As in VJ is not 'pervy' (you must have voyeurism on the brain or something) and GTA3 is, and yet people never complain even about the level of that in GTA3, let alone a totally different and hardly voyeuristic (above the usual BEING ABLE TO SEE THE GAMEPLAY) game to VJ.

1) You are commenting on parts of the game, consequentially THE game.
2) You haven't played it
3) You are making pointless assumptions
4) You haven't played it. Ad nauseum.....

It is the same argument yes and I do think that GTA3 is ever so slightly pervy because of all the prostitutes. I don't see how reminding me of another pervy game strengthens your point? If anything else I think it proves my point that there are a lot of pervy games and I don't like playing them.

No.

"comment on a game" I am not commenting on THE game I am commenting on certain aspects of the game that I believe to be terribly bad and I dislike. I am not commenting on the game as a whole just saying that if it is as bad as the things I have rated it on in all the other areas then it's a pretty crappy game.

I take me seriously.

I know you didn't say it, but it's the same argument, and in context with GTA3 it makes it seem even more absurd.

Stop saying 'you tool'.

READ THIS:

"You have no right to comment on a game as such, UNLESS you have played it"

Well obviously, you have the right too, but nobody takes you seriously.

I do think GTA is pervy for having prostitutes. Idiot. When did I say I didn't? You assumed I didn't and tried to put words into my mouth. Such a tool **rolls eyes**

So GTA isn't pervy for having prostitutes?

You obviously don't realise the nature of the game if one of your main sticking points is how much like a Power Ranger he looks.

Idiot.

Realise? Yes. Respect? No.

As for saying every game is voyeuristic technically that comment by whoever said it is true but what I was trying to say was that watching your character from behind trees in the woods and so on just looks, sounds and feels like a pervy thing to do. Other games don't do that though...well most of them don't before you all go giving me a list of obscure game names.

Interesting.

You don't seem to realise it's a semi-homage and satire at the same time do you?

I think your comment about being a 'voyeur' summed up your argument succinctly. If thats's the case, then er, every single game is voyeuristic.............

If you haven't played the game you have no right to comment on it in such the way you have done.

Simple.

Didn't say i disliked variation, said I disliked that variation.

Never heard of Vib Ribbon, Rez is mundane in my opinion and I did actually play that game. Meh.

Or Blink 182
