Cancer is a beast. He should not do social media if it makes him feel terrible when he’s already exhausted by his disease and its treatment, so this is probably the best decision he could’ve made. I wish him the best for his next couple of years.

Mass Effect Trilogy. The coldness of space as tightly focused story-driven experience is just what you need when you’ve caved in from the cold and need something to spend the time you can’t spend outside like you used to.

Okay... I’ll say this: Bethesda gives you bang for your buck in quantity, production and scope but Obsidian are just smarter and better game-designers. Bethesda garners more buzz because size and numbers is a cheap but effective marketing pull that works every time.

It’s just a testament to how Bethesda were never really that great. I mean, from the games I’ve played, Oblivion, Skyrim and very little of Fallout 3, I just think what I played of Fallout New Vegas was more impressive, especially in how the writing felt much more professional. For the most part I think all Bethesda…

Mistaken trolling is the worst thing on internet boards. It got me fired from NeoGAF immediately with no way to refute it.

You can’t blame cancer survivers or survivors of cancer tragedies, to just get over it or them having harsh criticism to whatever this is, though. It’d be hypocritical, especially when we’re seeing the same negative reaction and obstacle-making for game developers with all the talk about diversity and inclusivity…

Personally I find it more similar to Kojima making MGS without David Hayter than I do with Konami making MGS without Kojima.

Wow. This I did not expect. Though, admittedly as soon as I saw he was only 69 in the headline I thought: “Cancer...? Yeah. Cancer, every, fucking, time.”

Konami is desperate. Their most precious feature was broken: “Oh no, not our extra money!!!”

To be honest it doesn’t seem like a “next step” in that franchise. It’s not made by the people who made KOTOR except Drew Karpyshyn being on the writing team, but Bioware Austin IIRC was actually originally an EA company, and the whole SWTOR concept seems like a bit of an EA initiative.

Finn was not called upon by the force. He doesn’t have it, he just used the lightsaber because Rey ran from her destiny and the First Order started attacking. It would be cool if he did eventually disover he had the force though.

The problem in general with Force Awakens is that its lore is too vague. How did the First Order form exactly, and why is there a rebellion? What was growing up as a Stormtrooper like? Did Finn have a lot of fraternizing opportunities? Was the guy who died his friend or was it just another Stormtrooper? Is there some…

To be honest, I think he’s just making his case the best he can. Remember, this entire new saga is an initiative by the owner of planet Earth; Disney, and as it usually goes with corporate things like these the creators get memos on “do’s and don’t’s” for the story they have to create. It could be a requirement to…

J.J. Abrams doesn’t need to excuse it. We all know he did it like this because it’s his thing, and very reminiscent of how he handled Star Trek too. I just wonder if he’d have the creativity to make a completely original story that couldn’t rely on returning elements though.

...I’m just surprised so few called it, I mean, just with the way it was announced and all. The second I saw it I thought it looked really bland so I’ve actually skipped it and now that the honeymoon is over all you hear is “Fallout 4 was so disappointing!”.

It’s really sad to know that the developer’s support is what determines whether Kotaku writes honest pieces like these or not. This 5-stages of disappointment feeling is not exclusive to Fallout 4. It has happened many times in the past in cases which Kotaku was just like “this game is amazing, look at the metacritic,…

Once again, thank you present Kotaku for NOT addressing this feeling back when ME3 got all the controversy. This perfectly describes how I felt playing that game too, and thanks to the ending it was rejection rather than acceptance and I think it was for many (except I strongly felt it was rather 95% cringeworthy than…

Hey look, it’s Sonic The Human

I 100% agree with everything. It’s basically every gripe I had with the movie laid out in full here. I don’t think it’s a bad or mediocre movie — it’s great, but it’s just sort of half-decent as a Star Wars movie... it gets the job done, somewhat (if it doesn’t end up locking VIII and IX into inevitable retcons)

Murder is so fucking terrible, and kids too. So awful.
