Why are we benchmarking the PS5 against an eight year old console, instead of its immediate competition?

Not to turn this into an OS war, but is this not built into the iOS keyboard? I feel like most Android keyboards let you pin stuff to your clipboard for easy access later on

I like that Balenciaga, the one with PS5/I like playing Call of Duty—PSN, fuck Xbox Live

I appreciate that you put the right number of "Doo"s in Baby Shark.

Yeah, as a PS5 owner, you totally don’t. I got it a month-ish ago because I figured the shortages would only get worse and I had the money, but I can’t describe anything about it as “must have.” The controller is amazing and a game changer, but not enough games utilize it yet... Most of the ports/upgrades from last

I mean, Sony is making the distinction lol. They mark one game a month as a “PS5 game,” to the extent that they never offer the PS4 version of that game

Operation Tango is quite the PS5 game lol

I think this is an excellent co-op game! The bugs aren't that frequent, and it's really fun crushing enemies with cool mod combos and abilities.

I mean

Most of the press reviews are mediocre to average? How is that “the next best thing”?

Oddly enough, as a for-profit publication, Kotaku pays writers for EVERY article they write!

But we aren’t talking about every game, we’re talking about Overwatch, which is a hugely successful PvP-only game where the developers are trying to get you to stick around. It’s designed to be a hobby unto itself, something that players always return to like LoL or CSGO or Fortnite.

Eh, I think it’s more the illusion of hype because the devs haven’t said much about the game for so long, until the past month or two with tons of footage and previews and whatnot. So there’s a lot of chatter and coverage from the press...but the majority of people seemed skeptical it would be particularly good.

Yeah, that’s what I meant by “medium scale non-indie games.” AA games, perhaps?

I totally agree about the overthinking thing. I enjoyed the 3 or 4 matches I played a on Switch, but every time I died I was thinking, “But how am I going to get better?” Like, beyond simply getting more experienced and spending more time with the game, I wasn’t sure what I should be focusing on/thinking about to

I feel like the community’s reaction to 5v5 was overblown. Like, I understand the reaction from pros and content creators, because this is their actual livelihood... But for Joe with 2500 SR—hell, even for most GM players—the rage and judgment feels mad premature.

Uh hard disagree. Perhaps most games of this size, made by a team of this size, are this buggy... But the bulk of indie games I play (or even medium scale non-indie games) don’t have a crash an hour. And other reviews suggest this isn’t a problem exclusive to Zack.

If you download the Shield TV android app, you can also find the remote from there! Much easier than having to navigate through the shield's settings.

It’s nothing new—dps has always been the most popular role.

Wow. Sucks for tank players in OWL, and tank was crazy competitive already.
