Oh, it’s a game that stared in Hawaii played with these paper milk caps...

Yeah. It’s easy to look at the N64 and PSX and see year-2000 Nintendo as failing, but that’s not the whole story. Nintendo also had complete dominance of the handheld market and near infinite Pokemon merchandising money. They didn’t need Microsoft’s hilariously low offer.

I never understood all the cult about Mass Effect 2. It’s the weakest of the trilogy for me by far. It is “Secondary quests, the game”. The main story barely ever moves forward. The very last mission of the game was the moment I said to myself “YES! Things are FINALLY going to get interesting! ... And it’s over. What?”

…

“They’re not all perfect. I’d recommend avoiding the Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones and Pirates Of The Caribbean games” 

It’s the same as “Kotaku reports”. It’s a shorthand for the publication, pretty standard for any journalistic reference. The author itself is named only if relevant, past employment or not, or if somehow it breaks with the publisher stance.

Sure, I guess. I don’t know how people even notice that stuff when you’re just playing the game.

Cyberpunk 2077? Seems more like Daikatana 2077, am I right?

Other great snow levels:

Also submitting Mt. Gagazet for the music alone

I’ll always associate walking through heavy snow with the opening credits to Final Fantasy VI.

You forgot one.

“remember how you liked this game in 2011 before we crapped all over it, undid all the work you did to save every character and get a good ending in the 2nd? well here’s liara and some robotty sounds!”

Destroy. You don’t spend three whole games in relentless pursuit of a singular objective just to second-guess yourself in the final ten seconds.

... okay, Kotaku fans, let’s get into it.

Why though? The shitty VA is not the character you love so much. As long as you don’t imagine the person you see as the character you imagine, you don’t need to throw away your work.

But they’re not asking about the Series X/PS5.  They’re asking about the Pro/One X compared to the base models.  I’m assuming the base models run like crap with a slight increase in performance for the Pro/One X.  The Series X/PS5 run at 4K/60 apparently.  

This is a law that, if passed, will be easily capable of indicting just about everyone in the US that uses *any* kind of social media within a few years of passing if law enforcement pushed on it.

The only real solution to scalpers would be people willing to wait a few months for production to ramp up enough to meet demand. And yet, we are in the timeline where a whole lot of people are willing to pay 3x the price of a consumer electronic just to get their hands on it ASAP.

The only time we talked about large and small rooms in this guide was with regard to the standalone Sonos soundbar, and it was just a way of saying: if you don’t have room for a separate subwoofer and satellite speakers, this does a good job for just one bar. If you have a larger space with room for those extras, it…

if you can somehow figure out how to buy Spiderman and Miles Morales so they show up on gamepass I would be very appreciative...
