[QUOTE="Davekeeh"]
I asked him 10 times why he calls me a racist, and he never gives me an answer, so i'll just let him be. I'm not the only one he calls a racist either.

Here: http://www.gamespot.com/forums/topic/29381735/will-metro-last-light-cement-eastern-european-domination?page=0

It's just his "thing" I guess.

oh :P :)

I don't know him very well, but what I do know is that he has serious anger issues. He uses foul language in almost all of his posts, and he even wanted to fight another person on this board.

:| Wow, sounds like he takes this place a little too seriously. But i'd have to take your word for it, tbh I don't really remember peoples outbursts, there are so many.

I hear you, but whatevers going on with you guys, it's probably best if I don't get involved. Maybe you guys will sort that out someday. :)

The primary thing I don't like about Kotaku is all the left-wing, pc crap on there. Why all the preachy articles about sexism, racism, etc? It's like they're always trying to prove to anyone that'll listen how intellectual and compassionate they are. Imo people that go on and on like that are fakes; pretentious, plastic, holier-than-thou blowhards. Just talk about games and leave the bs posturing to the clowns in Washington and the 24 hour news networks.

But isn't the sign that people are talking about these issues in games, a sign that it is maturing from the SNES whatever past, to an artform that like others, deals with these things? Like with music and film. Maybe it's good here and there that articles discuss it.

Although i'm not familier with Kotaku, I only come accross it when people bring it up in threads here.

Flakes with entirely too much time on their hands are talking about these subjects as they relate to games. To anyone with a few firing neurons in their head they are non-issues.

http://kotaku.com/why-im-a-little-bit-worried-about-kinect-1381738496

"....But that was the 10%. During the remaining 90%, Kinect felt like it was a hindrance, forcing users to swim against the giant leaps Microsoft made with Xbox Ones user friendly UI, which looks fantastic. Sure, I can turn Kinect off thats my choice. But I still have to pay for it. I dont have a choice there....."

Kinect is still a mess. What a waste....this is what MS force consumers to pay 100 bucks for

-Damien-

One man's opinion doesn't equal fact. I'll judge it for myself once I get a Kinect. I was pretty happy with the original Kinect. Dance Central, Kinect Sports, Kinectimals, Kinect Adventures all worked pretty well for me and my family. Sure there were some delays here and there, but nothing that killed the family fun. People who don't want the Kinect in the box, can buy the XB1 on Ebay seperately. I'm sure someone will be selling the system only after it launches. Wait 2 yrs when M$ eventually releases it without the Kinect.

lol. You said Playroom is looking awesome.


More impressive than what I've currently seen on the X1

Look at how much fun she's having

PLAYROOM is CRAP. Don't you need the Eye Camera to use it? :lol:

So you're going to run out and SPEND $60 on the Eye Camera to play that Dave? I doubt it!! :lol: :lol:

Sure it looks fantastic to you, but you ain't going to buy it? ;)

Flicking robots? Now you have lost all credibility. It's ok to hype things, just not everything.


I've actually gained more credibility, show me a game on Kinect that looks more fun than that

Just close your eyes and pick one. lmao!! That's kiddie weak sauce.

My derision for them has nothing to do with politics and non-game journalism: it's how ignorant and amatuer some of the articles seem pertaining to games. It's as if they aren't gamers. They post rumors, false/misleading information and everything the like.

I could care less about their politics, in fact, if they post progressive ops power to them.

I also think their commenting system is shit. You have to wait until the author decides to allow your comment to post. They don't like what you say, your comment dies in some greyed out twilight zone off page. Your comment doesn't even have to be offensive, they can just leave your comment to die if they don't like it.

Yes this too. I tried to comment correcting their mistakes, and my polite (I tried) remarks never saw the light of day. Censoring comments in addition to misinformation is a bad mixture.

I emphasize the bolded: it is complete shit

Selectively quoting an article when everything else is 100% praise for the system and its games. Even the quote you posted notes how fantastic the UI is. LA-Nighthawk

Gotta suck to know that a system you're about to buy is going to force you to pay for such a shitty gaming tool. They REALLY need to offer a kinect-free version of this system. Their sales will easily increase by removing this crapper, that's pretty certain at this point.

I'm pumped about the Kinect. Subtle things like head-tracking in BF4, turning on my console while I'm taking my work clothes off and recognizing who's holding the controller and automatically assigning their preferred control method in specific games. It's all in the details and potential. 

 

Over the course of a gen it's like $12 a year, that's 2 Subway sandwiches...it's nothing.
