Bahahhaha. This is totally individualized. First of all. And people don't change, second of all. You should never ever ever get online and preach again. You don't understand reality at all.

People are the exact same they were 1000 years ago, you fucking psycho. People don't change kid. Grow the fuck up and stop whining so much. Your life is your fault. You've been given opportunity most everyone from the past 20,000 years could only dream of. You're a loser and we didn't do it. We tried to help. You did it. You are that

I thought kotaku finally went down a few months ago?

No that was Deadspin, the 'sports' blog that barely ever actually covered sports and when they did they targeted a non-sportswatching audience. As opposed to Kotaku, a 'gaming' blog that barely ever actually covers games and when they do they target a non-gaymer audience. Easy to get them mixed up

Well it did cause all that memorable drama so it kinda deserves to be there.

It started WW3

It's what got trump elected

tbh Depression Quest drama seems really lame in hindsight. All of it pre-GamerGate was just ZQ whining about wizardchan or how a pepsi guy offended her female sensibilities.

Well it was definitely in the top 5 in terms of impact on the world.

There are people who unironically think it started off the chain of events which led to Drumpf's election.

B-BUT STEVE BANNON...!

and people who unironically think that, if it did, that's a bad thing

Saying it lead to Trump's election is dumb. Saying that it made a few intelligent/observant people realize the power of memes as propaganda for rallying a large demographic of disenfranchised young men to their causes... That is valid and fairly well documented.

Which is specifically what the list is about, not quality lmao but I bet they successfully farmed all the clicks they were looking for with this gay little article.

Not really. I'd say LoL, Minecraft, DotA, cs source, tf2 all had greater impacts this decade on the Industry

They also picked Mass Effect 3, in case you were thinking this list was anything besides "we shat out retarded hot takes for clicks, please link our article, please!"

I imagine the autists in KIA are currently working themselves up into a lather over Zoe being included at all though.

I imagine the autists in KIA are currently working themselves up into a lather over Zoe being included at all though.

Imagine being this fucking retarded to think anyone gives a shit.

Whenever KIA has another spergout, I care.

Zoe Quinn and Anita owe their entire career and legacy to fat, angry NEETs who hate them.

true pottery.

Defaced and vidyapilled

alpha move tbh

Literally the #2 post on kia right now 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

I'm sorry you're mad by virtue of posting in reddit's local safe space for terminally autistic rightoids mad about their titty games but I'm still gonna laugh at how all of you get triggered over obvious bait.

Imagine being this fucking retarded to think anyone gives a shit.

It's literally the point of this sub you new faggot.

At least those were actual games. And Mass Effect 3 was iconic and good until the end anyway.

Bullshit you could definitely tell it was a rushed cash grab from the start! I am still salty that it didn't live up to expectations set by ME1. I unironically believe the best part of the game was the multiplayer.

Either way you've both outed yourselves as gamers 🤢🤢🤢

Depression Quest is a game

It's more of a series of hyperlinks.

Wikipedia needs to add some BGM and a couple of cut scenes before it's declared an MMO and wins GOTY

A bad one

the entirety of the Mass Effect series is pure garbage for retards who don't know what good writing or good game design is.

it's literally just a vehicle for shut-ins to """"""""romance"""""""" overly idealized NPCs

The first was a legit game though.

Not it's fault that the series turned to a softcore alien porn simulator for neckbeards.

Mass Effect was a narratively confused disaster for all of its sequels and thinking 3 was good until the ending is a classic sign that all you cared about was your space waifus.

Maybe. This blue girls were cute though.

The space gypsy was my favorite. And let's try to forget about Shrek's cameo and the camera's obsession with his distractingly high-poly ass.

Shamys Young wrote a novel on why Mass Effect 3 sucked. Readl it and be healed.

I'm a huge fan of that novel and that's why I referred to all Mass Effect sequels as narratively confused disasters. Everything went off the rails when Mass Effect 2 tried to turn Trek-style "hard sci-fi" into Star Wars.

Also all those games are apparently better than Skyrim which isn't even on the list.

Wasn't Skyrim a 2009 game?

in the first paragraph

This isn’t a list of highlights. It’s not here to remind you of monumental shifts, or of astonishing lows, or wonderful surprises.

this sub was always a bunch of illiterate retards but lmao this is a new low

>games of the decade

>not highlights

in only one comment, we've reached another new low of illiterate retardation. OP wrote "games of the decade". The article is titled:

"The Decade in 5 Games"

which is talking about the 2010s using games, not talking about games in the 2010s. Which you'd know if your undeveloped reddit-poisoned frontal cortex could read more than the title.

