oh, they were here and they were quite sure of themselves. They were outnumbered of course, but that didn’t stop them from confidently asserting their claims.

Maybe someone can correct me, but are at least some of the front-page articles on Kotaku arranged by audience engagement and not chronological order? If so, you see these articles a lot because they’re driven by views and comments. If you want more exclusively videogame content (and not just videogame-adjacent…

GTFO, it looks fantastic. 2D games can be just as amazing (if not moreso, in some cases) than 3D games.

oh nice! I’m not completely up-to-date on all things Pokemon, so didn’t know that.

“Give me a Legendary Pokémon who misses every other attack because its eyes are still adjusting to the sunlight after slumbering for centuries.”

I think it used to be, but when I think From Software now, I think Souls/Elden Ring and all of those have been pretty much critically acclaimed 10s.

Oh, that’s great. I sometimes hear my friends saying, “oh I spent 150 hours on Elden Ring/Tears of the Kingdom” and I’m thinkin, “dude, I haven’t spent 150 hours on games in the past year, let alone on one game haha.”

This sounds like one of those imperfect great games that has its flaws and quirks, but ultimately ends up rivaling more highly-touted ones due to the sophistication and depth of its systems.

oof, appreciate the perspective. That sounds pretty damning. I don’t have too much time to spend on games anymore, so maybe I do pass on this for a plethora of more highly-touted games. 

Some people thought this was underwhelming, but for someone who was pretty big into Destiny, but never bought Destiny 2, this seems pretty interesting to me.

Actually, that’s not exactly true in this case. The English-speaking sampling (of 510 players) measured 60% of all participants meaning there were 850 English-speaking players total in the pool. The Japanese sampling (of 232 participants) measured 27% of all participants meaning there were 860 Japanese-speaking…

It makes too much sense.

haha, you might be onto something!

We’re #1! We’re #1! :)

Of course, the U.S. is the best at cheating.

Seems like everyone who plays them loves them. Okay, I just might have to get started then. Better late than never, right?

I have all the love in the world for turn-based RPG combat. You’re speaking my love language. I grew up on those games!

Sounds like a big time commitment, but I’m at least here to take the first step!

I assume that Musk himself will still be able to block people, but everyone else won’t? Seems to be how Twitter works these days.

Never played a Yakuza game, but this trailer (particularly the story part) makes it tempting. I’m a sucker for these type of Yakuza dramas.
