I’m just here to laugh at that fucking $70 usb-c cable. Apple fans are more gullible than audiophiles when it comes to snake oil accessories lol

I noticed when Kotaku has a strong opinion of something, a lot of their content becomes super slanted to support it. For example, these ‘as told by steam’ are usually funny jabs and silly jokes. I would have expected more of ‘x happened and the physics went ha ha’ and less steam reviews that are just quoting an actual…

There should be a RNG component that rolls a bad lay once in a while that absolutely fucks up your gameplay and gives you negative XP boost.

My read of the reviews is that the games come off as being better than “passing, but without distinction”. PCGamer’s complaints of it starting slow and taking a while to get going feel like if an English teacher wrote “Your essay started slowly, but ended on a strong conclusion”, which in my mind would be more a B…

In 10 years the next huge Bethesda RPG will come out and critics will be saying “it doesn’t have the charm of Starfield or Skyrim”.

I wasn’t surprised the producer of Final Fantasy XVI did not understand that JRPG is a profitable marketing term that has a wide fanbase, after his condescending explanation for his game’s lack of racial diversity. The game is bombing after the initial sales. They blame it on PS5 exclusivity, but Tears of The Kingdom…

I’m no flag waving ‘patriot' by any stretch of the imagination, but this notion that the lowest common denominator is exclusively a US byproduct will never not be exhausting. Future "Ow, my Balls" fans are a worldwide phenomenon. For proof, see your average interview with any given Brexit supporter.

To quote Ian Malcom “that is one big pile of shit”.

So once again, blaming your audience rather than blaming what actually is the problem: Poor writing

It didnt for minecraft in fact they released new versions of the game for newer consoles and two new titles in the franchise on playstation 4/5. They released Ori on switch along with the bards take remaster. Microsoft is a business and they look at the potential profits available and prioritize the most value for…

Oh thank God it’s almost over.

Yeah, it does seem a little unfair that we’re excluding, “FTC blasted by Congress and Gamers for doing their job [in such a piss-poor manner that a federal judge, you know, that person you were trying to impress, informed you as such.]” That feels like burying the lead, or at least, the byline. 

I’m as opposed to this merger on general, “Industry consolidation always hurts the consumers in the end.” grounds but like...

I certainly don’t follow all that the FTC does but if the stat mention above is correct at 0 for 9 then you really have to say they’ve wasted a lot of time and money. You can’t just call everything into antitrust court. It’s pretty obvious they don’t know what they are doing. (provided that 0 for 9 stat is correct)

I mean let’s all be serious, they did such a shit job it would have been cheaper to not do it at all. I’ve yet to see anyone call their strategy anything other than terrible. Even this site agrees it was bad. If you’re going to do your job, maybe don’t suck at it. 

Honestly, Bethesda games belong on PC anyways. The modding community is 90% of playing a Bethesda game.  

while the hardware is nearly identical the software isn’t. Sony has had a bug up their butt about doing things in the dumbest way possible under the hood for decades. for instance mod support for Fallout 4 was kneecapped by Sony’s requirement of all audio on the console using their proprietary audio format. meaning…

Exclusives suck all around.  Been saying it for years.

I’m still pretty sore about it not being multiplatform. Looking at the more recent video previews of it I think I’m fine not playing it but it just put a sour taste in my mouth.

Exclusives suck.
