But again, why not just go somewhere that isn't Kotaku? Consume the sites you support and let those you don't languish. I'd never think my opinion is important enough to control the media for everyone else, yet a lot of these folks definitely do.

Was planning on getting Smash Bros and a Link Amiibo anyway and this deal makes that purchase all the more tolerable. One of the rare times I'm okay with preordering, especially given the great 3DS game reviews.

Is it, though? That sounds much more like being one making demands that everyone cater to you. I feel as if not purchasing your "Beamer" or Brand X Mac and cheese is being a "thoughtful consumer" as opposed to trying to demand your chosen brands bend to your whim. By all means tell them you disagree with their choices…

You're putting yourself out there pretty firmly in this comments section, so I'm forced to ask: why are you not content to simply ignore the media outlets presenting material you don't like? I simply don't understand how attacking publications you don't like is anything but vindictive. I mean... What is the end game…

Cheers for being both a feminist and gamer and proud of both. It hasn't been easy to be either lately, so it's doubly challenging. Normally I don't get quite so verbose in the comments section but I was similarly fed up with this GamerGate stuff, as I saw this happening from those first posts from Quinn's ex right…

Setting yourself up as an unfairly demonized victim also helps, since every criticism levied at them can be dismissed as part of the martyr complex. "They're taking us down in the media because they're scared! They're the ENEMY anyway, so we know they're scared and we're winning!" Yeesh. I hope this passes soon. It…

Great question. A horrible attempt at rationalizing a movement I don't agree with, I suppose? I saw someone post it in the comments section earlier in the week and thought "Oh, god. Way to try to paint yourself as the reasonable, strong, good-intentioned ones and everyone else as irrational and self-serving...."…

Maybe you missed the edit...? I think its total nonsense as well. Hence the edit.

Because GamerGate supporters would never do that exact same thing while grasping for ethos...

If there were a time for gamers to rise up and cause a GamerGate to happen, it passed us dozens of times before. It could have been any of the dozens of times a game went always-online. It could have been any of the dozens of times a major publisher fucked with its players and paying customers. It could have been when…

I literally don't understand the point of this post. You're saying that you're behind GamerGate because.... people "hate on gamers"... Which they're doing because of GamerGate? I just don't get it. Then again, I don't understand why anyone is supporting this GamerGate thing in the first place since it seems to be…

So..... why couldn't they just add another disc, again? I feel like it's got to cost more in server costs to allow hundreds of thousands of people to download 20GB of data, so I don't even know how this is the case, since I cynically assumed it was probably production costs. I always find it interesting how, when…

Thanks for the heads up! I appreciate that I'm not the only one. I'll be finding out in a few weeks, I imagine, and I'll be excited to get to start from the beginning since it comes with both.

You never know! I just know I don't really care for sex meshed into games i don't think need them, but I like playing good and fun games, so Bayonetta presents quite the conflict for me. I'll probably get it anyway, but I think I'd definitely like it better without the sex wedged in there.

Maybe. Part of it is the fact that I know what I like and in terms of its style, Bayonetta isn't it. I'd be personally embarrassed to like it, but I like to share my hobby with my wife, but I don't know that I'd want to share this with anyone else, if that makes any sense.

That's my biggest fear in playing this game; I don't know if that will ruin it for me. I've seen a lot of rave reviews for it, but man, will I (personally, not through any fault of anyone else) feel like a loser playing this in front of my wife on the big TV, or like some kind of pervert trying to hide how awkward it…

Oh god. This ought to be good...

Situations like this whole GamerGate.... Thing... Only make me want to further distance myself from that label. I'd never use it in day to day life anyway, as it carries so much stigma as it is, but now even in our own community it's being wielded by some as a weapon to be nasty to people on the internet. I didn't…

Hyrule Warriors! I had no expectations of loving it, but decided to take a risk based on the reviews, and I'm glad I did. Never played any Dynasty Warriors, but liking the style of this game despite it not being my kind of thing.

But, we're supposed to throw ourselves on the mercy of all third party developers! If we try to make any kind of stand against being shafted by third parties, we're simply part of the problem, and we deserve to get nothing at all! Or so its been explained to me many times in these comments sections.....
