Hideki Kamiya shits all over Kotaku

What a lame excuse for poor behavior

ITS THE FUCKING INTERNET WHAT DO YOU EXPECT!!

YOU WANT TO BE A DECENT HUMAN BEING GO OUTSIDE

This feels cliche from those cartoons - like how only one person should be lambasted and not the actual problem.
 
Got a kick out of the comment after Luke's on Twitter:

@PG_kamiya huh? why the hostility? I'm honestly asking, because it's a good piece, explains a Japanese perspective on PC gaming.

@LukePlunkett Did you just tell a Japanese game developer to learn about the Japanese perspective on Western gaming from a white American?
 
No, they don't, but in doing so all of us spectators would have gotten one, and then Kotaku would have looked even worse. Now it's just a slap fight.

Maybe the lesson to be learned here is that sometimes spectators are not wanted or appreciated. You life doesn't have to revolve around following every word that someone you don't know says.
 
CRUSHED.

also I'm baffled to why Kotaku is posting a perspective on Japanese game development and then telling a Japanese game developer, who's made games for a long ass time, to read about it. Fucking hilarious.
 
lol at Kotaku

Seriously how much do they care about their reputation?

Well, I haven't been a fan of them in a long time. It always seems like there is some new controversy surrounding them, and I'll read about it on here (long time lurker) or Reddit. I think it's safe to say: I. A segment of the gaming community hates them. II. They succeed in making stories with controversy, which keeps people talking about them.

The way Luke feigned his shock at someone being offended, is funny.

He should have emailed then. He knew he was on Twitter. He knew what a circus this would cause.
 
You could just not go to their site.

Believe me. I never visit their website. That still won't keep their stupidity from reaching me through other parts of the internet. I wish people would realize what shitty website it is, but the average gamer don't realize how fucking stupid their shit is. Just stop visiting it and stop linking to it.
 
Kamiya is a moron, and a douchebag. Yes he makes good games, but he is seriously an arrogant prick. Why do you guys accept this so happily?

Really sums up everything I wanted to say.

That's how he always is on twitter, though.

Maybe kotaku should have emailed him for a more thorough explanation on his views on pc gaming/valve if they really wanted to run an article on it.

Taking the time doing research or getting an in-depth response means less clicks. On the other hand "The circus" means more clicks, and thats what Gawker journalism is all about.
 
Not really. If that's what he wants to do, that's his business. Feeling upset that someone's personal twitter account is not living up to your expectations is stupid.

I feel upset that human discourse between grown-ups has turned into *that*, and then it's celebrated and cheered. I don't think that's stupid at all.

I completely agree. Kotaku is in the wrong here too, but for completely different reasons.
 
Well, maybe Kamiya can take the same advice and not feeding the trolls...

Wah...

The typical cartoon/anime plot.

You know how Arthur calls out... say... Erika a douchebag because she is, but then the peers around Arthur scold Arthur as though he is an asshole for not "taking the high road" and letting the douchebag get away with it?

That's a pretty weak argument.

Also, I have the right to not to like it and actually answer him... and the cycle begins.
 
lol at Kotaku

They actually don't. They legitimately believe they are on some crusade against deep, complex social issues..which ultimately results in them taking developers words out of context to label them misogynists or labeling a whole region as PC ignorant.

Was Namco/FROM Soft porting to PC, with no experience, all based off demand from online petition so long ago?

I guess dude

Just seems weird how people are so quick to defend a guy cursing out his fans on a twitter that exists solely for him to communicate with fans with "WELL WHAT DID YOU EXPECT FROM TWITTER" like that gives him the right to blow up at people like this instead of blocking or ignoring them

but I'm tired of this whole thing.

These people aren't his fans, they're flocking to his twitter after seeing it on kotaku

There is no human discourse between grown-ups here though. Not at any form on an intellectual or maturity level anyway. I also don't think any reasonable person would have expected any. Clearly not from Kotaku or Kamiya. I think it's silly to celebrate and cheery anything on Twitter anyway.

But the thing is that... Arthur was also a Douchebag, calling her douchebag doesn't resolve anything and he is just repeating the cycle

I've never seen that episode of Arthur

Kamiya has revealed some interesting things on Twitter though, like how Itsuno only came in at the end of DMC2's development cycle to attempt salvaging a wreck and that DMC3 was the first game he directed from start to finish. Of course, this was before degenerate clowns started irritating him for the sake of pissing him off and people instead asked him semi-interesting questions.
 
Lol at people who think Gaijin is a racial word. You are a Gaijin deal with it.
Even the guys as WAHP keep using the word and don't see any fault with it. They are foreigners who can speak fluent Japanese and live/have live in Japan.

NickROX can speak fluent Japanese--not so sure about the other two.

Kotaku has also independently written articles which are insightful and sometimes even well researched. Like their recent story on Silicon Knights. That doesn't change the fact what when we are talking about a Twitter flamewar between Kotaku and Kamiya, I don't think anyone should expect "human discourse between grown-ups". Lol.
 
Oh, wow, Kotaku was extremely offensive here. They assumed that a Japanese/Asian developer didn't know about certain companies based on some random tweets, apparently (?) -- then proceed to discuss it like it's typical Japanese/Asian. Seems somewhat racist, even.

And yes, while the entire thing seems misinformed, writing "Clueless about Valve", etc. is unnecessarily rude -- they could have written, "Didn't know about Valve" or something like that, which would have been slightly less rude, and made just as much sense. Using the word "Clueless" instead of "Didn't know" makes it seem like they dislike the person they were writing about.

The most twisted thing about that is that those people actually think he enjoys responding to it or something.
 
Because apathy doesn't mean that responses stop things from existing.

I'll just put this here then, and if you are going to call someones point weak, its probably best to respond to them directly.

It's not a weak argument because if you do that you're just contributing to the same thing you're arguing against.

But then we are in a logical fallacy. Circular reasoning, and is not contributing in anything. That's what I 'm trying to say.

honestly I'm not sure what you've been trying to say for a couple of posts now.
