Maybe in a dream sequence?

For me the Uncharted series is the biggest offender in terms of jarring contrast between cutscenes and gameplay. I still love the series, but I have to use some serious mental gymnastics to justify caring about a character that murders thousands of people over the course of a game. I have to essentially pretend the…

The developers got paid for their work. This isn’t some small indie developer’s artistic vision, it’s a goddamn remake of one of the bestselling games of all-time. It exists purely to make money for Blizzard/Activision’s shareholders, that is it. There are literally thousands of games from small teams that actually…

As someone who owns all the MCU films on Blu-ray, I agree with Denis Villeneuve. The thing is, I love the MCU formula. I also love Villeneuve’s films, and I cannot wait for Dune. 

30,000 views so far. Now it’s on Kotaku, so it will show up in news feeds, leading to more clicks, and more articles, and more views.

My thoughts exactly. Everything in that house is a pile of destroyed garbage that looks like it went through a nuclear apocalypse, but somehow all the games survived unscathed in random piles of junk. The guy was a hoarder that obviously didn’t take care of his stuff, but for some reason he kept his games factory…

Did they seriously split this into 36 separate slides?

I remember when I first played SMB, leaning right on the couch, and flicking the controller up every time I needed to jump, as if the physical motion would give Mario some extra speed/height. I remember other people doing it as well. I’d played games a lot before on the Atari 2600, without moving my body, so I assume…

Ideally you would want unions or government legislation to prevent abusive working conditions, but we’re in the throes of late-stage capitalism here, so although my individual actions will most likely make zero difference in the long run, at least I can sleep better knowing I didn’t give one cent of my money to…

All I can do is make sure I buy the games from these good developers, and skip the releases from the awful companies.

I mean, with all due respect to the employees and the people who enjoyed their games, but fuck them? This especially sucks, first and foremost, for the women of Texas, and maybe the rest of that country. Sure it’s kind of sad, that now I won’t ever play a game about a shark, but in the grand scheme of things, that’s…

Congratulations. I’m looking forward to your articles.

Are these the same companies that put their games on sale in the Nintendo eShop for a few cents so that they rocket to the top of the sales charts, then raising the price back up, and fooling unsuspecting customers into thinking they are good games?

I loved the Stephen King meets Twin Peaks vibe of the game. I was a little bit let down by the gameplay, but I still finished it because of the story. I can’t wait to see what this will look like ray traced on an RTX 3080.

Yes, you are correct sir, a bad tweet is exactly the same thing as a unwanted pregnancy. Well done, you’ve outwitted us all. The logic of your argument is unassailable.

I was going to force myself through the slideshow, because the topic sounded interesting, and I was pleasantly surprised by both the lack of slideshow and the article contents.

So from a moral standpoint, it’s okay to steal, as long as you’re not a corporation? Morally, ethically and legally, the person should have asked for permission before trying to sell something they don’t own. For example, this Kickstarter (which I backed) had some designs with Mario Kart characters on them, which…

Consumer refers to the person buying something.

When thousands of good indie game developers are vying for my gamer dollars, shitty opinions like these help me pare down the list of possibilities to something more manageable. It has been probably said already, but I wish more of these scumbags would speak out, it would make choosing games on Steam a whole lot…

You cannot make money from someone else’s intellectual property without their permission. Whether it’s a huge company or a self-published artist. I would expect that if someone decided to publish their own Batman comic via Kickstarter, for example, they’d get similarly shut down. It’s really not that difficult of a…
