyone for enjoying them, but 50 Shades is just porn. I can't fault you for reading porn. I read porn. If you do it in public that's kinda fucked up, of course.

I've played it twice. Apparently I have to embrace more friends and be more open with people, according to my ending.
It's insulting to me because I have episodes of depression with the shrink bills to prove it, but the very last thing I'd want to do is play a video game that would make me ever more depressed.
But the guy who aired this girl's and their relationship's personal baggage over nothing I hope bad things for. You don't air out dirty laundry in that manner.
