Sweet, I really hope Liu Kang and Kung Lao live through this. I kinda hated that they seemed to keep, or remained, killed off.

Also there is a typo with Liu Kang’s name in the second to last paragraph. 

I think the game is gorgeous and feels great to play solo, as long you don’t treat it like a game and try to ‘win’. Amassing gold, which is really all you can do in the game, is incredibly slow going if your solo and if you run into a group of players they’ll likely just try to ruin your fun. Most of the events and…

The reason men draw so many penises is because most of them couldn't figure out how to draw a vagina.

You had me at “Pornhub wants you to get horny”.

I had this thought and it made me laugh a bit.
Some People: All Lives Matter!
Other People: Yeah but black people need your help & attention right now.
Some People: Oh No! Notre Dame!
Other People: What about Flint, PR, Churches?
Some People: Notre Dame needs our help and attention right now.

Nice review, all I really want is the language learning parts of the game so sounds like I’ll still be checking it out. I’m not looking forward to the tedious sailing though.

Kind of like Her Story, I like games that piece together stories like this. Her Story though kept everything nice and lean. I kinda wish this…

Every Kotaku post about race should have this blurb in italics at the beginning. Just so we can get all of the “But that’s not what they meant” comments out of the way so we can all have real discussions about the post.

Ah, wish I’d read that. Yeah that’s exactly the realization I just had today. From just seeing the end of the 3rd round it looked like Daigo had been getting beat and just happened to be ready and able to parry that super, but after seeing the whole match it feels obvious that Daigo subconsciously trained Justin to…

I hear ya but I don’t see it that way anymore. I feel like eating those kicks into a Super was part of the plan, to train Justin into thinking he could rely on the super for damage.

Justin, could’ve stayed turtled up and let the time run out or continue waiting for Daigo to approach but instead he tossed out the super…

I hear ya, but yeah I just don’t see it exactly that way anymore. Showboating was the wrong word to use, I mainly just mean I now feel like Daigo spent the 3rd round waiting to parry that super to give the audience a fun experience.

Daigo even mentions in that interview video that he started making repetitive moves, tha…

We used to only have to decide wait to buy a game until it goes on sale.
Now we have to decide on whether to wait until the game is really really finished.

Ha, I’ve kind of ruined this moment for myself. I’d always thought it was the desperation play of a great player who unexpectedly found himself on the ropes and had no other option but to risk it all by parrying everything. Now it just feels like a guy showboating and setting up a ‘wouldn’t it look cool moment’…

I really haven’t even followed Star Citizen after their 2nd Kickstarter. Around the office we just consider it a giant bonfire of burning cash & somehow they convince people to keep tossing money into the bonfire. If we’re lucky that money will melt into something that looks cool eventually.

Oh cool, I don’t think I’ve ever watched all three rounds.

If Hello Games has learned their lesson then they don’t have to skip the hype cycle. You can hype your games and your features, just make sure you can deliver on what your selling. Don’t sell snake oil and there won’t be a problem.

I agree, your getting a lot of hate for saying this but I agree.

If I lied about the game I’m making and I get paid millions upon millions for that lie...and then use that money to start making the game I originally promised I would expect no sympathy or praise for the success of those lies. The praise is really only…

That’d be really cool. As a developer I’d equally love a review section from people who didn’t buy or play the game, just to know what they want or what’s missing to pull them in. The big companies have focus groups for this but having a full system or platform for that type of thing would be neat.
As a consumer I’d…

Haha, I love these ads...if they would just put the ad content & promises in the game I imagine they would be much more successful.

A very odd response from EA. The article definitely doesn’t come off as any sort of hit piece that targets anyone. It just targets a team that had trouble moving forward quickly enough. Which in game development is a tale as old as time.
I rarely wonder “WTF happened to that project”, because 90% of the time it’s a…

Yeah this can be annoying. I have a UHD and a 4K monitor and they both only get all the fancy features if I use display port but my video-card only has 1 Display Port because I didn’t know all of that would matter so much. It’s just annoying to know that I can’t maximize all my devices without dropping a few hundred…
