Still better than watching the entire gigantamax animation in Sword/Shield only for you to outspeed the gmaxing pokemon and knock out the one-star opponent in one hit. I stopped joining three star and lower because there was absolutely no need to gmax against them but people still did it every damn time.

Due to Kinja sucking SO much and not bringing me to what you actually linked to, I can never look at Cottonee and Lilligant the same again.

I’m completely with you. I tried to write something similar to this but you put it into words much better than I would have. Everything I’ve read about these games on Kotaku makes it almost seem like the writers are trying to have a bad time.

I’ve completed the game and have been running around like a madman since trying to complete the Pokedex. I have seen maybe three pokemon inside walls and had one softlock during the olive-pushing gym challenge (a trainer I beat walked to the spot I’d inadvertently left the olive, and became one with it and also fused…

Oof. Pratt’s “let’s-a go” and “wa-hoo” are sold as well as his Nintendo Direct line about stomping... Koopas. Every new line we hear from him makes that “like nothing you’ve heard before” claim even funnier.

People were excited for Charlie Day’s Luigi because that particular typecasting fits the character. Nobody was really expecting him to sound like anything else.  Chris Pratt on the other hand doesn’t really fit Mario, and it’s showing in these trailers.

Same. I’ve never fallen through the ground or anything wild like that. The most egregious I’ve had was getting stuck in a small divot between a rock and a wall and it just zooped me back up to where I’d jumped from.

They’d suck more, but more easily ignored.

I didn’t play Cyberpunk but I saw it played on a XBSX recently and it seemed playable. Some weird stuff but nothing game-ruining. Of course, that’s years post-launch and on probably the best console for playing it.

At this point the blubbering about glitches in every Pokemon article on here is more annoying than the actual glitches.

It doesn’t come out same day as Japan. SJ drops on Wednesdays in Japan. We get it on Sundays and sometimes Monday for some reason. Regardless, $2 a month is an insanely good deal, I’d recommend it to anyone.

Nah, it absolutely parallels him, as OP said, right now in the manga.

Some idiots bought a film bible (physical one-of-a-kind product, not an NFT) and thought they had the rights to produce a Dune movie.

Dunkey fan here. Dunkey’s actual reviews are titled “Dunkview”, which this Sonic video is not. Non-Dunkview videos are constructed for laughs. So people are looking at this video as if it’s something it’s not. Of course, that’s not going to be known to someone unfamiliar with the channel, so that’s where issues like…

You make it sound like I’m losing sleep over this or something. You do make a good point that I run a risk by going to game sites at all, but I’m hardly the only person in these comments that feels this way.  And I like going to game sites, god help me.

Notably there’s a new Pokemon article up now, also about leaks. But this one doesn’t actually give new information in the header, so I’ve got no issue with it. All I have to do is not click. Easy peasy. It’s true that entitlement is a huge issue in the gaming community, but this really ain’t it.

Not the rest of the world, just Kotaku. I wouldn’t expect to go to, say, a Pokemon subreddit and be spoiler free, that’s a ridiculous expectation. It’s not ridiculous to expect a professional gaming site to hide spoilers they got through leaks. As examples, Polygon and NintendoLife haven’t posted anything about this,…

Leaks aren’t “prerelease info”.

Is it truly that hard to imagine that someone might want to go into this game with some surprises remaining? I actively avoid spoilers so I can have as much of a new experience going in as I can. It’s not “woe is me”, it’s just my preference. You’re making some pretty ridiculous assumptions about me based on this.
