I would like to add - Rez. Playing that game stoned is almost like a meditative experience.

As a storyteller, to say that you’ve “had” to save your black woman for a story is a bit weird, because you’re the writers, and you write the story, and there is nothing you have or don’t have to do. You could have altered the story (most of the story isn’t even in the game proper). You could have changed the…

It would be worth keeping an eye on this situation as it continues to develop. I mean it was a technicality that allowed Blizzard to punish Blitzchung in the first place.

Anyone with an even low inkling of the political climate should have raised voice and said this may blow up in our face if you take a stance.

Okay, but this is just more corporate speak without any merits. The whole “free speech is important, but we also feel like using our platforms is inappropriate!” really comes down to “Don’t cost us any fuckin’ money, kid. Please make your protest convenient to us.”

If he didn’t want to be groped, he shouldn’t have been wearing that hat.

Yep, they’re in there. You can drink them to refill your stamina, from what I understand. Definitely kind of immersion-breaking, but they made for a couple of great bits in the Tim Rogers video review.

Nope - its real. Apparently in the US of A in Death Stranding, Monster is the beverage of choice when turning ones bodily fluids into incendiary devices.

I would love to say this is absolutely the paranoid ranting of a madman.

This Victory has been sponsored by Tencent and the chinese goverment.

More interested in the sequel Deadspin 2 with all of the original characters

Announcing that they’re revoking Blitzchung’s suspension would be a good start towards showing actual remorse.

Good! I hope the protests keep growing.

Hong Kong support still going strong, even if change seems distant and unreachable. All the power to the protesters.

Others have already mentioned the absolutely fire line in this article, but let’s just go ahead and reinforce it: shit like this is why you’re one of the best, Schreier—and why Kotaku remains the force it is in a world of bland “stick to sprouts” coverage.

Something directly related to sports because it will increase my core brand value.

I fully expect that this will be the last WAYPTW post, because the herbs are gonna herb. I hope that it isn’t though. I’ve been posting these missives for almost two years straight, and I would like to continue. Kotaku has always been my gateway to the other sites, the one that I bookmarked. I started reading Gawker…

Depends on where you’re from, though. I’ve seldom (never?) seen such unanimous reviews among the French specialized press/websites, with reviews ranging from 8/10 to 98/100, with a collection of 19/20... Even the site that’s considered the harshest here goes with a 9/10 (and no, since their launch in 2000, no game has…

Good review, and it doesn’t surprise me that the female characters take a backseat in this. Kojima’s handling of female characters(save Eve in MGS3, probably his better handled female character in an important role, and that’s a LOW bar to cross)has always bugged me.
