The biggest issue is that this strategy is really only available to people who are communicating on mic, and a lot of players don’t even know how to turn on the ‘open mic’ option...

Crazy how many features this game launched without. Can you imagine if the game had actually launched last holiday? Still, I’m enjoying the heck out of it.

Without spoiling anything (please), do you think the campaign will be more or less fun by playing on co-op the first time through? On the one hand, there were “wow” moments in Halo 3 that I’m really glad my brothers and I experienced together. On the other hand, they also RUINED the moody ambiance of ODST’s story by…

Does the online component of this game have a pvp aspect? And if not, what’s the harm in letting stupid people pay to beat up NPCs more efficiently? Or is the outrage solely because the devs slowed progression for non-paying players? (as one of the commenters below alleged)

Can you comment on the assertion he seems to be making that the NFL owners and coaches are overwhelmingly white? I don’t know enough about football to say whether or not that’s true, but I can’t say it’s absurd that the analogy occurred to him either.

A new way to look at the “too many swords” argument: If we use Mii Fighters as a way of categorizing the three different types of characters, then Sword Fighters are actually the least represented style of play in Ultimate’s final roster.

How was the game monetized in China if it didn’t allow microtransactions? (genuinely asking)

Having played every Silent Hill game to completion, I can say that nothing was ever more frightening than the PS1 original. The first time the world shifted into the nightmare realm and blurry, low-res babies wielding knives chased me down a dark alley, I knew things would never be the same.

The big lie is this idea that the planet can be saved if families recycle their cans and buy hybrid cars. The VAST majority of pollution is caused at the corporate level, and that’s why we won’t see things improve; because someone “lobbyist” is a career but bribery is a crime...

Charlie Wells and Misyrlena Egkolfopoulou clearly have no idea how reviled pay-to-win mechanics are in the gaming world. But as a teacher, let me say that society REALLY doesn’t need one more way in which teens can imagine themselves making a living off of playing Call of Duty.

At a glance, someone might mistake the two. The only indication that the 2016 game is based on “Answer the Call” is the design of the proton packs on the cover.

Game Pass is a win-win for indy devs when it comes to consumers like me. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve played a game for “free” on Xbox and then proceeded to pay for a second copy on Switch because I want to play it in the bathtub.

Full disclosure: I don’t think I’ve played online competitive Halo since the second entry back on OG Xbox. But if they have a good Firefight mode, or Horde mode, or whatever, I’m back.

I say nay nay, but only because I really like Halo’s aesthetic and sense of immersion; taking out an enemy and picking up their weapon only to be reminded that 4 Chan is a thing will really bum me out.

PSA: Sega Genesis Classics has been available on the Switch for years, and is a supremely well-done collection, not counting the incredibly bare-bones and shoddy online functionality.

My first instinct was to mock the guy, but then he got up and continued to play the crowd, dislocated shoulder and all. You gotta admire that level of showmanship.

As much as I agree with this verdict, I’m sonot looking forward to the cringy victory lap trailer we’re most definitely going to get as a result. Ten bucks says they use audio of Martin Luther King saying “Free at last!” 

The shirt designs in No More Heroes have always been a highlight. They’re so good, I even collected them in “Travis Strikes Again.” And that’s a game played from a bird’s-eye perspective!

So what about driving women out of state? Or an out of state person driving to Texas to do precisely that? Can a Texas citizen still sue? (also, the holding hands/pushing a wheelchair clause is like something written by Mr. Burns.)

Hopefully Kotaku will report on the patches, because if they do manage to clean it up then Colors is absolutely worth your time.
