This is a fantastically written article...and one that will keep me from ever trying out Warframe again lol (I messed around with it for a couple hours when it first game out)

I absolutely love playing it...but that’s me, it has the perfect mix of platforming, shooting, and that urge to perfect a level (like Trials).

Ikaruga was a game that was a bit beyond me that I really like watching others play though...so I get it.

There are difficulty settings...

Each level can be played on Beginner, Normal, and Expert...You don’t progress if you play on Beginner, but you can certainly play the beginning fights enough to get them down and then move up to Normal and probably be fine.

Like...instead of a difficulty change they could add like an…

NHL 13 I think was the last one I had on X360 and it was fantastic...every outing on the next Gen has been a disappointment...the only reason I still play any of them at all is because they gave 19 away for free through Gold.

I was an only child, so my mom basically shut down every recruiter that tried to call our house.  Thank God for that lol

Well they lost their prime real estate in High School cafeterias with the COVID pandemic.  I honestly don’t think they should be allowed to have such coordinated channels...hard to keep them from recruiting individually from their personal channels but having US Army and US Navy Twitch channels just seems like asking…

My guess is that the Japanese team got the trailer at the last minute and didn’t have time to get someone to redub it in time for the direct.

I’m so glad you’re back to doing these!  Hope there’s more coming in the future!

Yeah this all seems to be him trying to build up hype for his move to a new platform.  He knows exactly why he’s no longer welcome on Twitch.

Speaking as an American...you are spot on, but trying to tell those who don’t see it makes you seem like a crazy person from on the inside.

Similar to the power plug, but for games...Game Genie, I know there are plenty of NES games I would have never seen the end of if not for that baby.  Brand loyalty kept me with them for the Game Boy and Genesis as well...I only switched to Game Sharks cause they didn’t make the GG for PSX.

There will be a time traveler coming back to stop you from making this comment, as it was the impetus for a dystopian future.

I really appreciated that about Statik, helped the immersion greatly, and made me not care so much about the loads.

I accidentally bought Racer Revenge a while ago for PS4 thinking it was this game...the sequel is fine but the original was the one I remember (on PC no less).  Think I’ll wait for a sale to pick this one up, but glad that it holds up from a gameplay perspective.

Don’t feel too bad, I follow him on Twitter and also occasionally forget he’s not with Kotaku any more.

“Police bought him Burger King”...that’s the part that will always get me.

Yeah, I second that Fuck Riot sentiment. I have been interested in trying out Valorant but the fact that it was Riot had me wary of it...then they had issues with their super invasive anti-cheat program...and now this, I guess I’ll be sticking to CS:GO until someone rips them off and makes a more palatable version of…

I agree.  Playing through The Outer Worlds was the first time I legitimately considered getting an Xbox One X, because it felt like my Day One Xbox One was going to kick it on me soon...6 months later and I’m still doing fine with it so it was a false alarm...but the idea that they would even attempt to put it on the…

Ah, a time before the ball was chipped.  I miss those days (Germany fan here :-P)

When they first came to Game Pass I thought about checking them out (since I missed them on Dreamcast despite owning such gems as Seaman) and after messing around with the 1st one for like 2 hours I realized that at this point in my life I just don’t have the time to appreciate the slow pace.  Instead I opted to mess…