Actually clicking the link

What are you, fucking retarded?

"The Decade in 5 Games"

lol tf you think that implies

you see that weird string of symbols and runes at the bottom of my comment? Those are called words in the english language and they actually answer your question!

ok pizzashill jr

when i mention the things that define a decade i often just pick randomly and avoid highlights too

you should stop being smug lmao u too dumb

Also all those games are apparently better than Skyrim which isn't even on the list.

That's because Skyrim is garbage.

Lmao.

he's not wrong though

Imagine having such a trash opinion just so you can be a contrarian.

I understand why people like it because I myself put 100 hours in it, but it’s not a fun game, you just think you’re having fun. That’s my experience with it anyways.

"I don't like it, so it's not fun for anyone" - retard

Hey if your iq is low enough that you’re able to enjoy copy pasted quests endlessly more power to you man

Lol skyrim has hundreds of hours of content before even touching a radiant quest. Just because not every second of content isn't voiced over by some grey headed autistic boomer doesn't mean it's not good.

It's garbage, it's the videogame equivalent of eating plain bread for hours and hours, dull world with shit rpg mechanics, shit outdated jank game engine, worse than oblivion and morrowind etc.

Literally only the game engine thing engine thing is true. How are you morons this wrong.

It's just bad oblivion which is just actiony morrowind

Lmao what a trash opinion.

can't be more trash than Depression Quest lmao

Also all those games are apparently better than Skyrim which isn't even on the list.

or witcher 3

or gta V

Ehh, broken age was a good game, but that's about it.

And why not MA 2, wtf.

[removed]

I can understand Broken Age kinda, even though no one really cared about it, the trend of crowdfunding it's associated with was a feature of the decade.

Gamergaters were right

For all sad words of tongue and pen, the saddest are those.

Gamergaters are basically right about everything, at least if you can see in between the autistic screeching about there being SJW's hiding under every rock.

Sorta like how Tariq Nasheed is batshit crazy, but not entirely wrong with his hot takes.

Alex Jones too. The world is run by paedos who want to suck the joy out of everything for profit, they're just not literally demons. When you think about it, everyone is right about everything they just say it the wrong way.

Tariq nasheed is borderline retarded on some things yet right af on others its kinda funny

gamergaters get baited by kotaku #5937

hmmm

If gators didn't pitch a stupid nerd fit, Zoe Quinn would have died in obscurity

Lmao I doubt even Quinn remembers that fuckin game

Benzo abuse causes memory loss.

Still waiting on the multiplayer patch

It's called "Suicide Pact" and it's not a game.

Permadeath

Man what is with Drama, yesterday claims that an all women Fight Club was coming (its not) and now that kotaku is claiming these are the top games of the decade (they arent).

This isn’t a list of highlights. It’s not here to remind you of monumental shifts, or of astonishing lows, or wonderful surprises. Instead, its aim is to tell a story. One story, occurring alongside and intersecting with many. Again, it’s not the only one. But it’s one we shouldn’t forget.

Gay as shit but thats no reason to be retarded op.

Gawker interns at work

Welcome to /r/drama, gentlemen!

Imagine being such a faggot to need to misrepresent kotakus gay shit rather than laughing at the terribleness of the article for what it actually is

Did someone say GAMERGATE?

I'm not enough of a waste of life to care about gamergate, can someone create an analogy to explain what this is like using fine art or dining?

You're enjoying a fine dinner in a good restaurant and suddenly two tards strat fighting with socks that have a steaming turd inside. They make sure to splash turd bits everywhere and now you can't enjoy your food and everyone is screaming and complaining and seething. And now you're forcer to go back to your place, take a shower, burn the clothes you were wearing and go to another restaurant, where, sadly, the tards will end up following you to.

Zoe Quinn is like Harry Potter: as a young child Harry was almost killed by Voldemort (Zoe's ex boyfriend), and then the Death Eaters (gamergaters) started harassing all the Hogwarts students (anti-gamergaters). As a Gryffindor, I am on the front lines defending against the evil Death Eaters. A Muggle like yourself could never understand.

