I would totally buy a Xenogears remake / remaster. However, I had read that part of the deal that was made to allow Xenosaga et. all to be developed was basically that Square would never touch the title again.

“Fantasy Tactics, Xenogears, and possibly even Vagrant Story”

Blizzard is like...deathly allergic to players finding any form of efficiency in this game. Find most efficient exp dungeon? Nerfed. Most efficient legendary farm? Blasted. Dungeon with high density? Flattened. Targetted drop efficiency? Deleted from the game. Players moving too fast in D3? Add rooms in the middle of d…

“Hopefully the action-RPG’s most devoted players manage to earn at least one or two of their most coveted Uber Uniques by then.”

I wouldn’t even call this an “explot”. It was just a chest that can drop rare items dropping SUPER RARE items. It’s a bug. It’s 100% a blizzard fuckup.

Didn’t we used to have fish for blocking/editing stuff out on title images?

‘[Your users are] likely confused by all the NSFW content you’ve been seeing’.

This is the most Cyberpunk thing they could possibly do.

The irony is that a buc-ees makes an even better argument as an EV charging station

Man, I remember getting the entire THQ catalog for $50 at an early Steam sale, including every Dawn of War game and Company of Heroes and its expansions. Long time since they did anything like that.

Ah being bugged explains why I’ve only got one from around 10 world bosses.

To be fair, there are barely any couch co-op games for consoles these days either. Much to my dismay. 

This is going to have wide-reaching negative consequences for future players who are going to have a really hard time finding VERY SPECIFIC information about the game or asking very specific questions. Most people don’t want to have an endless list of discords just to ask the occasional question.

How does Kotaku balance a hatred of crunch and exploitation of devs against a hatred of AI tools that may/will alleviate a large portion of the tedious work that means we often have to work crazy hours. Lets face it, teams are getting huge and workloads are getting massive. At some point it gets unsustainable from a…

God i get triggered by every AI article on this site. The complete lack of understanding of how it works and how it is used professionally is baffling for journalists trying to go to bat for artists when they really have no clue what they are talking about beyond "AI bad nyeh!"

You’re right, but it will fall on deaf ears. Kotaku has decided, apparently as a matter of editorial policy, to be aggressively ignorant when it comes to how LLMs and AI actually work. It’s much easier to craft sensationalist nuggets when you completely eschew nuance and forego taking the time to understand something…

AI poses a lot of threats to a lot of jobs in the industry and poses a whole bunch of problems but I cannot stress enough that “what did you use to train the AI” and “AI produce things that are based on art they didn’t have permission to use” are NOT the avenues we need to be chasing and will only lead to a worse…

Funny jokes and all, but they can still generate ad revenue from the sub, so it sort of completely misses the point.

Translation: “We see an opportunity to make more money and we’re going for it.”

...except the “inmates” are already the ones “running the asylum”?
