‘Let’s put our pitchforks and torches away for a moment’? What kind of a gaming site is this?

Same here! Hollow Knight is one of my all-time favorite games, I’ve gotten over 100% completion in it, but the few hours I played of Dark Souls 3 made me want to die. I think I managed to beat a single boss. I would love to love those games (including Bloodborne, Elden Ring, etc.) because I enjoy the aesthetic a lot,…

Dark Souls (series) for sure. I’ve tried it, it’s quality, and I just don’t like it for the most part. I get tired of it after 5 or 10 hours.

I’ve never been into the Battle Royale thing at all, either. 

I like to imagine those same people dogpiling on a company celebrating a 40-year anniversary in 4 years. “Founded in 1988 and still running!”

Yeh I’m with you. Now I have been *educated* what it is, do I think it should be changed? Absolutely, especially considering the other parts of this game it all adds up to something not great. 

This is a good deal - the Quest 2 is pretty awesome as a standalone headset and makes for a pretty decent PCVR solution.

But if you can afford a Quest3, do that instead. They’re better in quite a few ways. 

I’ll pay double if they can do something to keep people who don’t enjoy a game from making shitty comments about its DLC.

Sure... Admitting that the naked guy running from the police is in Canada doesn’t make this blog entry--especially its title--less misleading...

I miss the days when playing the game and beating challenges were the only way to get cool armor/titles/skins. Now it’s literally just ‘I paid money to look cool!’. Worse, it came at the EXPENSE of earned rewards; because nobody wants to wear the $50 skin next to someone who looks better in the earned stuff. 

I do to. Only game I’ve bought cosmetic stuff for is PoE, and that was only to support the devs since the game is free. Even then, after also paying for the starter kit and upgrades to storage, I still paid less than half of what D4 costs.

I’m with you. Paid cosmetic DLC is stupid. “look I actually paid money to have my character look a certain way” when literally nobody else cares. Free ones are neat but paid ones are dumb IMO.

Agreed. I’m far more likely to be desirous of rare cosmetics that can only be earned through actual gameplay rather than something you just throw money at.

You’ll have to forgive them, the AI isn’t good at recognizing faces in a photograph.

I always thought when the TV exec suggests that the characters on Itchy & Scratchy should be asking, “Where’s Poochie?” whenever he isn’t on screen was just a funny bit of absurdity. But I’m realizing that this was actually meant to placate an audience that genuinely wanted to know where Poochie went.

I couldn't get into Futurama because John Futurama never showed up *once*.

I disagree, there are soooo many examples or terrible remasters and remakes. Games that dont know what things to streamline or improve and what should stay the same after so many years, or simply expecting the nostalgia to do all the work when many elements simply havent aged well

NFT owners getting burned should not come as a surprise.

The lesson we all need to learn from this and NieR: Automata is that when somebody asks you, “Why is this character design horny?”, it’s perfectly acceptable to answer “Because I like it.”

Look, we all get that gamers are young and horny. But don’t try to gaslight us with this bullshit that she was designed that way for “story reasons” and not to capitalize on the aforementioned horny gamers. You would have us believe that you started just with the idea of a woman who has to breathe through her skin,…

I like how your relatively simple sentence has brought people out to defend Kotaku for some reason.
