I'm still kind of not convinced. I mostly play JRPGs and some semi-related Japanese games like Deadly Premonition or Okami with an occasional Western open-world game in between(Assassins' Creed, Just Cause etc). I like me some Nintendo goodness as much as the other guy, but I get enough of it on 3DS - and almost…

So working out just for the looks is basically useless. You won't have a six-pack when sitting in front of PC unless you have an unpractically low body fat % anyway. I have 14% myself which I consider pretty good and I just checked under my shirt - there's a round belly down there unless I stand up. And when you…

I'm not sure how retail can still be so big. People are well aware of digital software purchases thanks to smartphones. Also majority of people don't care about actually owning a game rather having some sort of indefinite rent. How come videogame retail hasn't yet shrinked to collectors' items outlet is beyond me.

Assassin's creed has had some Playstation exclusive missions for a while. 2 or 3 entries at least. Is there any evidence that it was somehow beneficial for Sony? I have some doubts. PS3 is my primary gaming platform and I didn't play these missions ever. Despite being a big AC fan prior to III.

Being a kid in the 90s I felt like gameboy was somewhat crappy compared to Sega Megadrive or, later, Playstation. Hell, probably even NES - Battletoads had color graphics and multiplayer. Some games were fun, but it lacked deeper genres like RPGs or strategy. Later I learned that there, in fact, were some of those,…

They do when you run them iside a designated virtual machine. That's how I view almost every website where I do not need to log in. If anyone would have told me about this only a couple of years ago, I would lough my ass off this paranoid.

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…
