Now if only they’d add an option to defer specific checks to specific party members without having to cancel out of an interaction first. At best it’s an annoying waste of time at worst you miss something permanently because it was a one time interaction.

You mean random weirdos on the internet were wrong when they said they were done making xboxs? Shocking.

I was more of a Vanille guy than Fang. Current crush is Perrin from the Indigo Disk expansion for Pokémon Scarlet/Violet. Kairi from Kingdom Hearts, Mia from Golden Sun, and idk… Dixie Kong? Maybe BotW/TotK Zelda. I feel like I’m missing some good ones, but it’s been a long road playing video games. Kristen Bell in…

Let’s see . . .

The lesson here should be that you don’t try to kick-start a new AAA franchise with a AAA budget and AAA expectations. Marketing and advertising are no replacement for the organic hype of people telling other people to play it!

We just got out of a year where we had...

I’m really not very sure why we’d consider Aveum a referendum on single player game modes, particularly in light of how well several games with single player modes available are doing right now. A bit of a reach!

Yeah the takeaway from this is NOT that single player games are in trouble. There were lots of other potential reasons (aside from quality) why this failed:

This exactly. Look at the success of Baldurs Gate 3. Singleplayer seems like it is in a good place now.

I mean, I think the game didn’t do to well because it looked boring as hell and EA didn’t go that hard with promoting it. 

Of course. Around the world, people think hockey is the national sport in Canada. But in fact, Quebec-bashing is the most popular.

In “defense” of Eidos Montreal, being an asshole to other people is a very French Canadian thing to do, so it’s not like they were singling him out.

That’s some weird gatekeeping

I believe that Kotaku can and should write about “nerd” culture, and that includes really cool movies.

If all of the Microsoft exclusives are going also show up on playstation and PC, remind me again what the selling point for the Xbox console itself is?

“I was wrong all of this time, Xbox doesn’t care about us, Microsoft doesn’t care about us. We’ve been fighting this war for nothing.”

It’s just like how Netflix ditched DVDs for streaming and haven’t been heard from since.

Game Pass is a silly subscription service? This is a phenomenally stupid take.

I never understood the problem with that. Wasn’t pretty much the very first theory with the first trailer that Joel would die or is already dead in the game.
There were whole discussion over the trailer as far as I remember.

That people really got pissed about a friggin story-arc. And not even a really new one. Its…
