“Because you demanded it! Xenogears The Remake! Using the FF15 combat mechanics! Disc 2 will be a fifteen part DLC! Because you demanded it!”

My favorite RPG, all faults included. Chrono Trigger and FFVI follow up very closely.

Also not a fan. Either you can rush in get a couple of kills (depending on if you get a better gun faster) and eventually someone kills you or you can grab a shotgun/assault rifle and hide in a good spot while people come in and you 1 hit them in the back of the head without them noticing as the circle closing forcing…

Black Museum was my favorite episode this season because of all the themes you brought to light here. And, even though the justice was incomplete, there was some satisfaction in the end.

Why do Hot Dogs come in 10 packs while Buns come in 8?

This is a pretty silly “issue” for players to be mad about. Exotics drop in the game practically every couple minutes...

It’s gotta boil over at some point. Players are frustrated but they keep coming back. The game has had potential for almost 4 years now, but Bungie just can’t get it right.

That’s because the jokes aren’t inspired by the need to communicate and connect, like those of actual good comedians. They’re inspired by the need to troll their imagined enemies.

I love reading about shit like this, but so grateful this kind of drama isn’t a part of my life anymore. The long emails, spreadsheets, endless guild meetings, sleepless nights, emergency phone calls, anger over raid failures and ego conflicts, in-fighting and jealousy... ugh.

“we heard that you was hitting a cap in arcade mode and instead of actually removing the cap we moved the cap up a bit so we dont hear as many complaints”

The ONLY microtransactions that should exist are cosmetic, non-loot box ones (as in you know exactly what you are getting). At least in any multiplayer game.

Yeah, there are plenty of reasons to harp on Bungie for Destiny 2. The rate at which you get Bright Engrams is not one of them. Play a character up to ~280 power and you’ll have plenty of shaders, sparrows, ships and emblems. The only thing that makes it sleazy is the fact that they’re trying to sell Bright engrams…

Cecilia, I just want to say how much I appreciate your role as Kotaku’s resident Weird Shit People Do on the Internet reporter.

Hello! I’m Madame Tepe, and I have to say that we’re not really afraid of GM retribution. When we started many people reported us, and time and time again the GM’s said. “As long as it isn’t solicited to minors (e.g. ask before servicing) and it never leaves the walls of our Mansion they’re not going to act against…

I’m looking forward to it

Worker and consumer rights are absolutely moral issues, largely because compensation for labor and the cost of goods (at least under capitalism) is fundamentally exploitative in execution. Usually, we roll with it and that’s fine. For instance, I don’t have a problem giving my guy at the bodega a buck for a soda even…

Okay, some further editorial.

Loot crates have always been a moral issue that the industry (publishers, devs, journalists, influencers, and whoever else) has mostly ignore or dismissed and that’s incredibly screwed up. Even cosmetic focused crates, which don’t affect gameplay, use specific audio/visual cues and…
