There definitely is an excuse as many have outlined here in the comments section, one thats been horribly ratioed by this sites notoriously large black readership for being a huge reach. 

Define “rich”, because Ellie Kemper was upper middle class, as was I, and in 1999 we found the internet unnecessary and expensive to have, so its entirely possible she didn’t even use it all that much. The information available on the internet at the time, while still vast, didnt cover EVERY little thing like the…

Let me tell you about a little thing called being a teenager, one in which, in the 90s, no kid that thinks theyre attending what amounts to a beauty pageant is gonna drag their ass to a library to look through the newspaper stacks over the previous 30 years to do the research on the history of a thing that they…

Maybe in 2021. Not so much in 1993. What was she supposed to do, look it up on the internet? JFC, this aint it 

Counterpoint - stop being such a wet blanket and dont watch it? 

They tried "different" with Primal and nobody bought it, so rather than try something ELSE different they have a formula they know people will buy and they'll stick to it. 

It really lends credence to the idea that having good FPS and high frame rates is much more transformative and impactful to ones experience with a game, than when everyone who could only play games at 1080p 30fps on prevous consoles who wrote that kinda stuff as "swinging your e-peen" gave it credit for. 

Man, im so split on this. As someone who has a powerful gaming PC, I saw no reason to go to Xbox over PlayStation last gen, as i really could only play those PS4 exclusives on PS. But then i only ended up playing a few of those exclusives. I sure BOUGHT a bunch of them with the intention of playing them, and i started…

Yeah im sure a bunch of potential backers who are on the fence about buying into this niche as fuck game are gonna see your comment on a Kotaku thread and be saved from the scam.

Its pathetic when someone named “The Neckbeard Killer” doesnt realize that naming themselves something edgelord as fuck like “The Neckbeard Killer” to "own" people in comment sections, makes them the biggest Neckbeard of them all. 

Red Dead 2 was also made with severe crunch. Perhaps making a game this size, but without crunch, is just gonna take that long? 

This will most likely happen. "Heres these old games nobody is buying on our systems anymore. If you like em, the new ones are available on our shiny $500 box (if you can ever find one)" 

Would like to also point out Vaush for raising $250k on a 24hr stream. Great work. 

“So they should’ve put an additional charities offering people the chance to help provide aid to the Israeli Gov’t to further kill Palestinians?”

The cognitive dissonance in thinking that aid to Israel will, in fact, not go to help people, but be used to arm themselves and further kill people, while thinking that the…

Fuck back off

“People on kotaku and all message boards need to understand this too, being insulted, no matter how offensive or dumb does NOT give you the right to double down and throw insults back”

Is Testerone some sort of Mexican frozen pizza bite? 

Id really encourage you rethink using “time to beat” as an indicator of whether something deserves your money. Everyone does this and they’ll freak out and buy the next big open world RPG and be like "300 hours of gameplay whoa!" and we keep getting these ridiculously long games that people like me who have limited…

Is there a Kotaku office pool to see how many times references to the pandemic can be shoved into articles? 

Vaccine rushed to the public has wide swath of effects for a wide swath of people - women the real victims, tho.
