Is the war resolved? I saw a live performance of imagine dragons’ bleeding out and thought it was decent. Listened to the studio recording on cd and it sounded like they mastered it, played it back against the brick wall of a closet, recorded that on a cassette, then mastered that for cd production. Unbelievable.

This prime sale was a masterclass in marketing that should be taught in schools. Prime membership required, requires you to be at the keyboard all day checking the site, maximum hype before it began for the three or so solid deals sprinkled throughout to keep your attention. Then bad deals after terrible products…

The review system has always been broken. From the lack of valve regulation of “review bombs”, to the black and white thumbs system, the community itself voting up entirely useless reviews, the poor “funny” tag implementation attempt, users not understanding the point of reviews is to review the actual game, the…

Have you tried Mercury? It has a built-in adblock plugin that may sufficiently kill those off.

Alternative browsers for iOS are only unpopular because Apple won’t let you set the default. That means that anytime you open a link in an app like mail, it kicks you to safari. It’s more trouble than it’s worth having to launch a different browser every time just so everything is in one place, despite how much better…

Man, my browser is in constant struggle with kotaku. Does kinja not support webm, or what?

The fact that it’s ridiculously cheap does not make it any less bad at what it does. This person wanted it for remote play and netflix, not a dualshock.

You would likely be severely disappointed. Capped at 720p, does not have netflix support, remote play is wonky at best.

As long as there are piles of well-crafted time trial stages, I don’t care if they shoehorn guns and multiplayer into the rest of the game. Still a must buy. Will probably be the only time I ever launch Origin.

So, if they’re making this platform agnostic, does this mean I don’t have to install itunes to access and use Music? I don’t mind streaming from the web, but there is no way I’m putting itunes back on my computer.

I don’t see how this could in any way be hurting devs of shorter games, or any devs for that matter. Refund-scamming is harder and more time consuming than pirating, and you risk getting your account locked. Refunds are just the result of implementing a thing that exists for every other product or service you can…

Can hardly contain my disappointment.

It remains my most questionable investment. Aside from being set up with my account info, it hasn’t actually seen any use at all. Thanks to lack of Netflix or support for any of the Vita games I actually want to play, I would still regret buying it if it were $10. The most disappointing thing is that even a modest…

Showtime and HBO are doing it objectively wrong, but better they try something now than scramble when traditional tv is killed off in the near future. They clearly see the market trend. Once Netflix inks a live streaming news and sports deal, cable providers will no longer be a thing.

I’m 100% on board the steam train at this point I’ll admit, but I’m hoping the Windows 10 xbox integration deal (whatever that will be) will put some pressure on steam. GFWL was a disaster, but MS is poised well to take another stab at the PC market. They’ll need to push some serious features though, even with…

This should begin sorting out at the end of 2015 due to the liability shift mandated by MC and Visa in the US. If I’m liable when accepting swipe and sign, you better believe I’ll be upgrading my terminals to chip and pin with the quickness.

My takeaway from this article and the impending AMD announcement is that the 970 should be getting a price reduction soonish. I’m a 90% enthusiast, and when the 970 can max out even the most horribly optimized AAA console ports, I see no reason to wait for another card once it hits the sub $250 price point. Should…

I don’t think I articulated my point very well. A game like this costs far more than a mere $50k to make. It’s a bad kickstarter trend to undervalue game development for the sake of reaching the goal and receiving funding.

$50k to fully complete the game? A lot of work has been done, but... come on now. No.

Refresh? No actual liveblog plugin? I could have sworn I remember actual liveblogs on kotaku and like before... maybe that was pre-kinja era.
