Not to say I told you so, but this is the digital future everyone was so excited for a decade ago, and still calls me a luddite for questioning.

There was a point in final act of the Last Jedi where I realized that I had no idea what was going to happen next. That’s a feeling I had never felt before with Star Wars, and I haven’t felt it since. Just because of that, TLJ was my favorite SW media since ESB.

Legit why I buy as many games as I can from GOG even though Steam is more convenient. The DRM free releases GOG puts out of classic games is a level of art preservation we hardly see anymore.

Their pricing and google’s tendency to axe things that aren’t making the moola is the main reason I’ve not “bought” any games on my new Stadia. I got the neat little $22 deal for the chromecast and controller, figuring that if Stadia tanks, I’ll at least still have a pretty decent controller for the PC (confirmed -…

Report: This was not at all surprising to anyone

 I'm gonna "no true Scotsman" here, but it really is my personal belief that anyone saying they don't want backwards compatibility isn't a "real" PlayStation fan. Real PlayStation fans were there from the beginning when backwards compatibility came standard, and expected it to continue.

why anyone wouldn’t want backward compatibility is just beyond me. after 25 years of collecting playstation games, i would love the option of dropping any of my discs into the current system and playing them. fortunately, i can almost get there with a PS3 Slim and a PS5 hooked up to my tv.

Irrational fanboys - of any stripe - are a goddamned plague.

I never understood why people think that’s the way to express their jealousy. I am a pretty big Playstation user but I had to get a PS3 a couple years ago just so I could play games I missed out on cheaply. And you know what? GTA IV, The Godfather 2, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, The Saboteur, they are all great in their…

Things have changed I think. Game design hasn’t really evolved much. Suddenly playing old games is often more fun than the half complete buggy tripe they put out now. Upscale the graphics, add some bigger textures for 4k support and boom, it’s new again on an all you can eat platform. Meanwhile the market outside…

Guess what? You and your company are scalpers too! Fuck you!

Mr Bayliss said he was “very in tune with my moral compass, as a person” and the thought that families weren’t able to purchase a games console as a result of his business had bothered him.

I was thinking of getting a Series S just to keep up with Game Pass stuff but the lack of a disc drive has turned me off of that idea (though, considering I’ve been unable to get a PS5 or a Series X, we’ll see how I feel when there are more X/S exclusives that I want to play).

Don’t even get me started on this. In Canada, a “family sized” box of cereal is smaller than ever. Basically smaller than what even a normal sized box used to be 10 years ago. Everything is getting smaller and more expensive.

Your journey in this case is to a complete, fully functional product. You’re putting a pretty face on spending money on something that is buggy, lacking in many features and you have no real idea when any of those things will be resolved.

I can care about both.

Exactly. This shit is gross. How you pirate a game day 2 and don’t feel like a thief is beyond me. Straight up entitled. And kotaku is becoming increasingly disappointing with shit like this. I’ve been coming here for over a decade and it’s in my rotation less and less these days. 

There are people in the comments saying it’s okay to pirate the game because it’s a Switch exclusive and they don’t want to buy a Switch. Then there are the ones harping about 4k 60fps and inferior hardware. As if all this justifies stealing.

You play ROMs with a Switch Emulator. That in itself isn’t illegal. The illegal part is that most people will download a publicly available ROM rather than rip their own ROM from a legally acquired copy of the game.

Older games, I can understand - but encouraging the torrenting/pirating of a game one day after its’ release? For fuck’s sake.
