“‘What did my family ever do to you to warrant these decades of harassment and your constant bullying disguise as jokes?ʼ”

I couldn’t be bothered to play the Sword/Shield DLC when it came out but I’m completely on board with this, I loved Violet and I’ll be happy to come back in.

Honestly I think the revelio thing is fine for all the reasons you outlined. However, the alohamora minigame for picking locks is completely nonsensical. Like, there’s a repair spell that just fixes literally anything including gigantic structures and bridges with a wave of a wand, and it requires no user mini-game.…

It was always going to sell a lot, the people buying it don’t frequent Kotaku

Why is someone who’s never played a video game before writing an article on a video game website?

Now, however, a protagonist who is imbued with ancient magic, ostensibly chosen because of their valor, can cast those curses with ease? Make it make sense!

I do like the game well enough, not as much as other it seems based on reviews, but I feel like we still didn’t get anywhere close to the Hogwarts game I always wanted. The decision to have you be a 5th year transfer was odd from the start, and you seem to just be a mercenary rather than a student trying to learn…

are all the staffers assigned to cover Hogwarts just going to make dumb suggestions for alternatives. There are 2 choices: 1. don’t play the game bc “taking a stand” by not buying a game is the equivalent to doing SLIGHTLY more than nothing, because you’re boycotting in the wrong direction. you can have a stupid take,…

“Culture-shocked American Person Can’t Relate to Eastern Social Norms and Offers Solutions on How To ‘Fix’ Them”

You’re telling me that the series that had a literal gay panic dungeon in one game doesn’t have a decently-written gay relationship?  I’m shocked.

So Kotaku posts are just Shipwars now? Jesus Christ.

I get where you are coming from. But implying that 2 dudes being friendly with each other should be gay also diminishes that 2 dudes can also be open with each other and trust each other in a way that isn’t “toxic masculinity”. What I mean to say is they are best friends who care about each other. Atlus definitely…

Hear that, kids? Never criticize anything popular.

Every other company, and Nintendo in the not-so-long-ago days, would put their first-party games at $20 after a year or two. Now Nintendo never sells games for less than $40 even a decade after the original version came out. It’s awful and indefensible. A $10 discount through some weird system doesn’t make it…

Its fascinating isnt it? Nintendo is release 2016 level content at 2023 pricing and the fanboys will just say “well dint buy it then “ 😂 

The Nintendo-can-do-no-wrong crowd is almost as fascinating as the Tesla bros.

“meaning you can effectively get one of the most anticipated games of 2023 for just $40 if you’re willing to effectively buy another game at full price.”

My office in NYC is a few blocks from a what is literally a giant Harry Potter merch store. Nothing more. But, it is always busy. Always. So to say the world as a whole even knows what JK Rowling said about trans women is kind of a leap. This is also to say if they found out they wouldn’t care, it’s more to say that…

Buying or not buying this game literally doesn’t make a difference. I’m trans and hate the author who shan’t be named(legit think we should stop using her name lol) for her incredibly offensive views on people such as myself, but at the same time love Harry Potter and will most definitely be buying this game.

The only thing that matters here is there is a game, it's well regarded by critics from a game play perspective, and that's about it. The amount of hate I've seen towards people who want to play the game, or towards people who have been streaming it.. it puts those people in the same camp Rowling is. The "piece of…
