It’s good but there’s so much writing-related jank left too. The “progressive” stuff in this game is just... *sigh*. There’s an asari that talk openly, and fixatedly on pronouns for Asari as if she’s a transgender person who is on that social justice bandwagon and demonstrating outside of University of Toronto. Then…

“Alt-right” suuuuure.

“The voice acting is, like, soooo much better right now, cuz, Ryder isn’t a gruff spectre.”

I was hoping for a more impartial look from a journalist and not a fangirl’s forum post. Ah well.

It has to be said: The cause and effect is extremely weak in the ending scenario for Witcher 3 and to me the plot sorta goes out with a whimper regardless of whichever ending you get.

It’s essentially nothing but a remaster of an unreleased PS3 game, so don’t expect it to push the envelope.

Nooouu! Don’t go for 4K! You can improve graphics within 1080p so insanely much instead

The fact that Aonuma is actually writing makes me pretty happy. I’m quite sure he had a lot of say in the narrative of MM and WW which I both consider to be the best Zelda games storywise. It does worry me a bit that he might only be writing stuff for the literary bookends of the games because with Skyward Sword it…

Lol, Brian. Emma Stone would be a TERRIBLE Triss.

That won’t happen. He’s a creative director, not a writer and IMO he didn’t consistently write bad characters. He was just kinda hit and miss and too often his writing relegated to Saturday Morning Cartoon material and really farcical execution of otherwise interesting themes.

The Doctors left after the release of ME3. Drew left before the release of ME2.

He said part of it was lack of creative control, but I think it wasn’t because of EA strictly. In an interview with Mac Walters from 2009 during ME2's development he says they had sort of “groomed” the shift in lead writers from Drew to him ever since ME1 came out and Casey Hudson said he wanted to change the focus a…

I’m just sad most of the Bioware vets are probably drained from creative energy after such a long time under EA controlling what they do with their marketing and extreme crunch-cycles. How can one not look at ME3 and see how that story was affected by marketing? “Take Earth Back”. Whaat? “The galaxy is at WAR”, “the…

More feminist propaganda. Who would’ve thought? I like how people act as if it’s new and trendy when there’s been great games previously featuring the stamp STRONG FEMALE PROGATONIST (TM) without shoving it in everyone’s faces and on every poster. The cool dude walking towards the view with something cool in the…

I think you meant it’s the best animation you’ve seen. I think it’s one of the worst modern things in gaming, the “cheat gameplay cinematic” I call it where it seamlessly transitions into a cutscene from the camera’s gameplay viewpoint but you can tell immediately when you lose all camera and movement control. Some…

As if 32gb is sufficient for anything either. I bought the basic version because it was white and cheaper, and then I spend the money I saved and then some on a rather cheap external HDD with 1TB which works perfectly and funny enough my Wii U now has more space than either my laptop or my PS4.

Nice going, Kotaku. Why not start a porn blog?

I just rewatched Contact last week. Fantastic movie. Any sci-fi loving person should watch it. Severely underrated and overlooked. I have to admit I have yet to read Carl’s original book-version of it though.

Yeah, good luck to them funding that, then. Boy, I would be pissed in Ant Sim programmer’s position too.

Honestly I think he looks kind of depressed. Maybe all the fame and superficiality of the connection between him being an entertainer and having fans who simply want is making him fed up. I mean, he’s been doing this shit every day for more than 7 years now.
