Insane Franchise Sequel 5 felt like such a retread, IMHO.

What have you done!? My hopes have now been crushed! I have been waiting for insane franchise sequel number 6 since 2011!

Also, because I missed this earlier: there actually is something more pathetic: the fact that you made your account specifically to post this “other people are happy, and I’m butthurt because I’m a miserable asshole” comment.

Different sort of Romance of Three Kingdoms.

I’ve always wondered why people say “X company set up X product to fail.”

Are their cases where the big company is incompetent and indirectly leads to the failure of a product that should be a success? Of course, we see it all the time. However, when it comes to game developers and publishers, there’s always a strain…

John Carpainter. Hehehehehe. Also, they used this plot later in the first arc of the Cable/Deadpool ongoing series. And it was hilarious.

I remember this game. F*ck this game.

Finding Paradise, the sequel to the excellent narrative game To The Moon, will be out on December 14, creator Kan Gao said today. New trailer above. The Kotaku quote is particularly good.

Trump supporters are really dumb. But you don’t have to take my word for it.

The thing with freemium is that it has the effect of reaching a wider audience (since it’s free) and I think EA went with this because they saw it as having more potential to grow among the masses than if it were just a typical paid game, which is true. Obviously, since it’s free they would have to monetise it in some…

Sometimes I wonder how an early access game with a bunch of optimization issues managed to reach esports with a two hundred thousand prize pool already.

I’m replaying the original PvZ right now. I never got super into the second game cause the Pay-to-Win elements turned me off so much.

No.
It stank.
It was freemium pay to win bullshit. Don’t try and rewrite history, especially not on Kotaku. You’ll be hard pressed to find anyone on this site who didn’t play that travesty of a game and you pretending it was anything other than that isn’t a matter of opinion, it’s just the default position of a…

Pffft. This isn’t Hands of Fate 2.

The current model is just too profitable. Companies with shareholders have tasted blood. The profits from season passes, various preorder editions, individual expansions, and small dlc like costume packs and the like are just not enough.

I think this move was made to avoid the industry-wide reevaluation we all want. This is done to keep the spotlight off publishers’ predatory gambling practices, to keep mainstream media outlet from talking about it in the context of Star Wars and Disney. I mean, CNN’s not going to care whether Anthem or Titanfall 3…

If 2017 has taught me anything it’s that the future is stupid and nothing makes sense anymore.

Any Game of the Year list without Divinity 2 is a fucking joke.

“We forgot that we can sell much of our pre-owned stock of games between now and the holiday shopping season. So we’ll resume the program once we have more money and fewer used games to rent.”
