Yeah I’m playing through on Death March. Hasn’t really been that hard until B&W. They really up the difficulty in the expansion. Some of the enemies hit super hard.

Finishing up Blood & Wine this weekend finally. I’ve been making my way through Witcher 3 for the last 5 months. I think I’m sad to see it finally end. Absolutely one of the best games I’ve ever played.

Completely agree. They seem like small things in the moment, but every little defensive play for the Caps in which somebody didn’t give their full effort seemed to cost them in the end. Goal #2 of game 7 was a perfect example as Ovechkin just tried to poke the puck out of the zone instead of clearing it with his full…

Was it worth a penalty? Absolutely. But you can’t convince me that Niskanen somehow purposely lined up Crosby’s head with his stick as Crosby was awkwardly collapsing/sliding towards him. And when it comes to suspension, you have to take intent into account.

I frickin love Karl Ravech. He doesn’t scream at anybody and is always very generous and complimentary to other hosts. I just hope they don’t do anything to Tim Kurkjian. If Tim goes I’m done with ESPN forever.

Minecraft on Gear VR is actually awesome.

I’m not sure I get this reasoning. If there were no men on base then I completely agree with the call, but that ball could have easily moved moved the runners over, maybe even caused a run from second. Also, there was only 1 out so taking a risk like that is a terrible call. Molina is a great catcher and I would…

And the Wii U version?

When Geralt finally reunites with Ciri there isn’t a single word spoken, yet it is probably the most powerful scene in the entire game. It just goes to show you that the excuse “RPGs can’t have detailed animation because they are so huge” is weak. Witcher 3 is massive and still has some of the best animation in the…

Agreed. Seems like CD Projekt Red wasn’t at fault at all on this. I too got completely hooked on the universe after playing the second game and have purchased all the english translations now as well. Witcher 3 is maybe now my favorite game of all time. (Just beat it recently so still deciding)

I’m just now playing The Witcher 3. I can’t believe the level of quality compared to anything I’ve ever played. It goes to show you how important character animation is in a huge story driven game.

I’m not sure I understand.

Darnit. This sucks. We are still in the “they will have 3rd party support this time” phase of the new Nintendo console. I love this phase! I’m so optimistic and happy.

Yeah it’s not the goalscorer that is offsides. It is the striker at the right side that is clearly offsides. You can also see the goalie favoring towards him at first, thus negating the argument that he didn’t influence the play.

Not to diminish the absolutely important aspects of the story, but does Lupo use a mouse and keyboard? No wonder I get destroyed at Trials. I’m using a controller like an idiot.

Yeah I get what Kirk is saying on all open world games, but I frankly just don’t have time to waste hours just “getting lost” in the environment. I tried this advice for Witcher 3 and found myself frustrated because I couldn’t find my way to the next quest in a lot of circumstances. It was particularly bad in the…

Wow. That is an insane price, but that Scorpio launch just scares me away from any Xbox One deals right now.

Is there any plan from Kotaku to cover the Wii U version of Breath of the Wild as well? Seems like there is a media blackout on it since e3. I assume nobody got advanced copies of the Wii U version.

I don’t know. Is Mad Max on the list? I didn’t see it mentioned.

I was in college with Turok 2 came out and I vividly remember the cerebral bore when deathmatching with friends. We just couldn’t stop laughing at it.
