It was never a real cult. Its a semi-sentient place of power that manifests internal physchological issues of people it ensnares. A few people can find some healing that way but nost don’t. And normal people don’t notice it. The only reason stuff like Valtiel or the Incubus existed was because the cult believed they…

Hey now, Shattered Memories was probably the best Wii game made, that ending sequence was incredible. And while Downpour certainly lacked in some departments and subtlety was thrown out the window (let’s be real, even a 13-year-old edgelord would have come up with much more interesting monster designs), it had some…

If there’s ever going to be a definition of a bad-faith take, this article should be cited as an example in its entirety. It’s contrarian simply for the sake of being contrarian. Here’s the thing: thinking that The Short Message mishandles its themes jsut because it doesn’t present them in a fashion as deep as a…

The only true Halo fan.

It’s a cookie cutter middle budget Jrpg. No reason to see how it looks or runs on PC over console.

You can return games on steam within 14 days if you played less than 2 hours. That's a pretty good way to trial games that you're interested in. 

who that?

This person is the poster child of all the inherently uninteresting, banal ‘influencers’ that somehow became mystifyingly famous in the past 10+ years. I’ve heard her talk, watched a stream- and to this day her appeal still escapes me.

I mean they ignored MatPats retirement announcement so Kotaku is picky on its gaming media coverage

Exactly this. If you know Abby’s reasoning before Ellie has completed her mission, it completely blunts the impact of that reveal. We better not learn why Abby did it until Ellie has killed EVERYONE.

I would almost side with your argument in terms of the game splitting the fanbase and how the show should be structured to prevent that if you didn’t phrase people who liked it as “gave in to that manipulation”. Can you not possibly concede that people disagreed with you on how the story came across without them being…

the “Report:” in front of stories like this should hopefully clarify that this isn’t an original story and is largely based on reporting from another - or multiple - pubs

honestly, unizionation. it might not sound like anything. hell, it might not always result in job protection, but a unified workforce is a scary workforce. that’s why corporations are always union busting; they don’t want workers to engage in collective action. the moment workers realize they actually hold the means…

Satire doesn’t have to be good to be legal.

what a great counterargument.

Let’s not lose perspective, we’re talking about luxury entertainment here. Piracy isn’t your only option, your main option is to just not play the game if you don’t like its price or monetisation. I’m saying this both as a former game developer and as someone who pirated a lot in my past: you’re not entitled to take…

Yep - we NEED a “that guy” sometimes - and this is one. As someone who has lost his grandmother-in-law, mother-in-law and is losing his aunt to NON-Alzheimers Dementia, this is worth calling out.

There’s kindof a wierd undertone of “umm, yeah, okay, suuuurrree buddy...” about this article, but honestly, I think most people aren’t really super sensitive to this stuff as you think they are, except for when twitter/reddit et al. decides to make a mountain out of a molehill. Most people can live perfectly happy…

Cuz have pc?

I can’t believe Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is finally getting released, and I still won’t be able to play it for at least another year. Because...ugh, maaannnnn....should I just bite the bullet and get a PS5?
