I agree. It's funny, not long ago I was in a discussion with someone about racism. This person called me a racist, I didn't know black people, and I wasn't sincere to their needs, yada yada yada. After a little back & forth, I finally let this person know, I am black. Comments stopped. I go back to read those comments and I laugh. 
It's sad that some people want everyone to change just for them. 
No game is realistic. They are all fantasy. When playing a game, you are pretending to be the hero (or whatever) of the story. None of it is real. The decisions I make in a game aren't going to affect my everyday life. Since it has no affect, I can play around with different decisions and enjoy the outcome. I can't put down the controller and turn off the console of my real life. That's the main difference.
Most games don't have you decide anything. You play through the role given to the end. The games that have you decide to do A, B, or C, add replay value to the to the story. For people that want a story a bit different the next playthrough, this is great. I don't see this as a downside.
I don't understand how having multiple decisions and outcomes is lazy writting. IMO, that's very difficult. The author(s) has to account for all the decisions the player was allowed to make and create an ending based on those decisions.
I agree with you, Tami. Damn shame we can't tar & feather his ass just for fun. 
You have to change virtual discs? That's crazy.
Yeah, after posting this blog, staying constant here has been easier.
I bought all 3 Xenosaga games last year. If I wasn't playing so much Fallout, I could give more playtime to Xenosaga. I really don't like to play more than one rpg at a time.
My first gaming experience was Pong (Atari 2600). It was 1982 and I was 4.
can't argue with that.
I just wonder if you receive the achievement after a situtation, like; there are 2 people that need rescuing. 1 person is your best friend, Steve, and the other is your ex-girlfriend, Stacy, who cheated on you with a god or something. You choose to save Steve and BAM, "Bros before Hoes" achievement pops up. :D
It is juvenile, but still funny. I can understand it annoying people though. We're suppose to be more adult. Gamers have a bad enough rep as it is. In the achievement's defense though, it is in a God of War game. It's not like it's Heavy Rain.
I would like to add that some women want to be rescued. It's an old fashioned statement, but I've heard women use it. Just look at our other forms of media. Books, television/movies, hell, even music.... Stuff written by women that have women being rescued. How is videogames any different? Should men not rescue women at all? Is it sexism or is it a story model being done to death?
