Except for, I dunno, reading the end of the sentence. You were awfully close though. If the only compromise is “slightly less pretty pictures,” I think you’ll find yourself in an incredibly small group of the over all gaming population that will either bankrupt the industry or be abandoned. The pretty pictures,…

I’d actually argue that this debate is so incredibly pointless that just bringing it up shows that you have more of an agenda than an actual point. Sure, if you define “home console” as a device you cannot take with you, then sure, they’ve abandoned the “home console market.” But since most people would absolutely…

It’s consumer friendly BECAUSE no one’s buying it though. These progressive appearing moves are INSTEAD of exclusive content unfortunately...

I wouldn’t say it didn’t change the narrative of Xbox exclusives. In January, we were talking about how the platform had no worked exclusive games and now we’re talking about how, if it ever actually gets any, they’ll all be terrible. Progress?

Except they really didn’t. I guess this is that awkward teenage phase where haters call a feature a “gimmick” and people who know better call it innovation? The hardware race has been stupid for years, finding something meaningful to do with that power is the real way forward and Nintendo hit it out of the park.

Just cancel it already... Given Microsoft’s track record, and what we’ve seen of the game already, it’s going to suck anyways so why continue to string us along? And it’ll end up being some awful “Live Service Game” that’s better on PC and launches half developed and without any content.

How about you just not look at it? Or maybe even go to another community where they don’t post this sort of stuff? I understand that, politically, this country is as fucked as fucked gets, but can we please just find a God damned center and all tolerate each other for a change? The people who run this site said “you…

While I will completely agree that it’s crazy, after having wasted >$100 on the game on different platforms and played a grand total of about 10 hours, I dropped another $60 on it for Switch because I wanted to let something to keep me glued to my Switch another 100 hours and, yes, I finally completed the game. Every…

Agreed. Most people don’t care about loot boxes in games because they’re exploitative and don’t contain anything “important.” However, they’re a billion dollar industry. The vast minority of people paying that amount is literally how the casino industry works. You’re essentially endorsing Bobby Kotick taking advantage…

“Lol, thank you for that laugh, not reading more than the first sentence though.”

Seriously. Another post with no actual point related to the topic and a petty school yard insult. I haven’t even insisted that I’m right about the issue because you haven’t had a point pertinent to the discussion since your FIRST POST. I honestly wouldn’t even be responding to you if every post wasn’t so dripping with…

... Dead thread? Is that supposed to be cute? Yep, you sure ended the raging debate about the ethics of online casinos marketed at kids and addicts for the sole purpose of maximizing profits for minimal work didn’t you? The post was long but ultimately pointless and completely ignores the very real issue of…

Seeing how unsuccessful you’ve been? I’d say the best approach would be to literally do the opposite thing you would do in all walks of life. Maybe clean up your act before you go teaching others, you “insufferable twat (oh look! Another school yard insult!)“

Seriously, I can’t tell if you’re pranking me or not. Let’s examine the post:

Again. One. Big. Giant. LOL.

Lol, I really need to learn how to do quotes on the mobile site, because I honestly can’t tell if Kotaku commenters are this ridiculous for comedic effect or if you honestly don’t notice.

Why is it that, seemingly only on Kotaku, that there ALWAYS has to be an argument, even if everyone’s on the same side of the argument? Is it that I said something bad about the Golden Boy Overwatch?

P.S. If you honestly don’t care about loot boxes and never purchase them, Activision/Blizzard would ban TEN of you from the game if it would net them a SINGLE “paying” customer (completely disregarding the fact that you paid to get the game in the first place since they don’t really.care about that either). Quit…

So there’s an option to start the game so that you don’t receive them and can earn the cosmetics through in game unlocks? Or did you also miss the point entirely? Yep, that’s what I thought. 100% means 100%. No caveats. Not even sure what point you were trying to make about kids, but “if you can’t control yourself”…

Straw man after straw man. You certainly did master the art of arguing with idiots on the internet in 2018 didn’t you?
