This is a bummer but what would be cool is if Kotaku could be done with Jim Spanfeller, a man who is both an herb and hilariously bad at his job.

reminder that this website sucks:

Absolutely psyched for another Amy Hennig game. It’s been too long since she was last in charge of a project!

Over the years, Siri has gotten much better at recognizing what I’m asking for and responding accordingly.

The sad thing is that I’d actually sign up for Overwatch if there was single-player, offline content. League of Legends has been trying pretty hard to bring that universe to other kinds of players/viewers, and I appreciate that. Arcane and Ruined King have let me play around in that franchise. It’s strange, by…

This is complicated for me because for some reason one of the few things I haven’t liked about post-ARR content is that there are very few, if any, passive mobs in zones anymore. You might come across a passive bat in a cave but generally speaking everything is aggressive, and this was done intentionally to make the…

What you’re describing here is a game I would absolutely not play. I don’t get this idea that games not only have to be more challenging, but also less accessible.  I don’t mind making certain guiding features optional, but removing them entirely is just ableist.

I think the game has plenty of stress depending on the content you’re doing. Ultimate fights certainly weren’t a leisurely stroll, neither were some Savage fights (on content). I’m not sure Island Sanctuary or something like that needs, say, the threat of my crops failing/animals all dying to be fun.

“Producer explains why a crucial piece of content is DLC”
I don’t like being the cynical one, but every Atlus RPG and new Sega release is swimming in DLC, so obviously the answer is $$$. Every Persona game in particular is nickel and dimed with music, cosmetics, etc, and most of them also have a subsequent definitive…

I’m just confused and annoyed that they don’t want a remake to be the definitive edition of the game. Why would you bother with a remake that leaves out content?

I simply don’t understand how these universally reviled characters with what is practically an infinite amount of money don’t just shut the hell up and go away to do literally anything they want. Absolute freaks.

He truly is a perfect example of the kind of a fool who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing

I still mod a small forum! It’s much smaller than it used to be but they still exist.

I know, right? I like an attractive character as much as the next dude, but JFC that shit is embarrassing.

Hold on wait... Are you saying when more “diverse” people are involved in the creative process... they end up with more diverse results? B-but wait... Video games are products with target audiences, right? Are you trying to tell me that other people than me, have money and therefore are also part of that target?

There is something wild about claiming a character that looks straight out of a hentai is “tradition.”

I’m still annoyed about how ‘woke’ has been taken out of context for agendas in the first place.

Tear away enough layers and its almost always people who want to be able to ogle/do upskirts of Asian and/or blonde female characters of roughly 1 or 2 body types.

One image showed several pictures of the protagonist Eve from Korean developer ShiftUp’s upcoming action game Stellar Blade, juxtaposed against female characters from Overwatch, Forspoken, and Life is Strange. “Embrace tradition. Reject modernity” is emblazoned on the collage.

They are going to keep pushing a future where everything in a game is monetized. The bean counters and executives are making these decisions and the creatives will just have to work around them. I won’t be playing those games however.
