CoD Blackout has surprisingly been my favorite so far. I love all the items and the performance is great on ps4. 

Well done. 

Hold on, someone wrote a self-insert One Direction fan fiction, and it sold millions of copies and is is being made into a movie??

It definitely feels like the first 10 minutes of the movie. And there’s not any real action in it, either. They know we’ll see it. Kinda didn’t even need this trailer, to be honest. 

I understand, because my Geralt is the Correct Geralt.

But seriously, I had this problem back in Mass Effect as well. I got so used to Shepard’s voice with my character, seeing other playthrough’s was really, really unsettling.

Also, Arthur with the biggest possible beard is the only way to go. I’ll post in a second…

Dang Kotaku really stepping their game up and tackling the hard issues. But hey, the comments, myself included, prove this works. 

The original Castlevania on the NES had a delay from when you pressed the attack button and when the animation finished, while also having punishing jump arcs. This idea is not new. And in a 3D game, you’re going to have contextual conflicts. I know I’ve seen people tackle pedestrians instead of getting on their…

People that complain about the movement controls constantly make me wonder if they would have preferred a cowboy in the 1890's to move like Cyborg Raiden from Revengeance.

Yeah, not even in a Picasso sort of abstract way can I enjoy the proportions and faces. The colors are nice, at least. 

If those are really the problems PS4 has, then they really are doing great. The GAMES have been hit after hit. Visual novel titles aint going to lose the war, I think.

Thanks for the reply. I just take umbrage with the notion that a lot of modern criticism is just a reflection of nostalgia, or hand-waved away as complaining that a new sequel is ‘just not being what the series used to be’.

I think FFXV failed as both a FF and an open world game. Some people disagree, and I’ve heard…

Don’t be presumptuous. I could easily turn that around and say you are probably just a person who enjoys shallow, non-engaging experiences, even when they’re poorly designed. People can dislike a game and not be bitter fanboys (e.g., The Last Jedi).

Because FF XV, at launch, was poorly designed. There were no great…

Must not be for you, then. I love it. I love the slow pace, and the weightiness of it. I don’t get to play for long periods at a time, but I still enjoy sifting through the game-world. There are still gamey parts, of course, but I like feeling absorbed into the experience.

Thus, Blizzard will never win. I’m sure some will hate the black female character, or her costumes, inevitably. Below there's criticism of Pharah and Lucio.

What’s SFM?

No trophies?!? Man... what a bummer. 

That’s the double standard, for ya. Shitty dudes ruined us being able to talk about attractive women the same way.

But, still, that writing is Kotaku’s style. That’s the benefit of skirting the line between blog and traditional journalism.

(Now I’m imagining Jason Schreier writing something like that and chuckling.)

Cavill doesn’t look ‘hot as Geralt’, he just looks hot... in a wig. There isn’t much lighting, but still, there’s doesn’t seem to be any detail in the makeup part of the ‘makeup test’. Where are the scars? The pale face? Sunken eyes? He is a mutated killing machine, you know. He can be attractive, but this is just a…

heh, well, I’ll try not to get into that can of worms. Suffice it to say, I do not believe the film was well made, and MauLer did make a lot of legitimate points that I couldn’t argue it. 

The video has solid points, and I enjoyed his Sherlock and Soy Boy vids, but his Dark Souls II vid, as pointed out by MauLer, was rough.

Still, though, Lovecraft’s themes and how they were influenced by his prejudice is a fascinating example of the artist relative to their art, and how we have to decide to judge them…
