i think the selling point is mostly ‘hey billionaire weirdo in saudi arabia, here’s a new thing you can buy’

It seems fairly obvious that the subscription model has the potential to serve players better, at least right now. For PC GamePass, even considering the pre-Starfield dry spell, players are getting a great deal. Couple that with the ability to get it free, or nearly free, by doing some stupid Bing surveys and it’s an…

I knew there was something that was bugging me about that fuck awful avatar, and now I know.

I can’t stand your Andrew Tate-looking motherfracking character.

There’s a quest where you need to go to a different planet’s Chunks to pick up the special sauce for the Chunks you’re currently at.

That’s it. There’s no complication, it doesn’t lead anywhere wacky, you just go fetch some sauce.

I can feel where Zack’s coming from.

Hard disagree that Sekiro is just like Dark Souls in a different setting, but no need to litigate that.

Changing the lipstick on a pig doesn’t make it a different pig. 

That is not what is being argued, you’ve missed the point entirely. We’re talking about empty shell characters that you imbue with a personality. They’re all that, because that’s exactly what we’re discussing.

The argument is that having a cipher PC means that the entire world has to be a set of disconnected amusement…

So you instead advocate for them to pay 70 dollars to arrive at the same conclusion of what their gut told them in the first place because you have nothing more than that tired half-defense?

You don’t have to drive a nail through your dick to know it’ll suck.

Uhh, no? Dragon Age is a created character and isn’t like this, Baldur’s Gate can be a created character and isn’t like this, every other CRPG from Obsidian/inExile is a created character and isn’t like this. I can’t think of created characters RPG from anyone that are this cookie cutter lifeless except for every…

“So we end up where we are with Starfield, a game that visually looks like something from this era, but still plays and operates like a game from 2005"

i never said anything like that. i don’t know anything about nicki minaj, and i’m just going to assume that you’re telling the truth about it, in which case, she shouldn’t be in it either.

that doesn’t mean that nick’s dogwhistling homophobia is acceptable.

What you’re engaging in is “Whataboutism” and is frankly…

“A view that you don’t share with Nick” is such a disingenuous way to put it that it’s borderline insane. Promoting fascist shit goes beyond “views I don’t agree with”.

Not to mention she’s stood by her pedophile brother and husband and used her wealth/fame to attack her husband’s accuser. 

Yes, but you don’t, for example, see Super Mario in Schindler’s List or Miley Cyrus reenacting the latest TikTok trend on Law & Order. It’s the lack of any sort of tact as much as anything else that bothers me.

Too bad she’s a terrible person that has, on numerous occasions, without hesitation, thrown other black women under the bus for her own benefit.

There’s something mildly disturbing about the Fortnite-ification of the American Military jerkfest that is COD. The game references real life events, conflicts where innocent people lost their lives. Seems to be a cognitive dissonance in my opinion to mix that with hip cartoon characters and pop divas with cute pink…

‘I thought that things will change for the better after Kotaku’s EIC removal from her position’

“Video games are art!”

There’s 18 articles so far today. Just two of them are about Baldur’s Gate 3, and of those only this one is on the topic of sex. You then have to go alllllll the way back to August 16th to find the most recent one before that on the topic (from any game), and that one is the article about speed-running to the first…
