Has something happened in the last 8 years to warrant necroing an old article? Just trying to figure out why something from 2015 is showing up as a headline.

I would have thought they were just making that much money off of preowned sales, but given game publishers are trying to move away from physical media (presumably to make sure all sales go to them, despite whatever they might say) and more people don’t see much point in putting up with Gamestop for what equates to…

I doubt that Microsoft would deliberately ship a shit version of a game on Sony’s consoles just to spite them. I could believe them focusing on the Xbox version as far as enhancements and bug fixes, but I don’t see them commissioning a separate build of a game just to spite Sony.

You do realize that something can be considered hateful or project a stereotypical negative light on something without outright stating it, right? You don’t have to feature Nazi imagery or mention Jewish people by name to be anti-Semitic.

I find it annoying that Dunkin brought in some celebrities to cosplay as employees for a fun promotion, wrecking the day for a bunch of people just trying to get to work and basically turning the plight of a Dunkin employee into a joke. That it was Affleck’s idea and not Dunkin doesn’t really matter.

This version also has less music than the original. It is odd that the definitive edition has less content than the original release.

Sony is far from innocent in anti-consumer practices when it comes to cornering exclusives, be them timed or otherwise. That being said, there’s a difference between securing some exclusive content or the occasional 3rd party exclusive title and buying up half of the 3rd party studios in the industry.

“Every few years we review our agreements with them,” he wrote to employees. “We have been working through this process in good faith to extend our existing agreements. However, their approach was not aligned with our commitment to players, employees, and our operating principles.”

He’s going to end up completely tanking the company pursuing the VR world, isn’t he? People are never going to fully embrace a VR lifestyle until we can either provide something akin to Star Trek’s holodeck or something like dotHack/Sword Art Online where its like you are actually in the virtual space (minus the whole…

This reads more as a “10 male characters from popular anime” list rather than what its advertised as. Missed chance to introduce more people to the less mainstream stuff out there.

I didn’t even know G4 was back until a month ago when they laid everyone off.

Only heard of this in the comment section. Has Kotaku said anything about his passing?

And like every game that dabbles in microtransactions, they’ll acknowledge that they won’t make everyone happy with the decision, but there will be a frustratingly large group of fans who will thank them for it.

The comment wasn’t about “writing songs generally” but explicitly about a white song writer writing specifically for a black artist.

I was unaware that this was an option. Thanks!

Modern Valve game? Is there such a thing?

That was back when they were in competition with WCW, so things that caught on with the crowd were allowed to flourish. Once they became the only game in town, you had a combination of Triple H and Vince burying anyone they didn’t think were “it” despite massive fan approval. So, when the big names started retiring,…

Overhauling the businesses to offer more ways to earn money and removing the need to slum it in public lobbies feels like a move intended to close the book on this chapter of GTA:O. If they make the early heists playable with less than 4 players, then they really will have removed the annoyance of playing GTA with a…

I wonder how many career wrestlers got cut to pay for this?

I can’t really think of anything apart from anime that would really cater to this type of game. Yu-Gi-Oh would work well in this format, where you walk around and duel other players. Have characters from the show pop up randomly that you can duel to unlock shit.
