Baller move. Yeah, don’t tell people things will be outside and then just construct a building in an outdoor space. That just makes it inside again! I’ve seen so many restaurants do this - offer outdoor space, then essentially build another building in the street with four walls and a ceiling. You just recreated…

or trying to choose words carefully as not to give any ammo for someone to twist into something that isn’t there.

Let me get this straight. Your complaint is that two weeks to allow them to package everything up into a television episode showing the cool footage is too long to wait? 

Anyone else remember when Gizmodo was excited for new developments in science, technology, and engineering?

I remember during the spring and summer of 2020 it was impossible to find a Switch. I remember speaking to employees at my local Walmart, and they said whenever they received new Switches, they’d sell out in less than 5 minutes. For a while the only way to buy one was through eBay, or a local classifieds website. Even…

“#Puddlegate all over again.”

I daresay that you don’t hate most of the gamers. The amount of people that you see rambling nonsense on social media platforms are a very loud and idiotic minority. 

AC’s flying is just so... ground focused.

We all complain about the clickbait titles, but these writers/editors are probably being coerced by the management. After all, without the clickthroughs to articles with ads, who is paying to run the site and pay the staff?

Just. Don’t. Tweet. That’s the main lesson here. There is literally no upside to using Twitter in 2021.

Even the saintliest folks do and say dumb shit sometimes (and I’m sure Trebek was no exception), it’s just that prior to social media most of the dumb shit you said disappeared into the ether immediately.

The thing is, this isn’t an artistic choice. Nor is it an issue with budget constraints. The Pokémon company isn’t a small studio and Nintendo isn’t a small publisher.

I agree that people frothing at the mouth over this is silly, but I also find the dismissive attitude that Kotaku has taken on this topic strange.

Is it really a waste of time to make a background element look decent when it’s going to end up covering 25% (or more) of the map? The game is about roaming around in nature…

at least RDR2 has great horse animations (imo). Riding around in any other game after that just feels... janky.

One of the many annoying things about fandom is that it’s so loud and whiny that valid complaints are lumped in with feral screams.

Suffice to say I don’t agree with this particular take. There’s things to get excited about in this game, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t raise an eyebrow at odd choices or call out things in the trailer that don’t look good.

On the one hand, I’ve been playing Ghost of Tsushima and it’s amazing how dense the grass and foliage is in that game and how it all blows in the wind. I think about how cool a Pokemon game could be with that fidelity.

This is a weirdly defensive article, and a weirdly circle jerky comment section... What are yall doin, yall ok? It’s just fucking Pokemon.

No because Fortnite itself is a derivative of PUBG while most shooters are derivatives of the Halo formula, 4X strategy games are derivatives of first board games and then mostly Civilization, and Among Us is basically just a version of Mafia and we don’t have a problem with those things doing something better or in a…
