He put “apolitical” in quotes because it’s obviously a political game, but the developers had to pretend it wasn’t to not piss off the conservatives that think Arts and Entertainment shouldn’t be political (when it always has been)

Kotaku has always had good writing like this. The problem is the people complaining about Kotaku never actually read Kotaku outside of the social justice pieces they hate so much because that’s all that ever gets linked in places like /r/KotakuInAction, so that’s all they ever see.

Legends of Runeterra would like a word with you

What in the hell does that even mean. By that logic, almost all of the spinoffs - Snap, Mystery Dungeon, Pokken, Rumble, Conquest, Detective Pikachu - shouldn’t exist either because they don’t capture whatever arbitrary “spirit” you just made up. Not everything has to fit those core concepts you listed to still be a…

When Chris was shown to be working for the new Umbrella Corp I had a pretty funny crack theory that it’s been too long since Capcom went full on Hollywood-crazy, and the big reveal will be that Albert Wesker somehow lives on inside Chris’ mind and is slowly taking control of him a la Liquid Ocelot. He’s too good a…

New map seems based on the training mode area that teaches you how to plant the spike.

Wait where’d the info that it’s made by the same person come from? Luftrausers was made by Vlambeer, and afaik neither of the two people mentioned worked on the game.

Tell that to people trying to play the Scott Pilgrim vs the World game. Digital only release, contracts expired, game got delisted and it’s impossible to download and play now. People were selling Xbox 360s with the game installed for $500+ and even those are impossible to find now.

There’s video of people getting 99k x 3. In previous games it was random whether you got more thank 30k total back, but there are some people claiming that it alternates. No conclusive proof as to how it works, but it can happen.

They’ve done this a few times before in response to disasters like Earthquakes in Japan, but this is the first time it’s happened globally at the same time. Also a lot of healers are running around dressed like this:

I always figured the Japanese dev in the VR Testing episode of Black Mirror was partially based on Kojima. 2020 is just all of us beta testing Kojima’s next VR game but we don’t know it and we’re just experiencing the seconds it takes to die as an entire year.

Came here to say this. The PC market is a thing, and if genres were console/handheld specific before, it’s only a matter of time before someone eventually does the work to tap into the PC gaming audience.

I'm actually surprised they were disappointed. My theory was the English VAs didn't know what they were getting into and backed out once it was clear the work (from a VA perspective) wasn't any different from doing actual hentai.

As soon as Sagat was announced for SFV you just knew Santhrax was rubbing his hands together dreaming of bringing the fireball hell timeouts back.

But if I were him with full bars and that little time left I would’ve 100% tried to chip Poison out with a super and gotten punished for it, so I can’t hate him for playing…

Yeah. I’ve loved his films for 3 decades but the more I learned of him as a person the less I liked. This kind of just solidifies him as the brilliant genius asshole that produces great work but has kind of a horrid personality.

I haven’t played 3H yet but whoever Sothis was she seemed way more interesting than Byleth.

He’s saying original all 5 DLC fighters were exciting 3rd parties, but because they want to use the 5th one for DLC Pack 2 to spice it up they pushed it to DLC Pack 2 and whipped up a Fire Emblem character to take its place.

Back in the day I played Final Fantasy Tactics Advance on emulator because I was a cheapskate kid who didn’t have money. I loved that emulators had speedup buttons and it made combat a lot more fluid. When I got to college I bought a DS and was super excited to play Tactics Advance 2. Four or Five missions in, I gave…
