I swear a larger group of man babies has never existed.

I know it’s for younger kids but I can’t help but be a bit disappointed in the lack of imagination and content Nintendo ended up bringing to their first ever theme park. A lot of the rides and attractions at the likes of Disney and Universal use cutting edge animatronics and really unique/special technologies and…

“There’s also a 10-speed automatic available if you’re into that sort of thing.”

You mean PS5 and Xbox Series X? From what I understand, no, nothing special — but it’s playable via backward compatibility on both machines.

Right? I thought this was “Assassin’s Creed”, not “Find the Nearest Oil Jar”.

Cool story, Hansel.

The problem is a game with 100 hours of discovery with unique experiences and regions would be impossible to make. We need to stop wishing for that, because then companies try and deliver and it’s bloated open world crap. There needs to be a quantum leap in procedural generation before a game with 100 hours of truly…

I just got through the Cent storyline. And I must say, as gorgeous as this game is—and as much fun as I’m having—it is indeed too damn long. I have like, what, six regions left? Six! And I’ve already put like 60 hours into the game! I’m ready for this to be over.

And the barred doors. THE GODDAMNED BARRED DOORS. If you’ve got 100 hours of game, don’t make 10-20 of it just trying to figure out how to get into a room barred from the inside even though nobody is even in there. Hell, they even hid a couple chests inside rooms with ZERO windows or doors. Fully furnished rooms, no…

100% agree. I ended up sinking 80 hours into what was basically a game with enough substance to be a 40 hour game. Everything was just stretched out too thin. Did we really need the full open world Norse Mythology areas? Did we need to spend several hours exploring all of Vinland in that little vignette?

I feel like this has been an issue for a LOT of games - Ubisoft games specifically, but also gaming in general, everything from Horizon Zero Dawn to latter-day BioWare - and I generally pin the blame on Skyrim, if inadvertently. Lot a lot of things in gaming, it felt like other developers looked at Skyrim, said ‘oh,…

I can see Fluctra’s perspective in having the consequences be more like Twitter’s, but Twitch set their rules clearly and this guy got caught. This is in the “I broke a rule but didn’t get caught for a long time so I shouldn’t get penalized for it” zone. If Twitch decides “oh, he’s ok since he’s 15 now” then this…

I’ve read that some of the firms/corps that were shorting Gamestop and getting fucked over now are the ones we bailed out back in ‘08. The funds that bankroll some sports teams are involved too. I say good. Just another crack/hole exposed in this stupid system where the “economy” is booming, but people have no money

So. Uh. Yeah. We’re all still struggling with the pandemic, huh?

Granted, I haven’t played more than a demo of the game (which having a demo for that game may have been the worst advertising for anything that I’ve ever seen), but it definitely has platforming elements to it. It’s kind of a game that is really hard to classify, because it pulls from a ton of genres (platformer,…

Great, now Kotaku is using slideshows?!

And how fucked up is it that somehow that’s the kind of leadership we need right now?

I usually try not to be gatekeepy about cosplay but I’m unimpressed with the wish dot com jumpsuit and special edition pip-boy.

The cosplay looks good, but the heels, I don’t know. They look out of place with a vault suit.
