Yeah the first person combat is why I’ve never been able to get into the series or its many clones. I don’t know why but first person combat in jrpgs bugs the hell out of me.

It’s cheaper for Kotaku to filter all the incoming death threats to just one employee.

Game development isn’t as simple as that. Throwing more money (people) at a project won’t always fix all of its problems. If a game’s features aren’t fun, what it usually needs is more time and iteration, not more people. And sometimes even an infinite amount of time doesn’t seem to help (see: The Last Guardian).

I’m an amateur at delaying games compared to Fumito Ueda

It’s gotta be some inside joke at kotaku to have Schreier post delays from now on.

Fucking hell Jason, can you please change your job? You got to stop delaying all these games, man!

Lesbian porn is like a Ferrari and Lamborghini racing down a mountain road, side-by-side, trading the lead, back and forth, as a stunning sunset fades in the distance. Male and female straight porn is like a gorilla jumping up and down on the seats of a 1985 convertible Corvette.

Ok first, you got something glaringly wrong - perhaps you’ve already been corrected on it - so I just want to say that the assumption of yaoi being by and for straight women is laughably inaccurate. It’s generally by and for women, yes. It is not by any stretch of the imagination exclusively - or even largely - by and…

I think part of “SE”s attraction to female-only porn is also partially explained by her attachment to her partner. She doesn’t seem to even want to look at other men, so watching other men going meathammer on other women might feel like a violation of her relation to HER man. When you remove all other wangs from the…

Ultimately, it’s simple math. You take the user base for the platform/peripheral, multiply by the guestimated likelihood that a user will buy your game (that bit is tricky, so best to err on the side of caution), multiplied by the developer cut of a retail game (which is less than half the retail price, usually). If…

By “Competitive Mode” do you mean a competition between them and Blizzard to see who can make the worst matchmaking system?

Huh. They really went the extra mile to provide an authentic FIFA experience - corrupt and wasteful, all to grab more dollars from the fan.

When you said “from the past two decades” i kept thinking you must be wrong because Zelda didnt exist yet back then! After all, two decades ago means early eighties!

Thank you for being wonderful readers and sticking with us through thick and thin. :)

I hope you all stick around.

I just want to say that regardless of what people say about Kotaku out in the wild, of all of the games journalism I have read, you guys write the most genuine feeling material. You love what you write about and it shows.

For real, thanks everyone for reading and for the support, every time one of you says something nice about the site or our work it means a lot. Probably more than you think. Special thanks to everyone who has tweeted at me about Suikoden 2. <3 <3 <3

Thanks to everyone who keeps reading and supporting Kotaku. We love you all.

1: Except that’s not why the lawsuit says she was fired. The lawsuit stipulates that they were moving her job, she offered to relocate and they refused to keep her on anyway.
