Aye, Schreier. Maybe, but if Tim and Heather join you to build a better gaming site I would gladly subscribe. Kotaku is the first and last site I open with my browser and it is not because of G/O. If Kotaku is shot and buried with Deadspin then know there are many of us who will follow the survivors.

Link us to your Patreon, Jason.  I bought your first book and will buy the second too.

Others have already mentioned the absolutely fire line in this article, but let’s just go ahead and reinforce it: shit like this is why you’re one of the best, Schreier—and why Kotaku remains the force it is in a world of bland “stick to sprouts” coverage.

Jason has been reporting on its existence since like 2016...

...look, there’s lots of reasons to hate Blizz, but come off it, we’ve known Diablo 4 was in development for years, they have a playable demo, only a complete idiot would think that this was a reactionary announcement to distract from the Hong Kong mess.

1. Glad to see Jason still works here.

“A new cinematic trailer for the game showed a group of treasure hunters fighting against what could be demons, or private equity executives.”
Literal spit-take. I’ll send you the bill for a new keyboard since this one got coffee on it.

Sekiro makes your feel like a badass with a relatively simple control scheme and a handful of cool tools.

They are not the same, but I love them both. If you dig quick thinking and reflexes, japanese mythology / feudal japan, and being punished until you figure it out, then both games are your jam. That said, Nioh is more like SoulsBorne than Sekiro is, your build is important, stamina management is vital and dodging is…

This is hard to say since aside from getting a handle on the combat every weapon has a decent sized ability/skill tree with moves that you can rely upon to make up for a gaps in reading an enemy’s next move. And unlike other souls games Nioh will spoil you with tons of gear and magic abilities that can break certain…

... On a completely unrelated note, please let us know the next game you purchase, thanks.

This is what I call good news. I thought Nioh would never get added to Plus and I have been wanting to play it for a while now.

I swear someone at Sony is looking through my recently purchased games and intentionallyputting them on PS+just to fuck with me :(

Really hoping Diablo 4 is good. I liked Diablo 3 from launch, and although they made it significantly better over time, I’d really prefer a smoother start this time around. Diablo 3 was, to me, really good and a big time sink, but it never hit that great level that D2 or D1 did. 

He’ll say it’s treason to disrespect the President. At which point, someone needs to pull out all his tweets about Obama and lock him up!

Yes, but it also plays into his “most attacked president in history” narrative and by Wednesday, he’ll be saying it was just a small group Democratic representatives and he heard they had paid some people off to boo him. Probably illegal immigrants taking those booing jobs away from real Americans who love him, but…

The “Veterans for Impeachment” signs behind home plate at the top of the fifth was also a nice touch.

Maybe this was just a practice game. We talkin’ about practice?

I can read this article and post this comment while waiting for the bus. Can’t really do Hitman in the same space, now, can I?
