This is an underrated and kind of dark comment. This singer is trying to sing in a language that isn't his mother tongue, and Kotaku is basically mocking him by going "haha, you said a bad word!"
To be clear, the ACTUAL line is "retort it". EDIT: Or it could be "retarget", there's no way to know for sure because the line doesn't show up on lyric pages.
The fact that this journalist skipped the easiest piece of information, which is look up the fucking lyrics on google, shows how stupid journalist can be.
My favorite Kotaku article is the one where a grown ass man says that shin megami tensei iv stole his "gamer pride" because he was bad at it and the game offered him easy mode
I think we all WISH it was out of The Onion, because then, it'd be funny and actually tolerable. This? This is as if somebody farted on your cake and called it a joke, all while a little bit of their ass and balls touches the frosting.
She has had multiple go-fund-me's, one which funded her gender transition. Wouldn't be surprised if there's another one that she has for living when the Kotaku moo-la isn't enough.

Right? It's like they have no clue what the DLC or smash as a whole is even about. Otherwise they'd probably know or at least guess that smash dlcs, including music, come from the original game of the added character.
Alright guys, let's stop bandwagoning on the team with numbers. The article sucked, but they very clearly state the song comes from Persona in the very screenshot shown in the video. In the same screenshot, it also claims that the "official lyrics" of the song don't have spoken word portion. So they clearly did try to search for the lyrics.

@@sparta2662 BAHAHAHAHAHA jason schreier is a dipshit who tries to corner people into bending to his standards and ideas to be considered acceptable. That interview he did with George Kamitani prior to the release of Dragon's Crown was disgusting and a total embarassment. The man was just answering calmly and he kept disqualifying his work, himself as a person, and implying he was all kinds of bad people because he didn't like certain aspects of the game and tried to make George say he will change them to appease him, but never picked the bait. He was behaving like a toddler who didn't get his candy. Fuck jason schreier, and go fuck yourself for looking up to him.
This makes me so happy because I love Persona 5 and I've listened to the opening song on repeat so many times and NEVER heard it the way the article said it
I love how the author is playing the victim now after being called out for being shit at her job. Who didn't even apologise to Nintendo by the way for this obvious slander.
There is a criticism I've seen repeated by reviewers many times for an old third person shooter called "Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard" that has always stuck with me. One of the main criticisms I saw was that you would go to a location, shoot a bunch of people and then moved to the next location to do the same thing over again. This is a third person shooter we are talking about here. The game did have its issues such as poor weapon variety. But I swear one of the most common complaints I was seeing from reviewers was that this third person shooter was in fact a third person shooter.

Apparently (And im not saying nintendo would ever release something with a slur because obviously theyre not stupid) Nintendo is very liberal with adult-themes in their private showcases with people like manages of gamestops for example. They'll have mario and luigi cuss in their private trailers and other stuff. This isnt to argue that Nintendo is racist or any of that BS, just an interesting fact i heard.

Beautifully said.
I will say that I have a lot of respect for Jason Schrier, as I think most of his articles are very well made and actually talk about important issues we care about.
Case in point: he was the one who wrote the BioWare Anthem article.
@@sparta2662 written by Jason Shrier
@@sparta2662 BAHAHAHAHAHA jason schreier is a dipshit who tries to corner people into bending to his standards and ideas to be considered acceptable. That interview he did with George Kamitani prior to the release of Dragon's Crown was disgusting and a total embarassment. The man was just answering calmly and he kept disqualifying his work, himself as a person, and implying he was all kinds of bad people because he didn't like certain aspects of the game and tried to make George say he will change them to appease him, but never picked the bait. He was behaving like a toddler who didn't get his candy.
Fuck jason schreier, and go fuck yourself for looking up to him.
I expected this from the onion...not an actual game magazine
Onion has standards
I expect this from polygon.
I guess kotaku is just as cucked now.

You're absolutely right. Who would say "Go Lions" at any point in their lives?
This makes me so happy because I love Persona 5 and I've listened to the opening song on repeat so many times and NEVER heard it the way the article said it
I love how the author is playing the victim now after being called out for being shit at her job. Who didn't even apologise to Nintendo by the way for this obvious slander.
We're gonna need a Genius lyrics breakdown on this one.

There is a criticism I've seen repeated by reviewers many times for an old third person shooter called "Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard" that has always stuck with me. One of the main criticisms I saw was that you would go to a location, shoot a bunch of people and then moved to the next location to do the same thing over again. This is a third person shooter we are talking about here. The game did have its issues such as poor weapon variety. But I swear one of the most common complaints I was seeing from reviewers was that this third person shooter was in fact a third person shooter.

That article was by Jason Schreier, aka the only actual journalist in the entire industry.

Thats not a "disability slur"- thats the technical medical term. Usually used to describe gaming journalist.
it’s outdated
Its mainly used as a slur now though, not in the medical field for most of the world.
Then there's the clip of Bowser seemingly yelling the N-Word in the Mario Kart 8 opening haha
Apparently (And im not saying nintendo would ever release something with a slur because obviously theyre not stupid) Nintendo is very liberal with adult-themes in their private showcases with people like manages of gamestops for example. They'll have mario and luigi cuss in their private trailers and other stuff. This isnt to argue that Nintendo is racist or any of that BS, just an interesting fact i heard.
@@bluewuppo Source? No? Then you're lying.
@@testname4464 Oh no it definitely is real. Nintendo is surprisingly mature off-the-books. I don't have the timestamp, but it is from a 9 hour long podcast where 2 former gamestop employees (manager positions) recounted their times working at gamestop.

"Let's get it started in here, let's get Gaming Journalism in here."
The funniest part is them mishearing the lyrics because of the singers japanese accent, makes this INSANE assumption racist.
In true Laura Kate Dale fashion there was no apology for being incorrect, but rather a passive-aggressive backpedal statement
I wonder when she'll finally alienate herself from everybody and all that's left is her twitter?
Is this something she does often? I only know her as the video game leaks person.
Who?
@@Hodge-_-Podge Wait, she's the one who 'leaks' shit? Like the one who gets more shit wrong than anything else and whatever she does get right is because it'd be impossible to get wrong like 'Nintendo will announce a pokemon game within the next five years' or some shit?
Can we call her racist for basically mocking the Japanese singer's English pronunciation?

Saying that "gaming journalism is a joke" is an insult to actual jokes. They at least take some level of effort, something this article clearly lacked.

Unless the review you want is for LEGO Star Wars.
Reminds me of J. Jonah Jameson's attitude towards retractions in Spider-Man 3
Obligatory plug for IGN’s review of Alien Isolation.
“Game too hard 5.9/10”
And then later had a segment with multiple “journalists” trying to justify it
Didn't they also say that it was too long wanting it to be a 6 hour game or something to make their jobs easier?
Yaseetheo - Yep. They were whining that the story makes it LOOK like it’s about to end but something goes awry and the story actually keeps going. I think it happens a couple times actually, I don’t remember now. But yeah, that was another complaint of theirs.
These are the same people who rated CoD Ghosts an 8.8/10 and CoD BLOPS 4 an 8.5. They can't be taken seriously at this point
They also claimed that it was too easy to get lost even though early in the game, you obtain the motion tracker that very clearly tells you EXACTLY where to go 90% of the time.
