Reading the messages for myself, I honestly just got the vibe that he was trying to hit on her at that point, which after the convo they just had (that was weird, sure, but they seemed to understand each other pretty well) I think is totally fine. It just came off weird, but there is some chat responsibility here to…

Yeah, I’d say it looks like a current-gen EDF game, which is to say they generally look like shit but this one looks a little less so.

It’s already on PC through Origin, and has been for quite a while. I don’t think the average Madden consumer cares about mods.

My man Shy Guy has waited TOO LONG for this opporunity!

BPM and GunJam got announced not very long ago and are essentially the same pitch. This genre mash-up must be what the the computers predicted to be the next breakout thing.

I knew clicking this article would show me this comment, and it did not disappoint.

No way, Microsoft picked this up? I played the first “episode” of Bright Memory and it was a cool FPS/action game hybrid on Steam. Fairly sure it was made by one guy.  This is actually a pretty cool move by Microsoft.

The horns point me that way, but I agree -- it’s a unique enough portrait that I wouldn’t say one inspired the other without a lot of comparisons.

I can’t wait to start calling them GUN JAM clones.

The character ideas are all the exact same (samurai, demon girl, shirtless guy with animal head), but they did at least make original art for it all.  Can’t fault them as much as the more shameless rip-offs.

Didn’t GUN JAM (A different game that I thought was the same thing until I checked) just get leaked/announced yesterday too? What’s going on here?

Same for me with women and vikings. This game is gonna be a wild ride!

Fine, have your star, you filthy bastard.

How dare you call my boy Jean-Ralphio mildy famous?!

Unfortunately thats a G/O thing, not Kotaku specifically.  Not much they can do.  I have this site perma ad-blocked and muted because of that.

I played and loved the 3DS version first, but I have seen comparisons that make me want to play through the original as well. Some movement quirks were “fixed” that make several sections of the game slower, and the bosses are overall easier, but I still liked it and didn’t notice the changes on my first playthrough. …

Totally agree, there was a ton of trial and error for me figuring it out. Same note with dodging, it’s impossible to tell how long attacks are going to track you and if they can be dodged or you just need to guard through it. Personally I died a lot due to an over-reliance on dodging rather than blocking (I had to…

Also, if you play at all like me: stop dodging so much. Seriously. The last chapters of the game (especially bosses) kicked the shit out of me for dodging instead of guarding. Guard against ranged attacks, and (if you’re playing as Cloud) switch to Punisher while guarding if enemies come in to melee to parry. I pulled…

First on Stadia??? What the fuck?

This is kinda exciting, I loved the MW campaigns. Since they’re doing this, I hope they do all 3 campaigns, because MW3's campaign was absolutely bonkers and full of war movie tropes and I would definitely play through it again just for the absurdity of it.
