CD’s vids get a pass because people tend to like their CGI commentary. So it’s the whole parasocial “I feel like I know these guys and they would never do anything terrible because I watched 100s of these guys’ vids” relationship, that will certainly lead to a *pikachu shocked faced* when they end up selling their AI…

politically divide people. 

Starfield is a 7.5/10 game and that’s perfectly fine.  Plus considering how games are nowawdays, I see Starfield 1.0 as a good foundation for Bethesda to continue to on in the coming years.

The man is so desperate to be liked. The fact that he willingly allowed so much cringe in his own autobiography speaks volumes to the level of insecurity the man has. Every post, every appearance is one large “How do you do fellow kids?”

Because see?  He’s just like you and me?  He likes the video games and quotes…

When he means pro-immigration, he really means cheap labor.

he’s doing the “center of right” shuffle that a lot of obvious right wingers (see also: Bill Maher ) do when they repeat right wing talking points and conspiracy theories, but still want to be seen as being “non-political.”

“ This is not an appropriate outlet to express your distaste for Elon Musk’s political views”

Yes it absolutely is.  Funny how freedom of speech never seems to cover criticisms of dip-ship billionaires.  

Ah yes 4/11.  Got Infamous and Little Big Planet out of that one.

Hah! I got this reference!

Where are those people now?

Honestly?  I think this article hits on what I kind of like about Starfield: It’s cozy.  It’s not demanding so much in the way that most other games of its ilk tend to be.  I get a quest, I move to the Quest marker, I perform said Quest, I move on to the next one.  There’s a rhythm about it that I find myself…

Kinda weird for people to go “they don’t care about game preservation” when, of the three console manufactuerers, Microsoft has probably done the most to provide gamers with access with older games from previous generations. Yes, I recognize that “stuff can be two things” and the conversation is more nuance than that…

I used to come to Kotaku to read videogame news. Back in the day, that’s what Kotaku was all about. Then Kinja came along, then Kotaku was bought and sold a million times and now we’re left with this, a decadent husk of what it used to be.

It doesn’t matter if you accept it or not. Thats how it works. Privilege absolutely goes as far as it wants. Wanna know how I know? We literally had a president who all but admitted to sexual assault.

Man...I feel like I re-read your posts several times. Mostly because it seems so out of touch that I’m almost certain that this is a bit. But no..Cyberpunk isn’t just “cool mechs and gadgets.” Granted, because of the extreme popularity of the genre, a lot of media dilutes Cyberpunk to a simple “future-cool”…

Chriiiist, this fucking try-hard.

Considering the cozy relationship Nintendo has with Microsoft, the most I ever see of a potential partnership is Gamepass being playable on the Switch.  But yeah, Nintendo isn’t going anywhere because why would they?  

Seriously.  People who genuinely hope that Nintendo would either go third party or get bought out by a company do not know what they are asking for.  I”ve been saying that for years that it’s an awful idea and it’s not worth it just so you can get a 4K Pokemon game running at 60 fps.

The Wii-U lived and died by its gimmick because it couldn’t replicate the accessibility of the original Wii. The Switch 2 will succeed because its an iterative entry in its already hugely popular console. “it’s a big new shiny version of the thing you already like” of course it’s going to do well. That’s literally how…

“And either way, the vast majority of modern Nintendo titles are just sequels or ports, anyways. The creativity they once exhibited is now gone, and they sell nostalgia, and the rare attempt at something new (to keep their creatives happy) instead. Not that Sony is much better, nor Xbox, but neither are as scummy as…
