FF7-R does not replace FF7; not least because it’s a pseudo-sequel to the original.

I think people were expecting Shrek or the recent Puss in Boots. A movie that kids could enjoy and adults could as well. Not a movie explicitly for kids and not really anyone else. 

Well, if your goal is to farm Steam points for use in the Points Shop, then leaving a /s is antithetical to those ends.

So I will throw in here that that Steam post from the tweet in the article is almost certainly parody and not genuine, though it is mocking genuine arguments that are present on the Steam Forums they seem to have witnessed.

Why do they always have to make it a Tesla ad?

In the case of groceries, I sure hope that BNPL is being used predominantly by people to access promotions of some sort. Because if more people are being forced to use BNPL just to put food on the table, that’s a terrible leading economic indicator.

Broken record time: of the 35 states that require vehicle inspections, most of them are failing at their job. That’s not saying we don’t need inspections, we need them done correctly, more than ever.

The audacity of the tire to come back for a final mocking hit is really the icing on the cake here.

I can’t judge the translation, but the Like a Dragon series has some of the best writing in gaming ever. It hits the emotional notes, etc. well but what makes it really stand out is the comedy.

Honestly when it comes to Resident Evil and skirts the only thing I want to know is why Jill was wearing a mini skirt and halter top in the original RE3. It’s not like she was going out on a date when the outbreak occurred; she had spent days preparing to escape Raccoon City and zombies had already started showing up…

“Games like FFVII recontextualized the skirt as feminine clothing item not only for women to wear, but to be sexualized in.”

This strikes me as an odd blanket statement. Skirts have been sexualized for far longer than their appearance in videogames, and their usage in games is reflective of their usage in reality…

Fr! I was ready to write this off as another weird kotaku opinion piece but wtf that comment about it being homophobic is not cool at all! Does Kotaku not have editors who check these before they go out cause fucking hell this article has no chill...

Akechi in P5 is a sociopathic murderer, and in Royal, Atlus added a bunch of material to try to rehabilitate him just because he was a fan favorite.

He’s dead.  Also, fuck off with calling this homophobia... they have no reason to bring Akechi back just because he was your favorite character.  There is no reason to equate that to the hatred and violence people have against homosexuals...

Actually to add on to this, you know who REALLY need more time for character development than shit head cop? Fucking Haru.

The only thing to like about Akechi is Robbie Daymond once again blowing out his voicebox- that guy goes whole hog into insane/ menacing in every role and I am HERE for it.

Akechi is a genuinely awful person. Having a bad childhood doesn’t excuse becoming a monster when you get older, and he is very clearly smart enough to know everything he did was horribly wrong. 

Akechi was the most predictable character in the game and had a shit tier excuse for who he was, one that we’ve seen millions of times and, I would be okay with him being in the next Persona game just so I could beat his ass again. And no, Royal did nothing for him as someone who only played Royal and not the…

Akechi is a cop that murdered Futabas mother, which in turn made Sad Coffee Dad Sojiro a bachelor for life. There is nothing to like with this kid. I’m glad he died and I hope he is revived to die again. Fight me.

And what kind of manly man would “fear for his life” if someone throws a water bottle at his car?
