Alantor32 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I'm looking for alternative gaming news sites that aren't like Gemtasu, Siliconera and Niche Gamer or any other site that has a lot of trolls and freako perverts because I got sick and tired of Gematsu because the commenters there are unbearable (Except for you Satoshi Ookami, you're cool. ) So I'm looking for an alternative gaming news site that isn't like Gematsu, Siliconera, Niche Gamer, the Jimquestion or any other gaming news site that is littered with trolls and freaks. Any recomandation would be helpful. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karnacharya Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Kotaku is decent; their comments sections is somewhat moderated, so the worst of the worst (usually) don't show up in articles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlchemistWer Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Unbearable? Umm... I frequent Gemtasu and never see that type of comments or people but if you want another alternative RPGsite almost never the people write comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undead Wolf Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Can't you just not look at the comments? If the articles themselves are solid, what's the big deal? Also, please define what a "freako pervert" is. I'm dying to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katt Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Then you will not like DualShockers. Seriously, don't read the comments and problem solved. Gematsu is pretty good. Kotaku can go to hell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NutellaOrgies Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) I tend to use Kotaku, it has changed a lot from when I first started using it. It has become a lot more feminist than it used to be but it's still a useful site. Edited March 13, 2018 by NutellaOrgies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leaderboards Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) https://www.dualshockers.com/ Dualshockers is the best. No Kotaku/Polygon SJW nonsense. None of this "Top 10 What We Want" IGN-corporate BS either. Just news and reviews. Western and Japanese games.

I realized my mistake and didn't even notice how bad the site is now ?. Might need to take notes on this thread and find a new one too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DesmaBR Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 The best alternative is to not look at the comments, tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asvinia Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I would have to agree that not looking at comments is probably the best option if you find the reviews themselves good. It's a good habit to train yourself into, especially if you're tired of all the SJW 'safe space' stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvick_ Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Yeah, I left Gematsu for similar reasons. And a certain person who has an issue with abuse of power. I was, for awhile, just using it for news. But it's so uninteresting to just visit a site for the news and not get to talk about any of it. I like to see what people are talking about in regards to stuff, but when the people are less than stellar... it's not a fun experience that's for sure. So I eventually fell out of even checking news and have only been getting it through here, twitter or youtube. Which isn't much. I guess I'm just not ready for another news site. All the ones I've tried prior to gematsu were not great. Some of them listed in the OP, and some listed as suggestions [Kotaku, lol]. 48 minutes ago, NutellaOrgies said: I know, but I just checked out Kotaku again and saw two articles on the front page about how "Microsoft doesn't care about female employees" and the other "I hate this character from a game that came out in 2014".....

Look up their fails on Doom and Breath of the Wild on YouTube. [why do I always type breathe instead of breath? ugh, brain plz] 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lava_Yuki Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I glance at Kotaku sometimes, although they seem to be similar to Gemtasu and focus mostly on JP games. For FF games, I go to Final Fantasy Union, and for Tales series I use abyssal chronicles or kotaku. For general gaming, Gamesrader+, IGN, Gamespot, Neoseeker, Eurogamer and Gameinformer are sites that I use for reviews mostly, and sometimes news. But it's mostly kotaku and ff union that I use for news while the rest I just read reviews and the user comments, do the polls, see popularity rankings etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zondares Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Joystiq.... Oh, wait ? I like Polygon, the new Kotaku, Waypoint (which doesn’t even have comments, just a separate forum), and the venerable Tiny Cartridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Kotaku is crap in terms of articles so... On topic, I would probably suggest Dualshockers like some others if you need alternative... On the other hand, comments will probably be the same everywhere. It's the interwebz, you can't not have trolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreakon13 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 (edited) My plan was basically this... 1. Follow as many gaming-related news sites as possible on Twitter. 2. Unfollow the annoying ones, as annoying tweets/articles are posted. 3. Enjoy the ones that remain. 4. Don't read the comments (not with the intent of serious conversation anyways; if I do it's mostly just to see how much humanity has devolved since the last time I read a comment section). Now my Twitter feed is basically just a gaming news feed from mostly inoffensive sites (and cute animal videos).
