Comments make me laugh. Some people can't take a joke.

I like how the comments are blaming the artists for a game being bad.

PhattyEwok · Mar 2010

You know that is just so childish way to burn all bridges on the way out. As Artists your art should make the game more fun to play. It is only your fault that Pandemic's Games sucked......

lol wut

Kotaku is to games journalism what Geraldo Rivera is to games journalism.

I dont know Geraldo from before but I guess he is a joke pretty much? I dont believe a word they are saying most of the time, but I still go there because sometimes they can point me in the direction to something interesting...

being on kotaku does wonders. good luck with it all.

But please, pay no attention to the comments, it will drive you mad

Flava-Fly · Mar 2010

I read that the other day, best of luck with your new studio! Some pretty lame comments from the Kotaku crowd, I'm sure they all turn around best selling AAA titles in there sleep :P

[Deleted User] · Mar 2010

The commentors would have known to tighten up the graphics on level 3.

Lamont · Mar 2010

LOL!! I hate reading comments. Maybe make a game slamming people on Kotaku?

Skamberin · Mar 2010

Haha, that's awesome.

hahaha as a follow up game that would be awesome. They would really hate you guys then.:)

Kotaku comments; serious business.

Congrats on getting mentioned though, at least the post was pretty neutral.

Ghostscape · Mar 2010

eagerly awaiting COMMENTrain, the sequel where you hunt idiots posting with a giant banhammer.

gsokol · Mar 2010

*sigh*

kotaku commenters never cease to amaze me.

There seem to be 2 types of people on there....those who make ignorant comments who have absolutely no understanding of the industry...and those who make ignorant comments who have absolutely no understanding of the industry....but pretend to.

Geezus · Mar 2010

Pandemic made like two good games ever. I can understand being upset over losing your job, but you can't really complain when your shit company is given multiple chances to deliver and fails every single time.

Sooooo....they made "like" two good games. However, they "failed to deliver every single time"? Oh the internets. 0.o

Anyhow, good luck with this guys. Hope the publicity ups the sales even more!

Cojax · Mar 2010

haha Kotaku. The tabloids of our industry. Some of the questions and comments that come from that "news" site are down right hilarious because there so stupid.

seforin · Mar 2010

ugh...reminds me of my old job where I had a owner of the company blame me constantly for all his faliures for his bad games and his company failing on art/ artists friends I knew...ugh words cant express how much I want to drop kick someone in the throat when I see/read things like this..

IEatApples · Mar 2010

The video they put out, where the (same?) four guys destroyed a printer, was funny(ish), but only because you had to assume they meant to look ridiculous. I could never quite douse a flicker of doubt about their intentions; whether they weren't actually taking themselves a touch seriously, and whether they mightn't actually have thought destroying a printer on video made them look like self-righteous, hard-core, mofo's. It's hard to say because you couldn't see their faces, but one guy (at least) was definitely wearing designer jeans.

I really want to send this guy a copy of Office Space on dvd...

AnimeAngel · Mar 2010

EA is a monster. It should be poked fun at. Some people just don't have a sense of humor.

r_fletch_r · Mar 2010

God Damned fancy pants Artists. Silliness aside Kotaku has a big readership, great advert right there. They usually follow up these sorts of stories so they might give you some more advertising when you release.

Good luck with the game Lads, I hope it goes well for you.

He still wouldn't get it...

Andreas · Mar 2010

The people who comment on kotaku are predominantly fucking retards...I wish they would just disable commenting, I always scroll down too far by accident...and the resulting pain is a lot like getting brain freeze.

Calabi · Mar 2010

What a bunch of cunts(the comments people). I'm tempted to sign up just to say it but it would only add to the noise and I'd banned.

Good luck with the game. We need more games with a sense of humour, and personality.

Luxury · Mar 2010

Must be a really fucking slow news day.

It's funny, because the game doesn't even HAVE a story. That blurb on the website? That's it - that blurb isn't even in the game itself. We just wrote it for fun for something to put on our site. We aren't bitter or anything, just joking around. Sheesh.

Snefer · Mar 2010

I have to say I think kotakus commenters are among the smartest, most intelligent and educated on all the game blogs/news sites out there. = they are not ALL idiots, ALL the time ^^

...still pretty clueless though ^^

Calabi · Mar 2010

I disagree with that Snefer, I think Rock Paper Shotgun has the mostest smartest.

Snefer · Mar 2010

yeah, maybe. Depending on the subject :P Since RPS is PC-centric they are okay, but when it comes to certain subjects they go crazy-retarded ^^

TheWinterLord · Mar 2010

Atleast they can win awards for being most consistent... All the time

So yeah... I'm on Kotaku.
