Censors and all that other Chitchat

With lately so many talk about for an example;
  • Censors in The Last of Us and other games. 
  • Female characters in games are stereotype.
I decided to share my opinion on this stupid talk.
Now before i start i want to point out this is my opinion so if you don't agree good but don't bitch about it here.

First i want to start on Censors, are the bad or good and how much should we care about their existence.

So some time back there was a discussion on the censor of the EU The Last of Us multiplayer in which the EU version did not have dismemberment and exploding heads, unlike it's US version.
Now when i read this i felt that it was stupid since the game still looks freaking gori in the singleplayer.
So why should the multiplayer not have the same fgore level and why can't we choose the level of gore ourselves.
But at the other hand i was not bothered too much about it unlike most comments i read where people went ape-shit and cryde like baby's (pardon my language :P)
There was not really much reason to any way because the game is still that same and i still freaking love it.
The fun the multiplayer gave me did not get less fun because the gore level.

But there is one thing i do wish and that is that PlayStation will let us choose our own gore level.
Like the parent control function we have as an example.

Do i find censors bad?
Yes i hate censors, there is more gore on a modern horror movie than most games have.
Also germany is great country but there censor rules are fucked up.
We do get to gut centaurs (GoW:ascension) or shoot a crowd of innocent people (COD:MW2) but we can't have exploding heads and body parts flying around us.
That just makes no sense.

Thats mine!!

Now for the 2de topic stereotypes.
As we all know in every country there is a small group of people that complain about something so much that is blown up.
We here in the Netherlands now have this stupid group of people complaining about our traditional festival Sinterklaas.
No idea what i am talking about google it.

Now in the game world we have the discussion about stereotype female characters.
Both Bioshock Infinite and The Last of Us had also some mixed comments on this topic.
One GameSpot editor was even was talking how Elie from The Last of Us was stereotype and she managed to piss of allot of people including me for spiting horsshit and trying to justify it.

Now i do agree that most of our female game character are stereotype but i don't care one tiny bit about it.
Is it because i am male?
No, that's just stupid.

Also look at the average female gamers, the don't play my little pony or hannah montana.
The play the same games male gamers play and the probably don't care like the rest of us.
And also probably even find games like my little pony or hannah montana more insulting to female gamers.

It's always that small group that is bothered by stereotype female characters and is crying so hard that it looks like a world topic.
There are even some people that complain about games that try to set both male and female character in more realistic sunlight instead making them stereotype.

Now should female characters be less stereotype?
Yes, but games with stereotype characters should also exist in my opinion.

Now with this all shared what is your opinion?

Playstation TV Review

Also known as PSVita TV Review The Playstation TV is the way to play your favorite PSVita and Playstation classic's on the tv. Or use it as an add-on device for the PS4 to continue playing in different room if you're banished from the other one. While this sound great, sadly the PSTV is not perfect. There are enough games that have yet to get PSTV support. And if you're new to the PSVita environment don't expect to play Gravity Rush or Tearaway on the PSTV. The PSTV only support games for the PSVita that don't use or barely use the touch options of the PSVita. There are allot of things that the PSTV could support but isn't getting for now. One of those options is to play WipEout 2048 on the PSTV. While I understand that WipEout 2048 has motion controls. They don't need be there to play WipEout 2048 on the PSTV. Games like Olli Olli don't even have proper menu controls and require the use of the R3 of the Dualshock 3 and 4 or the use of t...

Thoughts of Persona 4 Arena

P4U Arrange Soundtrack EU Cover Even when i am one of the sooo many europeans that had to wait for this game to release 9 month later than the US i am still happy that it did came here. Now i could be mad and not buy the game as a response to the late release but that won't do me any good and won't do the creators and publisher any good as well. My way to show to them that they should release their games faster is to show how much i want there games. But enough about that. What are my thoughts of the game? Well there are really positive although there are still a few things i think that should have been done different. The Training mode is probably one of the best things in this game. Since it is a great way for new players to this genre or more familiar to understand the basic's of this fighter. Also this is great way to get the feel of the controls. But one thing about the controls could be startling to players is that the controls are described as like ...

LBP Karting Beta experience

The  Little Big Planet Karting Beta has ended. But the time i had the chance to play it was wonderful, even wen i had not much time for it. The game surprised me how well it worked and that it still felt so much like a Little Big Planet game. It has many customization options and also a nice set of vehicles that felt different but where no different from any other type in speed or grip. The level editor looked like the one from Modnation racers but more free to edit and move around through. Well i wont talk more about it sins i am just like you waiting for the release of  Little Big Planet Karting for my PS3. But sins i love to use wallpapers of a game that still needs to be released i made 3 wallpaper of the only 2 screenshot i made. enjoy them for your personal use and plz fav them on DeviantArt that would be really appreciated LBP Karting Beta Wallpaper  for PS3 and PC (1920x...
