Destiny was *so* mediocre! How can you possibly put that on the top games, and leave treasures like Bayonetta 2, Shovel Knight, Monument Valley, Child of Light, etc, off?

Oh, Kinja. You never fail to offer up the most moronic of comments. Gold. Kudos.

I love that mouse!

As a reminder to all censorship apologists: The first amendment may indeed only protect us all against government censorship, but—Spoiler Alert—not all censorship is done by the government, and we're all entitled to the opinion as to whether or not it's wrong.

Apple censors their marketplace, Google censors their

I don't recall seeing a single person, either on Kotaku, Reddit or Twitter, mentioning the First Amendment. In fact, all I can recall seeing are pedantic posters such as yourselves gleefully reminding everyone that it doesn't apply to corporations—as a flimsy pretext for serving as an apologist for censorship.

The fact that you can't differentiate between the types of "grind"—and can't see the insanely obvious difference between them—is precisely why you're sitting here posting, cluelessly wondering about why western audiences don't like your grindfests.

You can reach the end of a "hack'n'slash" game in 10-30 hours, with

And what exactly makes Injustice a "pile of crap"? It was very well-received by the population of gamers who like fighting games, as was the new Mortal Kombat, done by the same studio.

The purpose of a game is to have fun, and western audiences don't find mindless grinding—for the sole purpose of getting you to continue paying monthly fees because your progress is heavily limited—fun.

Anybody notice that the floor graphic projected at the end is from Link to the Past?

You are a cancer on the game industry.

I can only speak to Virginia's state law with any real authority, but the reality—at least here—is much more difficult than the average layperson might think.

Title 18.2, Chapter 6 of the Code of Virginia (crimes involving fraud) has about 100 sections, none of which this behavior obviously falls under. A police

I sincerely doubt that, under most states' laws, this would constitute a crime. In any case, morally-speaking, of course it's wrong.

They haven't merely run from Obama. They've totally accepted—at face value—the entire GOP narrative on everything. The deficit? The recovery? The obstructionism?

The reason Elizabeth Warren is so popular is because she fucking tells it like it is. Everybody's going gaga over Hillary, without seeming to realize that

Such a tired cop-out excuse people regularly use to explain lack of depth in games, movies, etc. Being a fantasy setting doesn't mean that the universe shouldn't have internally consistent logic. It's about maintaining the suspension of disbelief, and it makes no sense to have a Lv100 Bunny that's stronger than the

Deliciously ironic. You're accusing me of using a guilt by association fallacy—which I'm not—while making one yourself in your previous post. Yes, Jack Thompson called for action based on his faulty interpretation of gaming. Anita Sarkeesian hasn't done the same, she merely pointed out her argument—an argument which

By all means, please point out where I ever "defended people who make death and rape threats against female feminists."

Except I didn't. For some reason, you can't see that the statement "Sexism/misogyny exist in games" isn't automatically paired up with Anita Sarkeesian's arguments. At no point did I ever claim "sexism doesn't exist in gaming," and I already acknowledged that existing sexism in the industry should be addressed.

You haven't made a single substantive rebuttal of anything I've said. You can call me "close-minded" all you wish, but unfortunately for you, that doesn't magically change reality.

That's the reason she gave after the fact, yes. Forgive me for not accepting it at face value. Someone ostensibly interested in furthering a dialogue on the issues plaguing gaming would presumably be interested in hearing criticism, differing viewpoints, and additions to the conversation.

She shut down comments soon
