Re: OGW Q&A with David Rosen
Sweet, maybe this will calm people down who claim there aren't enough updates on the game

Re: Polygon gives Beyonetta 2 a 7.5 because of sexualization
The trick is that it's not, indeed, female 'gamers'. That denotes a specific subculture. This is about people who play games, at least sometimes, and includes social games, casual games and so on. I think that, like femanism, gaming should break down into several sub categories and be treated as su...

Re: Polygon gives Beyonetta 2 a 7.5 because of sexualization
How about this then? http://www.dailydot.com/geek/adult-women-largest-gaming-demographic/ "Women over 18 made up a whopping 36 percent of the gaming population, followed by adult men at 35 percent." Alright, i think there's a huge difference between legitimate gaming (PC / console / handh...

Re: Polygon gives Beyonetta 2 a 7.5 because of sexualization
Game prices seem to be going down - full 50-60$ titles aren't as dominant as they used to be. Nope: http://www.statista.com/statistics/201093/revenue-of-the-us-video-game-industry/ "The statistic contains data on the total retail revenue of the U.S. video game industry. In February 2014, the r...

Re: Polygon gives Beyonetta 2 a 7.5 because of sexualization
1) About 50% of all gamers are women. Currently, women don't play AAA titles as much as they play casual and mobile games. That means there's a huge untapped market in there, and so there's lots of money involved in there. What makes you think a whole demographic would just suddenly move from their...

Re: Polygon gives Beyonetta 2 a 7.5 because of sexualization
I don't think the game should get points off for over sexualization of women in games. In fact, I'm going to take it a step further and say that they shouldn't get any flak for misrepresenting women in games at all. Why do people expect that games, made by men, predominantly for men, should represen...

Re: Attack's target
Though this doesn't often happen because you're not usually amongst piles of dead bodies in mid combat, I do agree and i'm sure the devs have thought about this as well. Probably not top priority though

Re: [a207 Discussion] Stealth AI
I think it's way better now. Yep, I agree. Also, anyone here play Metal Gear? It's my personal favorite stealth game, it would be really neat if a similarly behaving AI was in this game. But rather than having a definitive line between being spotted and being hidden, there should be some grey area,...

Re: I regret everything.
Glad to see the wolfire community isn't full of whiteknights who would defend this hypocrite Zoe for the shit she pulled. Feminism isn't so much the focus of the rage going on about this, although it is a key piece; it's more about how easily one can tamper with the integrity of gaming journalism, w...

Re: Alpha 207 Not Supported on my OS?
i believe that updating the game through sumluancher for alpha 206/207 breaks the game due to some changes of the game struc by the developers. try manually downloading the new alpha and try running the game again. edit: i also am on mac os x mavericks latest version and can run this alpha perfectl...

Alpha 207 Not Supported on my OS?
Hello all. First off, i am using OS X 10.9.3 Recently, i have downloaded the latest overgrowth update through SUMlauncher, i expected it to be alpha 206, but rather, it stated that i was on alpha 207, so i don't know if that has anything to do with it, or if i have an unofficial alpha. But when i tr...

Re: Sudden surge of spam
They don't do it themselves. They use a macro system. Otherwise called a "bot". It's a piece of software that generates an account and content "appropriate" to the location they are invading. Yes, this is what i assumed but there was effort put into making this bot...for what? W...
