You know what feature I would kill for right now? I would love for the PS Store to allow me to completely filter out shovelware and terrible games by either name or development company that always clog up the first couple pages of new releases in the store.

I’m confused by the description of “Quick Resume” as a “silly, marketing-inspired name.” What’s silly about it? What feels particularly ‘marketing-inspired’ about it? If anything, “Quick Resume” strikes me as a blandly utilitarian way of communicating exactly what the feature does — it lets you resume games, quickly.

This is the most beautiful and diabolical article I’ve read in a while, and I love it.

If Bazzd, like me, owns one or more gaming platforms and regularly plays games, phone gaming is just comparatively awful. Controls suck, games drain battery like a mf, and gaming makes it comparatively obnoxious to do other things on your phone (like texting) while playing. Let’s not forget the hardware is less…

I guess I’m kind of blown away by people seeing almost entirely a collection of last-gen games as a win. I currently have both Gamepass and PS+ (the middle one), and while PS+ has been “worth it” for Stray and Demon’s Souls Remastered, I don’t really know what I’ll play after that. That’s not entirely true, I would…

Thank god, I thought we’d go more than two weeks without a signature Kotaku “This is why Game Pass is horrible, actually!” article.

Ghost recon wildlands is a better game than boyfriend dungeon.

How long has twerking been mainstream? Isn’t this guy like 10 years late to the outrage? Was he just out of moral panics to scare up?

The easiest, pretty much guaranteed way to get a PS5 at retail price is to register to buy the console from Sony and get selected for the next restock. It may take several months, but once you’re selected there’s a high chance the console will be in stock once you’re through the queue. It’s how I managed to secure…

The biggest argument for forums is that if I go to Google or DDG and type in:

Two things can be true at the same time. Pink Floyd's contribution to music is more significant than either Drake's or The Weeknd's will ever be, and Roger Waters is coming off as a tone-def pretentious asshat in this interview.

Ok, some clarification may be in order here regarding the context.

First of all, the only thing Biden can promise is a nomination. He can’t promise any votes from the Democratic caucus, and he can’t promise that no Democratic Senator won’t filibuster the nomination (and under existing rules any Democratic Senator can…

It’s helpful to think of gaming as a hobby and just like any hobby some people can get completely absorbed in it. Could be stamp collections, model trains, or whatever. People like to talk about “video game addiction” but really this problem has been around forever. Forty to fifty years ago it was someone spending too…

Pretty much all current scientific research shows that trans females maintain a biological advantage for several years post op, even with reduced testosterone levels if they had gone through puberty as a male.

There have been and continue to be emerging scientific studies that show that even well past post-op, trans women retain 95% of their strength even 1 year after starting testosterone suppressive therapy.

It seems disingenuous to say that this is simply an attack on trans athletes and that it’s not about protecting fair competition for female athletes when there is no one pushing for banning trans men from competition. If it were just about oppressing trans people there would be blanket bans, not only bans based on…

GamePass has had a rocky few months? Fucking what?

I also think there’s just a lot of focus on AAA titles, and - for me, at least - a pretty small portion of my time with GamePass stuff is spent with AAA games. I realize the AAA titles make the headlines - hence all the ‘Starfield and Redfall moved to 2023: is GamePass DONE?’ takes when those delays were announced -…

Came down to find this exact comment and support it. This narrative that Kotaku has had about Game Pass the last few months is really, really strange and does not line up with reality at all. Has Microsoft had a ton of first party games? No, but that’s a different conversation than saying Game Pass has had “no marquee…

the only times I buy games at this point are when they are either super cheap or becoming harder to find (delisted for instance).
