It’s really subjective, as well. Luke appreciates the difficulty, which he’s totally entitled to!

You got me, I skimmed the first few paragraphs until he started talking about gameplay. Still, from all the reviews I’ve come across various sites, this game is less AW influenced than the 2 he mentioned: Tiny Metal and War Groove, with his argument centering around those games not being punishing enough and this game…

Thank you.

He mentioned Wargroove in the second paragraph and the rest of the article is explaining his reasoning for the comparison to Advance Wars and the very specific way this game reminds him of it. Sometimes it pays to go beyond the headline before you comment.

No offense to this game, which looks neat, but the true successor to Advance Wars is the magnificent War Groove, which I’m guessing Luke hasn’t played (shame!). It is an absolute must play for any AW fan, hell any strategy fan. It is an unabashed homage to AW right down to the gorgeous and colorful characters, though…

simple solution that would also fit with the series humor: have Kiryu apologize every time he hits a female character. “sorry, sorry, I’m sorry, This isn’t what it looks like, sorry, sorry...”

Microsoft: we don’t make exclusives, we take them.

Adding yet another layer of corporate bureaucracy to the mix. Because that’s always makes things better.

Just that the article says “Mario is finally getting the battle royal treatment” ignoring that this is actually the second time.

Remember when a fan did this last year and Nintendo shut it down? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

Cowards.

Obligatory;

Wrong footage. I don’t know why Tank Man is used as the headline image but the actual Tiananmen Square footage is of a bunch of students standing on top of a tank and hitting it.

Also, fuck Activision and their shitty games.

I don’t know why everyone is so upset about footage of an event that clearly didn’t happen. 

Mobile issues are, I’m told, top of tech’s list atm, the redesign has not been kind to page speed or the ways ads are laid out.

Is there information on how much data a typical kotaku page uses? This page alone has 7 ads and an autoplaying video

“Trump in particular is a dead man walking, will be out of office in January”

I’ll believe it in January.

If anybody truly wants him out of office, do not listen to the polls or pundits.  Go out and vote no matter what!

I think that some of social media companies are starting to realize and do two things:
