Haha. “Jason’s biased bashfest.” I think you have unreasonable expectations of the critical process. Not every review of a game needs to be written by someone who loved its predecessor, nor does everyone need to have the same opinion of any given cultural artifact. There is no objectively good game! There is, in fact,…

This is a pointless, beaten to death argument, but the ranking goes IX, XII, V, [all the other Final Fantasy games], X.

Alright guys we’ve got two fantastic ideas here but we’re going to have to vote on one:

While the art is good and represents some genuine creativity (that of artist) the concepts sound like equivalent of tech bro entrepreneur standing in front of white board and writing

THIS IS EXACTLY HOW I FELT

Please please please let the PS5 be fully backwards compatible with PS4 discs and downloads. I have spent years amassing a giant library on my PS4 that I will be playing for many years more; discarding it makes no sense, nor does having two high-powered computers sitting side-by-side (with the Switch floating…

Good reporting!

To me, it shows that people like to download games that are cheap (impulse buy) and have a small memory footprint. For full-prices games, I prefer to buy with an Amazon discount, and big games I’d rather not have eating up my memory card.

To try and anticipate your response:

Personally, I think it’s a bad faith argument to blame non-consensual or manipulative sexual advances on a sexually liberated culture. You can have one without the other. Your argument also implies that before the advent of culturally normalized casual sex, women were being treated respectfully and on equal footing.…

Where in the article does it say or imply that the entire male population thinks this way?

I think the editing and delivery on this one are great, and I echo the previous comment that you have a spot on radio voice. The one thing that’s rubbed me wrong on some of your other videos is frequent use of slow-down on the audio track, but you don’t do that here, and I think it’s all the better for it

This reminds me a little of picking up Morrowind while in middle school, though I imagine that game’s failings weren’t quite as egregious for the time. I got hooked by the game while also being amazed by how glaring it’s flaws were.

Doom is one of the few video games I’ve played in my life to give me motion sickness, just playing it the normal mass-market way. I can’t imagine how debilitating the VR version would be.

Disagree. The voice acting is awful. Excruciating to listen to.

Wow! This (preferring rando rumor mills over authoritative, rigorous news outlets) is exactly how the public interacts with the standard news/politics media as well!

Naw bruh, I’ve been playing video games since the early 90s and I care about all these things. I agree that most people don’t think about them; but I come to Kotaku for interesting insights on a hobby that’s meaningful to me, not for surface-level opinions shared by the majority.

I always enjoy your curt dismissals of hyperventilating, pearl-clutching commenters who don’t get that reviews of video games are opinions, and opinions are subjective, and an interesting opinion is one that brings insight to the table, not one that reinforces the opinions of the commenter.

I’ll also throw in Bravely Default. Don’t watch anime but play lots of Japanese games and, at times... ick

Oh, I dunno. Those seem like they could be two very different experiences, depending on your preferences.
