“Announced alongside Metal Gear Solid 3 Delta”

Pretty sure it was Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. You’re committed to getting this games name wrong aren’t you? Kinda hoping your next article turns it into Metal Delta Solid Gear: 3 Snake Eaters.

Anyway, this seems more or less like the HD Master Collection sans…

Bubbulfrogs, creatures that drop Bubbel Gems after taking a single hit.

The headline is a spoiler of sorts. Some people enjoy discovering things like this. I can’t stand these recent Zelda games, but I know when I play a metroidvania (for instance) I enjoy the surprises of finding a new item that makes it easier (or possible) to do something new.

If you’re gay and/or a fan of socially conscious narrative games, you’ve probably at least heard of Night in the Woods.

Kill it with (ice and) fire.

Wonder if the game ends the same way GoT did...

“Note: this does damage to your shield.”

“Everyone,” huh? That’s not even true of the replies to just this article.

....what the hell do trans people have to do with anything in your argument?

Just let people play the damn game. We don’t need 2 articles a day telling them how to get certain things just let them play. Also change your fucking headlines instead of instantly spoiling the end rewards of a quest people probably havnt finished yet

The whoop reminded me when I beat Radahn in Elden Ring at 2 am and got so excited I yelled out “Yes!” so loud I woke up my youngest son.  My wife teases me about it to this day

Well, I believe your take is completely unfounded, but that second paragraph does make it clear how views like that could possibly be formed. As the other user said, even the most charitable interpretation of your post does not make it come off well.

I was with you until you called Arkane a B+ studio. Dishonored 1&2 and Prey are all fantastic games. They’re immersive sims which makes them a bit niche but they’re great immersive sims. Even if you put that aside, Arkane’s level designers are easily top tier.

Star Citizen backers: “First time?”

I wish you were less pompous and standoffish, because you otherwise make some thoughtful points.

What do you mean when you say their games are anachronistic? Do you believe immersive sims are anachronisti, or do you refer to something else?

“Nintendo’s own Famitsu”

5 seconds on google is all it would have taken here.

It’s because they're incredibly petty and are doing it in retaliation to being previously blacklisted.

yeah wow, wonder why they’re blacklisted

Not sure why Kotaku thought reporting on the content of leaked game that will be officially released within two weeks was a good idea, but it shouldn’t be too surprising why Nintendo will keep blacklisting you from future events.
