Cases like these are hard to look at subjectively because you want to believe victims when they come forward, but you also want to prevent false accusations. I am not sure in this case which is true now.. they stated he did it, lost, and now state he didn’t do it. The thing that bothers me the most about this, is once…

But they’re not doing anticompetitive things in Japan. The Xbox hasn’t failed in Japan due to shenanigans, it has failed because the Japanese market isn’t interested in it. It’s very weird to ask for an open and free market and make these allegations when...the open and free market has been saying for 20 years that…

A politician was paid to put a narrowly handpicked fact, void of contextual value, on the record?

Very simple.
They canned a planned PS5 version from a studio that they acquired.
Sony doesn’t buy a studio and then take shit from Microsoft, they acquire a studio and plan new games for their own platform.

Well, partially because Sony isn’t buying up major publishers and then making their games platform-exclusive, at least not yet.

This is the first time ever I’ve heard about “Boosteroid”.

That’s my point: Microsoft charged for MP and Sony didn’t. Microsoft made that the standard just like your assertion that $70 games are a Sony trend that Microsoft is following.

I’d argue that at this point Misty’s age is ambiguous. Sure, she was like 12 back when the anime started, but in the games (which her design on these cards are based on) time has clearly passed since then.

This is 100% the correct response. Maybe its a generational thing , but I kind of feel like someone needs to remand the internet that two guys or girls can be close without it being a sexual relationship . That “every character is automatically at least Bi” attitude around shipping is pretty insulting , especially for…

Persona, a beloved and decades old series is homophobic for not letting a straight written protagonist romance boys?

I get where you are coming from. But implying that 2 dudes being friendly with each other should be gay also diminishes that 2 dudes can also be open with each other and trust each other in a way that isn’t “toxic masculinity”. What I mean to say is they are best friends who care about each other. Atlus definitely…

Whoa whoa, this is too mature and reasonable of a take for Kotaku. Dial it down buddy!

Why is it necessary? why force it? I am a gay man I do not need every game or media to have a character that represents me, even less when is done JUST to include it without real heart or purpose. I never saw any of them as being gay, and never had the illusion of them being gay, they do not have a gay story, so why…

While I’m not a Harry Potter fan, I do enjoy gaming. This is what made me ask what the fuss is all about so I read her tweets and her essay and I didn’t take it as she’s transphobic. She didn’t come across as being afraid or have hate for the trans community. I see that she did have concerns as a biological woman,…

I mean I get what you’re saying, but the large majority of reviews are saying it’s far from “very bog standard” lol.

It’s an amazingly deep and fun game. My 9 year old and 15 year old daughters are having a blast exploring. Even my 43 year old wife, who doesn’t play games at all, loves going around and collecting things, opening up the map, etc. The long and short is, it’s probably one of the best, biggest, most fun, and most…

Dude, he just wrote the article, don’t shoot the messenger.

I am going to buy this game on a release and then just eagerly wait for the emulator community to get it running on PC. I love Breath of the Wild but after playing it emulated on my game PC at 1440 with a stable 72 FPS, I could not go back to playing it on the Switch.

The game is going to look amazing.....for a slide show

The bar is so low for Nintendo
