"Indie game titles take up way too much conference time"
Would you rather they have devoted an extra 10-15 minutes to Wonderbook?
It has to be conspiracy? It can't simply be that other people have a different opinion of the game than others?
Two completely different games.
I don't know what people were expecting. I was looking forward to a fun science-fiction shooter that I could play with my friends, and that's what I got.
Someone has their "ludicrous conspiracy" hat on today.
I'm curious what credentials (aside from just playing games) these guys have that make them experts on the subject.
There's nothing wrong with Metacritic, and thus it shouldn't go anywhere. The people who only know 0 and 10 ratings are the ones who should go.
Just when I thought this guy couldn't get any more paranoid/psychotic/biased.
"Your discussions range from "were you able to beat that boss?" to "I found this awesome secret the other day" to "so who's your favourite character?""
These discussions still exist en masse today. You're just being willfully ignorant because that suits YOUR agenda.
"You look around the internet to see that the discus...
Hate is such a strong word.
Don't forget the conspiracy theories.
"I don't see gamers trying to dictate what games are."
Really? I do. Every time you have gamers harassing/threatening gamers en masse, it usually because they didn't get what they wanted.
"I see gamers as trying to prevent others from trying to dictate what games are."
By dictating what THEY think games should be. Instead of just playing them, and not buying/ignoring what they don't like.
"I see gamers fed ...
Good. Serves them right.
What in the blue hell does one have to do with the other?
Don't like it? Don't pre-order it.
"I have no actual comeback and rather than acknowledge that there has been ZERO evidence of 'positive coverage' since this 'scandal' broke, I'll stick to pushing my agenda and parroting misinformation as long as it suits my point."
GG, sir.
"You're being willfully ignorant."
Says the guy who refuses to acknowledge there was no evidence of positive coverage. Says the guy who would believe that in a world where gamers ...
"Yep, everything is definitely on the up and up."
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. This is the INTERNET. If this positive coverage of Quinn's game actually existed, it would have been found by now. You know this. You're just conveniently forgetting it to boost your "argument."
"Wrong, she ORCHESTRATED it. She went on to 4Chan and spammed her kickstarter project all over it."
Proof, please. I've never hea...
"gave her game positive coverage"
Where? It doesn't exist.
"Sarkeesian orchestrated her onslaught of hate,"
All she did was make it more visible. She didn't put words in people's mouths. You guys played right into her hand.
"and so did Petit when she insisted on calling the gaming industry sexist for GTAV."
And she's entitled to her opinion. Don't like it? Too bad. That's the whole ...
I've followed this NONtroversy since day one, and there is zero proof of this alleged coverage of Depression Quest by the one journalist she slept with. You're proving my point about people parroting bullshit surrounding this whole thing.
"Sarkeesian, Petit, and Kross...You think ignoring these people will stop anything?"
Sarkeesian and Petit's names weren't in anyone's mouths until they endured an onslaught of hate and it made the news. ...
There is no Quinnspiracy though. This woman had a sexual relationship with a journalist, yes, but it didn't result in any favorable coverage about her game. There's no conflict of interests. People are just parroting bullshit at this point.
What most people fail to understand is that when it comes Sarkeesian, Kotaku, or anyone else you dislike, the best way to deal with them is to simply ignore them. If people stopped going to Kotaku, their influence would wane, or th...
Come on guys, if it was a video game collection you'd just be complaining about how it was "diverting resources" from MGSV.
