Glad to see other people aren’t quite loving it either. I’m happy for the people that do like it, more options are rarely a bad thing, but to me it just looks completely unappealing. Then again, I was never a minecraft fan. Not that I’ve got any interest in picking up an Xbone but it’d be cool to see a clear one.…

I’m a little curious why Kotaku seems uninterested or perhaps unwilling to credit Laura Kate Dale with the original leak of this title way back in January.

The only reason it might not be game of the year is because it had just a ridiculous amount of fantastic competition. 2017 may be shitty for a lot of other things but in just 4 months and change we’ve had several very strong contenders for game of the year. I’m still playing catch up from that two month span where it…

As far as I’m aware leaks are solely the realm of broken street dates and often stolen games. I don’t want to say leaks from a reviewer have never happened but I’m not familiar with any instances where that’s been the case, not counting incidents where backend issues or human error have caused stories to go up early.…

Breaking embargo is something you do only if you don’t mind jeopardizing your ability to receive review code in the future. For any serious reviewer it’s a trick you can only do once and it’s very likely to deal serious damage to whichever outlet you’re working for. With rare exceptions like Destructroid accidentally…

Coming off Tales of Xilia I was basically upset at Tales of Zestiria for being a massive letdown as soon as I left the opening area. I finished it because a friend told me the ending was worth it and I have yet to forgive them for it. All that said, I was gifted Berseria and was amazed at how good it ended up being. I…

Hey, if Tom Cruise can be the last samurai I don’t see why Oda Yuji can’t be a slender italian mafioso.

I share the sentiment, I really like part 1 and for me part 2 was the peak of the series. The sheer bulk of all the characters often made for some really interesting imagery.

My theory is part 4 is where the proportions of the characters started to more closely align with reality as we know it. I’m fairly divorced from the popular Japanese media scene, but I could see series 5 doing really well with almost exclusively svelte and androgynous characters.

My dad sold my original playstation for drug money. He’d done a lot of fucked up stuff but that’s something I’m still not prepared to forgive him for after all these years.

I feel really conflicted about this. By all accounts That Dragon Cancer lacks a lot of the dynamism that separates that medium of video games from that of movies. It’s really driven home by the mini-game segments where it seems like the developer tried to game things up a bit, though I personally found they added to…

Something tells me this was a genius customer service scheme to allow the devs to reapond to glitches by suggesting players eat shit and die.

I don’t mean to undermine your achievement here but after watching Destructoid’s UK editor, Laura Kate Dale, take on the Sans fight in Undertale 582 times over 5 days I find it hard to be impressed by any gaming struggle that takes less than a day and clocks in at under 3 figures worth of attempts.

Hell of a read! You really got across a lot of the frustration that comes with buying some expensive and shiny new tech only to have it fail to meet your most basic of expectations. I’ve had a number of similar frustrations with my PS3 and while it hasn’t put me off games all together it’s pushed me more towards my…

Thanks for pointing that out, I missed it completely.

If it makes you feel any better they seem to have really done their homework in optimizing their gearfor lightning resist, using good strategies for getting in close to Smough and they’ve levelled up quite a bit. I always have a tough time with them partially because I like killing Ornstein last but also I’ve never…

At a guess these people are youtube personalities who are useful to Nintendo as marketing tools. I’m actually kind of annoyed at them erasing an entire genre of gaming videos (altered ROM Super Mario World videos were ubiquitous enough I feel OK calling them a genre) but they’re being pretty clear about their…

Oh wow, it’s a real life Ash Lake. That was always the spookiest place in Dark Souls for me. The music, the still water, the towering dead trees, it was a somber experience, a beautiful limbo.

I love Dragonball Evolution, it’s a nearly perfect “so bad it’s good” kind of movie. Chow Yun-Fat’s performance as Roshi is still amusing to me after all this time.

Wow, you were completely spot on about every last thing you said in this article! I wish I’d known to read this and save myself the time.
