just seems a bit weird for people to be going “hey red hood, you’re the best!”, is all.

It is great. Also he never said that. In fact, he knew some people, people like you, would be disappointed. He even put a goddamned disclaimer in the book. ETA: My bad and apologies. I realize now you are talking about that movie I have convinced myself doesn't exist.

Is this really the sequel it deserves? I think most people wanted to have the same cast as the previous game and the same writers. This sequel provides neither.

Didn’t people like it because the writing was good actually? Seems like having it developed by Gearbox defeats the purpose. Imagine playing through Borderlands 3 but without the shooting and looting and only the cutscenes.

So no more sunday comics then? 3rd week in a row now we’ve had nothing.

Glad you don’t have to strain yourself doing weekday work and weekend editing, but there’s not going to be any weekend editor on Kotaku? So no more Sunday comics (which I realize hasn’t been posted this week or last)? Sad days. Are all the weekend editors disappearing across all the sites?

Resident Evil and Final Fantasy were mentioned on the outset, but to me those are examples of when the remake system works well. Both cover classic stories from a new perspective, arguably letting them live up to a more immersive potential than they could back when ‘high drama’ was a stocky, blocky Cloud shaking his…

It’s pretty funny how in the quest for making things more realistic we’re realising that videogames probably don’t have to go all the way into that aspect.

I was (still am) an “anything except ReyLo” person. So I would have been fine with FinnRey or FinnRose had they committed to it, and while I absolutely adored FinnPoe, I was too burnt out from years of queerbaiting in other media to trust them to commit to it.

Actually, Dave Grossman was quite involved with Tales of Monkey Island while working for Telltale as lead designer. So this technically isn’t his first comeback to the franchise after 30 years, since Tales came out in 2009.

Right, I’m so curious about the approach. One part of me wants to see a lot preserved in amber because how dare anyone tamper with their original interface and puzzle setup, another really wants to see what some of their design team has cooked up to maybe up the ante. I can see it going a ton of different ways and I’m…

Good since there have been a few games in the last few years that reference Monkey Island that the iron is hot. Uncharted 4 and, most recently, Tiny Tina’s Wonderland (there’s a whole Monkey Island mission) have reminded me how great those games were. Very excited for this!

After seeing the announcement pop up in my Twitter timeline I swear I could hear people in joy everywhere in Germany.

Point & Click adventure games by LucasArts were really popular over here with the Deponia series (and some of their other series) by german developer Daedalic basically being treated as their successor.

A…

Well Disney could use good PR and they have made overwhelmingly clear they don’t want to directly spend money to make video games. So getting money + having people between the ages of 25-50 scream in joy and throw their hands up in praise is better then just sitting on a IP they didn’t want to directly use...

Hey Zack!

“I want to remind us all of the benefits of in-person collaboration.”

Should just have fired the ones that refused the vaccine. But guess they need their pervs back to harass women.

Literally every covid precaution reduction is based on the idea that with a significant portion of the population vaccinated, it becomes safe enough that for the most part, the only people in serious danger are those who can’t be vaccinated (and rely on high vaccination of others to protect them) and those who refuse…

idk if anyone ever expected corporations to be the ones enforcing socially beneficial programs when there isn’t an immediate financial incentive, but lol

You’ve been playing the PS4 version on your PS5. On the same console, the PS5 version literally takes 1-2 seconds for fast travel, and I dunno about initial load, maybe 10-20 seconds? I haven’t played in a bit.
