Playing the beta. Can safely say this thing would be worth every penny. But you’re basically paying for an auto-grinder.

I’m really scared about Zelda WiiU. I’ve been playing Witcher 3 all weekend, and I know it’s apples to oranges, but is Nintendo going to bother matching this kind of scale and atmosphere? Or are they going to get bogged down in more weird minutiae and gimmicks again? ALBW gave me GREAT hope, but I’m still very…

DQVII for 3DS is not a port, it’s a total remake/reimagining.

I made a clarification above when I suggested they could just swap some assets out and eventually it becomes a different thing. There’s a fine line between homage and rip-off, but that’s just it... there’s a LINE. What I mean by “make your own shit” is don’t cross that line. And if you feel like you gotta cross that…

I’m saying don’t let that dishearten you though. Think of like Shovel Knight or Undertale. Those are clearly just Mega Man and Earthbound reborn. They play on our nostalgia but they’re also entirely new. It seems like these guys are going to take what they learned from the experience and make their own thing, and…

Sure, but this isn’t a nebulous discussion about “What is truly original.” I’m saying you could straight up take that 3D Zelda remake, change the art direction and music and it would LEGALLY be “your own shit.”

Wasn’t intended to be angry, my use of the word “shit” was supposed to be casual. If anything, I’d think the guy telling the company protecting their intellectual property to eat a bag of dicks (of any size) is pretty angry, which is why I offered a solution.

Make your own shit. I’ll never understand the need for people to endlessly find ways to justify working very hard on someone else’s property. MAKE. YOUR. OWN. SHIT.

It’s awesome that someone is finally taking the time to completely define Wakandan culture and technology. It’s always just been taken as wrote. Prime beads, Mythical spears, hologram nonsense! It’s all so exciting.

Forever and ever, amen.

Welp, Kotaku found out... Guess it’s over, folks. Pack it up.

Can’t wait to mess up that pretty... pretty face.

What?

Xenoblade X is not “pretty good.” It’s a goddamn masterpiece. More coverage of this and less of just about everything else.
