I really wonder how much Mankind Divided was hurt by its marketing campaign (which was pretty awful). Certainly you can make a game about prejudice towards cybernetically augmented people, but even so throwing things like “mechanical apartheid” and “augs lives matter” in your marketing shows you’re not really going…

100% agree. Jennifer Hale did a fantastic job.

Fem Shep is best Shep. I base that statement purely upon Hale’s performance.

it’s a rhetorical question, not meant to suggest there’s no reason not to.

“We really wanted the player to see the world through Sam’s eyes and decided the best way to do it was to cast you as a complete scumbag dedicated to ruining said world.”

I never saw the direct quote myself, so grain of salt, but I believe it’s been said that whichever sibling you don’t choose sticks around as part of the “main cast.” Maybe not as a squad mate, but at least as a supporting cast member.

seems like something 90% of people used once/never and won’t care about.

Well now Snacktaku is cancelled forever, and it’s your fault.

This is literally something I have looked for. It’s like the New Madden mode for playing seasons. Gonna use this a lot. Thanks.

“But notice how Marcie never asserts that Peppermint Patty was wrong or selfish. Instead, she takes the blame upon herself; it’s the sort of solution that someone with low self esteem might apply.”

this is exactly it — the waist is not unrealistically thin out of context, but the waist:hip ratio is extremely low.

Thirsty reddit Dudes: “Nah looks normal to me, she just took off those thick clothes”

Everybody else: “Uhhhh...”

I think I failed to account for the player’s context

Authorial intent?

Sounds like she changed her mind on what she was doing and how she wanted to present the situation based on how people were perceiving it.

I know. It’s so obvious. The mental gymnastics people go through evaluating the game based on gameplay aspects while ignoring the entire subject of the game, a teen killing other teens at school for no good reason, is astounding.

I’m not judging the game as good or bad, mind you, just that, it’s subject matter is…

The most disgusting thing about this to me is so many of my mates in my Arma 3 Community(clan whatever you want to call it) who are defending him on discord. I hate finding out people who you think are reasonable and chill, then you found out their ignorance. Their argument is that we should be tolerant of his free…

Before the trolls get here and say “take this back to gawker... oh wait” I just want to say, thanks. The fact that Kotaku, as much as this is a meme post, tries to incorporate real-world news into gaming culture is amazing because how important it is. Whenever I see a post regarding American politics on Kotaku, I’m…

If the trick is as gorgeous and haunting as the last 2 amazing titles, then by all means, keep riding that pony.
