So, the game you’ve been waiting years for was about to come out and Jason Schreier has just written an article about it...

They should go after the duo of DIK and ASS next, as there is no way two people could have that many high scores all across the country without cheating.

The Nier: Automata one makes me laugh since there are sequences in the game which are done as a side-scroller. They could have just saved some time and just taken a screen cap from one such sequence.

Republican in the front, skinhead in the back.

“And now in VI he has a ghost horse because it’s cool.”

Yes, but:

YS VIII was robbed!

Aside from tugging on the ol’ heartstrings (what? I’ve got something in my eye), stories like this serve as a reminder that art of all kinds has the power to touch the lives of those who consume it—but we should also remember that fans and their reactions can have a significant impact on the creators of that art as…

Words cannot fully describe how much I love this, and how beautiful it is

Why would you spoil this with an image, it just came yesterday!? Thank goodness I already played it because that was one of the most pleasant surprises. I know you guys need sensationalism but did you have to use that image?

“Can we get this as a standalone please?”

I am so glad I played Sonic Mania before seeing this article. The Chemical Plant Zone boss reveal was brilliant. Bit of a shame that you’re spoiling it in the header image a whole 24 hours after its release. Maybe change it?

It’s all but guaranteed but at the same time it makes sense for them to hold back talking about it at least until the new year. I could see it being possibly next summer’s big Switch release, before getting delayed into the fall.

Instant karma right there.

Twitch turned into C-SPAN so gradually I hardly even noticed

How in the world did Sachiko from Erased not make the cut?

Yes, that’s part of what I wrote. There’s a reason Kotaku doesn’t have a review up yet.
