Forgetting the fact they are artificial life forms... Her sister Elphelt is white as a sheet. And all the Valentine’s were biological copies of Aria Hale, who is also white. But hey, whatever I guess.

I don’t listen to her bc every time I’ve heard one of her songs, she sounds like a 19 year old Lana del Rey, talking instead of singing. Nope. Nope. Nope.

This. Beard Ryu should honestly be default Ryu.

I dunno. He kinda looks like a Streets of Rage extra to me in that getup, and he’s not at cool as 2015's more rugged and unapologetically manly Ryu:

I think a deeper cut would’ve been Billy, Citan or Fei from Xenogears. Or even Kos-Mos from Xenosaga. But that’s just reaching too far back. But it’s cool. Just remake Xenogears for me and I’ll call it fair.

I agree, she should have 14 belts, a bag strapped to both her legs, green spiky hair and no personality.

It’s interesting! We know a ton of third-party games are coming to PS5—including some that are cross-gen and currently playable, like NBA 2K21—but many publishers still haven’t confirmed that day-one availability. I imagine this will clear up in the coming days and weeks.

How’s her belt stay on?

Nuggets of kosher salt? Kosher salt is flaked 

I kind of like the idea that Jin is actually just bad at Haiku...

...and I’m just gonna sit here and watch you explain how a noose is more offensive then that gun he’s holding. Take your time.

Kotaku is the National Enquirer of game journalism so I’d expect no less.

So the whole “Joel gets killed by a t—-ny” thing on Twitter I kept seeing was true, then? And then that same murderer is gonna end up killing the OTHER person we played as in the first Last of Us?

I assume you saw SkillUp’s review on YouTube? Great, critical review. The comparisons to G0T season 8 and the new Star Wars trilogy were big red flags that helped convince me to cancel that pre-order.

I cancelled my pre-order after I read the Kotaku and Polygon reviews. They confirmed for me that the leaks were true (which was already obvious of course) and that “context” was only going to make the over the top brutality even more pointless. Thank you guys for actually taking a critical look at the game.

So...you folks knew the spoilers were true?! Wow, this game is going to be the videogame equivalent of The Last Jedi. I hope subverting those expectations were worth it for Naughty Dog lol. I hope keeping this under wraps and turning a blind eye to the DMCA abuses to keep your access was worth it to you guys lol. What…

This comment is gonna be trashed to hell, perhaps deservedly so, but I’d really like it if we could get to a point where you can just be an asshole and everyone universally acknowledges that you’re an asshole and treats you as such, but that didn’t have to mean you’d basically have to lose your career over it. I don’t…

This.

Fuck this headline. I love it.
