My guess is that in a month or so we’ll start seeing original compositions. There are probably already dozens if not hundreds of original compositions floating around but those don’t make for an exciting news story, since there’s no personal connection to the reader. Give it time.

Can we toss Vice on that list?

Might be worth playing this game just to see some of this stuff in it’s intended environment. Gorgeous work, supreme attention to detail.

If “a sense of pride and accomplishment” isn’t a line in some film next year where the hero gets some menial, mindless task assigned to them, I will be genuinely surprised.

No you could just pay for Star Cards that among other things could MAKE BOBA FETT INVINCIBLE while using his Jetpack. Certainly not pay to win.

LOL I like how it’s not EA’s fault for putting in the predatory, grindy-ass lootboxes it’s this guys fault for coming up with a way to not have to grind for predatory, grindy-ass lootboxes. You must be from Stockholm.

I love the guard change. In an MMO, super-powerful guards make sense. But, in a modern single player RPG I should have the freedom to simply slaughter everyone if I so choose, with dire consequences of course. The mod developer is right, though, I mean the Witcher has gone up against some of the most bad-ass baddies…

This is some good writing.

People used this exact argument in reverse to get people to play Marvel Heroes when it came out. This is probably the least helpful opinion ever, since Ultimate Alliance has no development, no potential for new content, very little replay value, and no social aspects. They’re completely different games.

Can someone educate me on whether or not revealing armor is frowned upon or not? I’m not being silly or flippant here, I’m genuinely confused on what the current social temperature on this is. There seem to be entire websites devoted to lampooning and deriding revealing armor...but at every convention cosplayers seem…

So it’s a virtual Hunger Games? If they can find good Gamemasters and an announcer like Ceasar Flickerman, this actually might blossom into a thing. One thing Twitch has been lacking for me is that sporting-event feel where you have a knowledgeable announcer passionately explaining what’s taking place for the…

Add the extra e yourself, since you have so much time on your hands.

I have to say, I’m quite pleased and encouraged to see Kotaku taking such a hardline stance on calling out this bullshit practice.

The only problem with this is that in most species with tails, the tail is used to aid with balance, so sleeving or clothing it would hinder that.

Miquo’te don’t have human ears, but to be fair to Square-Enix at least the animators try to bring a little realism to their cat-girls and cat-boys. Their tails twitch and move and are expressive, their ears will animate during emotes, they at least have thought through the biology of a cat-person and tried to infuse…

This actually isn’t an uncommon trend of thought in current industrial design, so the HCD4 sounds like he/she has a background in it or is working around people who are in ID. Bezels are seen as more approachable, since you have space to put your hands and interact with the device.

As a “gamer of color” I’m immensely glad they removed the “garbage” and kept the technical mastery and attention to detail. My eyes can’t roll far enough back in my skull at the (largely) white critics complaining (!!!) that they adhered to the artistic style and removed the racist overtones. I can’t thank them…

Oh, yes can’t believe I forgot about Horizon, we played through that one, beat it, and loved it, especially the storyline. Actually picking up the DLC this week. Didn’t have quite the scope of Witcher 3, you’re right, but definitely at the top of our list. Can’t believe I forgot that one.

Honestly there are very few truly free-to-play games that can hold my interest. I prefer to just pay monthly for a full-fledged MMO like Final Fantasy XIV or WoW, and get my money’s worth, rather than trying to do the math every time some new content comes out to figure out if this or that loot box is “worth it”.
