IDK his penthouse or something, still influencing American politics and facing exactly 0 repercussions for his crimes?

We laughed at Trump too.

I’ve never understood it either. I’m probably just old, but I assume it started on IG or something from some rich, fake person and spread from there, just like every other non-sensical collecting craze these days.

People expecting an FF7R like experience are going to be disappointed with this. It’s clearly just a polished up remaster with the same exact gameplay and the same good FF7 prequel stuff that’s been ruined by forcing a bunch of crap no one cares about into it, aka the whole b-roll plot with Genesis and Angeal.

You’re like, really hung up on defending a writer who sure doesn’t pull any of his own punches when it comes to criticism.

Absolutely not, why should Walker be held to a higher standard than any of the actual employees of this blog? My comment was mostly serious, if you’re writing for Kotaku in 2022 you have to enjoy doing it for yourself because surely no one else in the world cares anymore (outside of the Kinja proles of course.)

Yeah, I don’t know, he made two pretty light pop culture references sandwiching the commacidal offender, and I wouldn’t exactly call either one condescending or ‘small dick driven’. I had rougher criticism than this on college essays that still got high marks.

Hell yeah, Walker. Fuck the readers, you’re writing and posting for YOU, baby!

I also own a steam wiener, and I noticed that they’re selling for like 8 bucks now lol.

It’s almost like Twitter doesn’t actually matter at all and the only people who think so spend too much time on Twitter.

I’ve been eating raw cookie dough for my whole life, I’m not stopping because a blogger told me not to.

Yes, the failure to bring MH2 over on PS2 probably hurt it quite a bit as far as building up more fans early on. The official PSP tunneling service on PS3 probably helped some with Unite, although it required some pretty specific setup steps.

Monster Hunter World was the best selling game EVER for Capcom, and the majority of those purchases were in the west.

Today’s release is a demo available to everyone that will have the saves carry over to the full release.

“under 5 minutes battling”

Hard disagree on your opinion about P5 being a tightly designed game. I’ve completed XC2 twice and the DLC once, but I’ve flamed out on P5 and P5R, both around 3/4 of the way through the game. The battle system is slow, there’s WAY too many battles in every dungeon that are exactly the same, the dungeons themselves…

North America got every mainline Yakuza game even though Yakuza 2 didn’t do so hot. We got 3, it just took forever. We even got Dead Souls, although I’d MUCH rather have gotten Kenzan or Ishin, although going back today Dead Souls is a hilarious take on the series.

Whether you think he said tedious or bad, the fact of the matter is he used his platform to parade his personal opinion as fact. He either couldn’t figure out the battle system or couldn’t be bothered to, but in the end he colored people’s perception of the game unfairly and there’s no doubt in my mind that there are…

XB3 looks even more full of interlocking and obtuse systems than XB2 did. Personally I can’t wait but something tells me it’s not going to work for you.

Because he did not frame it as ‘This game isn’t for me’, he framed it as ‘these games are not good’.
