No matter how much you tell yourself it is, that’s not the only reason, and even in that case, the mod community for the game has been active and working under the expectation that mods are free for like 4 years before this happened. You can’t just throw in a paid system for mods and just expect it all to work out.…

They should have talked it over with more people, opened the idea to the public before implementing it, and gotten this feedback before putting it into action. There’s a lot more wrong with this system than it just coming from out of nowhere.

Steam’s approach lately has been very hands-off, sure, but their hands *are* on the money, and if they’re going to do paid mods, they’re going to want a sustainable solution. Disallowing idiots to submit games (a $100 cost, isn’t it?) which have no place on a service like Steam and selling them at any price they…

People whining like this took away some potential great system are kind of hypocritical.

The developer gets 40%. The publisher gets 35%. (it may be 45/30, actually, but I forget which) The content creator, regardless of how much effort they put into the mod, how original or unique it is, or how much/little it makes use of existing content, only gets a 25% cut. Additionally, they can only ‘cash-out’ after…

There’s a good reason most people have stopped making game-in-a-game mods. Because if those games they come up with are interesting and worth playing, you better believe they’re going to pick up UE4 or Unity 5 and just make it their own standalone game. That solution is not only less hack-y, but also has the benefit…

It was really confusing for me; Google stopped working completely. Youtube was borked, Google and most websites were dead... I used Bing for the first time and it was fine. Until I tried to click on any results, then it had the same issue. Then I entered Google.com’s IP address and it loaded fine. But nothing worked…

Exactly the news I wanted to see! I was so disappointed that this wasn’t coming to PC, since I’ve been waiting to play it for over a year now.

>just like any platformer it’s all about memorizing the layout of each level.

I find that collecting puzzle pieces is also a time-wasting chore. If it could at least only show me the panels that they have new pieces for, then I wouldn’t have to spent a good 45 seconds shuffling through them all to find the single piece they have that I don’t. Then on the next person I have to shuffle back to…

Not everyone lives in crowded big cities. I took mine everywhere while walking to and from classes every day on campus at my college town of about 20k people, and I’d only get a Streetpass hit once everyday or two.

Xenoblade has its niggling issues here and there, but how do you consider sidequests to be one of them?

You should look into the game more, because this level of attention to detail is present in almost every aspect of this game. Every level design, every creature and their attacks and movements, every gameplay mechanic, the feel and balance of every weapon, even in areas which were pretty simplistic in the original…

That’s my problem... I love to cover my messenger bag with stuff that shows off my fandom-y interests, and I could see someone being such a big fan of one particular character that they had to dedicate their bag entirely to that one character... but it’s not like there aren’t plenty of artists as well as official…

I just tried this and wow, it’s almost eerie! A little row of red LEDs light up on both sides of the sensor bar as soon as you turn on a Wii remote. You can look as close as you want but you’ll never see anything, yet my phone camera picks them up clear as day.

I think this is the funniest/most insightful I’ve ever seen NerfNow up to this point.

Glad to see Gamercat along for the ride now! Been following since the first comic, and loved it all the way! Even backed the Gamercat and Glitch plushes they did (both of which are magnificent and expertly-crafted).

I think it was because he was playing mostly League at the time, and I’m not into LoL so I don’t get a lot out of those videos. He still plays a lot, but he tends to be pretty entertaining.

Oh damn, I remember this guy. No clue why I’m not watching him, but thanks for re-introducing me to Dunkey’s amazingness.

Well as a Kotaku reader I can put it this way: if I can’t trust them as a source of gaming news and information, they lose my readership. I figure that’s the general silent agreement going on here. The more they stretch the truth for clickbait titles and the less they can be trusted as an unbiased source for gaming…
