Not every game is for every player. Shoehorning an easier difficulty into a game in the name of accessibility can diminish the creative and/or artistic goal of the creators. Which is exactly how the creators of the game feel. 

If you’re going to lean on physical disabilities as a crutch, pun unintended, then you should…

I mean, shitty creeps are everywhere. So it’s no surprise that in the world of sexually and emotionally desperate (but still influential) video gaming nerds it’s a problem. 

Activision-Blizzard: I heard you like gay characters, so here’s more gay characters.

Tumblr banning adult content is not one of the biggest video game disappointments of the year. Come on now. 

This just in: high school gamer is mean online. 

Fallout 76 is a strange brew. It’s the rare video game that I openly view as a bad game, but still want to play. My Facebook relationship with it would be “it’s complicated.”

I’ve thought for a while now that the lack of focus on Diablo (3 or 4) has been because Blizzard just couldn’t find a way to monetize it well. Regardless of the turbulent behind the scenes events of the developers, at least the concern of monetization is a true, as I suspected. The next Diablo content looks like a micr…

Was waiting for that. Did not disappoint. 

It is not Ninja’s responsibility. He has the freedom to choose, and he prioritizes his personal life first. You don’t have to like that, but you should at the very least respect it. Personally, it might be silly and a bit juvenile, but his intentions to put his marriage first are his choice and you can’t fault him for…

This seems like a retro porn sim before anything else. Does the prioritization of trans people really make it important when it’s apart of the tackiest sub genres in gaming?

I’ve always felt like the lore in Destiny is amazing, but the execution of the lore into a storyline has been awful. There’s so much potential. 

Dancing is not an IP. If you make a dance move and it goes viral and starts being featured in video games as emotes, you can ride the wave of fame into other avenues of profit, but you can’t ask for a payout from the developers of the emotes. I mean, that’s the way things are and have been, whether you’re black or…

This is the most Kotaku article I’ve read on Kotaku in quite a while!

Bethesda is about to become the new EA, complete with too many micro transactions. If you need proof of that, take a quick look at Creation Club, Fallout Shelter, and ESOls Crown Store. Then, look at the style of games they’re putting out with Elder Scrolls: Blades and Fallout 76. They’re making a killing and they’re…

While they absolutely smashed their E3 this year, Bethesda is going to rape the wallets of its player base with micro transactions. Fallout 76, Elder Scrolls Blades, more Fallout Shelter support, all signs point to MORE micro transactions.

Strikes me as something players dreamed about...until Elder Scrolls Online. But now that expectations of a Bethesda online game have sort of settled down, I think people are reverting back to the notion of single player Bethesda games being “the want.”

Name one other game journalist with the track record that Jason has, in the past couple of months alone.

Miyazaki you beautiful bastard!!!!!!

Jesus Christ, the comments going on here are depressing. If you don’t like the guy because of his life, choices, words, whatever, that’s totally fine. But take your angst filled screen caps and criticisms elsewhere. If he was an asshole and didn’t respect others, then BE THE BIGGER PERSON YOURSELF.

Thanks for this. I often times find myself torn between trying to 100% complete side content or finish the story, and unsure of whether or not I’ll miss out on anything or have to start fresh after wrapping up the final chapter.
