I’m not sure what a more neutral term would be, however.

Hey Mike! Thanks for sharing my mod! Glad people like and are enjoying it :D

Just completed Final Fantasy XV, really enjoyed it. So last night I picked up Quantum Break just for something to do... I also plan on playing some GTA: Online, doing some vehicle cargo missions. And if I have time, I may continue on my Lost Odyssey disc 2 save.....

The existential horror of being a kid now

Pretty much just more Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, and maybe some Overwatch or Grim Dawn with friends if they’re free.

I’ve fallen victim to that slump many times before, where I just don’t want to play the games that I’ve got at hand (even if I might actually really enjoy them). If you *want* to spend some time gaming (and it may be that you just want to do something else; that’s good, too), I find the best approach is the one I’d…

Nintendo and has solidified my theory that they are a company full of brilliant artists, designers and technicians that, at some point, got infiltrated by a mob of brain-damaged, glue-eating lemurs that somehow got entrusted with 50% of the company’s decision making.

I’m udderly amazed at how much Kotaku is milking this Nintendo Switch thing. We get it, y’all are dairy excited. But let’s not lose perspective. Some people have real beef with Nintendo right now, and I have to say, some of that is really a lot of bull. Still, if Nintendo wants to keep up, they really need to hoof it,…

And the arms race continues.

I don’t like the vulnerability but am impressed by the simplicity of it.

I talked to the devs at PAX east one year, and they apparently didn’t really like the duck tales comparisons. They based it on the down thrust in Zelda 2.

This comment makes me really happy. (Seriously!)

I’ve got to thank you for your encouragement to go minimap-free in games. It started with Deus Ex: Mankind Divided (I turned off almost all UI elements) and then I got to Watch Dogs 2, which I’ve played without a map from the get-go. The blue indicator line superimposed on the roadways is plenty information to get…

So what you’re saying is, that The Last of Us was so good, there was no point in doing a Game of the Year anymore.

No - we stopped doing that a few years ago in favor of this approach. The Last of Us has the distinction of being the last game Kotaku selected as a single, standalone Game of the Year.

This is an issue for physical things too - my Dad kept everything. He saved every bit of Syracuse forestry info (report cards, diploma, reports), all his Navy documents, all his school and reference books, he even saved computer manuals and books that have zero value practically or sentimentally like a 1992 book on…

Glad it helped!

He really is an awesome person with great humor! He is Iwata of Playstation. His tweets are hilarious and his interactions with journalists in the Stateside (Beyond!) were classic!

The venn diagram between 50+ year-old Japanese businessmen, people on twitter, and people who don’t take themselves too seriously is 3 circles loosely held together by this one guy.
