I have to agree with “running simulator 9000"; I find the enormous scope of open world very tedious. I haven’t picked it up again since it crashed on me hard (full system restart) a few hours in.

Agreed that Paradise is the wrong game remake/remaster, but I despise open-world games as a rule because they’re so padded with garbage activities and the experience consists far too much of running from A to B, back to A, to C, back to A, etc., usually with nothing to do during those nevereneding runs.

This game just owns so hard. I think it plays very well with a controller if you turn aim sensitivity way up, and you’re a primarily melee focused class. If you play a ranged class, you’ll want a mouse because your precision will be shit with how high you need to turn the sensitivity to be able to react fast enough in…

Given how easy it seems to be to establish correlation between two completely unrelated things, it’s literally incredible that people actively trying to establish correlation between gun violence and violent video games have not been able to do so.

I’ve been contemplating between an LG Oled 55" TV and a 34" Ultrawide G-Sync Monitor in my second bedroom/office, which will primarily be used for gaming but also for other (likely minimal) computer work and some streaming. (I have a GTX 1080ti, which is why I’d pay the $200 upcharge for G-Sync.)

That movie was the most boring thing I’d seen in a long time. It ruined itself.

I own a pair of these and have gifted sets to a friend, my wife, and her dad. All have been very pleased with them. My previous go-to wireless earbuds were the Earin M1. I’ve also tried the Bragi Dash, which I thought was terrible in pretty much every way. The Earins sounded great and are super comfortable, but are…

“Performative misery” is the internet. Nicely done.

I don’t understand any of these complaints. The text is clear and very readable. What more out of text do you really look for?

FF Tactics is not a game for adults without practically unlimited free time. The battles are soooo long. I frequently try to pick it up on my smart phone and cannot get back into it, despite dumping 100 hours into it when I was a kid.

Whatever season (three, four?) that opened with like 10 minutes of Rick gardening.

I think you mean “best” and “hilarious.”

Seems an odd reason to decide not to like something, but you do you.

His collaboration on Def Tones’ “Passenger” is epic. His stuff with Bowie in the Underworld soundtrack is also awesome.

Not sure why you feel put upon because a Kotaku editor doesn’t like a game you (might? have you played it?) like.

I was very, very surprised by the early negative reviews. The show is, as the Verge said, “rad.” Forbes followed with a good review.

Altered Carbon is awesome. You should watch it if you enjoy science fiction and action, at all, because the “everything else” is unquestionably okay-to-good, and the science fiction and…

Your “the Switch lacks the power” argument is a decent argument with respect to some games (though somewhat belied by Skyrim, Doom, and W2), but it’s clearly irrelevant here where we’re looking at a game that could probably run in CPU hardware circa 2000.

Very different from Pillars, which is more Baldurs Gate-ish, i.e., real-time + pause. Combat in D:OS2 is more X-COM or FF Tactics, i.e., completely turn based where you move around a grid.

The controller support for D:OS2 works great. I will be shocked, especially considering the large audience it found on PC, if it doesn’t get ported to at least the PS4 and XBOX One.

Every time there is an article on Kotaku about (or, hell, that even just mentions) D:OS2, I have to come on here and profess my unending love for this game.
