I remember that, but I would contend that Apple, which is one of the most profitable companies in the history of ever, is a significant power in the corporate and tech worlds and doesn’t need to care about Gizmodo’s coverage. Bethsoft/Zenimax is significantly smaller, and still (within reason) needs to contend for…

I...no! No, I don’t like embargoes! You heard wrong. Check your sources.

I did game journo work (though I’m loathe to call it that - it’s criticism and news reposting, not journalism) for 8 years. Yes, I’m certainly in a better position than you are to call myself that.

I’m glad you check so many websites for your gaming news. Good for you. You are probably a smart consumer.

You are not…

Oh for fuck’s sake, just break the embargo. It’s Kotaku. What are they gonna do, deprive you of review copies, so that your 13 million monthly uniques won’t see your review of their game?

Yeah, that’s an excellent business decision on their part.

Just do what you want. Embargoes are horse shit. I worked in games…

The most innovative UI I’ve seen in gaming in the last 15 years has been in the Dead Space games. You’re not the user the interface was designed for! It’s Isaac’s. That is fucking brilliant, and doesn’t get nearly as much attention as it deserves.

The sad thing (I guess) about PS4 and Xbone gamers is that they’re also using PCs, just with custom versions of FreeBSD and Windows as their operating systems, and outdated hardware that was obsolete 6 months before the systems even launched.

For fuck’s sake, just learn about computers and build your own beast. JOIN…

Tough shit.

Pathetic, albeit typical, racism. This kind of xenophobic idiocy has to stop.

OKAY, THEY INVADED 60 YEARS AGO. FUCKING GET OVER IT.

“You absolutely 100%, undeniably just destroyed THE greatest FPS ever created.”

This person hasn’t played a lot of FPS games, apparently.

The problem with Spore is that in the end, it was an EA game. Paid for by EA, slaved away on by EA employees, published by EA.

And EA does not give two shits about things like proper development cycles, valuing its employees, or the creative process. They care about *money*, which is fine since they’re a corporation,…

“Overlord is a boring power fantasy”

There. Fixed that title for you. Seriously it was easily one of the most boring shows of the last season. The main character and his cronies are so bloody powerful, nothing in the world could possibly threaten him. Even the last fight of the season, which was supposedly a hard fight…

Fate:Zero had more gratuitous deaths of children than any other anything I’ve seen, ever. That’s not, like, a good thing. The series was great to watch but there’s something wrong with a production staff that can so easily and graphically depict the torturous murder of tons of kids. The fact that nobody seems to have…

*Not actual gameplay

No shit, REALLY? I mean, you know, had I been tricked into buying this game based on the ad, I *certainly* would be irked that I couldn’t jump out of my office building window into an X-Wing and shoot down TIE Fighters while doing barrel rolls through the sky-scrapers of some modern Earth city. I…

The prioritizing AI in this game, for humans and robots, is fucking stupid.

The game tells me 800 times that I’ve run out of spare parts, I have the resources necessary to build spare parts, and my engineers are standing around idle. Awesome.

All the eps from every series can’t possibly be this well animated. Which are the ones I should actually watch?

Holy shit.

I would have enjoyed the series a hell of a lot more if it had been animated with a budget of more than $300. I’m hoping the next thing Trigger produces won’t be a piece of shit...artistically, anyway.

I may or may not still have the leaked content on a drive somewhere.

Unions, much like Communism, is an awesome idea on paper. Unfortunately the reality of the concept went put into practice turns out to be significantly flawed.

...time to replay Deus Ex for the 8 trillionth time.

I won’t regret it.
