Kotaku in general, and its writers in particular, exist in an incredible echo chamber. They create a particular reality for others to consume and then participate in it and promote it as THE reality. I think it started in order to create a somewhat consistent shared miniverse, but then it consumed them. Now, you read…

high lord wolnir is universally regarded as one of the easiest bosses in the game. still impressive as hell, but your first sentence is misleading for dark souls noobs.  there are a lot of infamously hard bosses and this aint one of them by a long shot.

Shenmue/DS3/Evil Within 2

I’ve gone from anxious, to enraged, to indifferent, back to enraged, back to indifferent, to deliberately boycotting any form of spending that supports anything he writes or has written, to the point that now I think I’m considering pirating the damned thing when it comes out purely out of spite. And then not reading…

If Fire and Blood is supposed to be two parts, then it will probably be expanded to a 6 part series with a ten year gap between the fourth and fifth volumes.

It’s like poetry; they rhyme.

Say what you will about the film’s quality (Lord knows I have), but that is some decent concept art. I would have liked to have seen art depicting the wide shot of Holdo’s suicide run (that’s more of a request than a criticism). That was one of the film’s most visually compelling moments.

Like Luke Skywalker, Henry Cavill’s mustache died with peace and purpose.

Wave Race 64's water effects were practically a generation ahead of the competition. It took a long time for the rest of the industry to catch up...and in that time a second Wave Race upped the bar again.

That’s some dedication.

Speaking of remasters... Bioware needs to remaster Mass Effect 1, 2 and 3 as a single updated game.

Screen time for Luke mourning Han Solo’s death? Nope.

Was Hux ever anything more than Starscream?

Now they need a Russian Bot campaign to make Hux a meaningful character.

No matter where you stand on TLJ, I think we can all agree that Rian Johnson is annoying as fuck.

Hux has been completely neutered as a character anyway, he might as well be dead.

Hopefully they spent some time fixing the combat. That was the major failing point of the first game (which was, in every other way, charming as fuck)

Who is doing the berating, an anti-aircraft gun?

I figured he was trying to get his fingers sliced off so he could enjoy the taste of meat for once.
