I just want to say, I play Rome Total War II exclusively for its historically accurate spawn rate of women in power by country of origin. Who doesn’t?

Her website was also full of broken links and typos, including a full tab dedicated to “Carrers” which went to a 404. I don’t care who you are--if you want people to take you seriously, take yourself seriously first.

There’s no greater symbol of the times than the assumption that every piece of art “takes a side”. Washington D.C. is, of course, a symbolic background, and it *could* speak to many things - too many to list - but that doesn’t make it political. Just because an event (you mentioned Trayvon) coincides with art and…

It’s interesting that she was recognized as well - and with a look of surprise that sounded a lot like, “The Jade I know isn’t evil.” So, probably some shenanigans going on.

I agree with you - at least for my own habits. But I guess my point is, Pocket Camp doesn’t and can’t exist without this model. It’s an experience designed from the ground up for short bursts of play and an economy driven by impatience. New Leaf is out there for people like us. And by the way, I played the crap out of…

Not all FTP is made equal and to imply that it always does a disservice to all players in all games, seems, respectfully, both flippant and ignorant of the space. The mobile market is growing (and a lot!) for a reason - there are many people who legitimately enjoy them. You’ve got games that take hundreds of creative…

At what point do you think the mobile FTP model will be considered “accepted” enough to no longer dominate your discussions and reviews of mobile titles? For example, I rarely see a $60 price tag affect your discussions of, say, God of War, but for lots of popular iOS and Android games, such as posts about the recent…

The way these games monetize is not news, nor should it be relevant to your review when it’s literally how 95% of financially stable mobile games work. These games are made by game studios with hundreds of people who care about what they’re making. Stop, or please start adding sections to all console reviews…

Kotaku Is Like A Game Journalism Site That Keeps Writing About Free Mobile Games Without The Ability to Stop Crapping On The Way Their Economics Work Despite Frequently Fawning Over $60 Games That Include Microtransactions

tl;dr How to stop giving Amazon your money. Stop giving Amazon your money. Cool article, bro.

I get that this stuff about depictions of ladies in games is important (especially in the broader context) but I feel like if ANYONE does NOT need articles about it, it’s freaking Overwatch. There’s been a greater focus on body-positive, non-ageist, diverse representation than any game... ever. I dare anyone to give…

“Ana looks 40 at best”

Yeah ... sort of lost interest in this game when I realized the creative director is an unabashed racist, misogynist, #gamergate butt monkey. And yes, before you ask, it did influence his job performance and this game; he admitted to using his views to inform decisions regarding racial representation and other stuff…

Mitchell is saying that the tape is MAME but not his... but the tape shows the same score he purported to have. Could Twin Galaxies lose a tape or whatever? Sure. But where did the MAME tape come from, then? There just so happens to be another tape with the same good luck RNG that happens to culminate in the exact…

Wait, Dragon Age 4 is being “rebooted?” That’s a strong word (and, in my experience, generally understood in creative media to mean a narrative reset). Was that only a reference to adding unknown “live” elements to the game or something more substantial?

Oh hey, thanks for your comment on progressiveness ... VagEnthusiast

We don’t (always) combat racism because it makes certain people upset. We combat racism because it leads to major systemic problems such as hate crime, legal inequity, and loss of opportunity. It’s possible for a racist act to offend NO ONE and cause major, palpable harm. To say the author is not Japanese and…

I’m having trouble understanding some of your arguments. One, you mention that in the original Animal Crossing games, waiting is the point. But the leaf tickets in this game (the sole monetization point from what I can tell) is to speed that up. So if you don’t spend money you ... get closer to the real experience of…

Why is she saying voice lines from other characters? Some interesting lore stuff i don’t know yet? “Simple geometry.” “I feel unstoppable” etc.

Unless I’m misreading something, it seems practically nothing was found out. The filing cabinet would need a controller to track the player like that regardless of this discovery. In other words, that’s its observable behavior. An analogy would be if a car was seen independently following people with red hair, and a…
