Kotaku has been to the future. And they have come back with a review of Death Stranding.

Asking me to tell you what Death Stranding is 'about,' is like asking Morpheus to tell you what the Matrix is.

 

[Jonirenicus]

Lost me at "Kotaku"

I'd rather crawl through a briar patch naked than read their dreck.

 

[Birdo]

I made it five seconds in before that guy's face and voice made me want to scream into a pillow.

My review before playing the game 12/10. After playing the game 10/10. That's how kojima games work. 1 year after playing the game 9/10. 5 years after playing the game 8.5/10.

I identify a game score fluid game journalist.

 

[J-Roderton]

No thanks.

 

[zeorhymer]

So Kotaku writes a scathing article on crunch against various publishers, but doesn't say a peep with Kojima. Now they somehow have a pre-review copy. We know which dick they sucked to get one.

 

[Aintitcool]

Well I watched most of it, and it's just a parody of trying to put together what the game is from released info. Actually quality content from kotaku for once.

 

[danielberg]

...its fucking tim rogers watch any video of him and he is basically a troll even in his insane reviews

 

[mejin]

Kojima is Morpheus confirmed.

Tim Rogers is the only good thing about Kotaku

Dude actually worked on games too. Fucker worked for Suda 51 at Grasshopper

 

[Ogbert]

Oh God.

He's trying to be amusing.

 

[DeepEnigma]

They are getting so desperate.

 

[Deleted member 740922]

Those fucking YouTube thumbnails again...

DQ11 review had me "wtf is going on" all the way through lol

Yeah that one is good and so is the one for Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

He had a cool interview about Judgment with Nagoshi at E3 as well.

 

[TGO]

Is that the Keymaster?

Then why did the editor create a title so terrible? I guess it's just a click bait title?

 

[ROMhack]

I can't be bothered with memelord ironic humour so I'm out.

Thanks for posting though.

 

[TeamGhobad]

they are really short on content aren't they...

 

[NickFire]

Flashback posts are for Thursdays. Its only Monday my friend. So you can take your 2013 post and just re-post it on Thursday. Most likely any Thursday of any week of any year. Will still seem relevant IMO.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

My mentor is on a one week self-ban right when I need him most.

MHK, come back stronger than ever.

 

[infinitys_7th]

Is that the Keymaster?

I doubt Zuul would bang him, so no.

 

[brap]

Kotaku has been to the future. And they have come back with a review of Death Stranding.

Why do they all look the same? This looks 15 and 35 at the same time.

 

[EverydayBeast]

High scores are guaranteed.

 

[FranXico]

No thanks, LOLtaku. No clicks for you.

 

[MrCunningham]

Did anyone ever tell Tim Rogers that he has a passing resembalence to a young Rick Moranis?

 

[Skyr]

No click for craptaku from me.

 

[ExpandKong]

Obligatory https://www.somethingawful.com/news/new-games-journalism/1/

I simply can’t believe the dude has been doing this schtick ironically for more than thirteen years.

 

[LazyParrot]

If you've seen one Tim Rogers video, you've seen them all.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

I made it five seconds in before that guy's face and voice made me want to scream into a pillow.

pretty much where I stopped too

you just need to learn how to snort soy and cum like a real woof

 

[DonF]

Confirmed. Also, he speaks Japanese and is a huge Dragon Quest Fan. He is over qualified in Kotaku.

 

[GermanZepp]

When comes to YouTube videos i have one simple rule , i don't watch videos that have emojis, red arrows/circles or stupid ass faces on the thumbnail.

 

[SirTerry-T]

Confirmed. Also, he speaks Japanese and is a huge Dragon Quest Fan. He is over qualified in Kotaku.

I'd say he's a perfect fit, personally, and by that I mean the guy appears to have crawled up to the desired depth of his own arsehole to be a Kotaku journo.

Different strokes for different folks though...

 

[nkarafo]

Damn, i clicked out of curiosity. I'm part of the problem.

 

[CoffeeExpress]

The worlds first stand review.

 

[Android25]

sorry but i prefer to shoot myself before listening to kotaku

Are the youtubers millenium gamers... act like child but seems adult and upside.

 

[ranmafan]

There was probably a short time in my life, probably my college days, where I would’ve found this hilarious and smart and would’ve wished I could’ve done the same sort of writings and videos. Now a days I just find his style is just trying too hard and just not interesting. I sometime envy those that enjoy these jokes and crazy works by Tim Rodgers, but I just can’t. It’s just too stupid at times. The whole “smart and intellectual” shtick just doesn’t do it for me. It’s like giving a camera to a random middle school student and telling them to make a funny commentary and be as smart as you can about it. And I’m the type of person who loves crazy out there comedy. But this just isn’t funny or interesting.

I’ll give him credit though, the works of Kobo Abe are very good.

I like the guy, he looks like he is more self aware than pretentious.

He’s been doing this forever. I’m pretty sure he started off pretentious, realized people hated him for it, then went the “no no see I’m doing a bit” route.

 

[Neolombax]

Is there really nothing else to report about at Kotaku? This is just sad.

 

[DESTROYA]

Not worth the click.Kotaku can go screw.
Can’t take a review of a 12 year old seriously anyway.

 

[alabtrosMyster]

they are really short on content aren't they...

What's the difference, they have not been worth the place they take in my bookmarks menu for years (I actually took them out a while back... but I did use to go on a daily basis).

 

[Arkage]

Pretty funny. Lampoons all the weird shit we saw in the game previews. "seafood tanks" lmao.

Was a bit too long tho, prob could've trimmed off 5 or so minutes.

 

[Poordevil]

I learned more about Death Stranding watching this guys lampoon video than anything else I have seen on the game so far. My first exposure to Tim. I thought he was clever enough. I agree it went a little long for the content. He could use a good editor.

 

[ghairat]

Everytime I read "Kotaku" it's always about the retarded or retort it thing...

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Everytime I read "Kotaku" it's always about the retarded journalism gamers..

So truth
