I like them as a way to extend my time with a game I'm really into. It's fun to have some additional goals to pursue after I've beaten a game.

You certainly managed to draw a lot of conclusions about games that are 100+ hours long without actually playing them, based entirely on very small amounts of information. Clearly, we have found our new authority on the subject.

I don’t want to be overly critical, but didn’t Netherrealm have a bit of a mea culpa with Ronda Rousey (which holy shit she does), and not even because she sucked as a human being, but because even her fans thought she did a bad job as Sonya? So why are they bothering paying more money than a real voice actress would…

Once again. Typical Sony. Nailing the hardware design - failing the software/firmware implementation.

I really can’t see this being a huge success. At this price point I’d just buy a Switch or save for a Steam deck/ Ally.

I don’t know, it seems like a pretty blatant rip off of Quidditch. And if they changed the broomsticks to, like, gliders or something it would likely lose a lot of the immediate appeal it has to fans who would only pay attention to it because it’s invoking Harry Potter. I’m no attorney, but I can see the argument.

I swear Kotaku greenlights these shit articles just to stir up comments and clicks. It’s pure horseshit.

Why is this article taking shots at Troy Baker’s performance? I understand you didn’t particularly like the game (or know when it was released) but you can’t be ignorant of Bakers Joel being one of the most acclaimed performances in any videogame. It seems somewhat spiteful to chirp on about the superior Pascal based…

God this is atrocious “criticism” of the type where simply identification of a trope somehow equals bad storytelling. Did the writer get his education about film from cinemasins? And why start off an article about a game by admitting you don’t even know when it was released and didn’t have enough initiative to simply…

“I’m going to brag about not playing one of the most critically acclaimed video games ever, defend that decision, then use that decision to color my review.”

I’m the weirdo that actually uses the News app, but I think it’s only good for one thing: sale announcements.

That is a truly bizarre hill to die on.

“Yawn, another (liberal) author for a video game website trying to take a hit at one of the most innovative men to ever live.”

Never takes long for a Musk bro to show up and post something cringy and hilarious.   

I clicked the article cause it was a “review”...

The best Metroidvania of the year and not one mention of the actual Metroid that just came out?

Dawg, this is like a next level Shit Take.

Historians will look back on this take with awe and disgusting intrigue saying “Yo, the fuck was wrong with this dude in 2021? ” 

Who is this for? If you want to play “smaller” games use your phone or a Switch or something.

I’m sure more people would be behind this movement if the acronym was phrased in a way that cast blame on the system, not the individual.

Nah
