“This is where Pokémon’s narratives started to fully jump the shark.”

You can’t start to jump the shark. You can’t fully or not fully jump the shark. When you jump the shark, the quality of a series takes a nosedive and never recovers. If you don’t jump the shark, the quality doesn’t nosedive. If one story was bad, it…

How do you write an entire article recommending a manga and not once mention the names of its creators? What the actual fuck is this?

This looks nothing like Ninja Gaiden, other than clinging to walls. 

I mean, I can hold both positions. I can want the creators to take care of themselves, and I can be disappointed that the series are on hiatus. In an ideal world, good art does not require the sacrifice of good health. I advocate for a world that allows for both.

Given that we have some manga/animes with multiple endings, like when they decided to redo the ending of Evangelion, or how the Akira manga continued after the anime came and went, I think it’s fair to say that even stories completed by their original creators are often incomplete, or at least that there is no…

The entire sequence at Jabba’s Palace might be better than any one sequence in any Star Wars movie.

I . . . do not see the advantage of this. At all.

1. If someone had to get a late-term abortion, why would they make it known to pro-lifers?

2. Women don’t stay pregnant for 8 months and suddenly change their minds. Not only is that a ridiculous amount of effort and money to waste, but it’s a dangerous choice to make at that point.

3. Late-term abortions are for…

You have no constitutional right to post dumb opinions on the internet either. Why don’t you be a good little constitutionalist and fuck off.

I thought with the pruning of the previous staff, we were done with the “hey this shitty game is actually not actually shitty actually” articles.

Who’s to say we didn’t? 

“We’re not perfect.”

At this rate of release, it’s no wonder all their products look like upscaled N64 games.

What’s the punchline about siding with bigots?

I think Far Cry games are also fun at the rate they come out (yearly or less). Playing one right after another is sheer monotony, but going back after now and then? Perfectly fine.

I’m a big fan of Yuzu and emulation in general, but this has literally nothing to do with security.

I hope this doesn’t mean it’s like Samus Returns for 3DS, which basically used no more than 10 enemy and boss types for the entire game.

I hated Death Stranding, but Ethan is right. The point of the game was pure traversal mostly without the aid of gadgets that would make the trip easier.

Please please please have far fewer awful takes than the last few outgoing “journalists.”

I wonder if Kotaku will start hiring talented writers who are interested in tackling more interesting subject matter than insisting that crappy games from 10 years ago are not actually crappy for real you guys really for reals.
