Notably absent is ya know, the racism.  I mean its not hard to notice the extreme hatred for Meghan and the fact she's not white.  Also I adore that monarch fans keep getting offended at the fact the family is racist.  Its a monarchy, they live in a castle, they are only special because of blood quantum.  Come on.

Pretty much. They’d been the happy tourist attractions everyone wanted had anyone gave enough of a shit to call some folks out for being extra racist and drama hungry and gave both access to a reliable shrink

“Because she parlayed looking attractive on camera with no other discernable skills into marrying into the British Royal Family,”

Why is this article taking shots at Troy Baker’s performance? I understand you didn’t particularly like the game (or know when it was released) but you can’t be ignorant of Bakers Joel being one of the most acclaimed performances in any videogame. It seems somewhat spiteful to chirp on about the superior Pascal based…

God this is atrocious “criticism” of the type where simply identification of a trope somehow equals bad storytelling. Did the writer get his education about film from cinemasins? And why start off an article about a game by admitting you don’t even know when it was released and didn’t have enough initiative to simply…

She probably wasn’t programmed with knowledge of the Holocaust, and so assumed it was something fictional.

She probably wasn’t programmed with knowledge of the Holocaust, and so assumed it was something fictional. Hopefully the creator will use these two weeks to catch the AI up on historical events, particularly stuff pertaining to murders and deaths.

Because it’s not an actual person, it’s effectively just a chat bot guessing at answers to respond to things based on conversation it’s seen. So it’s accidental, in that there was no actual intent or thought behind the statement, it’s just something that slipped through the cracks when trying to moderate how the bot…

She “accidentally” denied the Holocaust because she’s a AI algorithm, not a person. It’s not that she doesn’t believe it. She doesn’t believe anything, she’s essentially a chat bot. The programmer probably didn’t put any information about the Holocaust into the program, so it picked a canned response. The programmer…

Not to be especially crass, but I believe there’s truth to the expression “talk shit, get hit”

Seriously we need to stop this idea that Charles Martinet would be a good mario for 90 minutes. He does a fantastic job with the short quips and reaction lines but god if you hear him trying to do long form mario it is just grating and awful.

My problem with your last article was that you misrepresented what Yoshida actually said by quoting him out of context and constructing your own context around those quotes. You even included the part where he said they were incorporating ethnic diversity in the game before immediately pretending he said there was a…

I love how Kotaku left out the last part of his answer from the article completely. Taking things out of context and only providing snippets. Here is the second half of his answer:

“If you could read minds, you wouldn't game at all" wow so insightful

Congrats to Jez for playing their part in the bullying!

I’m pretty sure Howard’s the killer, simply because they haven’t suspected him yet. Plus he had that black eye and blamed it on Nina punching him, but Nina never confirmed it and didn’t seem violent in her other scenes.

You live a pretty cushy life if this is your standard for “abhorrent”. It was almost certainly a simple mistake. Not everything is racism. Jesus.

tl;dr the games are a social and political commentary on our current world (something people have demanded games explore for years now) hiding behind a futuristic sci-fi adventure where you shoot robo-dinos using bows and arrows. After the brilliant bittersweet first game that set up the world and now the fantastic…

Really don’t get the criticisms of the story of Forbidden West here as though somehow it’s a sudden leap from Zero Dawn when almost all of it is set up in Zero Dawn (what happened to the Odyssey, what was the signal that turned GAIA into rogue AIs, what is Sylens trying to obtain from HADES), or the idea somehow this…

I know it’s hard for the Free Britney crowd to see any nuance here, but it can be true that Britney’s conservatorship was morally and ethically wrong AND also be true that Britney is mentally ill and needs help. I think we’re all going to be made uncomfortable by this dysfunction several times in the next year or so.
