Your reaction is considerably more childish than his half-hearted jab.

I didn’t buy it and I’m not complaining at all. I saw something that I didn’t like about the game and chose not to purchase it for that reason. That’s a perfectly healthy attitude to take in a time when games are more expensive than ever and there are more options than ever. I’m not trying to change anyone’s opinion…

This is a bad take. It’s cool that you’re pumped to see Jolteon and Hitmonlee and Rhydon roaming around the wild area. It is equally cool for someone to be upset that they don’t see Bulbasaur, Squirtle, or Beedrill roaming around. I see a lot of these pieces that are framed like “Well you would never catch all 900+…

Counterpoint. No.

Writing an emulator isn’t illegal, so you probably shouldn’t worry about it.

It seems like the shitty move is mobilizing consumers to try to enforce a near monopoly on digital sales, even though the 30% commission is usurious at best.

And this is why you do not let the great unwashed into a BETA, they have no concept of how these things work, and instead look to old tired arguments to further their hateful agendas....

We’re scaling the servers to let more players in gradually to avoid crashing. We’ll continue to scale until everyone is in.

A BioWare community manager responded on Reddit saying that the studio “is scaling the servers to let more players in gradually to avoid crashing.”

Ok...sigh. Well written.
But I was looking for a review, not an essay. I read through this and I can honestly say that I have no idea if I’ll like the game or not now. I’m VERY aware that you liked it, but that’s about it.

It might have been a better idea to have someone who wasn’t a superfan review this one.

By the logic of this lawsuit, we should also cancel advertised trivia night at bars/restaurants, or how about card game competitions at comic book stores if they don’t have adequate security.

“failed to provide a safe and secure environment” for the participants, among other complaints.

Hey Stephen,

Lighten up? How about giving the same advice to all the triggered SJW’s who want to be offended at every joke. It’s not hateful. It’s not inviting rape, sexual or physical violence, so what’s such a big deal where people are going to the lengths of harassment, real life not imagined, of those who offended them (in…

There is one very simple solution to the author’s quandary: Do not read messages around female NPCs. This is a very easy thing to do. In fact, the only times I ever read the messages are when I’m in a very questionable area. Really, the messages are not very important to the playing experience.

As a reader, who did read the article, I felt like there was a lot of telling me that there is a problem but not a whole lot of actually exploring the problem.  I came away from the piece still wondering exactly what the big deal is.  The associative reaches and stretches in most of the explanations of why it’s a…

C’mon, Kotaku always gets made fun of when an article like this pops up. These sorts of attempts at journalism really shouldn’t be taken very seriously, to begin with. It’s a very, very broad and far-reaching stretch when someone claims that a person leaving a dirty message in Dark Souls is doing so to proclaim their…

Clearly the author of that comment is the one that needs to lighten up.

It’s such a petty thing to get bent out of shape over. Next thing you know they'll say teabagging in games is sexual assult...
