I'm super interested in seeing what Nintendo removes to create a cheaper SKU. Not included a dock or rumble makes a lot of sense. I don't see them having a lot of options beyond that without getting into an area where some of there major first party titles would be unplayable on the system, which sounds like a messaging nightmare. I'm specifically thinking about this in the context of Super Mario Party being literally unlaunchable without removable joycons. I know there were a few games that came out that only worked on New 3DS, but those all came out after the launch of the new SKU so they were able to make the messaging clear on the box. In this case, Super Mario Party is already on store shelves, saying its for the switch. Unless they recall all those games so they can print new boxes to make something like that clear, I don't see how they can get around a messaging issue like this.

@liquidprince: Jordan Peterson is absolute fucking garbage and he has nothing of value to say about any topic. He is a vile shitbag preying on the insecurities of white men who can't stand to see the world changing around them and can't understand why their views aren't just accepted as reality anymore to make millions. If you believe a word he says or think he has even a single good point, you should never have started this thread because you are too fucking brainwashed about women and feminism to ever have anything resembling a reasonable discussion. It's great that you posted those videos though so now we can drop all pretenses that you weren't, from the start, trying to shame a women for having an opinion, because regardless of any other opinions put forth in this thread, it's clear that's all you were ever really after.

Just out of curiosity, how did you come to the conclusion that the best way to show you aren't a misogynist was to post multiple videos of a well known misogynist and to go on a rant about "what feminism has become"? Might I suggest that a better option would have been shut up, stop listening to shitty white dudes who make you feel good, actually listen to the people who have gone to great lengths to try to explain it and read a even single fucking word about modern feminism from an actual modern day feminist.

You can view things through an impartial unbiased lens.

No, you absolutely 100% can not and it is laughable that you think your view that "everything is good in this game and Abby tried to ruin it for no reason" is apolitical or unbiased, because it sure as hell presents like you hate the fact that a women had a view about women and you had to go and mansplain how she was wrong and "just didn't get it". You are a misogynist, hands down. It is literally not possible to have the view you do about Abby and her opinion and not be. Please just accept that fact and go hang out on kotoku in action. I'm sure all their gamergate lite bullshit will be much more to your liking and you'll never have to worry about those damn women stepping out of their place and having takes about video games ever again.

@liquidprince: YES IF HE WAS GAY IT WOULD STILL BE FRIDGING. Gay characters being fridged is as big, if not slightly bigger of an issue within the discourse around this sort of thing and the fact that you brought that up as if it made your point proves that you don't know what you are talking about and you have no real place in this conversation because you are coming from a place of bad faith and you have bad views. If you want to go back to talking about being wrong, you are wrong, you have been wrong since your first post and you will continue to always be wrong because you have no interest at all in understanding why anyone doesn't feel the same way you do.

@liquidprince: And your argument is weak because your argument has always been and will always be "the game said _____ and I think that's fine because I don't understand the discourse around female characters at all and I think women should be quiet and learn their place in games criticism, now just shut up and agree with me."

@liquidprince: Glad you admitted that the only reason you started this thread is because you didn't like that Abby dared level a very, very valid criticism against a game you like.

AGAIN, this is a very well established and heavily written about and discussed criticism of this game and it is a real problem, whether you are able to see it or not. Now that you've admitted it, can you please stop being a misogynistic jerk?

Maybe the nuances of language escape you, but telling people that I think they misunderstood something isn't the same as me telling everyone they're wrong. I made a claim, supported with what I thought was reasonable evidence and then left it open for discussion. I didn't name the thread, "You're all idiots and obviously don't understand how God of Wars treatment of women."

The only difference between that title and the actual title that you chose to give this thread is that in the actual title "you're all idiots" is only implied by telling anyone who disagrees with you that they have a fundamental misunderstanding.

@liquidprince: What??? You named the thread "A Fundamental misunderstanding of the female characters of god of war". You don't get to claim that you "never once said that anyone is incorrect in feeling however they do" because you literally did it in the thread title!!! Do you seriously not understand that the reason people keep telling you that it is "just your opinion" is because you started from a place of telling people that their opinions are wrong?

@liquidprince: It literally is "Just your opinion" though and it can never and will never be anything more. That's the whole point. No one is dismissing your right to feel a certain way about the female characters in this game. On the other hand, you have spent this entire thread trying to explain to other people why the way they feel is incorrect and defending your take on the women in this game as though it is the only reasonable and valid way to feel. Ever post you write has the tone of speaking down to the person you are responding to and it really, truly seems like you think anyone posting to disagree with you is stupid.

And to be honest, your defenses of your position are extremely weak. Most of the boil down to "they justified that in the game, you must just not have been paying attention". But for myself and, it seems, a lot of the people disagreeing with you in this thread, our problem isn't that we missed the justification or that we just weren't smart enough to understand it, our problem is that we wish the writers had done a better job of writing those characters so that those justifications were not necessary.
