Locke087 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) There was an article here but it was from you know who so no interesting discussion can be had.

Jedi Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) Why are you giving Kotaku click revenue... They really don't deserve it. Edited February 25, 2016 by Jedi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tryhard Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) I've been very vocal on my dislike from the localization, but I've also seen many people going too far over it. That removed Saizo/Beruka support is pretty fucking dumb (probably the only thing with the localization that I could in good conscience call objectively bad, everything else is mainly my opinion) but people just be throwing piss and vinegar over it. As if yelling at the localization team is going to achieve anything. Lastly, Kotaku are still hacks who likely just want to milk the situation because they tend to be opportunistic fuckwads.

Alazen Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I wonder when Kotaku will admit the gay conversion therapy never happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really don't deserve it.*Shrugs shoulder* I use ad block so it not like they get a cent from me, also this article references the SF fan translation directly. Kotaku get enough enough views as it is I don't one link will help them that much. You guys want me to Redact the tread and make it about Leo being cool or something... (No really I will do it if you want... I am just kind of ambivalent to whole thing I just like interesting articles) Edited February 25, 2016 by Locke087 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukemind Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 They've caused us enough drama already, don't give them anymore clicks ...I agree Kotaku is bad but can I just say how much I like your avatar? I don't think Peri is a good person, but she is one of the most interesting I have every seen in a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrayClouds23 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) All of this stuff makes me laugh tbh. People do nothing but get upset over ever, single, little, thing, ever.

Tryhard Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 There's really no reason even to use the link, just use this archive link and you aren't supporting them if you actually want to read it: http://archive.is/N4ZWI It's not really that worth reading IMO since it seems to be speculative blog quality.

GrayClouds23 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Kotaku is nothing but a shit spewing website, and always will be. That will never change, this is what happens when people only want money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angienessyo Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Regardless of where it's from, I'm not sure if news outlets should really be reporting on fan translations. They're just begging Nintendo to send these guys a C&D. Companies tend to not really care about this stuff until it gets big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrhesia Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) What's everyone's objections to Kotaku? Do they make questionable donations or something?

NekoKnight Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) For all the shit people gave (and still give) Kotaku for their report on skinship being cut, they turned out to be completely right (although detractors will insist that the incredibly minor 'wake up spouse' and 'blow air at spouse' features mean Kotaku is a lying liar who lies and killed their dog). All I can say is... Regardless of where it's from, I'm not sure if news outlets should really be reporting on fan translations. They're just begging Nintendo to send these guys a C&D. Companies tend to not really care about this stuff until it gets big. But I agree they shouldn't be posting about this topic for this reason.

Tryhard Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) What's everyone's objections to Kotaku? Do they make questionable donations or something?Kotaku are known for attempting to be serious game journalists when it's convenient to get exclusive information or such, but falling back on their "we're just an internet blog site!" when they fail to act professional. They love posting controversial (or just asinine) content for the sole purpose of getting hits, I'd compare them to Buzzfeed in this regard. They have many accounts of them just being sleazy and unprofessional along with their parent company Gawker. They shouldn't even really be considered worthy of attention. I'm sure someone else would list much more of what they've done that is shit and provide examples, but it's really not worth my time to outline it IMO. "BWAAAAAAAAH KOTAKU LIED ABOUT FATES' SKINSHIP AND CAUSED A SHITSTORM. BOYCOTT KOTAKU, BOYCOTT BOYCOTT BOYCOTT BOYCOTT BOYCOTT" In a nutshell. The fans have been too sensitive when it comes to this game. I don't think people have boycotted Kotaku (at least those that have posted in this topic) because of the Fates localization. It's because of all the other shit they've already done. But yeah, they didn't lie about the skinship thing, and it's actually one of the only things I gave the slightest bit of credit to them for.
