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.

you cant make 80s style action movies anymore, they are just to bloddy for the cinema nowadays, people would go batshit crazy over the violence in robcop.

Sure you can, Stallone did it.  Like it or not, the new Rambo was actually pretty warmly received and there's certainly some evidence to suggest that one of Stallone's lines in the movie became a rallying cry for some in Myanmar, to effect change.  Like them or not, the Expendables movies entertained some.  Did they set the charts on fire?  No.  But, that's Stallone and the studios problem.  He wanted to make them, and he did.  The system works.


the new rambo was good, but he had alot less direct violence than the others. (the violence is used  way better, its more like a real war movie in alot of parts and not like a 80s action movie, and i like it) and the expendables were modern action movies.

do you realy think they could get away with something like
