I worked at CitiField for two seasons like 10 years ago. I was the only person who knew how to clean the ice cream machine, so I had to do it every night. It taught me a good lesson: don’t be the guy at work who knows how to do things, because there’s no benefit to you. 

They already reported on that.  This is an opinion piece.  

As they note in the video, this is something Sony have struggled with for years; I had two PS3 consoles overheat, and myPS4's heat + fan noise problems got so bad towards the end that I simply stopped playing the thing

I mean, I do think it’s possible for creators to lose track of the original themes and strengths of their work. Ray Bradbury has changed his story of what Fahrenheit 451 is about multiple times, for example, and we’ve seen sequels torpedo overarching concepts despite being by the original creator countless times…

So a couple of really rich dudes buy an games appraisal website, and immediately shut it down. One of them starts his own appraisal website, and another starts a games auction website. They spend a couple years at flea markets and game conventions, buying games valued anywhere between a couple hundred and a couple…

I 100% believe those big game auctions last year were money laundering schemes or price fixing. Game collecting is getting expensive, but there's no precedent for a $2 million dollar NES game, no matter the condition.

Morrowind Rebirth is the labor of someone who very clearly does NOT agree with the modern state of Bethesda games, and has thus spent thousands of hours trying to modernize one from 2003. Bethesda probably couldn’t hire him if they tried.

Once more, for those appologists, I shall link this essay of basically “what went wrong”

I’m guessing the difference in cost between what they’ll spend for the ‘22 and how much they can make off the ‘21 is less than they would have spent in nation-wide advertising which is essentially what this is now.

It’s just a willful misrepresentation of Socialism to imply that it’s mandated poverty for everyone. It’s a VERY FOX NEWS slant. As long as you’re actually contributing according to your income, then guess what? You’re still participating in socialism! Ta daaaaaa.... But firm grasps on issues and calm understanding…

Here’s hoping they self-destruct over it, like what happened with Tumblr (Tumblr booted their NSFW content, then collapsed in valuation and user numbers and got sold for less than $3 million). 

A year later, it said it hit $2.4 billion of revenue, thanks in large part to the 20 percent cut it took from the money all that porn was generating.

Respectfully, I don’t see where I speak as if “the game’s mediocrity was the accepted consensus.” I am speaking about my experience. The “in my opinion” is implied throughout in any impressions piece or review. Though FWIW I also wasn’t a total outlier on GoT, there were others who also thought it was just okay. And…

You’re kind of lost in it at this point so I don’t know how to express to you how insane it is to expect a writer writing about their experiences with a work of art to survey metacritic and express the exact level of enthusiasm as you would expect from an arbitrary metacritic score rather than how they felt about…

I thought the story was cool but man...you invade one bandit camp/do a fox shrine, you’ve done them all. Platinuming the game was a headache and a half.

I mean...it kind of was Just Fine. Besides the Japanese Aesthetic, it was just Another Open World Game. Same old Bandit camps/outposts we’re used to from every other open world game. Same rando side/fetch quests, same ‘check out this wierd symbol on the map, what could it be!?” formula we’re accustomed to.

I got around to playing Ghost last month, after (finally!) beating Breath of the Wild. And while I’m compelled enough by this game, I see the criticism. For all its beauty and aesthetic ambition, everything sure boils down to going somewhere and stabbing a bunch of dudes. Practically every mission, whether it’s…

Yeah I’m one of those who thought Ghosts was incredibly mediocre.

Don’t work at Kotaku, guy, and the Ghost stans are the ones flipping a lid over someone who thinks it’s only a decent game and not God’s gift to gamers. I’m just noting that the only way “Ghost isn’t universally beloved” should be a surprise to you after the many people who’ve written about just that is if you’re…

I said this in a different article about Death Stranding, but this naming scheme just feels like Sony chasing film prestige. The term has a meaning that just doesn't apply to this game or Death Stranding.
