Is the story kneecapped? If this is anything like Yakuza it’s hard to imagine huge threads left open between games.

The argument that “no one else in the video games industry does this” is not in any way a legal argument and I’m not going to read the rest when you regurgitate this mindless contrarian shit. “Well no one else does it” is absolutely not how the courts work and you also don’t seem to be aware of the concept of civil…

Is this a real post? Copyright laws. Try throwing your own Disney convention and use Disney’s name and/or IPs and see what happens. This is far beyond a parody video and things of that nature which are within your rights to do with someone else’s IP. However, a quick look at your post history looks like you just love…

The FF games came and went just like any other game from a 3rd party so I think this was the licensing plan all around and it was easier to just say “2020" because that’s when it started.

Cringe.

I ended up being too busy to play this beta but this doesn’t seem like a good direction post-Steep. However I’m not too surprised it went further in this direction since it sounds like they just really amped up characteristics from Steep that were already there but weren’t so in your face. I already thought Steep was…

I cannot decide if this is cringe or actually funny 

This wasn’t a Nintendo event. It’s an event using Nintendo’s IP in a way Nintendo does not like. If you want to play with some people at your house and not have a paid and marketed event then Nintendo isn’t going to care. Start doing anything more public and the lawyers get involved.

Libertarianism. Not even once. 

I think generally speaking what you see in game dev is an exaggerated version of what you see in software dev as a whole. I think because games are considered more “creative” it creates a different set of expectations that just brings out these bad facets on a regular basis. I know plenty of people in software dev…

Examples? And how do they look? What resolution when handheld and docked? There’s a handful of ports that have “low quality settings on PC” vibes but they exist. That’s what the article is skeptical about. Is this just going to be one of those or will it actually look decent?

A lot of of the comments are merely about concepts and not actually comparing these games on a mechanic or design level. Look, Among Us looks like trash, and mostly plays like trash, but it has a gameplay hook with a video game-ized form of Werewolf so it’s still fun to play. It’s really not surprising that a…

Wild. I put in maybe 4-6 hours streaming and it looked and played great just you know with the compression of a Youtube video at all times. The whether has cooled down, I can turn on my gaming PC to really see how this thing looks, and then I come across this while it’s updating? God damn. Guess I’ll see how bad it…

I think “4X” and “Grand Strategy” are both used in a bit to describe such games and like roguelite and roguelike I couldn’t tell you the difference. You were close enough with strategy but I think people mainly use that term for battle-oriented RTS and turn-based strategy compared to the society building you do in…

Thanks for the easy to get through writeup that hit what I wanted to know about. Some reviewers are just too deep into 4X without actually being able to describe it to more casual players so this gives me a better idea of how it works. Certainly seems worth a spin via Game Pass.

Tell me you didn’t read the article without telling me you didn’t read the article.

Really glad they’re adding so much stuff to the cloud. After I addressed bufferbloat on my router it’s been an incredible experience to stream game pass stuff. Feel like I’m in the future every single time and especially so after doing a several hour play session with no issues. I hope we get more…

No, not everyone has a gmail address, that’s a naive thing to say. I had this issue at work - no gmail and a meeting required one. However, it turns out it was as simple as having my co-worker log correctly into their business Google account rather than personal where you don’t need an account to join the meeting.

They’ve covered a wide variety of Apple Arcade games. It’s not like this is the first thing they’ve covered or whatever you’re implying. Kotaku is also very short on staff at the moment. I think Fahey did a lot of the mobile stuff and it appears Fahey’s beat has expanded a lot during this staff shortage.

Base model is $329. Likely the best value for the specs/screen that you’ll find at that price range as the middle range for Android tablets is not great and you don’t get to the worthwhile stuff at pricier points.
