Seems like you’re taking this kinda personal.

This seems to be a very popular suggestion about how to deal with this shit.

As a JRPG fan I remember fondly the days NIS owned publishing rights for Atelier for this exact reason. Though KT is getting better about not being complete assholes with DLC.

So the solution is to stop playing video games? With an industry-wide problem, I don't think a less dramatic solution exists. While it's easy enough to say "Don't buy Dragon Age Inquisition because clearly things are left out for DLCs", it's a lot harder when you ask the question "Then what can I buy?" Without a…

I think she's supposed to be the kawoosh.

Well done, sir. Well done.

Comparing this to X-2 is a false equivelency. First off, X-2 is not a main-series installment. Secondly, there are very few games in the franchise as divisive in fan opinion as X-2; whatever you think of it, it can't be considered a resounding favorite and at least some, if not a large part of that was a powerful…

I feel like we shouldn't need this long of an article to explain that anthropomorphic animals aren't not what they very obviously are.

Awkward localization was a common plague of the PlayStation era. It was, in my estimation, a fantastic title with a common problem of the day. So was Final Fantasy Tactics.

That's a journalism standard practice, actually. Typically you need to be able to verify the veracity of a source and it's almost impossible with social media reports. It might be a dated practice but not a biased one.

What? Women in iconic rules? Not just a single token woman, either? Blasphemy! Rabblerabblerabble!

The question isn't if they're good, entertaining, popular or (as some commentators accused) Kotaku's competition, the question is if they committed a crime. The answer is almost certainly, though likely unintentionally. Worse, in my opinion, they run wildly afoul of journalistic ethics, which in the "wild west" of…

Unsettled was, to be fair, not my only emotion.

Lesbian otaku are pretty unsettled by it too. Gust's other project, Atelier, is so wonderful though.

So, if Hyrule Warriors is a flop, then it means that no one wants a female lead and women don't play Zelda? Stay sexist, game industry.

I'm not sure the answer is to leave the content out, though. Some compelling arguments have been made for art reflecting life... instead I think the answer lies in a mute realistic and nuanced approach to this sort of subject. I would rather use this element of games to help develop empathy, and explore the debate of…

Every subculture has their rude elements. How often do people look down on genre works in movies, literature or TV?

Minectaft guy is likely more recognizable than Washington or the original painting Sony parodied here.
