I despised Dishonored because the game sucked if you like to play games as a "good guy."

Except that everyone else that writes for Kotaku has already posted one of these articles and the site is starting to come off like the forum of a bunch of angry gaming nerds going on tirades about a brilliant game because of the most nitpicky of junk. Might as well rename the site Ko-I'm too refined (or at least…

I'm not sure if it's already been mentioned, but the Hammerhead was not paid DLC for ME2, at least not in the traditional sense. It was part of Cerberus Network pass, i.e. ME2's version of an online pass. You got it for free (among several other DLCs) if you bought the game new as opposed to used. If you're writing…

If by "incredibly similar" you mean vaguely resembling in as much as it resembles any of a dozen other guns with similar layout and overall proportions, I agree. Otherwise I think you need to take a second look at your Nerf gun, because even on one with "realistic" paint, they look pretty much completely different…

The confusion over the Wii/Wii U is not from people like you or I, it's from people like my grandparents; people that a bought a Wii when it was a cultural fad and who are not very informed (or care to be informed) about gaming systems. The situation is further hampered by Nintendo's practice of selling Wii…

"Registered Users" really needs to stop being a bullet point for anything. It's a pointless stat, especially when there are spam bots out there that will create accounts just to spam forums and such. From now on, when you want to talk up your online store, how about discussing *revenue*. How many people are…

Oh it is that time again? Time to queue the whining from people who fancy themselves game connoisseurs and will prove it to themselves by finding things to nitpick in a popular, well regarded game?

I am a fan of The Force Unleashed, but I don't think it deserves the adjective brilliant. It's an ok brawler, that is uplifted by our reverence for the IP and having a story that's better presented than anyone would have expected. Were it set in an original universe, it would not entertain on the strength (or…

PS Meant to say rear wheels there of course; bad auto-correct.

Holy crap, all these years I never knew the F1 had those storage compartments in front of the rear wears.

What is with the pathetic size on these pics? Surely Kotaku can afford to host pictures more than 640x360 in size, yes? Is the site meant to be viewed exclusively on last gen smart phones now or something?

Saint's Row 3 - The Full Package is the midweek deal on Steam and it's $16.99 there (and previously has been on sale for as low as $12.50). Origin fails yet again.

Stephen, the whole point of that scene in Ascension is to subvert player expectations. It's a game clearly designed and marketed to existing God of War fans, not new comers. The player goes in thinking, "oh I see, it's time for the 'classic' God of War sex mini-game", but instead they throw you a curve-ball and turn…

They were good games in their day, but lets be honest, the saber combat in the game tended to devolve into wildly mashing the mouse button while moving around, hoping something would register with the game's rather questionable collision detection. For all the silly pomp that went into online fights in it's heyday…

I think the VW unreliability stigma comes from 90s and earlier VWs. I stupidly left the sunroof open on my 2010 GTI open during a downpour once, the interior was absolutely soaked - and apart from the Bluetooth module under the passenger seat getting fried, every single electrical control still works. No mechanical…

Point 1 isn't proven wrong. He didn't say that DRM prevents piracy, he said that DRM exists because of piracy - which is absolutely true. Whether it's an effective measure of stopping piracy is an entirely different subject, but you can't argue that DRM exists as a reaction to piracy. If people didn't pirate,…

*Everyone* in Privateer 2. It's got Clive Owen, Christopher Walken, John Hurt (Ollivander [wand seller] in Harry Potter movie) and David Warner (Sark [bad guy] in the original Tron) among several other less known celebrities.

Yeah like the golden age of the 90s, which brought us tasteful classics like this ;)

You have not been exposed to the right cats. As others have mentioned, cats have much more variable personalities. However, you get the right one and it can be an amazing pet. As a person who grew up with both cats and dogs, my current cat is the most loving, affectionate pet I've ever been around.

Yup. Push comes to shove, people are still going to buy the next console. I mean what else would they do? Read; spend time on some kind of meaningful self improvement? Yeah right :)
