The year 2981. Game history has been nearly forgotten. A team of daring crooks must break into the Museum of Pre-War Artifacts to steal the mysterious item known only as “Persona 5". These outlaws call themselves THE PHANTOM THIEVES...

...but they have no idea why.

One on one with no items is the most sterile and boring way to play Smash. The game is made to be played with all the crazy items on the strange interfering stages by 4 people at the same time. The game is a Chaos simulator and that’s why it’s fun

> So the first (and probably easiest for Kotaku readers) logical deduction you’ll have to make is that this is a list of different characters from the Mega Man games.

DRAIN THE THWOMP!

I’d also like to personally apologize to anyone affected. When I uploaded my footage through our system yesterday, I thought it would be cool to show off the new monster and a really fun hunt. I submitted this footage without any idea that something like this was even possible, particularly for something like…

Not intentional and something I’ve spent Saturday morning trying to sort out.

Maybe offline save could help hackers but has Nintendo ever said why there are no cloud saves? Seems like too big an oversight especially on a portable console to have been a mistake. The cynic in me thinks they rushed Switch development to make up for the lost revenue on the Wii U.

If localizers kept 100% true to the original text, they’d be translators and our scripts would be a lot less colorful and characters less memorable. They make hundreds of these invisible changes to scripts and, going on a limb here, and I’m gonna guess you probably never noticed or cared until it seemed vaguely…

Hell, maybe I’ll actually have a reason to give a goddamn about the connection between Noctis and Lunafreya by the time they finish releasing everything?

And yes, I know, their relationship is explored to some degree in the ancillary material.

Here’s the thing: Games that are not part of a multi-game arc are meant to be…

I don’t know. Hurt feelings are pretty rough too.

Hey GMG ad person. That supeman ad is obtrusive and dumb. The auto playing videos aren’t fun either, since they stop my music from playing while visiting the site.

I mean your paying for a physical statue that just happens to scan into the game. Its not DLC at all.

I am just going to point this out and I know I will get blowback for it but it is important. Conservative ≠ racist or white nationalist. They are separate things. The Alt-Right, Gamegate, and their detestable ilk are not by very definition conservatives, the name “Alt-Right” comes from being an Alternative to the…

That satisfaction rate might—just might—have something to do with the fact that Final Fantasy XV’s core narrative stands out as one of the most poorly-executed, contrivance-laden, plot-holes-big-enough-to-drive-a-bus-through-riven experiences in the history of the franchise.

And that’s saying something.

I actually…

For the folks asking, “Why was the kid streaming,” I’m just gonna be blunt:

Way to miss the fucking fire burning the house down over the smoke that’s offending your nostrils.

Yes, the kid’s young, and yeah, it’d be a much better idea for them not to be streaming, but they are not the problem here. The cowardly, craven…

It is a first world problem, sure. But since we live in a context of being in a first world, the problems are valid, lol.

People are allowed to be bummed for things they were excited for.
