Commenting is open to everyone on Gematsu. However, we ask that you please follow a set of guidelines when doing so.

1. Know what you’re writing: don’t comment if you’re going to flame, troll, or “fanboy.” Everyone has their preferences, and we understand that, but they are no excuse to repeatedly rant about a publisher or hardware company you’re not a fan of, or any game or genre for that matter. It doesn’t add anything to the discussion. Don’t like a certain game? Either share a civil explanation as to why, or move on to the next article.
2. Think before you post: give your comments some thought. We’re not asking that you write a philosophical essay on the state of gaming each time you comment, but try to write something that will further generate discussion.
3. Stay on-topic: keep your comments relevant to the topic of the article. Have something else you’d like to talk about? Head over to our latest weekly Open Forum.
4. Respect each other and our writers: you don’t have to agree with what we publish, or with what others say in the comments, but don’t be disrespectful about it. We put a lot of effort into keeping this site updated, as does your community in how they respond. If you have a differing opinion, discuss it kindly.
5. Port begging: don’t repeatedly ask for ‘Game X’ to be released on ‘Console Y’. We’re sorry that ‘Game X’ is not available on the platform you prefer. But these requests are pointless and don’t add to the discussion. Understand that publishers decide on which console(s) they want to publish their games, and that their stance won’t change based on your comments here. Your best bet in this case is to contact the publisher directly through their channels on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, or via e-mail.
6. Enjoy commenting: that’s our main goal here. We’re trying to create an environment where our readers can share their opinions openly and in a mature fashion. We hope you can be a part of it.
