After staring at this chart looking for “HOTS”, I finally deduced that this is a chart of each map in HOTS.

Bloodborne and Witcher 3 are tough to compare. Both nearly perfect to me. It’s been a good year if you like action RPGs.

Do the academy awards only serve weirdo movie goers? The nobel prize only weirdo incredible people?

I too got the ciri and geralt, witchers forever ending, which felt appropriately fitting for my own playthrough where I mostly shrugged at all the politics going on in the background. More important than the ending though, is Witcher 3 GOTY for you guys right now? Sounds like you all enjoyed it tons and got pulled…

You have a tongue and a cheek, right? Most things I write are at least partially in jest, as you’ll know from apparently reading every comment I’ve ever made.

As an avid C:S fan for Steam, I am not excited about this at all. Paradox is a small team and this is certainly going to use almost all of their cycles for the next year, when instead they should be putting out a content expansion for the PC game (in my opinion, of course). This game will get minimal attention on…

A lot of old games made you put quarters in a machine to play them, too. Many things that were once quaint now feel manipulative in light of more recent game development trends.

Way too much? I wrote two sentences! That’s meager cynicism at most.

Wow, documentary footage locked by a progression requirement? What’s next, you can’t access the options menu until you link your facebook account?

There’s precious little I’m looking forward to this month. With Witcher 3 and Batman behind me, and the next major Diablo patch more than a month off, it’s going to be a month of cleaning up whatever is on Steam that I bought at some point and never completed. I’ve been dabbling in Cities:Skylines this past week after…

This fight by a mile.

Great discussion. I’ve played every game in the series, though I’m not a comic fan so I come at the games with just the movies as backdrop. I’d put them in this order, best to worst: Asylum, Knight, City, Origins. Knight failed on two main points for me. Over-reliance on the batmobile, which I found to be enjoyable at…

More diablo on kotaku please! Blizzard has been absolutely killing it with the patches in the last year. they’ve literally changed the game completely three times, for free, incorporating every good suggestion from the community along the way. It’s looking like another great set of changes is coming in August.

It’s just one guy culling through probably dozens of dozens of submissions and editing a video together, with time constraints. Of course it’s not an objective assessment, but that’s fine, it’s fun!

Come on it was funny. I played 100 hours of that game and never happened to be trailing a scent while a guy also farted.

As a semi-frequent lover of this game series, I thought this was an interesting read. I’m sure I’ve watched some of the videos mentioned here or certainly others produced by the individuals mentioned. I’m sympathetic for Vaati, especially on the Bloodborne points. It’s a relatively straightforward lore (RELATIVELY)…

Beat the game last week. Car combat was a lowlight for me. Definitely did not feel that it matched the infectious rhythm of the hand-to-hand combat that is a hallmark of a series. You attack every other tank in the same manner (spam the cannon). Enemies attack you in only two ways (insta-cannon with white laser…

I love that kotaku gives games so much attention after launch. However, I think maybe the policy of which games get attention should be a bit more flexible based on factors like whether a game is still popular or, i don’t know, widely reviled by the initial player base and generally seen as a major disappointment.

What the hell was this article.

Civ 5, the opposite of this in every way
