Persona 5 and Royal. I think I’ve sunked about 800 hours in the game, and replayed each version at least 3 times. I know all of the story beats, and Platinum Trophied both copies, but the aesthics, characters, music, and gameplay keeps me coming back for more. I wish the game had true DLC support, but at least I have…

Once again, I believe Microsoft’s failure to communicate is ultimately the downfall for trying to increase the price for Xbox Live Gold. We all know it was an obvious push to get people to sign up for Gamepass Ultimate instead. Offering no justification for the price increase was simply foolish, and coming at the…

I would also go so far to say that if CDPR was actually looking out for the best interest in the consumer, they should’ve delayed or canceled the last gen console versions and released the game only on PC, Series X, and PS5. Because, how could they possibly not know that the current gen console versions were subpar…

The Smash community wants to be Esports like DOTA, Starcraft, League of Legends, etc...The problem with that is that the developers/publishers of those games are the infrastructure of their Esports communities for their respective games. They all control what events receive huge prize money, news coverage,…

That wasn’t meant to be a question mark. It’s a statement of another issue at hand that players are already paying a lot in order to participate in these events. Adding more fees to the players for something that’s intangible might not be the best solution. Having a committee to enforce policies and code of conduct is…

That's the problem? Who would be willing to pay for this? The community itself is already fed up with increase amount of venue fees just to be able to spectate at a tournament. Now you're asking for them to come out of pocket in order to prevent someone from showing up at a tournament? Good luck with that. 

I cannot believe that this is an actual thing. I mean, good on them for creating an infrastructure for code of conduct, but how do they actually enforce it? Does someone get paid to make sure that whoever was banned from a tournament doesn’t actually show up? Because I can see how quickly this all falls apart when one…

When IGN gave Pokemon Sword/Shield a 9.3/10, that’s when we crossed the Despair Event Horizon.

This is false. If I showed you gameplay footage of King of Fighters XIII and King of Fighters XIV without knowing which is which, you would automatically assume that XIII was the latest game of the franchise due to how polished and beautiful the animation is. Both games play similar, but when XIV was revealed, a…

I’ve been preaching this day 1. I’ve learned my lesson of buying a console at launch with the PS3. Could’ve easily have waited instead of paying $600 to play Resistance and Sonic 06. *Shudder*

I mean, Nightcrawler was in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, but people forget about that game because it’s only on the Switch. Completely understandable.

I felt the same way when I first caught it. Your body just feels miserable. Even the slightest bit of effort to entertain yourself like grabbing a controller felt like you ran a mile. I just ended up sleeping for the 1st three days. Afterwards, I started to improve to the point I was able to think. Now, I've been…

Yeah. It feels like this person never left his house, because there’s a Walmart I can see right from my bedroom window. Now, if they had mentioned K-Mart being nonexistent, then I would consider them to be a normal human being.

Speaking of which. All of these stories that are coming out on Kotaku right now about each writer’s personal experience with their launch consoles is teaching me one thing. Patience. Ever since I purchased a PS3 at launch, I learned to never make the same mistake again. At this time of age, companies are quick to…

So is Kotaku going to trash all previous gen consoles this week?

I wouldn’t say that the Wii U was a “bad” console. The execution was done poorly. The Switch is what the Wii U wanted to be, except it wanted your eyes on two different screens instead of one which is difficult to do.

I agree with your point on Nintendo’s ability to survive on its first party titles, as there’s no comparison. However, I will argue that Sony has come close to replicating that ability itself which is why I preferred Playstation over to Xbox for my gaming experience. For example, just take a look at the potential…

I would argue that what has helped Nintendo more than anything is that the Switch, like the Gameboy and Nintendo DS before it, is a complimentary console. It’s a console that anyone is willing to buy in conjunction with a Playstation or an Xbox due to how much different and unique it is. Nintendo stopped trying to…

If you don’t like Rivers in the Desert, then you do not have a soul.
