Nintendo’s online is fucking trash. It would be one thing to require it for online coop or actual PvP/Multiplayer, but for trading and raids? Fuck that.

I still feel like everyone in the global hot take economy overreacted to hell and back from Yoshida’s statement re: diversity. If you actually read what he said (and register the meaning of the actual words and not your hot take interpretation) it is quite clear that there are other ethnicities in the world but that…

Nah. I don’t have to “see the whole thing” to pass judgment. That’s like, the whole reason a trailer exists: so I can judge whether or not the movie may be to my liking, without having to see the whole movie.

As a general rule, if the survival elements aren’t causing any stress, you don’t actually HAVE survival elements, you just have some mildly annoying busywork at times. The whole point of survival elements is that they need to cause you stress, with the possibility of your game just being fucking over because you…

Consider how many fights in OW are over the point that doesn’t seem particularly hard to do especially if they’re forced to challenge due to the timer.

Oh goody... This guy sounds all broken as hell.

when I played competitive (on xbox mind you) I was consistently in mid diamond. That being said I got frustrated with the toxicity of competitive and moved to quickplay and arcade as my preferred game modes. Part of the issue I think is that I was never a “main” on any of the characters. I put in enough time to be…

The core gameplay is still fun, challenging and different in every game. So, like, I like OW2. But everything outside of that core gameplay loop leaves so much to be desired. So I really hope they make substantial changes in season 3.

Feels like this wouldn't hold a 77 average if it didn't have the Pokémon name on it. 

some of us don't like superheroes at all and are sick of renowned developers being taken off original IP to make yet another marvel game

Yeah, how dare Dunkey have a sense of humor? Who does he think he is?

I don’t know about other people but I am to the point where I am experiencing battle pass fatigue, due to all of the ones attached to all of the different games I play. Its gotten to the point where its too much for me to keep up with anymore so I’m just going to call it a day.

This might be a day late and a dollar short when it comes to the commentary but why are people getting all angry at the Director of the game and not, you know, the people writing the story? He didn’t write any of this, he probably didn’t do much in the way of artistic design before the secondary planning stages.

I am a black man. I am very much a leftist progressive. I read the linked interview on IGN. The answer provided was entirely reasonable, persuasive, and easy to understand. I do not agree with the views expressed in this article, which I consider a disingenuous, or at the very least grossly misinformed and needlessly…

Th reason they have to come up with stupid excuses is because the people wont accept the truth. The truth is not every game, move or story needs a diverse cast. The story needs the cast base on... you know, the story. Every stroy do not need to be for 'everyone'. There are movies or games I dont like or care for. But…

Look, I really do enjoy Kotaku overall, and I adore that it’s such a prominent outlet and continues to be explicitly on the side of progress rather than the usual gamer sexism/racism/queerphobia/toxicity/etc. etc. etc. As a Latine gay guy, it’s important to me, and I can only imagine what Black (and Asian, and other…

I love how Kotaku left out the last part of his answer from the article completely. Taking things out of context and only providing snippets. Here is the second half of his answer:

No. They’re afraid of getting the POC characters “wrong” according to Kotaku, Polygon or Vice and end up being raked across the coals by all game journalist for it. 

You do know that other people have different backgrounds, perspectives, visions, and goals, yes?  It’s fine that your hype for this game is dead and I would absolutely encourage you to play Skyrim if you, you know, want to play Skyrim. 

Good lord, if you play one of these YouTube videos, then click on to the next slide, the video is just hidden and continues to play. You can to go back to that slide to pause the video, otherwise the audio continues to play in the background. I know it’s a running thing to whine about the slideshows, but this is a…
