Kotaku PS5 "Review"

I still have the swimsuit issues saved. They're treasure.
14 year old me was sure happy to have them.

The same is true of the games too. I remember in Blacksite: Area 51 there was a scene during a car chase where the characters start talking about the US selling weapons to people who are now trying to kill them. It felt so weird and out of place. Now that kind of thing is common place.
Blacksite: Area 51 is probably the earliest example of this in video games, it's exactly the kind of ham fisted politics you see in modern media but it's a game from 2007, it's kind of unreal and has to be seen to be believed.

But it was brought to us by Harvey Smith, the man who removed women's underwear laying around bedroom floors from Dishonored 2 to try to please Anita Sarkeesian, because we all know how sexist it is to imply women wear underwear.

But the most egregious example in Blacksite: Area 51 I remember is during the mission where you're driving a humvee you come across a collapsed bridge and a black US soldier says "JUST LIKE IN 'NAWLINS" because a bridge being destroyed in the middle of an alien invasion happening in the middle of a desert is just like the levees breaking in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina, that's totally a thing a person would actually say and isn't something a complete and utter moron would write, nope, not at all.

Target Terror was supposed to be the real spiritual successor to Area 51, came out on the wii in 2004

 
"There's an irrefutable amount of privilege attached to be able to tune out the world as it burns around you"

Hell yeah there is, and I worked my ass off to earn that privilege.

Suck it dry, you cultish faggot.

It's like these people don't realize that at no point has the world ever been perfect, you could make the same argument against escapism with people fucking reading Peter Pan or whatever in the 1900s.

And why is a fucking video game website arguing against escapism in the first place? It's just fucking insane times we live in.

Because everyone has to agree with the One true Voice of Social media or nothing will get accomplished.

it's narcissism plain and simple.
 
Sorry Microsoft, you don't escape Kotaku either. You have Too Many Holes

Because gamers caused GamerGate and nearly killed all women and negroes by voting Trump into presidency.
At some point, these people will surely be dumb enough to just die off.
Also, archive

You are correct, because of Gamergate we forever got on the left's shitlist and we have to be browbeaten and guilt tripped at every opportunity instead of just allowed to have fun, I fucking hate it.

Remember how fun gaming culture used to be?

I remember being able to openly call people cunts without getting server banned. Good times.
 
That "too many holes" review is going to go down as a meme for this entire generation.

If I was advertising any sort of product, kotaku would be on my immediate shit list after these next gen reviews. Both are ultimately harming my product by shifting the hype to whatever soapbox issue the writer has.
 
I've been tasked with writing an exclusive review of this very topical console. But the President-elect white man didn't have a landslide victory, and I feel guilty because I'm supposed to be miserable and negative about everything, and you're supposed to be negative and miserable about everything, and I cannot find a shroud of hope, comfort, or something to hold onto. How am I within my "empathy" supposed to enjoy this PlayStation? Why is everyone else happy? What are they hiding from me? Why am I unable to bring them down to my level?

Remember how fun gaming culture used to be?
Gaming culture can still be fun. Play and enjoy the games, laugh with your nerds friends, and ignore sites like Kotaku. You cannot let people ruin your good time just because they are in the misery business. Dismissal is key to taking gaming "culture," such as it is, back from them.
