Gotta love the mental gymnastics it takes to have an attitude of “oh well deal with it” when Fortnite takes their shitty floundering building horde game and copies the biggest game on the planet, and to then treat Bluehole like they’re pathetically chasing Fortnite by making their maps smaller. So one game is allowed…

People like you bitching about optimization, while using a 750m from years ago, are really fucking dumb. 

Ive been saying this for the better part of 5 years now. Games have skirted traditional narratives that are engaging, short, and focused, in favor of open worlds that are full of disjointed chores. Though, when I said it back then, everyone told me I was full of it. Now that “Serious Kotaku Journalist Nathan Grayson”…

Having both of Nintendo’big exclusives on Switch and a PS4 as well, I gotta say, my Switch has been collecting dust for quite a while. Mario Odyssey was damn good but it was no 10. Gameplay was great but the game is short once you take out the fact that most of the game is easy AF, and the length is padded out with…

Oh, subjectivity

I don’t so much have a problem with objectification, as long as it’s owned up to. Wanna make a game with scantily clad men/women to appeal specifically to a female/male audience? Go for it. Sex sells. But please don’t pretend like it’s for any purpose other than that, like you were unaware of what you’re doing.

Nice thing is that modern games tend to have the option to turn that stuff off. Maybe you’ll have that with the new one. Guess we gotta wait and see

Ok then. What would be the characters way of interacting with the world, such as TLOU, without shooting? You’ve got zombies and murderous cultists in a post-outbreak world. How would you make this interesting? I only ask because people always say “take shooting out of the game” and I always have to ask “and replace it…

Good, survival modes are my least favorite thing to come out of gaming in some time. Constantly having to do tedious tasks that aren’t fun (eating, drinking, keeping warm, etc) repeatedly because the game decided they wanted to throw some arbitrary handicap on you on top of fighting things that are actually fun to add…

So most devs still? There’s like a dozen of these games across the market all in various stages of quality. You still have plenty of literally anything else to play. Stahp

Your “features that no one asked for” statement is silly, as since PUBG came out and was a disappointment in the content/gameplay/performance/everything department, people have been hoping for a AAA shooter developer to do the genre justice for people who are fans of PUBG and not Fortnite. I specifically asked for…

We need one like PUBG that plays smoother, runs better for more people, has better networking and anti cheat, and has a better developer/content support. Fortnite is more popular but there are still millions of people that play PUBG, and I bet they wouldn’t be too loyal if someone like DICE comes along and does it…

Lifestyles different than mine adopted by people with success greater than mine that allows them to enjoy finer things in an expensive city GET ME SO MAD, BRO!

GTA 5 took over $285 million to develop and market.

Star Citizen has taken over $185 million to develop and market (because they have been marketing the game as well, just not as a full release - these developer insiders for backers take money to make)...

CIG also had to expand its own operations, and pay for all that…

Developers have Season Passes, and loot boxes, and special editions, and deluxe editions, and map packs, and DLC, and weapon skins, and player skins, and.... The list goes on and on with ways the video game industry has found ways to make more than “just the $60"they charge for games, so let’s stop pretending they’re…

If only people could admit the same with Sidney Crosby

“when you get the chance to mash that good button”

I see you’re not one that judges morality in terms of shades of, or with any sort of nuance.

And why shouldn’t the apologies he made regarding those statements also be noted, then? Those don’t count? I mean, I’m genuinely interested if you knew Bain and knew that his apologies weren’t sincere, because that’s how we treat apologies now. When someone apologies, they aren’t really sorry, they haven’t really…
