This feels like the most manufactured of manufactured controversies. I Googled “savage” as requested, and got the following as the first result.

None of the definitions feel inherently racist, and the initial adjectival definition feels like it serves the game perfectly. Sure, the developers *could* have chosen a…

trying to manufacture controversy where none exists

If Kotaku wasn’t the only games site that got through the filter on my work computer I’d never come here again.

Man, I certainly appreciate that there are other perspectives out there than my own, but as someone who likes to think they’re incredibly sympathetic (empathetic when I can be), shit like this drives me absolutely nuts.

uuuuuugh

I can't believe people take video game cosmetics this seriously, but here we are.

I know the marketing and writing teams are different, but if you truly truly are shocked that nobody listened, seriously stop giving affiliate links and daily deals for Amazon. It’s like a vegan site pushing ads for hamburger deals because the “departments are different”.

Maybe your advice about how terrible Amazon is would be taken more seriously if your pages weren’t covered with affiliate links to buy products from Amazon.

Nobody who has suffered under Communism, or you know, has read a history book, thinks Communism is a good thing. It’s just old burnt out hippies, dumb Millennials who think they’re oppressed, and actual violent revolutionaries who think Communism works. Ask the ghosts of 100 million people who died under its heel in…

I’m in my mid 30s in Eastern Europe and having partly lived in what comes out of those “open minded” books you suggest, and having seen my family (both parents and grandparents) being the victim of oppression , secret police state, lack of basic resources and having their ownership destroyed for the “good of the…

Ah, yes Communism, it's only killed hundreds of millions of people

Fuck you.

In a rational world that valued outcome as much as intent, this would be greeted as the equivalent of shouting “Heil Hitler”. I don’t care how “well intentioned” you think communism is “on paper”, it’s a genocidal weapon of mass economic and spiritual destruction. That said, there is a 99% possibility that the leftist…

Calm it down it’s been seven years

Alpha Protocol is the worst game I’ve ever desperately wanted to play. I’ve tried it so many times but it’s so uncomfortable and clumsy in the most basic gameplay mechanics. It’s awful, and I’m sorry about that, because it sounds like there’s a cool game in there, I’ll just never see it.

Sure seems like you are the one linking Trump. You jumped through enough hoops to make it work. I see a racist. It's not on tv.

This list seemed to confuse the word ‘best’ with ‘socially significant’

Logan outside the top five and the best MCU film in The Winter Soldier only at honourable mention. Ya... I’ll stick with I respectfully disagree with a large amount of this list. But hey, subjective  exercise is subjective. 

Are you ok?

Johnson labored under the incorrect and arrogant delusion that there was something about Star Wars that needed fixing.
