In five hundred years, when historians are sifting through the history of the medium, are they going to be looking at the Last of Us and all the subsequent photorealistic games and say “Oh, yes, that’s the look that defined videogames, the stuff that looks like movies.” No! Videogames will be defined by pixel art…

This is what we’re doing on kotaku now? An article stemming from the date of marriage of in game/show characters?

Seems to me Bethesda actually gets away with some stuff other Devs get called out on more. “Oh, it’s just Bethesda jank, modders will fix it, it’s expected.”

‘I thought that things will change for the better after Kotaku’s EIC removal from her position’

Dude, it’s a video game blog.  It isn’t the Newyork Times.  

It was written by somebody who calls a steering wheel a “driving wheel”, so...?

What? People haven’t gotten 70 hours into this game that just came out yet??

“Video games are art!”

There’s 18 articles so far today. Just two of them are about Baldur’s Gate 3, and of those only this one is on the topic of sex. You then have to go alllllll the way back to August 16th to find the most recent one before that on the topic (from any game), and that one is the article about speed-running to the first…

Hey, this doesn’t bother me personally, but I didn’t expect the spoiler about the Emperor’s identity in slide 9, and there may be others who it bums out

I think the lack of women at these is indicative of a larger problem, which is in itself indicative of an even larger problem.

discrimination lol

oh quit crying that she hit too close to home for you dude.  dont be that type of person and its not an issue.  it didnt bother me. 

Yeah, I need to look and see what I can get rid of. Fortunately, I don’t play a bunch of games at the same time and I mostly buy cross-platform games on PlayStation, where I have plenty of storage. As long as I can fit Fallout 76, NBA 2K23 (and replace that with 2K24 when it comes out), and Starfield, I should be…

TBH, this is a lot less than I was expecting. I was anticipating something to the tune of 200 GB (though, I expect future expansions will help Starfield meet that milestone :P).

I get the comparison but it kinda falls apart when there were several different theatrical versions with a number of varied scenes.

Which is an asinine explanation that simply doesn’t hold water, given that there were supposedly multiple ‘alternate’ theatrical versions. 🤷‍♂️

I respect the “when it’s ready” answer for Beyond the Spiderverse, but with these different versions of Across the Spiderverse apparently that rule didn’t apply to this film? Sounds to me the only reason different versions exist is b/c the team was allowed to keep tinkering after the initial deadline. None of those…
