He said six hours in and he only just unlocked Black Widow. Elsewhere I’ve seen some saying they are around 4-6 hours in and only have 34 percent completion on the main campaign. So pretty long.

No. You can immediately jump in to the multiplayer stuff right at the start if you so wish by clicking on “Avengers Initiative” from the start screen.

What the fuck are you on about? Who are you even attempting to reply to? 

For the portion of the internet that regularly reads pieces at any large video game site, or stays locked in on Reddit and Twitter, yes the multiplayer aspect is the wrong thing to push. For the millions of people who generally only play games online and pump mountains of cash in to games like CoD, Apex, Fortnite,…

The problem wasn’t the gameplay, but the tight lipped nature of the marketing and the fact the beta was an extremely poor representation of the final product. Which, funny enough, is what a beta actually would be. However, in these days, people hear “beta” and think “demo”. The beta build everyone played the past few…

No characters or story content will be locked behind a paywall. You are grossly misinformed.

I would like to point out that, after spending a few decades and change having a go at life, people who aren’t good at what they do normally aren’t aware of this fact. It seems like this was done with ill intent, but it could very well be the case that the team felt this writer just wasn’t delivering the goods…

Alexandra’s disappointment with FF3 (er...6) definitely hearkens back to my (based on anecdotal evidence) theory that whatever your first Final Fantasy game was will forever be your favorite/best in the eye of the beholder. FF6 (let’s just ditch the 3 for now..) is held up by a ton of people as the best in the series.…

This is exactly why I still have this game downloaded to the HDD on my PS3, and won’t be getting rid of that console any time soon.

I ate gyuudon at a chain called Sukiya obsessively. Every time I was in there I saw people of all ages and backgrounds chowing down. I’m not sure how it became a negative thing, but I can assure that gyuudon is absolutely fantastic. That being said it is definitely not very expensive. Unless you’re like me and you got…

I lived in Japan for 8 years due to being in the Navy, and gyuudon is a culinary masterpiece. Yoshinoya ain’t half bad, but Sukiya’s three cheese gyuudon is some of the most delicious fast food I have ever had in my entire life. Just thinking about it right now is making me salivate. Holy fucking shit I miss Japan....

Uhh...I didn’t lump God of War in as being part of open world fatigue. Like at all. It was an example of a game that sold itself as being God of War, not open-world Greek god simulator. In case you don’t feel like scrolling back up...

Ghost of Tsushima is interesting to me for more than just this particular conversation, as in my opinion it speaks to the general “problem” open world games of its kind present. That is to say, from everything I’ve seen of the game, it appears to be a fairly generic open world game in the vein of what Ubisoft puts out…

He doesn’t say that either. Read the article. He explains that when he saw that his initial reaction was that all those cheering the lynching of two Israeli soldiers should face some sort of similar horrific act to know how it felt. He explains that after some time, he felt guilty and gross for ever thinking that way…

I get the feeling that everyone who constantly brings up the bleakness present in the game’s narrative as its main point are either incapable of looking deeper or are willfully brushing up against the surface of the narrative and leaving it at that. TLoU2 is a game dense with meaning and heart. That the characters go…

Kotaku is FAR from the only website that tackles themes and the experience of playing a game in their critiques. The Washington Post, Gamespot, and Gamesradar reviews all confront and discuss the games themes and execution of said themes, and those are just the other three reviews I took the time to read. This…

This is one of the best articles I have ever read on this site. Also an incredibly necessary one given the current climate of fandom and media consumers in general on the internet these days. For me, criticism is vital to help contextualize and reconcile my feelings towards any given work of art. In fact, I often find…

I got the deluxe version and did not get a Carbuncle summon DLC. Maybe I missed something but the only codes I received were for the chocobo and cactuar summons, and a Sephiroth theme.

You can do that on PS4 as well though. As far as I can recall there was an option to use your main save to access the DLC, as well as an option to start a new one for the DLC only. I don't believe this is only a Switch feature.

“..games are more expensive than ever.”
