I realized Kotaku was complete garbage around the time Patricia Hernandez wrote a piece about how she knew her marriage was over when her husband "let her die" in Diablo III. I still can't believe she intercourse ing let that article go live, but then again every article she puts out is intercourse ing awful and I'm glad I don't visit that site anymore. Occasionally I see pastebins from people complaining about her though.

I realized Polygon was complete poop after reading that Dragon's Crown review. I'm not even upset about the score. I'm just completely appalled that she based 35% of her score off of the intercourse ing art style.

What about the gameplay?

Well, she spent most of the article trashing the art style and when she did talk about gameplay she clearly wasn't even a fan of the intercourse ing genre and on top of that it was "challenging" for her. Why the intercourse  is a trait like challenging a detriment? It isn't and these people intercourse ing suck at video games. It is almost like they are becoming IGN, who recently gave The Wonderful 101 a mediocre score because it was "too hard" and because "switching between weapons felt un-fun" or whatever it was they said. These people are part of the reason we don't get some of the harder japanese games over here and my patience with critics has run thin.

At this point I just don't care about scores anymore. I don't even want every game I like to be 10/10 or anything but intercourse , its just so obvious that paid reviews are a thing these days that it makes me cynical about the entire industry.

And yet when someone is reporting on news, they often get it from Kotaku.  They have to be doing something right if that's the case.

oh god what

I know they only have that pseudofeminist stuff on their site when they want views but darn

Wonderful 101 has so many reviews that call Wonder Pink sexist,  Wonder Green xenophobic, and Wonder Black racist. I'm guessing they missed the point of being over the top.
