It’s similar enough that it could be called Dark Souls 4 and nobody would bat an eye. Same can’t be said for Sekiro or Bloodborne.

A quick glance at the top-played games on Steam suggests otherwise. CS:GO, Apex Legends, Dota 2, PUBG, Lost Ark, CoD:MW2, Destiny 2, GTA 5, Rust, Unturned, Naraka, TF2, Crab Game, War Thunder, Warframe, ARK, Civ 6, Elden Ring, and Hogwarts Legacy. So, of the top 20 games, only one of them has no multiplayer…

Elden Ring is, for all intents and purposes, Dark Souls 4. Same visuals, same atmosphere, same systems, same mechanics, same pacing.

*sigh* posting this is a mistake, because everyone on Kotaku is biased...

That’s probably a good choice — the best bundle value that I didn’t cotton to as I was just entering Pool 3 at the time was the Winterverse one which was 6000 gold for 3000 collector’s tokens and 8000 credits.

Your restaurant example is bad because they’re BOTH terrible places that you shouldn’t be supporting.

Sure, you could make the connection that buying the Harry Potter game directly lines She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named’s pockets, but as we know, there is no ethical consumption under capitalism.

And Cosmo/Armour are such a low opportunity cost that can completely wreck Destroy and to a lesser extent Discard.

At the same time, the game’s store has added a Mister Negative bundle, which for a ridiculous 8,000 Gold (approximately $100!!!) will give you 3,000 Tokens, 6,000 Credits, 155 Mister Negative Boosters, a variant and avatar of the same, and the wildly incongruous title, “Be My Valentine.” What a world.

Anything that isn’t the MMO-lite that was grafted on to Inquisition is okay in my books.

Ms. Marvel is for when you pull off a completely unexpected win, or when the opponent confidently snaps and loses, as if to sarcastically say “good try, champ!”

Everything you think you know about the historical forms of socially organized labour is wrong. I’d recommend something like David Graeber’s the Dawn of Everything, the perennial A People’s History of the United States, or Capital

“It’s called holding people accountable,” another tweeter said. “Something this community needs more of actually.”

It’s a game, just like Personas 4 & 5, about time.

The only good thing that ever came out of Dorne 

A writer on a video game site must exclusively be referring to the video game character because he’s much better known, and can not be referring to the subject the author themselves supplied (Greek mythology), because if we accept that the author can talk about figures from Greek mythology (the subject they supplied)…

Back in that day there was no machine learning to speak of, file sizes were measured in kilobytes rather than tens to dozens of gigs now, information read and write speed was much slower and so was server capacity and connection speeds.

Just here for the comments bitterly moaning about “why are we talking about this” as they drive up engagement ensuring the content continues to generate coverage.

They’re very mad about that, verging into Incel talking points.
