The video of the gameplay looks like ass.

I honestly don’t see how this is weird. If you want weird, look at Kojima’s obsession with putting as many celebrity faces in this games as possible. That is weird. Ian McShane narrating the DD2 trailer is just good marketing.

Well that was an excellent trailer / recap.

Writing “world of Baldurs Gate 3" instead of “Forgotten Realms” such disgusting journalistic ethics!

Zero point in mentioning BG3 in this article as it has nothing to do with it.

I guess mentioning BG3 in the title gets more clicks than “set in the Forgotten Realms,” huh? It has nothing to do with BG3 and it’s disingenuous to claim it does.

Hi Zack! You can’t just pass a game of mad libs as an article. 

Shut the fuck up! We don’t need to give them any bad ideas.

Headlines have gotten very “How do you do, fellow kids?” in the past few years, but I don’t know if zoomers even read Kotaku.

Hogwarts Legacy’s success isn’t standard for WB Games. Their previous game, Gotham Knights, was a flop. Mad Max was a flop. Shadow of War sold below expectations.

Oh good, so not only did they learn the opposite of what Suicide Squad’s failure should have taught them, they’ve also decided to only milk four franchises from now on.

That’s it. It finally happened. After over fifteen years of coming to read random articles: this is the era that finally gets me to move on. The absolute rampant spoilers in titles is out of control and barely warrants a read over Reddit posts I see days prior. It’s just not worth it anymore.

Good because despite this site putting up an article, then updating and bumping that article up, graphics mode is awful and I just can’t do it.Yes, it’s clearer and higher resolution, but it looks choppy, and awful, and it’s an easy pass for me.

I’m always wary of games that are trying to echo other games. Stuff like that Crazy Taxi ripoff, Yooka-Laylee, Shenmue 3, Mighty No. 9, Reckless Racing (I think it’s called). They very rarely turn out to have the personality and charm that made the original games so good. Even the main Bloodstained game, as good as it…

This reminds me more of Vigilante 8 than anything, the maps especially & that was one of my favorite PS1 games. I would actually consider picking up a Steam Deck for this if it ends up being any good.

Bummer to read you need to play the demo to get some of the bonuses. I was intentionally avoiding the demo entirely to not spoil anything from the full game at all and go into it fresh.. But if I don’t play the demo first, I miss out on items?

Helldivers is good despite it’s live-service model, not because of it. In fact, it could be better without the season pass shenanigans

It’s not terrible. It’s just not great either

“never meant to be this long”?
I spent about countless hours in the original FF, doing all kinds of quests, grinding to lvl 99 before the final confrontation, trying to get every Materia possible, golden Chocobo breeding... the list was endless.
How can a remake be “too long”?
I mean - it is FF7, most people who buy…

I know this was done by different writers but maybe some editorial direction would help this site maintain some kind of tonal consistency and credibility?
