Nobody’s saying “serves him right”, we’re saying you don’t jump in the shark-infested waters wearing a suit made of fresh and bloody fish. Given the circumstances this guy walked into, he could hardly have made a bigger target of himself. I wouldn’t feel safe pulling this kind of move anywhere, much less in a big city…

Yeah, I recommend holding off on it. I backed this on Kickstarter and got access to the early builds, but based on what I played it’s really worth holding off on.

These days $800 will get you a pretty decent gaming rig. And by “decent” we’re talking “max all your games at 1080p and 60FPS for years while still staying relevant for at least the whole console cycle” decent. The only reason you’d need more is for fancier components, frilly extras you don’t need, higher framerates…

I don’t get it. Is the PS4 Slim dumbed down in some way? It sounds like the exact same thing as the current PS4 on the market, just smaller and coming in at a cheaper price point. The additional features and higher price of the PS4 Pro or the current model don’t make them any harder to use or enjoy. Honestly you make…

Not so much a game I hated, but... well, kind of, yeah. Dragon Heroes was mentioned in the comments for a new iOS shmup that I really wanted to play but can’t because devs don’t give Android any respect unless they’re leaning heavily on F2P. It had some good bullet hell bits and pieces but there’s so much I really…

Oh man, I can’t believe you actually highlighted the battle music as one of the positives of this game. It sounds like an entire orchestra with ADHD, like the soundtrack equivalent of a 4 year old on a sugar high picking up a new noise-making toy to violently play with every 10 seconds. I dreaded hearing that music…

Luck is my favorite stat, how dare you?

I really don’t have much respect for that kind of person. I engage in some really raunchy stuff myself, but I know to keep that where it belongs. People like the one you describe and (as many of you probably know) Jango the blue fox here do so much harm to the image of furries because they outwardly portray themselves…

You really didn’t have to.

To be fair, the series at least deserves a mention on its 30th anniversary, rather than Nintendo Cease and Desisting a free fan-made remake that’s been in development for more than a decade now.

Boy am I surprised to end up featured on Kotaku.

It’s because your brain needs a way to make sense of it all. Typing a word is nothing like learning a special attack button combo, because every word is typed using the same letters you’ve known for many years which have never changed orientation on any keyboard you’ve used (unless you switched keyboard layout at some…

I’ll add to the pile: Terraria. Starbound is still just barely past its release, and you have to consider that with Terraria’s release, the game had only just started coming into its own. Terraria currently is a complete experience so packed with neat stuff to discover and bosses to fight, and you won’t tire of it for…

Maybe some of us are fed up with that system supporting shitty people. There’s never been a situation where I felt that South Park’s “giant douche vs turd sandwich” comparison was more apt to describe reality. I refuse to pull the trigger on either of these walking disasters, and instead I want my vote to go toward…

You must be one of those people who likes to tell others how fun they would be at parties. (Generally the kind of people who only end up at parties when they’re dragged along, so they’re probably inclined to agree with your assessment)

GPS is global, right? Meaning those sites can be pre-downloaded or manually coded into the game. You don’t necessarily need cell service, you just need the GPS to verify you’re in the right place. As for the game needing to be always-online, well, they can fix that by being smart about how it works. Like, have it wait…

Isn’t this a huge missed opportunity? What if catching all the Pokemon required traveling all around the actual world? What if every legendary in the game was TRULY legendary, requiring you to not only have powerful Pokemon to first defeat it so you can catch it, but also requiring you to go to a specific place in the…

What do you mean by “what’s the problem?” Not being able to sleep is a pretty big deal. And this isn’t a “4th of July” thing where it’s just once a year and just an occasional boom/pop (and even then, this month we only had ONE asshole who decided that, at 3 am, hours after everyone stopped doing any fireworks, it was…

The most I’ve ever seen in my “nearby” tab was like 3 Pokemon.

Yeah, I was thinking that. Undertale is great because it’s kind of a game about games. It uses RPG tropes gamers are familiar with and take for granted, and it flips them on their head, or integrates them into the game’s world/lore in a way no RPG does. Does the Pope take saving and loading for granted? Is he well…
