I think a lot of people give Kreia far more credit than she’s actually due - she’s an even bigger hypocrite than the Jedi and Sith she condemns. Her own philosophy, such as it is, isn’t internally consistent, because at her heart, SHE DOESN’T BELIEVE ANY OF IT BECAUSE SHE’S A SITH.

That’s absolutely true, but as it goes, if I wanted to show a friend how great, for example, Tales of the Borderlands is, once it’s delisted they’re out of luck. Can’t buy it, and me being able to redownload it isn’t of much use.

That seems a remarkably aggressive response for what I feel was a fairly innocuous comment on my part.

I feel so much more justified about almost exclusively buying physical copies of games now.

Is this a decent place to complain about how none of the selected designs are available in both Men’s and Women’s sizes?

I know it’s inside baseball and we’ll probably see for ourselves soon enough, but I’m curious if Kotaku has come to a position on this for its editorial standards. 

That’s definitely true, but at least with this, I think that worry is mitigated a bit by its focus on cooperative PVE and solo play in addition to versus. Plus, if they’re standard 32mm scale, there’s no reason you couldn’t mix them in to other fantasy games with the same scale, so at least you’d still get use from the…

I’d be a lot more sympathetic if the whole thing hadn’t been just dripping with unearned bravado and ego - the ‘Stadivarius of controllers’ line is right up there with John Romero making me his bitch.

Hey, if it gets more people into tabletop gaming, I think it’s awesome.

I really like both those Pharah skins (even if they’re mostly palette swaps). Not really feeling schoolgirl D.Va, but the black and purple one looks great, and Superfund Roadhog is an absolute winner. 

I had an Impossible Burger at Burger King and it was... fine?

Personally, I’ve decided to feverishly believe this means Borderlands 3 crossplay between PS4 and Xbone.

Man, it’s kind of crazy how many of the games on that list I owned as a kid. Is this what people who grew up in Nintendo households felt when the NES/SNES Classics were announced? 

I feel like I learned far more than I ever wanted to about Nathan in this article. 

Yeah.

Honestly, more games need to be comfortable with the idea that they’ll be played and then put away. Like, I love me an Ubisoft open world-fest of gradually clearing icons off a map but not everything needs to be adding season updates to try and make me reinstall and play again for an hour.

That’s not terribly surprising, though. At the end of either AC2 or Brotherhood (whichever one ends with you fistfighting the Pope), Ezio is confused when he thinks he’s being spoken to, but the Isu is actually talking directly to Desmond hundreds of years in Ezio’s future.

I replayed most of the series last year (aside from Professor Layton and the Edgeworth game), and they are just as delightful the third or fourth time through as they are the first. 

Honestly, why not take a page from WoW and have the matchmade and non-matchmade versions of the raid offer different difficulties and different loot levels. If all you want to do is see the encounters/story and get some easy loot, do the matchmade. If you want the higher challenge and better rewards, do the…

It’s a bit older - published in ‘88-89 - but I’d recommend Elizabeth Moon’s Deed of Paksenarrion. It was originally a trilogy, but it also wasn’t. Much like Jemisin’s Broken Earth trilogy, it’s really a single story published in three parts.
