It looks like what Trespasser tried to be but didn’t have the tech to handle. I’m looking forward to it for sure.

He didn’t ask for this...

The Square Enix was an inevitable train wreck from the moment the Square and Enix merged. It was a doomed effort from the start because of how the merger went down, specifically the execs who remained with the company. When a company is having problems, the most likely cause is the *execs*, so keeping them on is like…

Doesn’t come as a surprise to me the least.

My guess is they didn’t want to go there and they just wanted an interesting dystopian location for their cat to exist.

I’ll start this by saying that anyone is free to feel insulted by whatever they feel insulted by. But I - an Asian-American living in a third world country - really think this criticism is stretching a bit.

I actually don’t think using a real life aesthetic makes you have “a responsibility to grapple with its history.” I see the rice hat idea is being a bit more questionable, but “they didn’t insert a painful history lesson about a real life community (that had nothing to do with the story of their game)“ is... a plus?

Yet this site name is Kotaku. If there is a sense of irony about “appropriation” being ignored here... *shrugged*

I agree with the classic cyberpunk tropes and orientalism especially with the hats (“Get it? These are Asian robots...”), but I’m not so sure the developers had an obligation to explain the history. Sounds like the choice for the location was very much inspired from the perspective of a cat. It’s also a fictional…

All characters are automatically unlocked with local play. I’m surprised I didn’t see that anywhere on this list, as that’s really important and sets this game apart from literally every other f2p game. 

I keep forgetting that Beyond Good & Evil 2 is allegedly in development.

My favorite part of this whole deal is ND crowing about how this game was made “without crunch.”

Is there a reason Kotaku seems openly hostile to GamePass?

I mean, the ME3 cupcakes were funny, petty, and got the point across without threatening the devs.

Shredder’s Revenge was a big “Day One” get for them recently.

Won’t someone please feed Ari?

I think you’re reading subtext in Solo that wasn’t really there.

So, my old man worked with a bloke who had like 11 near-death experiences. And we’re not talking about “Gosh, if I didn’t look in that shop window for half a minute and instead crossed the road when I gonna, I’d have been hit by that car!” sort of near-death experiences.

Aneurysms scare the crap out of me because they seem to happen to anyone regardless of health and there is not much you can do about it. I also fear the thing Emilia did where you have one, they save your live but you are not “you” anymore. My mother-in-law suffered one 25 years ago and while she survived, its not a…

I can see that point of view. I liked this ending a lot, though. Him dying would be a fitting conclusion to his story, but it would also be less messy and complicated than this show has been. That would be giving BoJack a way out, and one last opportunity to make his friends’ lives all about him. Him living with the…
