This is my list though. I don’t care what other people played!

Sounds insufferable! I have a hard enough time navigating this site, I reckon I’ll take your word for it and stay well in my lane.

You think it’s bad here, drop on over to PCGamer.com, where the most obnoxious “G” gamers gather to circle jerk each other with their superiority complexes.

Wait, hang on, did Sony not check with Kotaku commenters first before making this choice? Because I saw some the other day who were insisting it was actually PS4 consumers’ faults for not knowing the game would be busted—Sony could have saved a lot of embarrassment if they’d referred here first.

I think you meant to say “need”. CDPR has 1,111 employees as of press time.

Politics aside, the baseline guide I use is: Would I have been fired for doing this at work? In this case, absolutely. No “cancel culture” (which isn’t a thing) here, just a employee getting fired for being a fuck up. If it weren’t for his socio-economic position this wouldn’t even be a discussion.

And you’re only amplifying the discourse you don’t like, buddy. Complaining about complaints you don’t like is the lowest form of discourse, and if you don’t like it you can afford to follow your own advice and toddle off.

I believe that there is some inactive components to the vaccine that those who are highly allergic to them could be affected. Inactive components are things added to keep the vaccine safe during shipment etc. https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/09/health/covid-vaccine-allergies-health-workers-uk-intl-gbr/index.html

I’m just here to say this Cyberpunk hot take-osphere has me exhausted. All this posturing over the politics of the Polish studio, the total misunderstanding of how open-world games operate from people like Hughes above or Riley MacLeod, I’m just not that interested in what your opinions are.

I’m one of those weirdos who’d kind of prefer we go back to voiceless protagonists. I’m basically just looking for an interesting world and interesting ways to interact with it. I’ll do the heavy lifting in terms of telling stories. (I’ve played Skyrim a lot, easily 1500 hours, and I’ve never finished the main story.)

I never understand the criticism that if the game doesn’t tell you who your character is, there’s something wrong.  YOU decide who your character is, why they act in certain ways, how they approach problems, whatever.  This is an RPG, not a novel.  I mean, the computer is stepping in for a DM.  If you were playing a…

Not here to defend a game that isn’t on my radar from a company that has lost my esteem, but to defend blank slate characters in RPGs because I prefer full freedom of dialogue (and cohesion dependant on the roleplaying player) over pre-made player characters with pre-made personalities (even it makes for tighter,…

“Cyberpunk goes out of its way to make its “protagonist” nearly impossible to identify with.”

DS2 handles New Game+ so much better than any other FromSoft title, it’s honestly very frustrating seeing DS3 fail to make NG+ runs even half as interesting as DS2 manages to. Freya’s unique interaction and all the other little changes make it very engaging, and things keep changing slightly all the way up to NG+6 or…

I’m with you on DS2. I also recognize why others don’t like it, but I ended up enjoying it a lot. It was a rough start - for a while, I thought it was much harder than DS1, and I had spent the majority of that game flailing wildly and feeling like I could barely keep up with what it threw at me. So my initial struggle…

I admire your bravery in putting Dark Souls 2 up there. Its a game that deserves so much love than it gets. Its undeniably a mess but you can really get lost in that mess in a way you can’t really with DS3.

Talking solely about the Fromsoft soulsborne titles, my ranking has at least one contentious entry:

Sure, its a lot of problems with the game as it is. But even with crashes, low fps, etc i have to admit that the game itself is way better than i was wishing for. Its like my childhood dream game, deus ex but seemingly endless. I really love it even with the technical issues, one of my favorite games this generation…

Going with the themes of the episode, I think he just assumed they were pirates when they were probably actually people fighting to sabotage the Imperial guys who were invading their land/planet.
