But isn’t this the kind of thing that keeps Kotaku in business and necessary? To watch/listen to a 20-minute press thing and then give us the bullet points after the fact? I know I sound like I’m being a troll or whatever, but I’m serious here. Advocating for more of this type of stuff to just be an…

I think it was more the size of the news, vs the flashiness of the presentation. And I would argue that some of the announcements were pretty big. Up until yesterday, the internet was CONVINCED that Starfield and Indiana Jones were coming to PS5 and that Xbox was on the verge of exiting the hardware space entirely --…

Yeah, I mean I get why they led with Diablo IV. But for me, I want the Spyro and Crash remake trilogies and the Crash Team Racing trilogy. That’s the kind of stuff that gets me, an Old, excited for these subscription services — legacy games and/or remakes of legacy games. It’ll also be a way to kind of stick it to…

The fact that even Sony has started putting their first-party games on PC is as strong an indication as any as to the direction of true “exclusives” in the next few years. It always made sense for Microsoft because they have skin in both the console and PC games. But Sony doing it proves that AAA games are simply too…

Heh, yeah, gamers today — and people in general, really — don’t even know how to comprehend it anymore when a company doesn’t IMMEDIATELY address something. As someone who remembers when we’d have to wait an entire month to get video news via magazine, I don’t balk when a company takes a week to gather themselves…

Personally, I think we need to get back to the days of companies taking a beat and doing that kind of more formal, more thoughtful, more clear announcement/update, rather than just firing off tweets to deliver big news. I didn’t see anything wrong with how they handled this. 

“Also I am guessing with GamePass there are a lot of people not buying Hi-Fi Rush and Penitent... so it makes sense to make money from them by selling them on other platforms.”

I’ve seen other people say this, but “latter” basically just means second half. It doesn’t necessarily mean “home stretch.” The PS5 will be four years old already this November. So saying that its life cycle might only go another 3 or 4 years isn’t completely ridiculous. PS5 launched 7 years after PS4 — I know it…

I love when multiple games in a single franchise come to one of these services all at once. Of course, I love it even more when they actually stay long enough for me to get some time with all of them lol -- and that definitely didn’t happen with Yakuza or Final Fantasy on Game Pass or PS+.

Just speaking ENTIRELY for myself here, as someone who owns a Series X, a PS5, and a Switch, platform exclusives don’t do much for me one way or another because I have access to everything. And I certainly don’t hate the idea of more multiplatform games coming to Switch/Switch 2, because that’s more games I can play…

This is a video game WEBSITE. I guarantee it’s predominately olds around here. The youngsters get their video game content from the TwitchTok and the InstaVine and all that jazz. 

And Eidos’ marketing department was SUPER horny at the time (remember the “puts the ass in assassin” ads for Fear Effect?). So I can remember her boobs being even bigger in ad renders than they were in the games themselves. Nobody was paying $50 for pointier, smaller boobs that they had to look at on a 13 inch CRT…

Panam 100%. Sometimes she’d be talking to me, and I’d find myself just kind of staring at her doe-eyed with a goofy little smile on my face like how I’d look if a real life woman I had a crush on was talking to me. My wife caught me doing that more than once lol (she’s cool about stuff like that though and just makes…

Tifa. And it was only reaffirmed in the remake. It was like seeing your childhood crush again, and she had grown to be an absolutely beautiful woman. I had the same experience seeing Jodie Sweetin on Fuller House lol

“If someone really hated TR’s gameplay, I don’t think Lara’s super low-poly boobs would be enough to put up with it.”

“I think you might have somewhat misread every single word in the entire review.”

Tomb Raider Legend is still my single favorite Tomb Raider game. To me, it represents my ideal overlap in the Venn diagram of classic and modern Tomb Raider. I only liked but didn’t love Underworld, but still — that trilogy will probably always be Tomb Raider at its best for me. And I would love to see this collection…

I’m just waiting for people to come for the slight widening of Lara’s midsection in the remastered versions. Assuming it hasn’t happened already...

“You need to understand their mindset ,to them porn with no dudes dong waggling around in sight , that is the straightest porn of all.”

I’m not going to pretend to know the actual statistics on the popularity or lack thereof of certain types of pornography among certain demographics. But as a straight man who has known plenty of straight men, I can tell you that it is EXTREMELY common that straight dudes like to watch girls make out. I don’t think…
