I mean...if you want to take Elden Ring as an example, Sprit Ashes, Player summons, Magic in general, Torrent in general for some overworld bosses, several unique weapons ie: Blasphemous Blade, Moonveil etc. So yeah, alot of options just not in a neat menu for you

You are right the only preference that really matters during development is that of the artistic team behind it. Many developers will court the opinion of players on a games difficulty during beta testing, or after release, and modify things based on that. Some will not. A great example I saw was from the developer of…

you are, to be clear, a fucking worm

How does it feel to be such a giant tool that on a post where people are grieving their friend’s death you couldn’t help but push your own anti-Kotaku agenda? Jezuz. 

you’re a massive fucking prick. take one fucking second and think about how Mike would feel about your words ... hint: not positively

JFC can you not give it a fucking rest for one FRACTION of a second.

They should scrap all the rest of them while they’re at it.

I scrolled through this and my main takeaway was that we should all strive to live a life that will be remembered so fondly by so many. 

I think one of the greatest compliments I could give to a reporter is that I often found myself reading articles on topics I wasn’t actually interested in, only because I saw his name attached to them.

He always gave a perspective that was interesting, even if I didn’t care about what he was writing about. He made me…

Here’s your article, people. I wonder why it took so long? Look at all these tributes. RIP, Mike.

Absolutely the best Kotaku employed. Heavy heart this weekend.

We’re 5 days away from the 20th anniversary of Battlefield 1942. 20 years of Battlefield and they still can’t seem to get it quite right.

I genuinely have no idea which one is which. And it was for you.

You dodged several bullets. Apparently, the guy started removing gladiator classes that were part of the base game so he could turn them into paid DLC. I only found out after taking a look at a Reddit thread about this news. Dude is predatory scum, through and through.

I won’t lie, Mafia III’s stealth mechanics are hilariously broken in your favor. But that and it’s less linear/more open world is part of its appeal. You can take down your enemies however you like, but there’s nothing like choking out a platoon of redneck goons before luring the next one wondering where all the…

There are also enough gladiator management games that the first time this dipshit showed up for this kind of thing, I had to check THREE I own to make sure none of them were his.

Bought the game years ago before I knew the dev was a garbage person. Played it for a couple of hours and never went back to it. Nothing of value was lost from this game being de-platformed.

“Everything is awful, all the time... is one hell of a take to see as support of fascism.”
