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.

...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

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

Good thing he’s not overprotective or overdefensive about his own work like... I don’t know... Bioware for example. Different thing but... okay, I just felt like slamming Bioware, actually!

Watch out Cassandra. You wanna get fired like that other guy? Yes!? Okay, keep talking then.

I hate cancer. It’s a dark cloud looming in the distance all the time and it makes you feel powerless. I also lost my dad at an early age to it. I’m always glad to see the sense of communion it creates though, like with this. I think I’m donating. Even if his cancer turns out to be incurable this will matter to his…

Glad to see Wind Waker there. It was the most alienating exprience that I loved 100%. There’s something otherworldly about sinking beneath the sea and discovering hyrule stuck in place where the sky is ripples and waves instead of clouds. I swear that game had some true creative genius, and strangely it’s the…

A lot of the music is ambient versions of real compositions. The flagship theme “Castle in the Mist” has 3-4 ambient versions in the soundtrack too, like when you meet Yorda, for example.
