Okay, but like... *dying*? Just a wee bit hyperbolic, innit? lol

Why is “challenge” left up to the RNG? That smells like BS to me. Make the mechanics challenging, sure, but not the dadgum conversations and story beats, come on now.

Finally, someone else said it.

I mean, sure. Mainline Final Fantasy continues to do what it’s always done, which is literally never repeat itself, push graphical fidelity to the bleeding edge, and iterate on its mechanics every single time.

Seriously, just give us WoW style hotbars at this point and let us put on and use whatever skills we want however we want... 

> there was a way to repair or increase durability

Really? I thought that sounded much more like Yuri Lowenthal.

My friend, that is what the utterly stellar Octopath Traveller 2 is for.

That doesn’t feel accurate to me. Sure, by the literal definition, you’re not incorrect I guess. But like... if I were to call someone a swimmer or a runner, or something to that effect, would that not evoke even a small degree of intensity to their interest in the subject? “I like to swim” =/= “I am a swimmer” and “I…

Random aside, tried to open these tweets to like them, but hit a brick wall; when-how-why might I have gotten blocked by you on twitter? I’ve followed you&Kotaku for many years, along with many other (I suppose now-past) editors. Not sure I’ve ever even like... replied to you before, or anything that might warrant…

Okay, but like

I know I am in a minority with this opinion [...]

I’m not much of a multiplayer guy in general, but this was by far the BR most up my alley. Everything about it was exactly the right amount of cool to me and I had a blast with it for a couple weeks when it launched. Unfortunately I’m not a “one-game only” person so I moved on right quick. This is a real shame.

Man, what the heck kinda crusty old salty dinosaurs are lurking around here? That was one of the best States of Play I’ve ever seen.

Okay, it’s me. I’m “Pokemon Legends: Arceus Players.” I haven’t even seen Kleavor yet but I have a team full of alphas and my entries for the lowbies are all almost maxed... yeah...

I don’t know about you but I was always drowning in a surplus of weapons. Plus there are simple ways to mark your map and/or make mental note of where overworld chests are that drop your favorite (insert weapon here), that respawn every bloodmoon. There are no unique weapons in Breath of the Wild, so you will never be…

That’s a shame, imo. HLD was a standout masterpiece to me, and I played it so fervently I almost considered taking up speedrunning for it. I 100% that game so voraciously. It’s so good. It scratched an itch I didn’t know I had with how many beautiful wonderful things it did right for me.

Wtf? Who lays out two dimensional and often color coded data as a freaking bullet list? Are they paying you by the word count? Sheesh.

*EVO moment 37 voice...* Let’s go Jasooon!

Oh, you know, except for their main selling point of a “beautiful vast open world!!” being an ugly, buggy, stuttery, framey, boring, soulless, grindy, immersion breaking, unfun mess of a thing that was only good in theory and horrible in execution, never really fixed, and made only a bit better by the expansion’s next…
