Ubisoft is positioning microtransactions and loot boxes as things that people ASKED for, when they have it backwards; they’re things that people use because the industry didn’t give them a choice. It’d be like here in Kansas Cox Communications saying that data caps on home internet service had a backlash at first but…

No kidding. GTA3 had really injected a lot of adrenaline into the anti-video game groups, and when that Hot Coffee leftover code was discovered, it really felt like those groups might succeed in censoring the medium. It’s like Rockstar and Take Two just forgot about that entirely.

That getting left in this remaster,…

Fucking christ this comment is some ignorant bullshit. You sure sound liberal, all right. 

“He’s more than willing to inconvenience the player if it means staging a perfect scene or properly conveying a specific emotion.”

I’ve been saying this about Suda 51 games for years. Which isn’t to say that you’re wrong if you don’t enjoy playing the sometimes tastelessly inconvenient things he puts you through. But…

The guy is following Trump’s playbook after finally experiencing a consequence for his bullshit: baselessly insisting he has been conspired against and vaguely teasing that steps have been taken to restore justice. At worst he’s a delusional idiot, but at best he’s a grifter looking to get people talking about him…

I know I’m in the minority on Hollow Knight, but I really did not care for that game. I think Axiom Verge 2's combat is better, it’s exploration is MUCH better, and I think it’s a more enjoyable game overall. I think people let the aesthetic of both Hollow Knight and Ori and the Blind Forest distract them from how…

I think Ethan just tried to brute force his way through the bosses instead of figuring out creative ways to approach them. Some of them you can use the environment to hurt, some of them you can use your nanotech hacking to affect different elements of, and some of them really open up if you swap between your human…

Jeez, I’m really surprised at people’s reactions to this game. I’m loving it. I loved the first game, too, but this game is so much its own thing. I love the combat, I love the way the exploration is structured, I love the atmosphere and the grittiness of it. I think Thomas Happ may have been better off not calling…

You come across exactly like the complaint you’re leveling at Kotaku. Fuck off.

This story smells. I have an uneasy feeling that there will be more about this down the line. In a bad way.

I thought the exact same thing, that it looked so similar to The Last Night, which no one has heard from in like 3 years now. REPLACED is developed by Sad Cat Studios, which has no relation to The Last Night’s developer Odd Tales. Tim Soret, them milkshake duck in question, claims The Last Night is still in…

Isn’t this the game that was the subject of an episode of Veronica Mars that has just one of the silliest, funniest depictions of gamers I’ve ever seen. 

Does it surprise anyone that Mel Gibson specifically chose someone who he was ideologically aligned with to play Jesus in his Jesus movie? =’D

All this stuff about how the Super League is just a shameless cash and power grab that will destroy the sport is hard to distinguish from all the stuff about how FIFA just shamelessly grabs at money and power and is destroying the sport. So, new boss? Same as the old boss? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I mean, that looks like a wishlist to me.

But I get your point. The lack of a shopping cart is dumb, sure. (I’ll say the same thing about Nintendo’s eShop.) And the client is buggy as hell and super frustrating to use. I don’t think the UX is very intuitive. And I don’t know if Epic will ever make the program itself…

Fortnite has made the company well over a billion dollars over the last three years. It’s clear their intention is to funnel those profits into making the Epic Game Store a competitor with Steam. Steam is so ubiquitous now that no one else is going to be able to start off small and slowly grow the platform while…

Exactly. AM2R can’t officially be distributed anymore, but it’s super easy to find and play because nothing every disappears on the internet.

Hey, what do you mean Sega is neglecting Super Monkey Ball? Why, they just did an HD port of its worst entry not two years ago!

“This one may sound like a liberal arts course, but it’s also a computer class”

Uh oh. Wouldn’t want to accidentally take a liberal arts course. =|

I’ve been saying I want an Arkham City game but with TMNT for ages. And Spider-Man PS4 is basically Arkham City but with Spider-Man, so I think we’re onto something here.
