My eyes roll every time I see the “last gen could not handle a game like this, hur durr” falacy.

I think “Yeah, we’re not ready to show it yet” is perfectly fine. Everyone understands that.

Don’t announce or show games that far ahead of time.

cherry-picking co-streamers is just another way for E3 organizers to control the narrative… 

Isn’t Roblox more of a platform within which people make games? (Some of which hew closer to “interactive experiences” than games.)

So we can expect fast mounts and high-speed carriage chases, yeah?

I can’t wait until this all flips and all the incel bashers start defending some chick getting pounded while playing the Sims on the premise of “it’s natural, we all do it”. The issue was never about some turds bashing women for showing their boobies, it was about whether the platform was appropriate for it or not.…

And some dingus comes in swinging about how Kotaku is the reason this will be taken down in three...two...one...

You miiiiiight wanna check that tweet again...

For sure; it’s a little hard to spin ‘ease of use’ as a reason to pick up a console (especially when it’s up against ‘whichever Sony exclusive franchise is your favorite’). I just think it’s funny that, what, two months after getting a Series X, my favorite thing about it is probably ‘how rarely I remember I’m playing…

It’s one of those things you're glad they did but ultimately it's not really going to sell them any more consoles. But Microsoft's strategy is about selling an ecosystem rather than hardware these days.

I feel like a lot of the Series’ improvements over last gen are like that: decidedly unsexy, but in terms of general quality of life, actually pretty impressive. Like Microsoft was working overtime to make sure you didn’t really notice the changeover in generations, which is... kind of thankless and boring in terms of…

“As always, this is a good reminder to stop pre-ordering games"

Sweeney’s right, but I hate it when people say “in a free market, this would never happen!” to complain about conditions that were created because of a free market. Monolithic corps acting as governmental entities for platforms that everyone is forced to engage with? Sounds like the inevitable result of market forces…

I see what you mean, but the official remake didn’t show off anything new either. But we all know Nintendo fans don’t need anything new, or good graphics, they will throw money at it anyway. 

Sorry, distracted by WALL OF WOE, STEAL BREATH, and LIFE OR DEATH. I see the BD series took the emo up a notch, huh.

It wasn’t as bad as all this, but Diablo 3 definitely had a turnaround after some serious backlash about the initial game that launched.

I’m honestly perplexed how you were so excited you bought a videocard, but, somehow, the streams show it to be something you have no interest in. While the AI is not good, in a number of ways, some small features (like wall running) were cut, and there are some bugs, the game on PC is almost exactly what they…

More like FFX, where it pauses for you to pick your moves, but based on speed.
