This is not news, and this is not even useful. It is based on a non-statement, a simulacra bred update that is meant for the reader to say "Oh, yeah! I do remember that game! What, so it might still come out? That's great/I don't care".

I'm... growing tired of these negativity pieces. I agree that a game's opening should be good, of course, but is under-explaining such a big deal? What, so you have to explore a game world? How passe! Over-explaining? What, so the dev is worried that you'll say the game under-explains its mechanics and so they…

That joke never gets old!

Grumble grumble!

They had to build the engine, too. Just like Kojima had to build his engine. But, well, you know, SE does deserve hate. But more educated hate!

That is the most well rendered bento of all time.

Super lol at "trial and error" gameplay. Oh man, and I had seen that argument thrown around recently on Kotaku. Exquisite.

I hope you read this.

The rape analogy is a very good one. People just aren't getting that this article was just an opinion piece. I know it's hard because Kotaku does post news and reviews things, but sometimes they are a blog too.

So... because a person wants to stop playing violent videogames in their own personal life because they've finally realized the gravity of mass killings... is wrong for having their own opinion? This wasn't an article telling other people to stop playing games, it was just one person saying he was done.

It certainly made me very quickly remember the airport scene in MW2. Showing horrific, senseless murder is one thing, but being able to actively take part in it, is another. It also disturbs me to think about the child in MW3. Am I saying those devs are deplorable? No, but those two games specifically got into an…

I hated the extra objectives. I don't care that they're optional, it was still an objective tht had to be completed, so I had to complete it. Because of this, I almost considered returning the game during one of the earliest mission where you have to sneak around and set three prisoners free, and find a hidden…

Same here. I had either started to grow tired of the game or just wanted to multitask like I usually do and was listening to a podcast (BEYOND!) when that chase came up. I was so confused for so long that I had to google it. When I realized that the game wanted me to go against what it was telling me, without ever, at…

^Agreed!

I don't always agree with you, I think sometimes there are things we should be complaining about, the industry and it's games are not perfect, however the lengths that some commenters and these very writers go to are pretty wild. (It was so strange for me to see how much Kirk and Jason absolutely fell madly in love…

...I like the art. Fits the character. Is the character a douche? Pretty much.

Man that original face design is terrifying.

lulz

Aww.... you reminded me of Valkyria Chronicles 3....

I really feel like that article, can't remember if you or Kirk wrote it, about how devs don't talk enough, is really directed at Square Enix. They talk sooo much about crap we don't care about, but pretend nothing's going on with all the stuff we do care about. I think this is a Japanese publishing thing, too. Last…
