*sigh* I remember when mario kart was more like this than stats:

so... basically what the original trailer showed us with the mewtwo group event.
It’d need decent rewards but things that didn’t feel mandatory for the people who didn’t want to bother however i’d prefer a manager game because i think it fits the setting better than playing yourself.
Why not combine both ideas? You manage your own team and, ONLY IF YOU WANT TO, you can participate in a match. It’s your choice if you join a player-vs-player league or play with and against NPCs.
I’m kind of glad. I find them a distraction, they kind of feel somewhere between a pop-up ad and a “collect the items” side quest in a game where it doesn’t belong (and I’m kind of tired of those anyways).
If it’s appropriate for a given game I don’t mind too much, but I don’t like generalized systems that make games…
Hello! I’ve come here today to explain something that apparently still needs explaining: Women play video games.
Wait, no one complaining about motion controls (as of this time)? I’m shocked!

For an AI that can hold, process, and recall an untold amount of information, a human’s only value would be its conversational merit when it comes to philosophy and religion. This may or may not be enough for AI to allow humans to exist because there are only so many ways to convey a concept. In less than 2 years the…
Suppose it depends on a couple of variables. First, as one person asked, is it a single enemy unit, or is the AI essentially a conglomeration of all the different enemy subroutines in the game that has somehow fallen together into sentience? Second, depending on the circumstances of the first question, is it going to…
Kill it. Nothing good will come from “accidental sentience” from an AI.
Unless you’re a programmer and are sure that AI can’t can’t somehow spread to the internet and maliciously invade other people’s digital space...then it’s better to err on the side of safety, then watch something like the Matrix or Terminator…
Look I don’t understand football but I don’t act like people are crazy for paying a guy who knows how to kick a ball more money than they’d give doctors.

If you visited the Twitch home page over the last week you probably saw the usual suspects: League of Legends, Hearth…
FH3 is definitely a poor jumping-in-point. The first game had a more typical progression, start slow with slow bad cars, move up the ranks, etc, then race the big bad in some race car and bob’s your uncle. FH2 kind of dialed that down; instead of starting slow and getting faster, it was sort of up to you what you…
The entire Forza series is worth buying an XBOne for. Just remember that this is also on PC. Future Forza installments will follow suit I’m sure.
In Overwatch, “Hanzo main” is a dirty word. The Japanese marksman has become a joke, an insult bandied about by…
I have been silent Kotaku reader for years but today i made account here to appreciate Jason on this wonderful story, excellent work Jason keep it up.
Great reporting. This is a ton to absorb. There are good pieces of lore they’ve thrown together. Osiris, Praedyth and the Vex is a fascinating storyline.
I was talking about the strategy guide, ya dingus!
“I once tracked down the author of this guide, Dan Birlew, and asked him how all this happened. He wouldn’t say. (“I do not comment on books/games that old. Please direct your queries to BradyGames.”
