I’m an ex-games journalist. You should be ashamed of yourself for this shambolic review. Keep you personal, non-consequential opinions out of what should be an objective, as is possible, breakdown. This is absolutely, shamefully, biased, petulant, and pathetic.

I’m sure not going to stick up for Trump, but Hillary spent 25 years assassinating her own character. 

I think it’s fair to hold Kotaku to a slightly different standard than GMG websites as a whole, though: the entire purpose of, say, Jezebel, or the Root, is to be political, and I don’t think you can say the same for Kotaku. I also think it’s fair to hold different types of articles to different standards; to hold a…

About the guilt part at the end, obviously buying a PS5 is not be the burning priority (or even in the realm of possibilities) for a lot of people... but that’s a bit of a US centric point if I may say (from afar)... a lot of people have difficult national situations right now all, over the globe, and the reason…

Absurd addition to this review.  Are we going to mention ongoing tragedies in every review of luxury items and consumer products?  "Here's an RTX 3080, but let's reflect on the pandemic that has killed 240k Americans.  You probably should feel bad for buying this"

Ian also did an entire bullshit editorial about the Biden campaign animal crossing island. I really don't know why he needs to shove so much editorializing into stuff. I get we're in the middle of a horrible pandemic with hundreds of thousands dead, but don't add your political opinion into a fucking review

Interesting review from a gaming site. Dislike of high frame rates, high level basic explanation of the SSD that fails to explain why it’s even better than modern day PCs, an out the gate admission of ignorance and and unwillingness to learn (the tflops comment) and lastly a large section that is completely…

It’s hard to be shocked at a horrible thing someone’s done when that person’s been telling you for four-plus years that he’s going to do exactly that thing. In the time that—for their sins—Americas has been under the shadow of a Donald Trump administration, the plain fact that he would never, ever, under no…

“I still have no idea what a teraflop is and I refuse to learn”

Should the Xbox review be updated to include a tangent about the state of the world and how you should worry about that instead of games? It’s fine to be worried about this stuff, but the messaging should be consistent.

Why do replies like these get approved, but everything I’ve ever replied or commented on stays gray?

You know, on any given day you’re alive and enjoying yourself (or not), there are millions of people suffering. Disease, poverty, violence, slavery, and ethnic genocide literally happen every day. The pandemic is just a newer blip on the radar of human distress.

As someone who’s legitimately excited about a Biden presidency, the notion that having ‘a different old white man sitting behind the Resolute desk’ would somehow make the ‘worst people’ ‘go away’ is... a bit much to take in a PS5 review. And kind of creepy, honestly. I’m not saying there’s no reason to feel that way,…

Leave it to Kotaku to turn a next gen console review into a liberal’s lecture on the state of the country, spewing forth opinions like they are facts and dreaming of a turn to socialism even though that’s worked out pretty much nowhere. In case you didn’t notice, about 50 percent of the country doesn’t agree with your…

Yep, what I want to read about in my reviews of products is the state of the world and politics.  BEST part of the review.

I’m kind of mystified by a lot of the games media’s insistence that the game needs tons of licensed brands to be authentically black. Even if doubling down on their presumably already pretty expensive licensing catalogue were a good use of money, it’s just a troubling outlook in general.

It’s a terrible story that hinges entirely on nobody in the Marvel Universe being able to heal a bullet wound except Mephisto and Peter being a self-centered asshole who refuses to let Aunt May die despite her being fine with it and even the Marvel equivalent of God showed up to tell Peter to accept her death. It…

While this review is incredibly well written (I really appreciated the section on the controller!), your complaints about the 60fps high frame rate feeling “weird” in Miles Morales and comparing it to HFR in film makes me seriously question your experience with videogames. Have you never played a single PC game at…

Review is needlessly political and the end but I am looking forward to getting my hands on one of these next week.

organic looking holes trigger me to a degree due to seeing a certain photoshopped image attached to a fake email when i was a kid (if you’ve seen it you likely know) but clean manufactured holes don’t do anything for me.
