It's a nice try, I suppose, but the fact remains that PC Zone magazine did a much better job with nihilistic games reviews.

Still better than Kotaku's 'review' of Microsoft Flight Simulator recently, which was a 2,000-word essay about cloud computing and whether you could really 'own' a game any more, that at no point in any of its meanderings actually discussed whether or not the game itself was any good. Or indeed offered any useful information about it at all.

/As a bonus, the original article spent the first third complaining that a certain landmark wasn't in the game, when it turned out it was there all along, and the reviewer had just got lost and couldn't find it.

Conservative Evangelical Millennial Cyclist: I'm the master at that shiat. Unless the string is a different length than on mine. That's like the computer cheating and shiat.


Attach some broken glass to the string and take your opponents head-on, you goddamn noob.

God, it's like I'm the only person here who has invested thousands of hours in the cup-and-ball pro scene.

You'll regret this tip someday. You'll know me by my mustard stains when the tournament resumes after covid.

Trust me when I say that I am going to grab your stick and there is nothing you will be able to do about it.


And I will tug your ball as I laugh.

I'm sure it's probably great but it looks ridiculous when it's on its side.

Just wait until you see how one of their writers is triggered by the holes built into the Series X.  Big yikes.

Wow, thats the first review I've ever read that was basically "Yeah, this is great and all, but does anything really matter anymore?".

That guy needs some time off!

Kotaku is gaming journalism for people who don't play video games.

Horizon West is going to be the bomb.

Cool, I guess buy them on eBay since the bots already bought all of them in the pre-order and have the Thursday release versions locked down as well?

In defense of this thing, in no particular order:

1) The "political" stuff was what, 10% of that by volume? Less?

2) If you're looking for an alternative reason to feel outraged by this tech writer lecturing you on politics, consider that this was a deliberate choice of everyone in the production process, and your reaction -- outraged clicks and talking about Kotaku's daaaaangerous video game reviews -- was part of their plan.

3) It's not like he's asking you to swallow the Communist Manifesto here. It basically boils down to, "Hey, Gen X succeeded in its wildest ambition: to make video games an adult art form and to build a legitimate community around them. But we also live in other kinds of communities, several of which are burning down or dying of plague. If you need to focus on that for a while, don't worry, they'll keep making these." It would take a sensitive snowflake indeed to be bothered by that, but hey, it's a big internet.

4) There are approximately 60 trillion PS5 reviews that won't mention Joe Biden at all.

Now, that all having been said, I acknowledge a potentially devastating counterargument:

State_College_Arsonist: This is the sad, pathetic millennial version of Hunter S. Thompson.


Never mind "sad, pathetic millennial." If the comparison with Thompson's masturbatory "sports" reporting is in any way valid, even a little bit, then I retract my defense and suggest we burn Kotaku headquarters to the ground.
