The core Final Fantasy franchise as it might’ve been.

These days, it seems all about what VII brought to the table. Final Fantasy IX’s sensibilities would be such a fresh breath for the series.

The desaturation of color in Final Fantasy seems to correlate quite nicely with its lost sense of whimsy. I miss the days of IX.

Ha! It’s always tempting.

My ringtone:

I know Pelosi is loathed on the right for being a Democratic leader, and loathed on the left for only supporting policies that can get enough votes to pass, but she is a badass motherfucker, and I love her.

Maybe I’m being too nickpicky, but I despise subtitles for game titles

Jesus fucking Christ, I thought that headline was a joke -- he really proposed those nuts!

That’s a little non-chalant about what the actual issues are here. Apple and Google together basically control the mobile market. They made the two dominant OS’s and now they are charging a premium for the privilege to sell to their customers, aka the whole world. Since there are no other companies, you can either…

I think you just need to suck it up and do right by your back, regardless of aesthetics.

Get Out is clearly based on a true story...

The digital one isnt going anywhere.

I’m assuming LoL itself doesn’t just go away, correct?

You could make a sort of back-breaking argument for Super Mario 35’s time-limited nature. The batshit concept seems like it’s been created uniquely to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the odd-job brothers, and being digital only they can try to sell it as an “event” rather than a “product”.

That rumor’s been live since June, seems more like a tease at this point!

So... does Nintendo itself have absolutely nothing for fall/winter? Will it simply be MIA for the holidays? Downplaying the hype machine is welcomed... up until the point that we can’t budget for it anymore. I don’t want to commit money to one thing and find out, oh, actually Nintendo is releasing this super awesome…

I don’t doubt that there’s a thin line between genuine concern for the Chinese government’s Orwellian influence, and xenophobia. But we still must find a way to meaningfully condemn the government’s attempt at suppressing its history of oppression, and minimizing dissent under what is an authoritarian regime. Trying…

Not exactly a “controlling interest.” Activision did this strictly for sales, and would have regardless of whether Tencent had invested in them. This problem is greater than Tencent.

You’re correct, another reply pointed out that Kotaku itself clarifies this at the end of the article. I should’ve read past the advertisement underneath the trailer.

In the five years since Arkham Knight, I was expecting some actual gameplay, and a release a little sooner than 2022. Wonder what makes Suicide Squad worth seven years of development... or perhaps I should wonder what they used to be working on before they cancelled it in favor of this.
