Pretty much this. I enjoy a good story, I always have. I've always watched cutscenes, I've always followed story lines. The cognitive dissonance he exhibits in his statements, are truly astounding. Men are all unrealistically portrayed, right along with women...but they're sexist against women? Nobody else is picking up on this?
Here's the thing, as with books, movies, music and other forms of media, there's a desire for realism, a desire for more grounded characters, and a desire for story. There's ALSO a desire for fantasy, to be a hero (or heroine), to engage in an unrepentant bloodbath the likes of which you'll only see in 80's action flicks, and everything in between. Nobody's saying you can't create any game you want (except those who want to wail and scream everytime GTA launches). All people are saying is, let developers/writers develop games. Let the people decide what they want. Period. And anyone who wants to try and step in the way of that freedom of expression, deserves to be ground under the proverbial bootheel, and forgotten as a footnote in history.
