Maybe substitute the phrase “used to sell people the game” instead of “promised,” which I think is what people are usually getting at anyway. Because while I agree that “promised” sounds kind of emotionally loaded, I think it’s fair to be frustrated by how deliberately misleading CDPR was in selling this game to…

I definitely wouldn’t characterize Star Citizen as “take the money and run,” it’s much more like “take the money and stand there for 8 or 9 years, asking for more money.”

As someone who likes the Twitch articles, I really appreciate all the people who continue to make them viable for Kotaku by opening the articles up and commenting every time about how this isn’t worth covering. If it wasn’t for y’all making them such a reliable way to get clicks and engagement, they probably would…

They’re saying he didn’t charge for access to these *specific* mods, as in, he charged 5 euros a month for access to *all* his mods (that are out of early access, according to his Patreon), which included these. I’m totally in favor of this guy making mods and anyone who wants to pay for them having access, but the…

I’m surprised Red Dead Online doesn’t have a worse reputation. I got it about a year ago (for $5 as a standalone, which helps me to not care very much about all the stuff I’m about to say), play very occasionally with friends, and it’s kind of a shitshow. Every time we play, we run into some bugs, usually some that…

edit: Whoops, wrote this a few hours ago and it didn’t post right away, comment’s now unnecessary.

I don’t know that it’s a real 1:1 comparison here, given that Killzone and Killzone 2 came out almost 18 and 12 years ago, respectively. Sony was also in a different place, trying to compete with Microsoft in terms of shooters, which might have made them a bit less picky.

It seems weird to insist that the game is “tremendously” fun but then in the same breath mention that you bailed on it halfway through.

Kind of? “Quidditch is dumb” was usually a pretty common take, but it seems like “I’m sick of people saying quidditch is dumb, here’s why I think [it works/it’s good/whatever]” also got a lot of support from hardcore fans, too. I personally thought it was kind of dumb and those parts of the book were never my…

You might be misreading OP’s tone here? Just going by their track record of seeming pretty reasonable, I assume the “ugh” wasn’t like “ugh, ‘presenting,’ I’m so sick of people being sensitive.” I think it was more like “Ugh, what a stupid double standard,” with a side of derision at a big brand for kind of awkwardly…

He was a park ranger or game warden or something in Parks and Rec (the hunting episode), and was also a cop on Arrested Development. I think he’s also played a cop or two in Mr. Show sketches.

Wow, dude, you sure are making a lot of comments about these supposedly petty and worked-up people. Sounds like they’re occupying space inside of your brain without even being charged monthly for the privilege.

A lot of earlier Switches (like before they redesigned the box) have a hardware vulnerability that makes it really easy to hack it, install custom firmware, and play pirated games. And because it’s a hardware-based thing that Nintendo can’t fix with a patch, they’ll always be vulnerable to that stuff, so they’ve…

Cool! I hope you get/got into an earlier wave. And in the interest of optimism, maybe since their next delivery window is relatively soon for them, it’s less speculative and more solid than their estimates on other pre-orders.

Even if you get into an earlier wave, be prepared for delays at the last minute. They pushed back the last run of NT Minis from July to November last year, and didn’t announce it until it was already July. I never even got an email from them about it even though I’d bought one. The Pocket’s delivery was also delayed…

Burning a bridge with Konami after they’ve effectively exited the gaming industry (or at least, the part of the industry that produces trailers, buys ad space on The Game Awards, and gets attention from people like us) is in such a different universe than what people are talking about in this instance, though.…

The Dead Cells folks have really spoiled me. I feel like they’ve constantly given me cool new stuff, and between all the free content I’ve gotten and the quality of the stuff they’ve actually charged for, I’ve been happy to spend every extra dollar I have on the game (which really isn’t that many!) and would continue…

I love Elite Dangerous and still play it, but we’re not really in a great position to be casting stones or pointing fingers, man.

The co-founder of Streamlabs tried to defend this at first, and provided a screenshot of an email where they asked if they could use the letters “obs” in a Github repo as evidence of OBS being okay with them using and copyrighting the name for their own version of the software.

I think this is a very good article about a very interesting subject that is somewhat let down by a headline that sounds like a Sponsored Link by Taboola.
