On the flip side why is uncharted at #47? Should polygon have given it a big boost up the ranking for its representation of women? They gave it the same review score as Prey, and a 0.5 higher score than Neir.Full name is Aaron James Judge…he and his older brother were both adopted…graduated from Linden High School (Calif.) in 2010.Played baseball for three seasons at Fresno State, where he was a three-time All-Conference first team selection and a 2013 All-America honoree…in his three years, hit. Is polygon setting a bad example for game devs on how they should respond to feminist criticism? Do they think devs should just publicly ignore what feminist critics say and just keep doing whatever they got criticized for anyways, like polygon just did? Why wouldn't a progressive website like polygon listen to the feminist criticism of their Zelda review and do better this time by ranking zelda as really low, like #50, and then in the text say the game would be #1 if the game didn't have tired, sexist plot devices, and represented its female characters better? Isn't that what a site that really cared about how women are represented would do? If you were participating in their list making, would you suggest they do that? If what femfreq tweeted about Zelda reviews is correct, does ranking Zelda #1 show that polygon still doesn't give a damn about how women are represented in games? Should they get a lot of criticism for this? Thoughts on a free-to-play mobile gacha game being #20? Especially one that kotaku keeps describing as 'a horny casino'? Thoughts on Everything? I haven't heard much discussion on it, but Polygon thinks it is #9. How many of these have you played? Any you haven't played yet, but want to soon? Thoughts on this list? Anything ranked too low or too high? Anything not ranked that should be, or is ranked but shouldn't be? How can we knowingly escape to fantasy worlds when there’s just so much work to be done in the real one?Īre we really escaping when we play games? Or are we learning, experimenting abd taking control of ourselves? Are we learning to experience life not as we know, but as those around us experience it? Are we gaining empathy and camaraderie and relief?
This pleasure can come with a pang of guilt. Who couldn’t use that escape? Fantastical worlds in collapse certainly feel more manageable than our own, where there seem to be few heroes and endless villains. With the help from some noise-canceling headphones, the bus or the subway or the plane or the entire world can now disappear. Video games have been a bright spot in a bleak year.Įarly in 2017, we got the Switch, which made it all the more easy to take our hobby wherever we’d like.
