M/1 Review
Well, I ended up reading the whole article. It's pretty interesting actually. And the part about how society doesn't accept rape in videogames because "The representation of "bad things" in fiction matches up pretty well to the justification of those "bad things" in real life. " kinda makes sense and never thought about it that way to be honest.
But eitherway, what I think is not really related to that. I think that I don't see the problem of including rape in videogames because murder is included and completely natural so "rape is worse than murder" is not something that should be said, even in fiction. Again, I understand why most people and society in general think that way, I just don't agree with that.
Sometimes, there's nothing wrong with including rape in videogames if you are willing to accept other "wrong" themes. For example, games like Silent Hill 2 uses rape as a plot device because if you want to make a game(or a movie, or a novel or anything) with a deep psycological narrative, sex is most likely going to be a key element of the story(regardless it's explicit or just hinted like in SH2).
I think you agree with me(judging by the article) that murder, torture and rape are equally bad in fiction(in the sense that we sholdn't find horrific rape but murder okay). Where I guess we disagree is in the part that they shouldn't be included. I think I'm more into the "if it's fiction it doesn't matter" troop because if you want to write a story about humans and the psicological effect they go trough in fiction, sex should not be omitted(or murder, or torture). I'm not saying it's necessary to include them. I'm saying including them shouldn't be seen as "wrong". If the game portrayed it poorly that's an entirely different thing, because a bad storyteller will write poorly regardless he/she is writing about rape or fieldtrips.

I really don't see the big deal of portraying rape in a videogame considering murder, suicide and other dark themes are way more common and taken way less seriously.
I agree that most of the time it's handled poorly, but that's another thing. Murder is very rarely taken seriously in gaming. Although, you could argue that a victim from rape could play a game like this and feel offended by something like this but to be honest, someone who went trough a traumatic experience like that shouldn't play a game like this.
Let's be real here, it's just that it's a western thing as if sex didn't exist and when something in media is about rape or whatever, it's instantly polemic. Hell, this review is proof to that(look at the amount of responses in this review for a game with less than 30 downloads).
What I mean is that when something like rape is used for narrative purposes it's usually seen as something horrible and that the developers should be ashamed of. Or at the very least it's polemic. Regardless it's handled perfectly or not.
And by the way, I'm someone who has seen victims of rape more than once.

Soul Sunder Review
You are my hero nhubi, your reviews always express what my lack of english fluidity doesn't.
All in all, great review for a great game.

Cool review. It would have been nice to have a conclusion to wrap things up, since I'm still not sure of your overall view of the game (was it good? average? terrible?), and summing up what parts of the review were most important to remember about the game.
"Good for gameplay, loot.
Less so for story, characters. "
I guess that sums up pretty well.
Enelysion Review
Nhubi's review wasn't enough. KEEP THROWING POSITIVE STUFF AT YUNA UNTIL VOL II IS DONE!
Awesome review by Addit, although it sounds a bit unfair to compare Enelysion with Tristian since the first had like 2 and a half years of development.

Townlore Review
It's funny, I was not attracted to this game at all but after reading your review I feel like playing it.
I don't know, maybe I'm just part of that group who "like playing some weird trippy shit ".
Anyway, good review ;)

I'm my own Hero Review
Thanks a lot for the review. The game's story wasn't meant to be taken seriously and ,since I had just a week to make the game, there were a lot of things that I would have done better. Or at least I wanted to do better. For example I wanted to draw a battler for the rat but it was complicated and ended up wasting too much time just with the design. So I decided to make 'that' for a battler. I wanted to add more tutorials and the last parts of the game were really rushed.
Also I'm not a native speaker so I probably had a lot of spelling/grammar mistakes.
Anyway, thanks for playing it and writing this review :).

Pokémon Dusk Review
author=Ratty524author=urano23It's not the game, it's the review. It's full of grammatical/spelling errors and is kind of lacking a professional tone. Take this sentence, for instance:author=Ratty524Why not? If you didn't like the game that's your opinion.
Who the fuck approved this review?You know, that city in the original game that had the radio tower, the train station, the giant mall, and had fucking whitney with her fucking miltank.
You need to capitalize names. You did it with Ethan, so why not Whitney and Miltank? Also I generally disapprove of coarse words in reviews, because again, it sounds unprofessional and it adds nothing to this review.
I know English isn't your second language, but you still could have done better in polishing this review.
I guess you are right, I did commit some spelling mistakes and cursing was unnecessary but I honestly wrote this the best I could. I coulnd't have polished this review better because my english knowledge is limited.
I apologise if you felt offended.
