Do gamers not do sarcasm anymore

Erm, it says in the same paragraph, “And it is very little fun to play.” And then dedicates paragraphs to saying why. It’s weird you missed that.

Defending losing the headphone jack is on a similar level of embarrassing consumer, yeah. Good analogy.

Imagine being a lemming defending phones getting rid of the headphone jack.

This (cis white male) commenter that’s oh so bravely calling out a trans woman is deliberately omitting that the person Natalie allegedly endorses was only featured on one video for fewer than 30 seconds. He read one quote from a fictional work that made no social commentary whatsoever. And because of that, everyone…

“I lived them, it wasn’t so bad” - probably because you’re the exact type of person Reagan and his administration liked - a white, straight, neurotypical , middle class American man. I know it’s the big scary no-no word these days, but y’know what that’s called? Privilege. It’s best you start recognizing you lived a…

I also love Yoshida’s art and wish they would take a chance on stylized visuals. I absolutely think that you could balance artistic stylization with realism, I’d argue that FFVIIR falls into this category with fantastic results. Each character is stylized and exaggerated just enough to have a very distinct identity,…

I’m just gonna leave this here, in case anyone thinks promoting far-right conspiracy theories is harmless or just an overreaction by the media.

I also regularly fly first and business, and I’m here to tell you: fuck off. It’s a bathroom. Get over yourself. Who cares where people pee? It doesn’t matter. I have been affected by people using the first class bathroom precisely 0 times.

I think the amount of effort you’re putting in to silence any legitimate criticism of the Epic Game Store has gotten out of hand, but what are ya gonna do? 

Oh look. Another Kotaku article that lists all the things they see as wrong with Valve/Steam yet glosses over anything wrong with Epic or the EGS. No mention at all about how Epic treats their employees as far as “crunch” goes since Fortnite got popular even though Kotaku loves pointing out that issue with every other…

I dont want to pay money and give my information to an unproven unserviced 3rd party. Beyond that I dont want to support epic and pay money to epic. I should be free to choose where I want to buy something same way your free to choose where you shop for groceries it's a grossly simple concept.

Complaining about MTX is never a bad thing. The game was designed to be co-op purely so they could add a social element to encourage players to buy MTX. And don’t worry in a few weeks they’ll turn on the progression MTX. The next bethesda game will be even worse as well.

That’s correct, they did. I don’t agree with the premise of the article, but whatever. His opinion, his piece. But this is the review. For some people making the decision to buy this, it may be the only Kotaku piece they read.

I’d say fans rightfully have fears that Youngblood sets negative precedents in terms of gameplay: co-op over strong single player, enemy health bars, weak leveling system, lack of story resolution, microtransactions and the general vibe that even if wolfenstein 3 flashes back to the 60's it’s now basically pointless…

You can love, hate or be indifferent to them, but no mention of the in-game store in the actual review of the game? Seems like a notable omission.

I’m all for experimentation, when it’s to bring new, exciting ideas to a series. I’m all for experimentation when its fundamentally shaking up the way a series plays or how the player interacts with it...but this ain’t that. They’re not experimenting with anything here, they’ve just bolted on the same, grindy…

First off, I am playing Youngblood solo, and will not be playing it with anyone because it’s a fucking Wolfenstein game. If it’s explicitly designed for co-op, then it should only be playable in co-op. If it was co-op only, If you give me the option to play anything solo, I will play solo. That’s just how I do.

That…

No talk about the microtransactions, or how now the enemies have become bullet sponges to force players into buying boosters??? shame... How much are developers paying kotaku?

Maybe I’m just really cynical and burnt out but why do I just have this feeling that the outrage may be more to do with the fact it’s two men involved here rather than anything else.
