I really love the smart design decisions in this remake. The battle system feels like the polished best version of previous Action RPGs with a “build the meter” mechanic many who play fighting games will find familiar. There is a rewarding challenge and payoff to moving previously unbalanced spells and overpowered…

The gameplay tends to have some similarities, but it’s not like some series where all or most of the games play pretty much the same. The biggest differences are in the characters, stories, and settings (though there do tend to be common elements, such as magical crystals, ostrich-like birds called chocobos, and the…

I have played FF7 approx 35 times in the last 22 years of my life, I’m not playing FF7R expecting FF7, I’m playing FF7R for a BRAND NEW VISION of the game I played 22 years ago.

I was thinking the other day, while reading Patricia’s Overwatch review, I couldn’t help but think about how enjoyable her writing style is to read. Every article of her’s has a depth of character that connects with me somehow, whether I agree or disagree, I’m always left with a deeper understanding of her topics. And…

I don’t know your personal situation and how you would feel about it but I met someone in Indonesia while traveling there, a french like myself, in Ubud, that was hosting couch surfers (I was surfing his place).

Shocking right? You’ll have to pry it from my cold, dead fingers :P

Fetishes and Daddy issues. But there is a way to fix it. If you are with a girl and she calls you daddy, call her mommy back. 99% chance of solving the issue, 1% chance of it going to a really weird place.

Seriously, what a petty reason to not buy a game. But hey, your money I guess.

“There is a very significant difference between getting fired because you offended your boss, and getting fired because you offended an internet lynch mob who complained to corporate HQ.”

This is true! In the first case, you were fired because you insulted your boss, which most managers consider unacceptable…

Also dont forget: Never look at your target in the eye. No matter if they try to talk you out of it or bargain with you remember they will do you in just the same.

Actually, we have a whole series dedicated to individual VR games, including some of the ones you mentioned: http://kotaku.com/tag/vr-game-at…

That said, I’m sure Paul Simon doesn’t need the hassle of people thinking he’s a kill joy.

Metal concerts tend to be full of pretty decent people to be frank. It’s funny but the more extreme the band, the safer the audience generally feels.

You are terrible at logic.

You would think some of that Facebook money would go to a PR firm.

So 20-ish years ago, I bought Baldur’s Gate like so many of us did and I played it vigorously. I also made myself a character and went through all the trouble of re-recording the various voice responses for environmental events (sunup, sundown, orders, damage, etc) and making an avatar for him. Then after many…

There are no miniature giant space hamsters that GO FOR THE EYES in Diablo. Hence why
