Uh... so, if he made this kind of comments, but directed at a male player, it’d be OK?

Imagine if they spent a billion dollars on engineering a storefront with no exclusive content to attract customers.

Then maybe don’t publish an article until you can verify the tax amounts? It seems really irresponsible to write an article that’s just “person makes bold claim!” It’s like publishing an article “Trump says millions of votes were fraudulent” with no follow up (yes I know plenty of outlets did that, but it was bad)

There’s a lot of lonely people out there I guess...

PSA for the PSA - if you decide to buy to own because you want to continue your progress, note that saves from this edition of the game do NOT transfer to the game of the year edition. If you want to play the DLC, either buy them individually, or be willing to start up with a separate save (IIRC you can start a new…

Reading between the lines, and agreeing with CollisionBoxer, I think he’s saying making a female protagonist was discussed but they would want it to be a meaningful addition, not some dumb throwaway choice that may as well not exist

Good points  

While I agree with the sentiment, but I also find this kind this both pointless and disingenuous. Partly because it doesn’t really address the issue at hand. All award shows are just ways for media giants to pat themselves on the back, but ultimately they mean nothing. So who really cares if Hades won GOTY, because it…

I as a reader am more interested in an author’s opinion on a videogame, not in an author’s opinion about the world and current state of the videogame industry in an article about ONE videogame.

The “mixed feelings” in the title come off more as overwhelmed ambivalence and fatigue in the article, than like you truly have had a mixed experience with good and bad game elements. Again and again and again you bring up things that seem subjectively good, and then qualify that by saying they left you cold,…

Nailed it. Bizarre that *this* would be what someone looks forward to in life. 

I’ve already stocked up on popcorn for the coming backlash against Cyberpunk 2077. Watching everyone work themselves into a frenzy over this was at first mystifying, but now, as someone who was just a bystander watching it all unfold, I’m ready for the highly entertaining train wreck that is likely to follow.

Fun fact: Xbox Series X is so big @XboxP3 had shot this interview inside of a working version of the console back on July 1 and nobody noticed.

Kotaku really just isn’t a place to read video game reviews anymore. The only likable staffer left is Fahey and the blog has transformed from “video games and otaku stuff” to “actually gamers suck so here’s 10% gizmodo/root content and 90% ads instead.”

This was certainly an interesting article that brings up some talking points more people should be having in the industry, but this is not a game review. Anyone reading this article in hopes of gaining insight to the quality of the game will be left disappointed and will look elsewhere for a review that actually…

Yeah listen, this review is horrible. I’m not sure if I’m reading a review of the simulator or a political piece on the plight of miners in Indonesia. So, figure out if you’re a video game journalist or an oped writer for the Times. Secondly, you devoted this entire article to Cloud services and ephemera while leaving…

I tried to read the “corrected” version and still couldn’t get through it.

I think you’re missing the point Riley.

I’m going to have to agree with Segador. This should not be titled a “Review” of the game. This is a commentary piece and, at best, a review of the cloud features backing the game.

It’s less about the inclusion, or lack thereof, of a mine in a flying game. It’s about the fact that any thoughts about the game itself are lost in a mire of pseudo-intellectual babble about cloud gaming in general and the possible future of games as a service.
