I wonder if there is an opportunity for a business that actually provides this service. A bunch of consoles, two people to watch the kids and you can buy the games after.

Easier to lower prices than get inventory back from scalpers

The diner mission in the video looked to me like it could have been multiplayer.

I saw that there was a trailer, but that interrupts the reading flow much more and it’s less pleasant on mobile as well. But more even the weekly pay about new game releases is a video, so I should hear what Kotaku is trying to tell me and just go directly to YouTube instead of reading Kotaku.

Do I see it correctly that the entire article doesn’t have a single screenshot of the game it’s about? Can I please get Kotaku from 5-8 years ago back?

Same. I had expected that the future of the franchise would be less story and more sandbox. Yet the franchise moved in the opposite direction.

That makes sense. Also making any concessions to a multilayer mode or selling additional card decks makes me not want the game in the first place. It didn’t even occur to me that someone night want to add a fucking multiplayer mode to Gwent, especially in a rogue-like.

I came here to say the same thing. Gwent itself was perfect. What I understand they need to change is the card acquisition and a rogue-like seemed perfect for this. It’s so frustrating when something seems obvious but then it doesn’t happen.

Some of them go up in price a lot. The Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition seems to go for well over $200 on eBay. I see some listings got $800!

I definitely agree that it feels bad and isn’t fun every time he stops. Given there were some really fun levels though, I wonder if they cannot fully lean into that. Nights had this mechanism to chain collecting points which made for this very smooth and fast experience when you were good. I wonder if a similar…

Sonic Adventure had some levels that were an absolute blast. I'm thinking of the first level that was on some beach, the something something speedway, the San Francisco level in 2. Every time it gets slow though, the game becomes less fun

What fish?

So what about the next part of the Final Fantasy VII Remake

Shadow of Doubt with it's neo noire setting and generated cases kinda reminds me of the Blade Runner game

My wife and I had a great time playing the first Borderlands, but 2 never clicked. We always were out of ammo and rarely could use our favorite guns because of this. Maybe we picked the wrong classes, but it shouldn't be possible to pick classes that break the game.

Super weird that the visual style of this is discussed here without ever mentioning Persona 5.

I really want the opposite of this. A game with all the side games, especially hostess club competition or the real estate game, but a much shorter main story.

“I suspect the truth is he hits a conference call every few hours”

I’ll never understand how they got away with the “Anno: “ prefix. It’s the name of another, big, well-established franchise. What’s next “Final Fantasy: Mutationem”?

Stupid names seem to be largely limited to US sports teams. European soccer clubs usually have the blandest possible names. Typically it’s just the local equivalent for “soccer club” with the city name.
