Oh sure, FOMO in live games has really burned me out. I try to ignore it when I can, but with it becoming more and more gameplay/event related as well as cosmetics and the like, gaming is clearly leaning on the compulsory need more than ever.

For open world games, I can say from experience that the Ubisoft model is…

Looks sick!

I feel like that’s maybe just a smidge uncharitable. 

I feel like gamers just have too many options nowadays. There’s a lot of bits of specific language in this review - checking your phone while watching the pre-duel cutscene, audibly sighing when cresting a hill and seeing more things to do, “The layer of Japanese aesthetics barely hides the fact that the world is just…

“The world’s biggest badass and the world’s biggest victim” is such an amazing way to describe nearly all idiots like that gun totin “non-racist”. It’s amazing how they always want it both ways. She didn’t deescalate anything.

Dang, they really impressed with that tech demo, huh! Impressed me, too, tbh. Not sure what this collaboration could mean, but hopefully it’s good news!

They’re special mental focus pills, obvs. 

Ok, so now we have overpriced cosmetics that you have to then PAY MORE to “level up” to add more effects??? Are you serious, gaming industry? My god, the greed. It’s a comestic tied with a battlepass that has to be bought and then can be expedited per level by paying more again. 

And just a head’s up, I will not reply…

Man... that's so terrible. How can anyone not see how bad our 'leadership' across the country has messed this up so bad.

*living, whyyyy Kotaku. :/ 

“Successful people want to see others be successful.”

Sure, these kids are leaving a childish dream. But the constant requests for money and the shallow nature of it all really disturbs me. Whatever, maybe it’s just jealousy. I’m sure the economic system is running fine. 

Yeah, back when it was a fantasy, and not the sad state of wealth distribution in the country. :’(

Oh sure, gameplay is a bit easier in P5 but the variety is great. Royal made it both easier and gave it more depth, and while it didn’t fix all my issues with the original story, what it added to the characters and especially the last semester were probably some of the best story beats and character development of the…

FF9 is the best Final Fantasy, Majora’s Mask is the best Zelda, and Persona 4 Golden is the best Persona. Such is the nature of the universe.

My favorite FF9 memory is tough. I love the mognet, specifically the small story of Mary the Part Time Worker, and how you meet her as Steiner; that really got me as a kid and…

That’s hyperbolic on the review part, and for the leaks, a majority were of channels posting stolen footage. You really can’t blame them for wanting that taken down, especially how many online twisted and outright lied about the content of the game with incomplete context. 

Poor Kingdom Hearts, still reusing mostly settings and imagery from the first game almost two decades ago. Like some poor one-hit-wonder band, forced to play the only song anyone really cares about over and over.

And I say this as someone who loves the first dearly, and has played the rest as well (with varying but…

Heh, now I’m invalidating someone because I’m critiquing it? Look, I don’t think it was terrible or doesn’t have the right to exist or whatever. I’m allowed to critisize something without ‘invalidating’ it. This notion that pointing out where something could have been improved means you think that the entire piece is…

Alarming? You seem a little antagonistic. And where are you getting that I don't thing games are art?? Just because I had a problem with this person's impressions of the themes doesn't mean they aren't important to me. Just that there wasn't enough evidence of substance to elucidate it. Read all my comments again if…

Well, I don’t think I said that I'd only form my opinion from one review! I was just critiquing this review as it didn't really leave me with an idea of the author even recommended the game. I understand the purpose of it, but kinda like you said, since this is just one person's regailing or their experience playing…
