Really some people are still on about this?

OH also sorry I forgot about the upgrading: the loot in this game is actually one of my favorite parts—again, because of how it works within the nemesis system. Every time you killed a ranked orc you get a "rune." There are three classes of these for the three main weapons (dagger, sword, and bow), and they vary in…

I lean myself a little more on the feminist side of things (yes, I even think people like Anita Sarkeesian raise some very very valid points) in this whole fiasco but I'll be the first to say I sure as hell hope NOTHING controversial comes from FFXV's male cast. FF has had its fair share of strong female party members…

We've come a long way.

What would Edgar, Sabin, Locke, Gau and Setzer look like walking in the same line? Or Cloud, Barrett, Cid, and Vincent? Squall, Zell, and Irvine? We've had quite a few lineups of pretty boys in FF games for decades. I'm less concerned with what the guys look like then what the girls will, honestly. They've barely…

Why are you so negative, its a new game, if you don't like it, then don't play it.

Said everyone about every Final Fantasy game ever. Seriously, just get over it, stop thinking about the spiky hairdo, and imagine the game play.

The whole point of the game as far as I can see is that they're all fucking bros going on an epic monster-killing roadtrip. It makes sense that they'd all dress similarly. I think it's pretty awesome, honestly. They actually look like a real group of friends, instead of a bunch of people who randomly met each other…

Claptrap: Looks cool, but as somebody who plays single-player mainly I can't see him being of any use.

I've read and watched the Dragon Tattoo stories, and I'm a former starred commenter who went Burner after Gawker pissed off Anonymous and got hacked- still doesn't mean I know who the hell you are.

I'm simply pointing out that all the women who actually know me and whose opinion is based on my actions in real life are happy and don't think I'm a misogynist. Your snap judgment based on one written sentence, while you're certainly entitled to it, isn't quite as accurate.

"You're not suffering..." is literally an impossible sentence. You cannot say what does or doesn't hurt someone else. You're acting exactly like the sort of man you purport to have suffered because of. This video doesn't affect me one way or the other, but that was never the statement or the idea. The original…

It's interesting that nothing I say indicates that I believe I or other cis men have suffered more than anyone else. Nothing was made as a comparative statement. You're actually the only one of the two of us who is making the claims that your suffering eclipses that of others. You've done so in this last comment. You…

This is Gawker Media in a nutshell:

So, I should treat it as a hobby, but all the people flinging shit at us can treat it as a personal identity, for the sole purpose of justifying their shit flinging? You do see the problem with that, right?

For many people gaming is escapism. When i get home from work and look for gaming news I don't want to be told I'm a bigoted jerk for being a white male. I turn to video games to get away from this sort of thing. I hate being told that I'm part of the problem for wanting to see games journalism be about our love…

I wish you'd talk a little about the Cards Against Humanity rape accusation versus the Zoe Quinn ex-boyfriend issue. I feel like when you compare how those two issues were handled here at Kotaku it does not reflect well on you guys.

Sorry to hear your hard drive died :( hopefully you can replace it soon so you can play more than 2 minutes.

Will you make a report/article about the #gamergate tag which has been frienldy and inclusive and had it's supporters doxxed and harassed with death threats and insults? Is a guy working at Polygon threatening swatting people not harassment, not news-worthy?

Thanks Tracie, I'm really looking forward to seeing that later today!
