I love when people say they’re making CoD more “casual friendly”

Definitely intentional, they made multiplayer more casual friendly by removing the death count so new players can’t be mocked over chat for their KDR. This is Activision double-dipping by selling the feature back to the hardcore players.

I mean, was Blizzard banned from China after reversing that one dudes punishment? I don't think steam would be banned. And I'm confused why this is causing issues at all. Steam can simply not distribute it in China and skip localization for it there for good measure.  I'm not confused as to people's opinions, just why…

I see you’re needing to pad your article count. Can we get some decent articles instead of tabloid crap?

This article is well written and funny, which isn’t a surprise. I’m forever shocked at how hostile gaming journalist are towards games most passionate fans. Not being able to import all your pokemon or complete a national dex is a fine and valid complaint. The game sold and will sell incredibly well. Pokemon won, it’s…

It’s particularly dishonest because of the two groups, they are the ones fighting for one group to have less. Nobody is harmed if the entire dex is included. In fact, everyone gets more stuff. A rising tide and all that.

Fun fact: my mom saw the ads for a new pokemon game and asked me if I was getting this one. I said no. She knows I’m a huge fan of the series so she asked why. I explained that half the monsters are missing, then the company claimed it was to improve animation which was reused from previous games, and that now all the…

‘When you look at these people who raised you and instilled you with many of the values you hold dear, it can be hard to believe that they’ve somehow turned into uncompromising rage monsters who call game developers lazy and probably have some bad opinions on immigration,”

I dont understand why you guys have to be so condescending. Even in the “Shut Up About Dexit” article. Considering you guys are so insistent on us being toxic, you guys sure love to keep putting coal in the fire with these articles. Yes I’m disappointed by the several problems with S/S, but like you, I’m a fan and I…

One, it’s belitting the legit concerns and gripes people have with the game.

I’m not a Pokémon fan, so I had to backtrack through two articles to figure out why it would be condescending, but now I agree. It’s condescending.

WOW is this article condescending.

Jim Sterling did a great video about this recently that I felt touched upon the Dexit issue really well.

This is a bad take. It’s cool that you’re pumped to see Jolteon and Hitmonlee and Rhydon roaming around the wild area. It is equally cool for someone to be upset that they don’t see Bulbasaur, Squirtle, or Beedrill roaming around. I see a lot of these pieces that are framed like “Well you would never catch all 900+…

Counterpoint. No.

If you don’t plan on turning off the EXP share, trading online, or using all the Pokémon in the series then it’ll probably be an enjoyable game.

Of course this isn’t out in the US. Americans can’t afford ambulances.

Exactly this.  Kotaku.  You love video games.  Don’t post about these.  They get shut down within the day when you do.

No wonder he thought he could just straight up punch Mewtwo for being a dick.
