This reminds me of the early days of Splatoon when players prioritized fighting the opposing team rather than inking the map.

Dunno about the big C (keep me in your thoughts?) but the facial interface material is actually very, very irritating! It’s awful. Some people’s skin reacts more strongly and they literally get rashes from it.

My Quest 2 is from after they supposedly fixed this but the facial interface still sucks. Scratchy and…

While I don’t cosign the bulk of the sentiment expressed in the article or the comments, I can actually understand the viewpoint. If a fundamental thing about yourself/your group has been largely and recently suppressed through social opprobrium and law, I can certainly understand trying to reuse those same frameworks…

This decision is especially bizarre because there already was a toggle to skip these scene and give players the choice if they wanted to experience them or not. Like I get changing your mind about your creation but this seems like a rather silly way of trying to fix it, the toggle was already there, if you now really…

I thought it was weird too, but it could be that they have a lot of players in locations where Pride Months aren’t in June. Otherwise, maybe they didn’t want to come off as just being another corporation using Pride during Pride Month to market and take advantage of rainbow capitalism? Doing it a different month might…

This.

Based on this article, the only thing I know about the kid is that he makes map on Fortnite and uses Twitter. Not exactly what I would call a “media personality in another country”. Or is everyone that uses Twitter or plays Fortnite required to take a course on Western culture first? LOL

A kid who makes Fortnite maps is hardly a public figure.

I don’t like the idea that an opinion on a subject can be determined as inherently bad or wrong just because you don’t like it. That’s not actually progressive but instead oppressive in its own way.

It would be a culture shock for anyone brought up in his environment. Does the West determine what the rest of the world can say? Does that warrant all the very personal attacks on kid in this thread alone?

People are allowed to have opinions.

No, the people asking for a refund are people who got the code early and thus want to cancel their preorder because that means they get a game code for free and don’t want to have to pay for the game now.

To clarify here:

“Probably isn’t the case but whatchumagonna do?”

I’m not sure how many people will go out of their way to install Windows, just to have access to EGS or 3rd party apps.

THE NEW GAMEGEAR LOOKS RAD.

Eh, I’d count it as beating the game, but not as completing it. Mind you, I’m looking at it from the perspective of The Completionist, wherein completing a game means 100% of any and all available things to do. This would also mean that simply beating a game on Nightmare mode is also only beating the game, since…

[...]I published an article on jaunty Kotaku tribute site Rock Paper Shotgun. Calling for a button that allowed players to skip boss fights[...]

I’m a fan of the idea of releasing easy modes a few months after initial launch. So much of a game’s success seems to depend on the communal buzz and discussion that hits in the release window.
