Oh, that’s easy. Because Japanese developers think that Japanese games are inherently superior (“I don’t think westerners can make good games” - Shigeru Miyamoto) and if we westerners don’t react like they want, clearly we’re not understanding something. And this is coming from someone who generally vastly prefers…

I’m curious why you would play a game called Spider-Man and then complain that Spider-Man is in it.

Being a quippy do-gooder is literally Spider-man’s entire thing.  

Literally the fucking point. Sorry you’re mad Spider-Man was being Spider-Man.

Yes, how dare they make Peter in the game spiritually faithful to the comics!

If you’re annoyed at Spider-Man quipping and having a deep moral core then I’m not sure why you like Spider-Man.

Eh he's better off with whatever nanny Musk will pay to raise him. In this case, neither parent is a good choice. 

Don’t look up the Minus8 subreddit and don’t skim down to find it there or zones copy which absolutely should not be clicked here.

That’s disgusting, what sites should I avoid to make sure I don’t see it?

I’ve genuinely had the game since PS3 and never noticed the trans sex workers, not a single time.

I just had Panda Express’ Orange Chicken sandwich over the weekend and it changed my life and it will change yours too

Larry’s a fucking amateur.

Yeah, QA tends to get the shaft. I’m pretty sure that one of the PSP games that I worked on (and actually bugged up something Credits related, turns out that they hadn’t credited the voice cast. For a movie tie-in game. That used voice clips from the movie) didn’t include me in the credits.

I suspect any corporation would fire someone who decided to make a single tweet that ended up costing their company multiple contracts and financially impacting their bottom line.

These cocksuckers aren’t going to stop until they are forced to.

See the thing is, most of the disputes around the definition of “freedom” lie in the fact that the US is, for better or worse, really the only meaningfully interracial liberal democracy in the world. You ask anybody who ISN’T part of the majority in the countries rated higher than the US, and you’ll get a strong and…

If you have kids, most people would agree that you would want to limit their time playing games. My concern is the blanket approach. Parents usually have a better handle on what their children can and should handle. I mean, most parents are pretty good. Parenting is not one size fits all, which this regulation is.

There HAS BEEN, but is there anything like that right now? A lot of the really goofy games from that Era have dried out in favor of run of the mill copycats of other popular games. Indies are basically the only space that tries weird, silly, or unique ideas. 

Didn’t the editor just send you a really comprehensive reply? Between that and really clever Carbon Leaf jokes, I’m not sure what else you wa....
OH NO KOTAKU IS DELETING MY COMMENT TO APPEASE BIG CORPORATE AND THE UNETHICAL JOURNALISM CABAL, PLEASE MISTER STARK I DON’T WANT TO GO

we are short staffed and have even more people leaving to a degree that covering the news surrounding all aspects of this is taking every resource. i am having convos with folks as we go but at the moment the plan is to continue covering relevant news with the appropriate context and tone, should it be newsworthy.…
