I don't know if DNF even qualifies as AAA. Maybe if we count all its iterations since the 90s it cost a lot. But the game that was actually released certainly doesn't seem to be of AAA caliber, that particular iteration can't have been expensive to produce and can't have cost that much for Take Two to acquire outside the IP's own value. That's probably part of why it was profitable.

Was Forever even a success?
it was a success in terms of sales; it definitely made money. it was a critical failure but financial success I don't know about that, bringing in $1 more than what it cost would technically be profitable, but the company certainly wouldn't be happy about it. Anyway, according to wikipedia the game sales were half the publisher's expectations, though indeed they later said it was a profitable title without going into specifics.

I didn't argue it's not sexist. I even clearly said it has that aspect. Maybe you should read before replying. I argued against the claim it's a bad game which implies anyone who played it only did so for the sexism. Whether you personally liked it or not is completely off topic, you can't claim what others enjoyed of it.

Intelligence, kindness and empathy aren't traits of education. There are plenty educated spoiled jerks and plenty uneducated hard workers who wouldn't hurt a fly. What about all the college/university rape/crimes?
Shit, how many heinous scandals are politicians involved in these days, when they're usually among the best educated people going to the most prominent and expensive countries/universities?
Digging up statistics about the education level of a given country with a high crime rate completely ignoring all the other issues that may be present there isn't doing favors to the argument either. Also, in history, quite often, the lack of education is a result of other problems arising rather than the cause of them.
Correlation isn't causation.

Was Forever even a success? I liked 3D for its gameplay and didn't think to buy Forever because it seemed to have little in common with its predecessor. I didn't find the sexism in 3D all that prominent, it was mostly in theme and in the sidelines of an otherwise good game, plus I don't recall it being particularly awful about it (though I suppose someone might come up with some particularly awful quote by the Duke, I don't recall any specifics). If people would say anyone playing it put up with (supposedly objectively, since they're not merely saying it wasn't to their liking) bad gameplay for digitized tits they'd simply be out of touch with reality.

Who even began to imply it's okay to ruin people's lives? How does this rape scene ruin anyone's life? Even at the odd chance rape victims unknowingly play the game and have post traumatic reactions, how would that be what ruined their lives? Or are you now claiming this scene will cause someone to commit rape or be a victim of rape? Frankly, I'm pretty sure there would need to be other issues first, and if any criminal who ruined anyone's life ever brings up Hotline Miami 2 (or any other video game or media) as the reason he did it, whether that was by rape or murder, I'd sure hope no judge accepts it as a legitimate excuse and instead gives him his full due.
And who ruined the fun?

i think mostly that talking about white knights was completely off topic and you arent exactly being clear why you are talking about them or what they do that is relevant to the topic
I'm not talking about them, I made one comment, which was very much on topic as it was merely a random hypothesis about another reason why the scene may have been included and the topic of the thread is in fact "Rape in Hotline Miami 2" and then I was called all sorts of things and am constantly misquoted and questioned over it. If you find it off topic and irrelevant, direct your frustration to the one who keeps bringing it up.

ps. I have often seen the term white knight refer to both males and females in modern times.
it's a discussion about rape, and the one who used the term white knight continues to show mra privleged symptoms the more i push the question. i think it's pretty clear what he means. You're constantly speaking badly of privileged white men discussing these things. Are they privileged white men just because they discuss these things? Obviously no, they're privileged white men for other reasons, like being born as such, and they happen to at this time discuss these things. Other, non privileged, non white, non men, could also discuss these things, and you don't mean those comments to be about them, and they wouldn't suddenly be privileged white men just because they discuss the same things. In the same way, I spoke of white knight wannabes doing certain things, like revel in violence then get supposedly vocally outraged over a fake scene of roleplay rape. I did not at all imply anyone who may do the same reveling in violence and the same vocal outrage at a fake scene of roleplay rape is in fact a white knight wannabe (though again it does seem very hypocritical). I only spoke of the white knight wannabes. As you say, it should be clear what I said. Somehow, for you, it is not.

What do you mean use an animation? You'd just jump as always, but if you were under a platform the character would go over its side rather than through it. If anything it could act as an evasion rather than a hindrance.

How will you handle platforms? I was never fond of the way you can go *through* them yet somehow can stand on them after the fact. How about a quick animation showing the character climbing on/off them off their side in some fancy way rather than through them?

you still haven't explained how they are a white knight and the censorship thing.
Yes I have, multiple times. Why would I then be talking about that *again* in that post? I didn't pretend to. no you said "white knights are white knights" and "because i said white knight" those are not answers, boy. i'm asking why and how is a person a white knight for anti rape ok with violence. and i'm also asking you why did you bring up censorship, when no one is calling for censorship?
There you go with the gender again. I didn't say a person ok with violence but not rape is a white knight (though it does seem hypocritical). I spoke of white knights who do certain things, I didn't say those certain things alone are what make them white knights and I've explained it already. It's simple to get whether you say it isn't or not. If I said I often have trouble with irritating people stalling at the super market cashier's queue, that doesn't mean I think every person stalling at the super market cashier's queue is irritating, I would merely be speaking of the irritating people, whose defining characteristic is that they're irritating and stall in such a manner, not that they're stalling, just as the defining characteristic of my first comment was that they're white knight wannabes, not that they're ok with violence. It's really not hard to get. Just as people here have expressed dislike on white privileged males or nerds discussing these issues. Surely the defining part is the white privileged males or nerds and not the discussing of issues. Those people aren't white privileged males or nerds because they discuss the issues, and people who aren't privileged white males or nerds may discuss the issues too, likely without being judged in the same manner. Motivation matters. If you do something because you're a white knight wannabe that's bad. And that's all I was saying. I wasn't saying the act is necessarily bad, but the motive behind it, ie, the white knighting of the white knight wannabes. But hey, keep it up, it's ok to be sexist and vile if you're a girl I suppose. Like comedians you're happy getting away with anything. But in reality, the fact you are a girl doesn't give you more credit, and that I'm a man doesn't give me less. How often you want to push either angle only weakens your point.

am i a white knight game inquirer will you love me if i white knight yeah drop the white knight thing, like just dont say it. that shit's mad stupid
I don't know you and don't care if you are, I didn't call anyone specific a white knight, I also only made one comment about white knights, I'm certainly not the one who isn't dropping it. As for the rest of your post, you jump from nerds to white males to people who have money to buy video games to... whatever else. I think you need to pick up a dictionary before you use words in such a way. There can be black, poor, female nerds, because nerd doesn't mean all the things you claim and attack, not that they necessarily need to be attacked over it anyway. Mind, my people were enslaved for 400 years and it had nothing to do with their skin color, while they weren't part of the whole color racism movement. Why would their color be held against them when it comes to discussing such issues when they've gone through their own troubles, just because they're white?

I didn't say anyone was being censored. Though there certainly have been remarks about wanting a scene gone, which would be wanting something censored. Of course wanting it doesn't make it so, and I didn't claim such. And I didn't say everyone who may be ok with violence but not rape is a white knight. I spoke specifically of white knight wannabes who only engage in discussion for that end and not because they honestly believe in any cause. Of course there will also be people who do believe in the cause and so aren't white knight wannabes, though they would seem a bit hypocritical under that light of being ok with other forms of violence.
