That would have me instantly running to the shop to get a Wii U, and I'm probably not the only one like that. Heeeey Ninty, hear me, that would be a smart move!

They aren't really all thet similar other than having Eastern setting, and even that is different - Hong Kong and Tokio can only look somewhat alike if you add a Western city to comparison. Sleeping Dogs is a GTA-style game with some focus on brawling. Yakuza is a bona fide JRPG in somewhat realistic modern-day…

Great, another Yakuza I won't be able to play because some fucking assholes in Sega can't be even bothered to put English subtitles in the game thus allowing fans to import, leave alone releasing in the West.

Not caring about Ishin until proper numbered 5 comes out to the west.

Speedruns are not the way games are meant to be played anyway. Actually, the more they differ from the normal gameplay, the more impressive they are. Getting through a 40 hour game in 15 hours? That happens all the time, there are lots of people who have already finished a new RPG like Dragon Age the first day it's…

At least it's mentioned as a disappointment. Titanfall, now that's a thing that was hyped to death and just came and went.

What. TES online is out? Seeing that I haven't even heard about its release, it must have been a massive, but quiet, disaster.

That's because you Americans had Ys Celceta last year. For me, it's a tie between the two.

I'm somewhat behind the schedule on gaming because I got into marathon running, aiming to qualyfy for Boston 2016. It takes a lot of time. So far I played 5 games in 2014 and neither of them disappointed me:

I don't think that guess is totally wrong though. Using a number may not be the best idea as it implies some sort of precision. But I find it rather hard to argue with a statement like 'majority of Kotaku readers doesn't have kids, but there are quite a lot of parents here, too' - which would be more or less the same,…

It's quite unlike Lent and other Christian fasts in a different aspect though. Cult of saints and fasts are a later introduction. One can argue they are in fact a corruption of the faith - as many Protestants do. Ramadan has been an integral part of Muslim belief from the start.

What's wrong with that? Not everyone likes Zelda.

Are you positively sure about this? Telltale games used to be story-based point-and-click adventures with easy puzzles(Sam & Max episodes), there wasn't anything aggravating and medic gameplay described in the review looks pretty annoying. Newer Telltale games skip point-and-click almost completely in favor of…

I think this is one of those things that appeal so much to gaming journalists and people who play games too much. They get bored with everything too soon and need something to spice up their experience. This is how one almost perfect historical tourism game series suddenly made hunting and naval battles its main…

What about 'buy more stuff to have a chance of getting some stuff free' is awesome? I may be missing something, but this looks like a gamerscore/trophy leaderboard competition with less(if any) actual gaming and some pay-to-win elements.

I haven't switched and don't even plan to do it this year. So it's 'next' for me personally. Second, I am pretty sure I'm in majority. It's rather simple I guess.

She started her Kotaku career by trying every old and tired controversy imaginable. It was kind of annoying and got her some bad rep. She doesn't do that anymore it would seem

Judging by the amount of typos and same pic used twice in different context, your late hours did not end with E3 ;)

I played neither of them(I'm not really into mobile/casual gaming) so your explanation is kind of lost on me. It's just that I've seen numerous facebook and twitter posts about 2048 and every other person on the subway plays it, too, just like they played Angry Birds a couple of years ago. Kotaku, on the other hand,…
