Can't wait. You've been putting out some great videos lately by the way, good stuff.... Though I do get some weird looks when people walk past my desk and wonder why some guy on a Faggio is getting shot at by cops listening to 'I like to party'...
I'm holding off getting it myself. I enjoyed 2012 in spite of its bugs and frame-rate issues but I see little reason to update to 2013 from all of the preview footage I've seen.
Plus the fact that this isn't next gen has kind of turned me off it a bit, I was looking forward to some next gen F1.
Personally, I think the retro cars are a waste of development time. I think they could expand on the F1 experience significantly by introducing some elements of team management such as designing your own car, taking a team from the back of the grid to a front runner, introduce telemetry for those who love data etc.
The game looks good, but as with most yearly releases, it's mostly the same old same old!
If men like this wish to objectify women, that is their choice (freedom of expression etc.). The choice of the consumer is not to promote or buy the product.
I don't find that seeing a sexy computer game character adds anything to the game for me, but that's not to say that we should restrict how people can or can't express themselves.
The anger over 'Feminism' comes from the word itself and how it has been hijacked. Doesn't it seem odd to you that the expression for gender equality refers to the female orientation? People have become alienated with the expression because it implies that women have a right to get 'one-up' on men.
Issues like this would exist far less if we started coming at this from the same side of the fence. "Gender Equality" is paramount - we look out for women, women look out for us.
The problem now is that EVERY time a woman wears something more revealing in a game it is deemed offensive and derogatory. Don't like it? Don't play it.
I am not a fan of it myself (I don't like 'sexy' action stuff, I prefer to keep it separate), but that doesn't mean that other people's desires (i.e. to enjoy the sexy action stuff) should be stunted because someone is "offended".
Since when has depicting women as the ultimate desire fantasy for men been offensive?
Women are more than just T&A, we men know that, but that does not mean that men in general should not be allowed to appreciate aesthetically pleasing women.