Art magazines suddenly start writing articles about a new painting about depression, only it isn't really a painting in the traditional sense and doesn't hold up to any artistic scrutiny. It displays several signs of being created by a rudimentary artist; perspective, proportion and shading and poorly executed and it doesn't really pose any questions or provoke any interesting discussion. People who have experienced depression also say it doesn't accurately represent their experiences.

People are confused as to why it's receiving so much media attention.

One day, the ex-boyfriend of the "artist" writes a blog post ranting out how she cheated on him while they were in a relationship with Five Guys(tm) all of whom either have jobs within the art media industry or are otherwise members of a relatively new artist clique known as "The San Francisco Indie Scene".

An art appreciation website known as 4chan notices the links between the Five Guys she cucked her ex boyfriend with and the articles that were written about her painting. In doing so, numerous other conflicts of interest were found amongst other members of The Clique and the media. They also notice all members of this clique seem to share the same political ideology.

The media decides to rally together, smear the art connoisseurs of 4chan as "misogynists" and declare "art enthusiasts don't have to be your audience any more. Art enthusiasts are over."

The art connoisseurs form a group named "Artgate" to combat these perceived conflicts of interest and fight against the political ideology held by The Clique.

That's nice sweaty. Why don't you have a seat in the time out corner with Pizzashill until you calm down, then you can have your Capri Sun.

I am a bot. Contact for questions

I'm glad someone remembers how gamergate actually started. Retards keep saying the zoepost was the cause. It wasn't, it was just an initiating event. GG would never have happened if not for the whole gamers are dead thing, from every outlet simultaneously.

I know for a fact that "Depression Quest" is not a game about locking yourself in your apartment and masturbating in between naps and therefore such a game is misleading horse shit.

locking yourself in your apartment and masturbating in between naps

Dagger to the heart

No. That's Yume Nikki.

[removed]

I don't think she's going to have sex with you people again, Kotaku.

It barely constitutes a game. It has almost no interactivity.

Someone should interview the two guys who made "Depression Question" I am honestly curious about how they feel about all this.

Two guys?

Zoe Quinn is actually 2 male dwarves in an overcoat.

Yeah she got two guys to write a video game for her then proclaimed herself a video game developer. This was before she raped that guy I think.

Gators seething forever

They spent two paragraphs bitching about Notch too.

Wait, do people still read kotaku?

Tales From the Borderlands

Broken Age

lmao yeah two slapdash ass by-the-numbers adventure games are games of the decade, one of which was made by a company who went defunct because all of their games were so bad they went out of business.

gamers were a mistake.

This is quintessential Kotaku, covering video games in a way that blatantly shows that neither the author nor intended audience actually play video games.

This is bait.jpg

And it worked!

I wonder if the staff at Kotaku has stopped seeing GG as an actual threat and just wants to piss them off for laughs

Imagine thinking that anyone was ever afraid of gamergators. They've understood perfectly since the beginning of it that stirring up culture wars bullshit is what they're paid for. It's a lot easier and gives you better job security than actually writing about games.

Kotaku? More like Nobody-gives-a-shitaku.😎😎😎

Depression quest

Um... Who the hell came up with that name? Depression is more debilitating than an adventure. Quit patronizing mental health

A woman who considers mental disorders to be badges in a Twitter bio more than anything else.

The only game that arguably belongs is minecraft.

LOL Kotaku finally learns how to troll.

There are people in this thread getting mad about other games that are in this list and they're posting about it.

It's time for a fucking purge. These retards are speaking gamer language and this is an English only sub

Jannies do you're fucking jobs.

Goobers mad

Ahahahah... lmao, I cant stop laughing

Finally, there’s Persson himself. The developer made $2.5 billion in Microsoft’s purchase of Mojang, a sale that turned the heads of business reporters and signalled his exit from the wider community of games and game developers. His behavior in later years—mostly in the realm of misogynist attacks and transphobic statements from his Twitter account—slowly led to his ostracization from gaming’s most public spheres. Finally, in April, Microsoft declined to invite Persson to Minecraft’s tenth anniversary celebration, heretofore the most public effort to divorce Minecraft from the now-troublesome man who created it.

Maybe money soured Persson, maybe he was always this way. What he is now is an inconvenient truth, a living reminder that even in their moments of greatest success, the games industry is more likely to brush aside its most toxic elements rather than confront them.

They don't mention Notch's greatest crime against humanity, being an /r/drama moderator.

Notch is never coming back. 😞

if I remember correctly, Notch himself came if we pinged him.

So we just need pinging back.

Hahaha stay mad gamers
