Pirate the game when it’s a decade old, mysteriously absent from Nintendo’s next online storefront and going for absurd prices on the secondhand market. But today? Just buy a copy. 

This article is really scummy. I’ve always enjoyed your content Zack, but this article made me lose some respect for you. The game literally just released yesterday for crying out loud. Genuinely shitty article to post. At least wait a few months.

Sis somebody seriously ok this article or are you guys just allows to post whatever the hell nonsense you want now? Either way, please stop. 

The article tries of deflect in the last paragraph with talks about the valuable and necessary archival work done by the emulation community, but that’s kind of out of step with the rest of the article, which pereptuates exactly the image of emulation that leads to companies persecuting (and prosecuting) so much - the…

I cannot believe some Kotaku editor okayed this article. Advocating piracy ONE DAY after a game launches? Are you freaking kidding me?

This shit just tacitly reinforces companies heavy-handed anti-piracy measures. The game is barely a day old.

Me too. I’m all ok for older games and mostly stuff that you can’t legitimately buy anymore, but this is simply wrong. As a gamer, and even a passionate retro gamer using his fair share of emulators from time to time, this is... just wrong. I mean, how can you label yourself a gamer and not be ashamed of not…

lol Gee, I wonder why Nintendo hates us.

“It is a Switch exclusive, as you might expect. But all you need is a Switch emulator and a decently powerful PC, and you can play Dread on your computer, right now.”

I’m not fond of articles like these. The tone is encouraging persons to pirate the game.

I get the vague arguments for emulating inaccessible games - but are you seriously arguing emulating a game that came out one day ago rather than buying it? No mention at all that it’s basically theft (morally even if it’s a legal grey area - which I don’t think it is) if you don’t also buy the game (and maybe even if…

Older games, I can understand - but encouraging the torrenting/pirating of a game one day after its’ release? For fuck’s sake.

I’ll be completely honest, I don’t particularly like the Sony blockbuster games. I’m just not super into third-person action games, regardless of how well they play or how acclaimed they are, and that seems to be Sony’s forte at the moment. In fact, I’m not entirely sure I’ve ever been a fan of Sony’s first-party…

Interesting opinion about atmosphere since its a very subjective. Some games in the series handled it far better than other, with Super and Prime 1 being the best in their class. Same with the story as Super and Prime 2 and Fusion has the best stories, I’ll see if this one handled it well too.

While I agree that the Pokemon series has been one that’s grown at an excruciatingly slow pace, I also wonder if it’s possible to make a fan of the series happy.

Open world doesn’t necessarily mean good, but it seems like there are plenty of Pokemon fans who’d like to play an open world Pokemon game at some point.

Like Mike said, this is perfectly fine and I’ll never understand how “open world” became synonymous with “good.” The world design should be whatever works best with the gameplay, and Pokemonster Hunter sounds great.

This is a very... questionable list. Surely there are better examples.

I avoid using the iron. Not just during thunderstorms. You can never be too careful.

Not gonna lie, I immediately thought of this, but with an iron in his hand:
