Okay, how? How exactly does Fortnite supposedly manage to avoid this problem?

I’m sorry but this post is embarrassing Kotaku. All of the “sources” are Youtubers and Twitter posts. There’s only one link to an official EA site. There’s one link to a esports.gg article (lol) that cites a reddit post (double lol). And one link to a Best Buy store page....

Hell yeah for fans using this increased attention on the game to roast EA over the highway robbery they commit wrt their cosmetic prices.

How much of that map is worthwhile content though? Because I read this and imagine vast emptiness filled with monotonous busywork like so many massive open-world games today (looking squarely at you Ubisoft) but with the added fun of archaic game design.

This game is mid. Many better RPGs from that era on PC.

As someone who runs a site that does this, albeit one a week, I can assure you there’s little money in those hills. People simply don’t click on articles about games they’ve never heard of.

Remember when you went into a store and you could just feel that the store was dying? If you are really old you felt this way entering a Sears. Then it was Toys R Us. If you are only slightly old, maybe you went into a Circuit City post 2005? Anyway, I think you all know that feeling. You can just tell.

Did anybody actually rent the items from Ravio? I know it was an option, but every time I played A Link Between Worlds I had enough money to buy the items outright as I needed them. Then again, I was an adult when I played it, if I had played it when I was 10 it may have not been the same experience.

You know it’s a slow year for RPGs when Lies of P (possibly the worst name for a video game in history) makes the list. No disrespect to P as it’s a very competent and interesting Soulslike, but that seems like a stretch.

Look, I don’t want to be annoying about it, but RE4 has no business being up for game of the year. It’s a fantastic facelife, but it isn’t a new game. The same goes for Deadspace (which, FWIW, I think was always a more interesting action horror game than RE4), and I’m glad that one didn’t get nominated.

It’s fine, no one’s running defense for that abusive PoS unless they’re MRA folks, and nobody cares about those folks lol.

So a cartoon battlefield is too much to handle.

It’s certainly true that some good games, especially indie games, don’t get discussed much - and not just not on social media, but at all.

Oh, so you’re not, like, a cool or interesting person. Can Elon interest you in a Twitter Blue account, perchance?

So...did they just make a shitty single player Payday or something, realize it sucked, and slap on a bunch of mostly nostalgic celebrities in the hopes they’d carry it?

You will absolutely not buy and play this. You’re posting entirely for clout and it’s terminally lame.

Probably because he didn’t want to expose his contact that gives him boxes that fell off the back of a truck.

Why are you already concluding that Wizards of the Coast is the bad guy? People steal from Wizards of the Coast constantly. Did it occur to you that the guy who illegally posted a bunch of probably-stolen content on the internet might be a liar? This guy’s story is that he, a Magic YouTuber with millions of cards,…

I think that a little bit more understanding would help this situation. To start, I doubt that “Wizards of the Coast” sent anybody anywhere for any reason, because they’re a subsidiary of Hasbro, who have probably retained the Pinkerton Agency’s security services for a pretty good reason - patenting a lot of stuff…
