KOTAKU: loot boxes are bad because they are exploitive cash grabs.

An epidemic? No, not yet at least. Is the market oversaturated with loot boxes? Definitely.

What bothers me the most about loot boxes are the boxes themselves. I don’t feel much satisfaction getting random loot compared to actually racking up enough kills, collectables, etc. to earn a new skin or modification. I don’t…

They can do what they want, but these loot boxes have influenced my buying decisions. I canceled my Star Wars Battlefront 2 preorder over the progression being exclusively tied to loot boxes, and the only reason i bought Shadow of War was because i got it for 50% off before launch from GMG (otherwise i would have…

Here’s a very uncomfortable truth we all need to face: victims get to handle this stuff however they wish but the RESULT of all of these people covering their own asses and keeping their mouths shut enabled this man do this for DECADES. Is there a woman in Hollywood who WASN’T harassed by this man? And don’t forget…

The lightsaber effects look off somehow and the gorilla AT-ATs are dumb as hell. Sorry, guys, even as a first-gen Star Wars fan, I’m finding it hard to get excited. Knowing we’re getting stuck with Abrams again for the next one helps temper any enthusiasm, too. I will see it, sure, but TFA did nothing for me in the…

None of this fixes the main problem: That there are micro-transactions in a full-price game in the first place. That is not acceptable, no matter how ‘skippable’ it is.

“shut the fuck up and open their ears”

I’m not even through the whole chase. I assume I’m on the last part, because if something is terrible and not even remotely fun it makes total sense to have players do it three goddamn times in quick succession, but I can’t get past the last section.

If it were just running and morph-balling it would be fine, but even…

All I want is to be given everything I want, whenever I want it, and for absolutely no money.

If it had been a white that made the first letter the comment section would be on fire.

Man it’s nice to see a not white guy be racist for once, it’s like I can breathe for a second.

Piracy is a byproduct of corporations using tax dollars via laws and legislation for their security instead of developing their own.

So basically you’re saying, “Give up and pay the extortion money.”

i love trek - but hard pass. I will wait to buy the series on Amazon

This actually looks interesting. Please tell me it isn’t over the top with anime tropes and excessive fanservice. I’ve given up on a number of JRPG that I should like but they’re laden with so much fanservice that I can’t even enjoy the game.

Sanders took things further . . .

...but two Wongs don’t make a White.

“Welp, so much for White privilege.”

Ah, the game I shall always remember as the one where all the reviewers collectively dropped the ball. A brawler in which each player’s active quests and progress have to be independently updated during local co-op, and where the progress through the main story for everyone but the main player doesn’t update,…

“Sorry but making middle aged white people feel better about their failings in life is no longer part of my job description.”
