It's a generic gaming site, yes. But it's got plenty of daily updates and talks about pretty much everything gaming related. Nice style too, considering how mainstream it is.
It is probably the world's most important vg news site.
There's a lot of commenters and that's the downside. It's almost like reading youtube. A good bunch of them are intelligent, while many others seem to have come out of youtube, with stupid replies, irritating nitpicking, ignorance a gogo, petty flamewars, plenty of wishy-washy moralizing and the usual teenager boasting ("I've got this, I've got that"). Pretty sad, sometimes.
But the site contents themselves, nonetheless, are mostly very juicy and interesting.

It's kind of sad that, while I agree with you, Kotaku still has better comments than most other gaming sites I've been to.

Kotaku is pretty much the only site that actually posts shmup news though. Good on them.

I've seen slower blogs, but Kotaku is pretty fucking slow at times. Their news is only new when it's obscure crap that most mainstream blog sites won't find (re: shmups).

I think the site has gotten worse over the years.

i can't condone a website that's updated more than once a day.
i get my videogames news once a month from a multiformat print magazine. and even then, a month's worth of news is sometimes not even worth reading

Are you kidding? There's so much fluff, non-news and tangentially related crap (enough with the fucking videogame related cakes, seriously) that it's almost impossible to find anything actually news-worthy or interesting.

Fenrir · Post by **Fenrir** » Tue Mar 31, 2009 8:45 pm

Better like that, than nothing at all. I like my vgs a bit glamorized. I'm tired of the old serious previews from the usual ign and so on. Sometimes it's cool to take it on the light side.

I'm tired of the paid reviews from the usual ign and so on.

If generic means really really terrible, then yes. BTW I am talking only about the content itself. Comments go without question. And yes, it was always as bad as it is now.

Then again, I don't follow gaming news so lol I don't actually care.

What a scoop!

Can a Tweet be a Scoop? Or just plain bird shit laced with chokecherry seeds ruining the paint on your car (p.s. "assholes drive imports")?
