I'd have to raise delusion as well then I'm sorry. Maybe if there's some good hard proof its out of whack, you'd be happy to provide it.

@sheria Fair.
My friends and I were stoked AF for LittleBigPlanet when it originally came out. We never got into the creation side of things, but played the entire campaign together and tried out tons of community made stuff.
Like you said, a lot of it ends up being complete trash, but when you find some really good stuff you can't help but appreciate how much hard work must have gone into it.
Plus bomb survival levels were some of the most fun I had cooping with my buddies.

I'm going to admit something, I did actually have a time when I enjoyed sharing creations. I studied C++ in college and we made a wealth of funny programs to share with one another. I also made a number of Mario based games with a friend using Klik & Play. I just cant get on board with the whole online thing, it's just too intimate.

@sheria You don't see how the objectification and exploitation of girls has to do with rampant sexual harassment in the workplace and rape culture in a broader sense?

There's a place for objectification on both ends, be it Showgirls or Magic Mike, both examples have more than their place in entertainment. Women enjoy seeing hot men and men like to see sexy girls, that's just playing to nature.

Do I think any of the recent examples of censorship have any correlation with ongoing sexual harassment? Of course I don't.

I rewatched Men Behaving Badly and the first two series of Harry Enfield and Chums. Absolutely hilarious. 90's humour never gets old.

Youtube Video

To be honest, I called that. Feared into a corner by a current, short lived, social climate. I'm sorry, but I don't see how encouragement for women to come forward to report sexual harassment has anything to do with videogames. You could attempt to try and paint some big picture about how it's all intricately involved, but it just speculation at its finest.

I'm on chapter 6 of Blue Reflection, a game I really shouldn't have dropped.

I've a few niggles so far: While the opening chapters are very strong, it did soon drift into a lot of repetition. Overall, the pacing isn't very good and in some ways, I could see it turning people off. The other issue lies in the design, in that it's far too easy to break the game. Now this is all down to the player, but a limitation to the social mechanics seen in the likes of Persona could have easily remedied the problem, as it is now, you can abuse the ability to bond with your friends to become way too over powered.
Thankfully the setting, characters, robust battle system and a nice new twist on the magical girl genre keeps you invested.

I sent my list in :)

I hope I'm correct in assuming that an opening episode of an episodic series is eligible?

@sheria

Why?

I just never could get behind the concept. Maybe not exactly the same, but I grabbed Little Big Planet when it came out and I just couldn't ever see the appeal with creating and sharing online. You get the odd, mildly impressive thing out of it that gets spammed on youtube, but I found these types of things have you just shovelling through so much trash.

I'm here for playing games though, not making them and I just see creation tools more as software than actual games.

Not even worth a penny for me. "the game" looks daft.

I compiled huge lists of exclusive games for the Wii and blogged about them to convince myself that console wasn't a huge garbage fire.

The Wii has a fantastic selection of exclusives though.
