Yes, We Need More Women of Colour As Game Protagonists.
More games like Forspoken, please! I have just read the article by Ash Parrish on Kotaku: Sorry, Your Cis White Woman Protagonist Isn’t Progressive. As you can already predict, I very much do agree with what she wrote, and I want to add something a bit personal to what has already been said. Firstly, I’ll like to admit that as a trans woman I’m pretty much satisfied with a video game as long as it has a primary female protagonist for me to play as, regardless of ethnicity. This also includes games with customizable characters that let you choose your gender. As someone who grew up with games mainly featuring cis men, I have been absolutely delighted with the rush of new AAA games that star women protagonists like Returnal. Once I started my transition, I got annoyed by seeing game after game only having a…
Trying Out Stadia Pro: It Works Great But It’s Not Ideal.
Game streaming as a whole is circling the drain. In case you haven’t heard, Google Stadia is offering persons with a Gmail account the privilege of a free two month trial of Stadia Pro. They even give you games to play along with signing up for the service. And what better time to try Stadia now that everyone is home because of the coronavirus pandemic. Stadia’s reputation has been low since the beginning because of how weakly it had launched on both a gaming and technical perspective. And of course, there were also those people that just wanted Google Stadia to fail to prevent the day where we will no longer own our games and just stream them from the cloud. Admittingly, I was also on that side of a fence as well (kind of) as I too like owning my games, and even though we can argue…
I Want To Love GeForce Now But It Lacks Too Many Games.
No God Eater? No Deal. Geforce Now is a cloud game streaming service that allows you to use a virtual PC from Nvidia’s servers to stream and play games you already own on other platforms. Not to be confused with the functionality of Google Stadia and Microsoft’s Project xCloud which don’t let you stream games you already own. GeForce Now has been making headlines in gaming news for some not-so-good reasons, albeit it not being its fault. Ever since Geforce Now came out of beta after being well received by users, publishers and developers have been removing their games from the platform left and right. Rightfully so, it has many users upset. The list of developers and publishers who have dropped out are: 2K Games Rockstar Games Activision Blizzard Bethesda Capcom Square Enix Source: These are all the publishers pulling out of Nvidia’s GeForce Now …
Sunset Overdrive on PC Is A Broken, Unoptimized Port.
Refunded after 30 minutes. Right now there is an Xbox Game Studios Publisher sale on Steam. Among the games on sale is Sunset Overdrive, a game I’ve had in my wishlist for a while. I wasn’t really interested in it when it hit Steam back in 2018, but that changed when I noticed it had been tagged as having character customization and that it was also made by the studio behind Marvel’s Spider-man on the PS4. I recently got my gaming computer running since moving to Canada and sure enough, I’m ready to try out some new games after being without my computer for a couple of months (even if it’s not powerful). In fact, I’ve been deciding on buying One Step From Eden, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice and Devil May Cry 5. For now, I’ve been spending most of my time in Titanfall 2, and with the coronavirus…
