Naw dude, it’s just an opinion, written respectfully and tastefully and, in my opinion, with zero disdain. I gather he enjoyed it! If you read it with some distance, you’ll extract that: it’s very faithful to the style of SOTN; it hasn’t evolved much past that. Based on your response, I take it you’re exactly the…

I support people buying stuff from the Inventory because it supports Kotaku, a publication I enjoy, but please do not purchase any of these sandals under the false assumption that they are fashionable or anything other than terribly ugly

The combat starts off bad (because you’re always missing) but becomes very good as the systems stack and your characters grow stronger

The EEs are good! BG1 launched with issues (but was still playable) and got better. I played it on an iPad. Would recommend. 

How are the L and R buttons? In fact, how are the controls generally? Thanks!

According to the Coca Cola company, it did very well in taste tests. But public outrage was so great they immediately reversed course

This was a delightful interview.

Very charmed by their approach for this trailer

--kers are freaky?

Aaaaaaagggggggghhhhh **punches fist through monitor**

Wow. Who would have thought “slavery is bad and shouldn’t have happened” would be too loadedly political for some people?

All this, but screen size won’t change much. Same size w smaller body. Current games won’t play well on 3DS sized screen. Would force too many concessions

“This lack of harmony carries over into some of the combat.”

False and hateful news is a problem. But there is a lot of very excellent news out there, hiding in plain sight. When people complain about how awful the media is, there’s truth to that, but it’s also a dangerous overstatement, and it makes me want to shake those people and say, well stop flipping watching cable news…

My understanding is that to plead and pled are commonly used, but the most technically accurate formulation is “to enter a plea” and “entered a plea.” I think the verb form is considered a neologism. (I recall looking this up a few years ago when clerking for a judge.)

The objective meaninglessness you describe could be extended to most compensation/reward/advancement systems in place in video games or, hell, throughout our social lives

This scenario, and the music he set it to, actually feels very consistent with the post-Fallout-3 universe

Would I like this if I didn’t like 4? In that game: I didn’t like the camera, the lack of an enticing progression system, the button mashy controls, and I gave up when I lost to an early boss and was expected to replay, I think, the whole level?

By 2019 standards I hate that face! It reminds me of driving by daycares or children’s barbers in Miami as a kid, and probably someone’s uncle who was a painter had drawn the cartoon characters on the side of the building, always these super-deformed versions of Mickey or Kermit or whatever. This looks like that!
