I don’t mean Phil, I mean actual platform leads and console execs.

Industry players used to talk shit like this ALL THE TIME, and I deeply miss it. 

KOTOR was a bad game?  How much crack did you smoke before you made that comment?

I’ll start this by saying that anyone is free to feel insulted by whatever they feel insulted by. But I - an Asian-American living in a third world country - really think this criticism is stretching a bit.

I actually don’t think using a real life aesthetic makes you have “a responsibility to grapple with its history.” I see the rice hat idea is being a bit more questionable, but “they didn’t insert a painful history lesson about a real life community (that had nothing to do with the story of their game)“ is... a plus?

Yet this site name is Kotaku. If there is a sense of irony about “appropriation” being ignored here... *shrugged*

Which is EXACTLY what you’re doing. Having a scroll through the comments and neigh NO ONE brought it up. But hey, whatever makes ya feel special. 🤡

Living a day in your life must be really depressing.

The victimhood is strong with you

No one is bitching about that, settle down

Why are gamers so angry

This is a weird-ass take.  Are you feeling OK?

I’m sure computers can play single player games better than you as well.

Kotaku has quickly become the garbage negative bully reviewer. I used to come here for great articles with honest opinions but now it’s like you’re trying to find issues with every single game.

Since cars can outrun any human, why continue competing in track.

I mean, there are a ton of things we can’t do better than a computer, but sitting around being complacent and letting a machine do everything isn’t fun for everyone. Besides, beating another human at chess has nothing to do with computers in the first place.

This article seems to have been written by a person who never bothered to see a video or read the game’s description before purchasing it.

I wouldn’t write it off based on this one review. Every other one I’ve read has been pretty overwhelmingly positive. Kotaku has become notorious for writing negative, condescending, clickbait titles since the scandal a few years back and subsequent staff changes. I only come to scan headlines and see if I’ve missed…

Heaven forbid a video game be a game. Like wtf is turns into gamey gametown? That’s like saying “Citizen Kane was great but then it descends into filmy filmtown.” Yeah, that’s what it is.

They are a hacker group that extorts companies for money. They were never the “good guy”, just a group that happened to previously target a group/groups people disagreed with.

Companies, hacktivists, activists, government bodies, none of these are your friend, they do not have your best interests at heart, and you…
