Well, you seem like a really pleasant person. Sorry I’m not up to your standards, apparently. But I’ll live with it.

I think you misunderstood. This guy threatening your life is actually a sincere cry out for a discussion about ethics in gaming journalism.

Ready? Here we go!

Shut up PC master Race, stop port begging like a pleb.

Spongebob did it first!

He’s loathe to criticize a video game for not being a political treatise, but the game acts as though it had something to say meaningfully, politically.

The DOOM reboot came out and nobody is going to criticize it for not being political. Homefront: Revolution dresses itself up like it was making a serious political…

Each episode is entirely self-contained. Like Final Fantasy, the series is joined together by thematic references.

Riiiiiight, because developers having to weigh in on smearing campaigns around the reviewers of their games is usually a sign of things dying down. Literally no one knew about this before this article! Silly Kotaku, always whipping up “controversies” out of thin air.

Yeaaaaah, but... you’re kind of that guy saying, “Apple didn’t invent the mp3 player,” “Amazon didn’t invent the ebook.” Technically correct? Sure. For all practical purposes? Not so much. They invented the market for it, and refined the technology beyond the novelty phase.

Fantastical silliness? What in the world are you talking about? Comic books have regularly tackled heavy hitting issues, and while most of the time historically they take a less serious aspect, this hasn’t been the case for 30 years! We’re not talking about a Dora the Explorer or Blues Clues movie, we’re talking about…

Except most of the reviews I’ve read are essentially saying, “This movie is no fun . We wish we could turn our brains off, but they keep trying to cram in themes and heavy, portentous stuff that makes no sense.”

This movie is doing everything it can to portray itself as smart and thoughtful. The filmmakers are not telling you to turn your brain off.

See, you say “a few here and there,” but that's honestly not true. There's a huge amount of people- especially in the middle of the United States where big cities are less plentiful, that don't have reliable internet connections, especially ones that can support always-online features. There are service members…

The game looks beautiful, and the concept sounds interesting, but every time I read a story about Orth, it ends up leaving a sour taste in my mouth. It always bothers me when I hear him talking about what happened to him as though it didn't stem from him being a jerk to his company's customers on twitter. I guess it's…

I’m sure the game will be fine on it’s own merits, but can you blame Metroid fans for wanting a proper Metroid? I’d love a proper new Prime or even a new 2D Metroid based on the SNES and GBA series. I don’t care about this game at all, adding the game to the Metroid Universe just feels like a branding decision.

I’m glad we live in a world where there’s “options”.

There is combat, but not in the way you think. In the mines, which you go into to find ores and gems, there are monsters that will attack you. You are given a sword by an old man in the cave (yes!), and can buy better swords and equipment, but it’s more in line with Zelda than RF in terms of combat. Other than the…

Yes, because there’s no greater, cohesive meaning being conveyed by the holistic experience. It’s just a bunch of puzzles slapped inside a “walking simulator.” And yet, I somehow get the feeling that if there were guns, big explosions, and grappling hooks, the game would suddenly be a bargain at $40.

And again: there is no significant group of people saying you shouldn’t be able to buy it. That was a fabricated story.
