Love how everyone knows about how video numbers were overinflated and sites transitioning away from writing was a huge mistake, yet for some reason they still insist on doing it, even to the detriment of the user experience

So I was one of the like...six people on the planet who didn’t hype themselves to Mars prior to the release of this game

Why? She’s a billionaire’s kid from outside Baltimore.

I doubt they’ve been in full production for that long. Part of the GTA5 team stayed on to support GTA Online. A skeleton crew probably hopped on to pre-production for GTA6 while the rest of the studio jumped on to RDR2. Once RDR2 hit beta, most of its content teams likely transitioned to GTA6 (hence the lack of…

You’ll note that his comment has by far the most stars though, the overwhelming majority of us have seen how shitty this site has become. Most of the posts are paid ads disguised as journalism, and they don’t bother with any editing at all anymore.

I can genuinely say Kotaku’s writers over the past decade have been singularly the most amazing games journalists

Yeah, problem is rev 2 fixed those issues, and they still have two other models (visions and windforce). lol

Overhype and call it dropping the ball all you want. 

I mean, it’s not like EVGA had a fault-free 3000 life-time. lol

And no, that has nothing to do with the price. Gigabyte generally has more baseline card options, leaving the premium price tags for their Aorus line. Unlike Asus who does everything in their power to get you to buy an overpriced Strix. 

That, and…

No, no, and no.

I *GET* the complaint of “real life stuff came up, plz don’t punish me uwu” but if we’re going to be harsh here, as a functioning adult I’m expecting that you’ve done the necessary IRL calculations to determine if you have the free time to even ENTER a Control match, knowing the time commitment it would ask of you.

As someone who’s been playing Destiny “casually” for the better part of a decade at this point, I don’t mind this. It’s something I wish they’d been doing for years. Someone dropping out of control and dooming your team to a loss, sucks and ruins PvP at the casual level, as well as the competitive. Also, if I’m truly…

That’s what you are worried about? I am more worried that this is a Warner Brothers property, a company who may not have gotten the same bad press as EA and Activision, but is still very willing to milk their customers for all they’ve got, including using the latest predatory monetization schemes.

Before I even start…

You’re surprised that Harry Potter, a franchise with a very large fandom, has people very hyped for one of the few big budget Harry Potter games to come out in a very long time?

No, it isn’t. You, as nobody in the chat, have no decision making input on the process so you don’t have any need to nail down the metatextual terminology surrounding the differences between this and that that frankly the developer doesn’t give half a shit about anyway. They’re going to make a decision based on what…

how about we leave the grey area between remake and remaster be and not quibble the naming conventions? ‘want Prime look pretty, play good’ 

To each their own. Valhalla had great characters imo and enormous payoffs for fans of the series, and stealth was brought back in as a viable option. Several assassination targets had 100% stealth/only kill the target methods that harkened back to the original games.

You really picked the least Assassins Creed-y of the three as the standout?

You think there are Pokemon you can only catch by sending your Pokemon to automatically kill them? Makes sense

Yep. PinPointPropensity said it: magic builds. And they (along with everyone else saying it) are still wrong.

More accessibility/difficulty options in a game is always a good thing. There’s no reason I can see (other than an appeal to the tryhards) that a “director’s vision” experience cannot coexist with options, sliders, and whatnot that make the game’s content available to the vast majority of your customer base.
