More Auto Assault previews

Post by Mr. Teatime »

<strong>[Game -> Interview]</strong> - More info on <a href="http://wikipocalypse.duckandcover.cx/in ... itle=Scott Brown">Person: Scott Brown</a> | More info on <a href="http://wikipocalypse.duckandcover.cx/in ... l">Company: NetDevil</a> | More info on <a href="http://wikipocalypse.duckandcover.cx/in ... title=Auto Assault">Game: Auto Assault</a>

This time it's at a place called <a href="http://www.killerbetties.com">Killer Betties</a>, and is <a href="http://www.killerbetties.com/modules.ph ... id=115">an interview with NetDevil's Scott Brown</a>. As the magazine describes itself as An Entertainment Magazine For Women!, the interview is sure to <strike>suck</strike> have questions that all females are desperate for answers to.

<blockquote><em><strong>Women have generally stated that if a game's controls and UI are
difficult to master, they won't spend long playing that game. How will
you make sure the controls and UI are intuitive and easy to master,
especially in a game so action oriented?</strong>

</em>
</blockquote>

<blockquote><em>
We are trying to make the game as accessible as possible. We are using
a variety of controls including keyboard, mouse, game pad, joystick and
wheel to allow players to find the controls that they like best. You
are moving while firing, so </em><em>Auto Assault does take some getting used to. I have always liked the design mantra of "Easy to learn, but difficult to master."</em>

</blockquote>
It's true: countless times I've seen a woman struggle to get to grips with
a "keyboard" and "mouse" before bursting into tears in frustration. Fine
journalism indeed, <strong>Rosethorn</strong>.


For more gold, you can check out the <a href="http://www.killerbetties.com/modules.ph ... old=0">"oh noes it's valentines day!" editorial</a>, or even better, the <a href="http://www.killerbetties.com/modules.ph ... old=0">"oh noes im turning 30 and im FREAKING OUT!" column</a>.

Hahaha, man, good to see I wasn't the only one disgusted by this form of journalism

I especially like the whole "can we have women with smaller breasts plz, our breasts are small and we feel insecure"

Heck, Scott's the most anti-sexist person of the two, he after all says "That is a hard question to answer as I don’t think all women can be lumped into liking or disliking any particular game feature".

PS: I'd hit Annie Fodge

PPS: you typo'd journalism
