Not a fan of the removal of fire system.  It was a fun reaching it yourself or shutting down an enemy on fire.  Plus all the characters had quips attached to the system.  The game’s personality just keeps being eroded.

They did that as well with AC: Rogue, which I actually very much enjoyed.  Shay was a way more interesting protagonist than Edward Kenway.

Even as a player who tends to want “numbers go up” games, Sea of Thieves hits the right balance with amassing gold, collecting cosmetics, and especially grinding out trading companies and commendations/achievements. I’ve only been playing it a few weeks and have been impressed how much I haven’t needed power…

It existed at launch back in 2012, you can even still find old articles talking about it in connection with the real money auction house.

That’s not at all how it was. Torchlight 3 began as Torchlight Frontier, a live service ARPG that was planned for PC, Xbox One, and PS4. From what was describe it sounded as if it would have been more like Marvel Heroes Online than a mobile game. I did find two Torchlight mobile projects by IP holder Perfect World,…

They extended the warranty on the elites. I found that out when I was dealing with the issue. However the product in question wasn’t an elite and everyone else is shit outta luck. All they had to “helpfully” suggest was to change the deadzone and refused repairs.  This was approximately two weeks after the pitiful…

No Man’s Sky is good now, so let’s actually support the devs on a legit site and not buying the stolen keys being peddled here.

I highly doubt this is the fault of any engineers who designed the Joycons. All three major console manufacturers have been producing controllers with faulty analog sticks. It’s far more likely that the quality in parts being sourced have taken a dive in recent years. Microsoft is the most egregious with their three…

Threatened to rape a woman and a pattern of misogyny. I’m perfectly okay with him finding another line of work.

For context as to why resetting the campaign might not matter to many people, this is only for the original Reassemble campaign that launched with the game. If your aim is to play the main multiplayer mode or another campaign, such as Black Panther’s, then resetting the original campaign would not affect that.

A major different between the invasion of Ukraine and US campaigns is that the former is a war of conquest. Why is public response so different? Because the world long ago decided that it no longer tolerated imperialism.  That is where the line is drawn.

Your argument is they can’t be scams because they’re profitable? No one would engage in scams if they weren’t. The reason it’s called a scam is because in the end a lot of people will be left holding the bag. You all are only so desperate to convert people because you need those people to complete the scam. No one…

My female co-op partner got annoyed plenty of times when she saw the really awesome full helmets my male character would get.

“It’s very odd, but for the first time in... well, forever, I’m excited to play a new Kirby game.” Agreed.  The last Kirby game I really got into was Dreamland 2 when I was a kid.  I’d dismissed Forgotten Land initially, but that trailer has me interested.

The result of the higher ups continuing to hollow out the sites on here. The Root lost virtually everyone who made it special.  I was done once Michael Harriot left.  But I suppose you don’t need an author of his intellect and wit if this rambling mess of an article still drives the clicks.

First off, who are you and why should I care what you have to say? Does every new author on Kotaku need to start off with some incredibly shit take on their first day?

The guy built that toxic community, he can wallow in it for all I care. Normally I have empathy to spare, but I just can’t for this guy.

I’ve had enough friends and family with narcissistic parents to know there’s always significant emotional abuse involved in that relationship.  Certainly you don’t need to be a narcissist to be a monster, but Kotick seems to fit the description.

Speaking as a PC gamer, Sony screws us over all the time. I’m not talking about keeping games exclusive, I don’t begrudge them that. However they constantly try to exert control over cross platform games and so many of the games I play have been impacted by that. They are constantly the holdout causing developers to…

The idea of anonymity breeding toxicity is an ancient Internet myth and a little disappointed that despite all evidence to the contrary this argument is still being presented. This is a myth that predates and was debunked by the rise of social media. Anonymity is sometimes the only shield a person has from harassment,…
