Why? “e” stands for electronic, which means that it is something that does not take place in the real world. “Sports”refer to competition involving physical exertion. Combine the two and we end up with eSports, quite literally meaning “non-physical sports”, which leaves us with only the electronic and competitive…

Unfortunately, that’s not my point. My point is that the project could have been scaled down in terms of scope (reducing expectations and backlash at the same time) and capitalised on the added manpower for future content such as patches and DLCs.

Man, if only HelloGames launched NMS as a $25-$30 Early Access game with perhaps 1 or 2 free patches and planned future DLCs, used those sales revenue to hire additional staff, and get some official communications going...people would not have shat on it as hard as they did.

There is also something odd in the search from time to time. For example, if you were to search for term “America” daily and sort them according to upload dates, you would realise that there are new videos for “America” daily, which makes sense since the term is so general.

Doesn’t come as a surprise, since word has it that Xi enjoys strong domestic support through nationalism and hard-line stance and might be planning to break China’s unwritten rule of serving only 10 years by pushing for gradual systemic reforms. International posturing and the cracking down on dissent would allow him…

Learning through speech. Sometimes not so wonderful.

Couldn’t this already be done by third-party bots?

They wouldn’t, because it is not in their interest.

I watched a video on his Twitch channel and found him to be responsive to his viewers, pretty casual and laid back, and is definitely not a “douche” that many of the users here are calling him.

Well, does it really matter that much to him? He already earns millions of dollars per year, enough to last him a lifetime. Whatever he does right now is not essential to his livelihood, so as long as he feels like it, he could stop making videos entirely.

The game looked pretty smooth even in portable mode. Glad to see that since people were questioning the capabilities of the hardware.

IT’S TIME TO DDDDDDUUUDUDUDU.....PLAY A CHILDREN’S CARD GAME.

As a reader, I do not see pre-release information as something that is essential to a gaming content website. I usually wait a bit before I buy games, and Kotaku’s post-release reviews are much more useful than the nonsense that Steam review is.

No, Tsai called him to congratulate him on winning the election. He did not call Tsai. There is a very huge difference between the two. Although I am sceptical of Trump’s capabilities, I still think that reports should be honest and fact-based.

With no consideration for the multiplayer, I just found NMS to be boring. It’s a Mineral Mining Simulator 2016 that got boring after 5 hours.

My bad, it does indeed. YouTube does not list the official video high in the list when I searched for it. Nevertheless, there are plenty of monetised re-uploads that have garnered 40-160 million views each. The official video would probably have higher view numbers if not for those unofficial uploads.

The video with 160+ million views is not on his own channel. It’s a fan-upload, I guess. His official video only has 7 million views. Not sure if he has filed a “revenue takeover” application on YouTube though. That’s not to say that he has earned zero dollars, but it’s probably not as much as people thought.

I do not think that there are notable Digimon games on non-Sony platforms, perhaps the closest to a Digimon World is the DS game. It probably has a lot to do with the target audience being mostly Japanese, and the fact that two of Sony’s platforms are popular in Japan (PS3/4 and Vita)

How about like...giving us a new AAA Digimon game on PC or something. I’m tired of the Digimon franchise being a “mostly” Sony exclusive.

Nobody wants the overgrown Zubat.
