I think the point is that they used to make interesting boundary pushing games and now they’re just making content for DOTA and Counter Strike and this is just a Hearthstone game in the DOTA universe that not many people honestly care about. I’m sure it will be financially successful and well designed but it’s not…

Go blow Valve. You have more money than any game company on earth and you’re making a “me too” TCG.

Ah I see from that trailer that this is a game about rocks and colored lights. I cannot wait to color rocks with light and cards or something. I just hope it has full chat functions so everyone around me can let me know what a worthless virgin cuck I am like in the real DOTA.

I don’t even count some of the ones you listed and I still say it’s too much

Glad to see they’ve diverted their resources away from Half Life 3, Left 4 Dead 3, Team Fortress 3, or any of the other games people have wanted them to make so that they can make Hearthstone 2.

Valve is dead as a gaming creating company

Two card game announcements in a single day. The first, from Gearbox, and this one from Valve.......sigh.

Look, we get it, Hearthstone is huge and everyone wants some of that heat...but, come the fuck on.

Between Blizzard’s juggernaut, Gwent, The Elder Scrolls Legends, the various versions of Magic, Duelyst, the Pokemon…

At this point, it seems pretty clear that Kotaku is on the Ubisoft pay roll.

Do some real reporting and talk about how this game was released in an unfinished state full of bugs. Maybe discuss how hundreds of Xbox users had all of their game save data reset just by having another person in their household play using a…

Speaking of Grumps, the trailer looked bad to me. Am I going to have to hand in my gamer card?

Oh man I loved Pixels and the Emoji movie, NOW THIS!

Yeah, I caught that, but my statement got caught off in the pub for some reason.

Your name is 31 savage, how can you even talk?

I’m confused, how does that relate to what I said?

This game is effing AMAZING. I can’t believe they’re releasing three FREE DLCs to this game.

But that just means he can tank damage to run away, not necessarily to be useful. What good is survivability if you can’t output enough damage to fight back? Closing the cap would just mean you get closer to people who will build ult from you and kill you.

I’m not sure I follow the thought process here. Earthworm Jim is a failed experiment because the levels are difficult to navigate and the princess is flattened by a cow? I mean, by treating her as pointless, killing her with a cow, and calling her Whats-Her-Name, it seems Earthworm Jim is satirizing how other games do…

Off topic: I loved Battlestar Galactica’s ending.

They can shit on Alan Wake’s narration all they want(though I also think that’s a bit too far given the style and context of the game being written like a book), because it still has one of the single greatest story telling mechanics. The pages that hinted at the future. It was a unique way to instill dread within the…

Yeah, I thought the storytelling did it’s job quite well in Alan Wake. The narration was hokey at times, sure, but I’d put money on it being intentional. The game’s narrative structure was meant to mimic a novel, where the author does expound on every little thing. And beyond that, it was meant to resemble a *Stephen…

sometimes bad (Alan Wake)
