I heard about the build quality issues on the series 1. To be fair, other than the A button, the series 2 controller seemed extremely well made. I am a real fan of the textured grip and the slight texture on the triggers. But given that a controller’s entire purpose is “button pressing,” and the A button is the *most…

Double heads up: I owned two of these controllers (one controller that I returned, and then a replacement for it that I also returned), and both of them had the same problem: the A button. The main problem was that button presses weren’t consistently read by the game if the button wasn’t pressed just right, but it…

Great clips. The MW grenade clip had me dying.

I’m with you on the optimism (and to an extent, the letdown). I think as long as you go in with the proper expectations, you’ll be fine. JRPGs have a very specific style, and that style has evolved a lot since FFVII was originally released. Lots more semi-nonsensical plot points, verbose but vague dialogue that uses a…

Smart move. Probably still too high, but it’s better. A step in the direction. I tend to run with what a lot of people are saying, where the Black Markets are probably worth what they were being offered at, but the lower rarities were all out of whack. $7 for an exotic is probably still too high, but it’s less too…

Still not a huge fan of the New-mesis design. “Comically long teeth and spoopy nose” don’t hit the horror button for me. The other designs I like for the most part. Carlos’s hair is weirding me out a bit, but I’ll get over it. Looking forward to seeing more gameplay in the future. 

Cool. Held out on Ashen despite being interested -- had plenty of other games to keep me busy. Might give it a look now.

But why do they have to use the “Bioshock” label? Rhetorical question, but...why? Burial at Sea wrapped it up so nicely, dammit.

So in essence, video game journalists aren’t allowed to have connections in the video game industry, and conversely, games made by devs who know any journalists are disqualified from receiving awards/reviews. Because “Ethics in Games Journalism™.” Got it. Not here to say Death Stranding is the game of the year, but I…

The payoff on that last Death Stranding clip was fantastic. Sometimes the greatest twists are also the most obvious.

“I hate her [Ito] so much I want to kill her”

Haha omg that Hereditary tweet just knocked my head clean off. What a reference.

Hey, credit where credit’s due. Good job on the redesign. I appreciate the fact that they took the time to get this right, and I hope more people give the film a chance as a result.

On one hand, they need help. There’s a plague ravaging their populace, and without rations and supplies, they’re doomed. But on the other, they don’t want to foster any sort of cultural exchange for fear of having thousands of years of their own unique progress tainted.

I’ve done a loooot of voice recording over the past few years for my Skyrim mod, and most of it I did on a headset mic. I thought the quality was okay, but switching to a Blue mic a few months ago, I am absolutely blown away by how much better the quality is. I cannot recommend these mics enough, so even if it’s not a…

Granted, I’m not hearing the whole apology, and I’m not going to waste my time listening to PR Crisis Jargon: The Movie, but what you’ve excerpted fails, for the simple reason that the problem was not that Blizzard “moved too quickly.” The problem was that they moved at all. It wouldn’t have been any better if they…

That’s true, I don’t give Jalopnik engouh credit. Cars aren’t my thing, but I gather the content is quality over there. AV Club’s okay, as are Deadspin and Gizmodo, but for my money, Kotaku’s still on top of the heap.

Thanks for the correction. They had better not touch a single one of you all, or I’m out of here. Kotaku is the gem of this entire chain of sites, and as far as I’m concerned is the only thing keeping the ship afloat. if they try to gut it for any reason, there will be riots.
