I mean, the thing you “get” is the countless hours of entertainment you spend playing the game. It’s hardly nothing.

Why not just stop talking, though? 

“Chatter around Forbidden West has died down to a whisper. And when it picks up again, some fans will inevitably be left out of the conversation entirely.”

That was sarcasm, by the by. Don't do the State dept's propaganda work for them, alright? The CIA already has enough journalists in their employ.

Hey Kotaku! Now write an article about the United States’s warmongering foreign policy & history of unilateral invasions, assassinations, coup d’etat, drone strikes at funerals, arms sales around the world etc etc etc every time a US developer makes a game. Thanks a bunch!

I don’t agree with the person you’re replying to about much, but they have a point about that particular thing: lives are actually NOT on the line here. If JK Rowling loses ten million dollars? No trans lives are meaningfully impacted. If she gains ten million dollars? No trans lives are meaningfully impacted.

Whats the point of reposting all this hateful bullshit? Why masochistically bathe in internet poison again and again? Who gives a shit what these fuckers are saying? Jesus christ, people (good and bad) need to stop staring at screens for several hours a day. It's not healthy to absorb every stray brainfart that…

I don’t think you can make objective statements like “it’s not fun”. It’s just not fun For You. And that’s fine, obviously.

I long avoided souls games because I’m older and thought they would be too difficult. I played & beat ER though, and it’s lead me to go back to play several older souls games & souls-likes. I love…

Agree. Being a company in a capitalist economic system means that the people at the helm are pressured to extract every last dollar that they possibly can, however they can. Any opportunity to make money that they skip is regarded as malpractice.

Its simple: despite all the bullshit, it feels better than any other shooter.

no, not really. You just think saying so sounds clever.

I will be very sad if I cannot customize the color of the cat to make it look like my cat

I want to agree with you, but I feel like the actress who plays her hasn’t shown enough personality to lead a team? This might be just chalked up to the writing she’s had to work with though, hard to say.

Long been a fan of the character in the comics though. 

Agree with others: you’re holding “romance” in games to a higher standard than literally anything else it might simulate.

To be honest, I’d be a little grossed out if those types of relationships in games got much more involved? Games are for storytelling, real life is for relationships. It’s not really something I…

Why would you post this the day of release? The game isn’t even in peoples hands yet.

I deem this good

Ignore these other dolts missing the point, I think you nailed it.

That’s easy! Just go back and start the game when we did.

This game didn’t invent Syndicalism. Look into the civil war in Spain in the 30’s before Franco, it’s fascinating.
