I think I totally mentally blocked out that Zeboyd Games made Cosmic Star Heroine - I’m definitely going to have to get that for Switch. I loved Breath of Death and Cthulhu Saves the World. I also emailed them once for advice on making games (something I’m still, in theory????, trying to do) and the main dev from…

Poor guy is floundering....this is like the #1 reason I don’t ever want to be famous. We all have the knee jerk reaction to defend ourselves even when we know we’re wrong....but he’s doing it in front of thousands (or millions) of people. He’s just digging himself deeper and deeper into a pit of shame.

Yes, it is. Do you have any concept of how much violent crime happens in the world? How many millions of of physical and sexual assaults never get processed in court in the US and around the world? How much massive multi-million dollar corruption happens throughout the country that leaves people homeless, jobless,…

I was a bit confused about the official songs...do they not need copyright for that? Also i’d much rather play it on my TV than my PC which would require a whole other hookup rather than just buying the game.

I didn’t miss anything. People shouldn’t go to jail for such a small crime.

“There’s an underlying “war is bad” tone to Pandaria that doesn’t quite feel right in a game called Warcraft.”

great video! i absolutely DESPISE that tv show. How anyone watches that absolutely horrific trash is unbelievable.

White culture is inherently racist, Black culture is a product of that racism and they should celebrate it because they have survived genocide and contribute incredible things to society in spite of all the violence they face.

Now, if you wanted to do an Irish con, or Italian con, or British con etc. that’s totally…

I miss the DDR/Guitar Hero age....those game were just pure endless fun. It was definitely one of the funnest periods of gaming in my life. I’d kill for those type of games to make a comeback. In fact I’d buy Guitar Hero on my Switch right now if they released it somehow.

Goddamn...I know it’s the maximum but 5 years for hacking a video game? That’s fucking barbaric. It’s unbelievable how corrupt and random our court system is. A landlord can steal someone’s security deposit and the police, by law, do not investigate it, but someone can steal some fake video nonsense and get years in…

I still think of Doom in terms of Doom 1 and 2 and every time I see a Doom that looks like this I get confused for a second and then I remember....it’s not the 90s any more.

Is Metroidvania only 2D? Like....isn’t Metroid Prime a Metroidvania...? I like genres not because they box games in but because they’re descriptive. I think most games all fall into more than one genre, and often the best games are multi-genre. Like I’d consider Slime Rancher a bit of Metroidvania, a bit of a farming…

I’m....just so over Diablo. It offers nothing new from it’s base game from 20 years ago. I played D1 and D2 A LOTTTTTTT back in the day....I don’t understand how people can still play these repetitive hack and slash games with all the new game content we have. I played D3 for a short while and immediately got bored,…

I love rhythm games so much....I’ve never played one I didn’t hugely enjoy

How dare you bring up the NY Times in an article about a video game company without mentioning the TV series Eureka - Eureka was a fun and relaxing show that never got the credit it deserved and it’s because of people like YOU not discussing it here, in this comments section, for a totally unrelated topic, that it…

I read and absolutely loved this article. It’s on par with any other in-depth piece of journalism I’ve read on any major news site - thanks to Cecilia for writing it and I would ask that Kotaku continue to promote these kinds of articles. I know there have been others and this isn’t the first, but I (and I think many…

When the Switch was first revealed to be portable my immediate thought was “PLEASE MAKE IT DS-COMPATIBLE” and I knew this was a long shot because $$$$ rules everything. Any logic they use besides “we want people to buy both so we get more money” is just corporate bullshit. But the more I’ve thought about it the more I…

yep same thing has happened to me - the Switch’s portability makes it *the best* system to get indie games on (including PC). There’s also been some great sale the last couple weeks and I’ve picked up about 10 games, all for 40% off besides the dead cells 20% of pre-release sale. The Switch’s portability…

oh sorry! is that not apparent from the beginning of the game? you run into the dream world pretty quickly and it explains it from the start....i didn’t think that is a spoiler. I’ll mark it now...once i figure out how heh.

You just changed my opinion on trying the path of pain...I’ll have to give it a shot. I didn’t realize those were checkpoints AND they were infinite soul for healing, that makes it much more manageable.
