But the kind of ‘reasoning’ exhibited in the fake article is such a reach, even by the standards of the more outlandish stuff that’s appeared on Gawker, is kind of my point.

So what you’re saying is that a pay gap does exist, and it’s justified?

The anti-social justice mob basically thrives on nonsense like this. Here’s how it basically always goes:

Remember when satire was a form of humor, and not just a cheap excuse that assholes use when they’re called out for being assholes?

Oh no! People have different opinions than me and I can’t be strong enough to disagree with them in an adult manner so I have to pout about them “pushing their views” on me and call them SJWs!

I was thinking the other day, while reading Patricia’s Overwatch review, I couldn’t help but think about how enjoyable her writing style is to read. Every article of her’s has a depth of character that connects with me somehow, whether I agree or disagree, I’m always left with a deeper understanding of her topics. And…

Satire is not in and of itself an excuse to do whatever you want.

Go play somewhere else, then

It’s funny because they not only fabricated an article to undermine women who write about games, they also made light of rape in the process.

While Bastion definitely has counters, there are a lot of issues at play here, some of which you addressed. The fact that it’s so incredibly easy to be highly effective with him is frustrating as an opponent, he is typically set up pretty far down range so you’re going to have to get past the rest of his team to get…

If an advanced alien civilization was truly benevolent, it would mean that it grew out of the many social maldies that still plague us, which probably would make them much less prudish and more open to sexuality that we are. I seriously doubt our porn would weird them out, and in fact they most likely could teach us a…

In Poland, where this game was made, discussion and representations of sexual acts or human bodies are much more socially accepted than in the US.

It is the internet, people get pleasure out of trying to bring other people down. Rather than move on and shrug “This isn’t something I’d enjoy” such as say Barbie’s Horse Adventure (Yes I already preordered it, shut up don’t nag me!) people feel the need to let others with different opinions know they should feel bad…

I dunno...why be cynical? I wish I had that kind of drive, and could make 5 completed anythings in 2 years’ time.

That time was a fantasy. Gambling and match fixing are as old as sports.

Oh GOOD LORD.

Fortunately I purchased both, so I don’t have to plant a stick in the ground by my preferred game and trash the other.

Well said. And the most annoying thing about this whole thing is that this is the ONLY bad review. Fanboys are basically bitching that their game isn’t seen as Christ Almighty in all of it’s perfection or something. As if someone is going to look at Metacritic and go “Well shit...there’s all these glowing…

I’m not a huge fan of the series as a whole. The plot is mostly formulaic (you can see twists coming a mile away if you’ve ever seen an Indiana Jones movie) and the gameplay is nothing to write home about. Standard cover-based shooting and Tomb Raider-style platforming. Hell, Uncharted 4 even “spices things up” by…

That's how I was with Last of Us, I honestly just didn't really enjoy it at all, and friends of mine lost their minds when I said that. Me not liking a game doesn't mean their opinion should be altered. Different strokes for different folks!
