Because Kotaku is a gamer culture site, not a pure gaming site. The question is, why the hell are you on Kotaku?

Oh, I forgot that gamers are basement-dwelling virgins who are only interested in games. And here I was, basing my opinions of Kotaku on those old stories they did about what Kotaku was about, back before Kinja came in and destroyed the editors' interest in the comments. You know, back when they made it very, very…

I'd say about 20% are worthless douchenozzles. Unfortunately, many of those roll smurf accounts to troll new players, but if you can get past the level 1-10 grind the douche-to-helpful ratio improves quite a bit.

I wish people would figure out that Kotaku has never called itself a video game blog, and has always prided itself on being an otaku culture blog with a focus on gaming. Hence the name. I also wish illiterates would just go and stop trying to comment on the internet, but no chance there.

I'm playing on normal difficulty. It was jokingly easy at the start, but I'm now at the point where I've gotten my second party member, and it's gotten much more fun. No more mashing attack.

Didn't notice until I read the comment. I like it a lot, though.

I suppose, which gives me some relief. But Sonic and the mishandling of Valkyria Chronicles in the Americas has instilled in me a predisposition to mistrust anything labeled Sega without checking the region.

Yeah, it was the Japanese parts. Is it Sega USA who got them? I'd be less apprehensive about that.

You are not alone. I'll give Sega the benefit of the doubt with many, many beloved studios, but Relic is not one of them. I can only think of two other studios that I admire as much as Relic, and I don't like the idea of the fuckers who ruined Sonic owning them.

I'm seeing a lot of Darksiders love here. Am I the only one who thought Darksiders 2 was a steaming pile of crap? I absolutely adored Darksiders 1, and I felt betrayed by Darksiders 2. The poor Diablo-style loot implementation, the short dungeons, and the extreme downgrade to both puzzle quality and story just really,…

I had the exact same reaction, but I bought it anyway, due to experiences with the horrific Tales of Vesperia demo that didn't match the final product in the least. Let me assure you, when you go through the full game, and are eased into the combat at the rate the developers intended, it is incredibly fun. About 9…

There's a big, horrible stealth section in the beginning of Wind Waker, where you're storming the castle to get your sword.

The demo is a hideous representation of the game. You get much more eased in to it in the full game.

Leveling is generic. However, there is a system where you feed different types of treats to your monsters in order to raise specific stats, with limits to how much a monster can eat at a given time and how much treat-based game they can get in general.

Fantastic. Especially the scholastic label.

Some moron hasn't even looked at the game.

Here's what the Encyclopedia Dramatica forums are.

Wholeheartedly agreed. Rereading my comment, it was much more aggressive than I intended. I don't like the double standard I believed was implied, but I do not, by any means, sympathize with people of either gender who can't empathize with the opposite for the sake of a game, and I do recognize that there are way more…

Holy freaking god. I haven't had this kind of reaction to stepping outside a house and seeing the graphics since Mother 3. I want this as a commercial game, right now.

He says to a conservative.
