Bravo, sir.

The tears were intentional; it’s a meta experience. But now it’s all ruined. One again you have failed the Kojima. Punishment will be drawn out, poorly plottted, and absurd in the extreme. Somehow it will ultimately teach you to love as you never have before.

I am an old man who likes MST. I liked this MST, too. Now we have no MST. I am a sad old man who likes MST.

I also wish to hunt the people of 4Chan.

So... we're all in agreement that Stadia is just a long form performance art piece, right, and not actually an attempt by Google at serious competition?

You’ve succinctly summarized the experience of everyone who played that game. It should have been shareware.

Rockstar had a few of these “gems” before they got smart and purchased DMA (now Rockstar North). My favorite was State of Emergency. I worked at Funcoland at the time, and so many customers were jazzed because it was a ”new game from the GTA people.” I spent so many conversations futility explaining the difference…

Oni got mixed-to-poor reviews from both critics and gamers at the time. It was widely considered to be a cool premise and story, but with really janky controls.

Valve: “Behold! A new Half-Life game...”

There may be great story reasons to keep Soujurn out of it until now. However, there are exactly zero story reasons that Soujurn needed to be their first black woman. I'd love to hear them answer the why of that point honestly.

I mean, this practice writ large is essentially Trump's whole career: take credit for another’s work, run away with the money, and then throw a toddler's tantrum when caught. Rinse, repeat.

Who does he think he is? Trump?

Outer Wilds on PS4! Obra Dinn on Switch! No money in bank!

Wait, Funny Sweet Beauty Selfie Camera wasn't on the up and up? I never would have guessed.

You are the hero he needed, but not the one he deserved.

As the review predicts, many of the comments are saying “What did you expect? It’s Borderlands!”

Then count yourself lucky.

Hahahaha, what a shit stain.

Agreed. I spend an awful lot of time debunking myths about Japan, because most Americans’ only window into their culture are articles from sites like Kotaku. Imagine if all anyone knew about us was what they saw at ComicCon! Alas, no one thinks about it, so I have to take time at least once a year to debunk myths…

For perspective I like to show articles like these to my wife, who is Japanese but not even close to a gamer. She always makes the same sound of tired disgust, before muttering under her breath about “the shame of Japan.” It’s helpful to know that sometimes they’re as baffled as the rest of us.
