Nah. Me too. Then again I’ve dumped about 50 hours into ARK: Survival Evolved. I’m a sucker for that crap.

That’s not weird at all. This is precisely the sort of thing I’ve always wanted in a Bethesda title. Hearthfire was a nice nod in that direction with Skyrim, but this is just on an entirely different level. Anything that allows me to feel like I’m building something that’s my own (not just a housing unit with some…

No doubt the idea came from the success of the Real Time Settlers mod from Fallout 3. Wickedly fun and added a game within a game. I agree that the town management looks really cool.

I already know I’m going to spend waaaay too much time on that “optional” part of the game.

No way, dude, I’m just as psyched. the fact that you can build your own settlement and have an economy means that you actually affect the world around you more than in any previous game in the franchise. The new crafting system based on item properties instead of specific items is a spectacular idea, too, and the…

Seriously one of my biggest complaints with Fallout is that I always want to participate in rebuilding civilization but never really could (minus mods, dlc, etc). Now we get it, out of the box, to a CRAZY level (you see the things they were building — nearly Minecraft-ian but with limited area of course) and you can…

This got me the most excited I’ve been in awhile, the fact that people and vendors show up over time is brilliant. Reminds me of old Star Wars Galaxies.

Meh, they missed a few release dates and a few F2P releases. If you look at what they actually delivered overall (and not just what they promised) PS4 offered up the most value. Unless you think Sunset Overdrive and that Ori platformer game more than make up for Bloodborne and ALL the indie titles PS4 got that Xbox…

Did you read the same thing I did? The only ones that were completely wrong were in regards to release dates (UC 3 being the big one) and in regards to the number of F2P games coming. I was impressed hat almost every single one was right actually....

What life decisions do cause someone to be poor? You think people decide not to get an education? To be unemployed or in a low paying job? To grow up in a poor family in a poor neighborhood and go to a poor school, because atleast in US social mobility is fucking awful so most poor people are just born to be poor.

Last gen versions are not good for anybody in the long term.

Yeah some people struggle bud no need to pass judgement like a douche lord. People like you make me sick, you know I struggled like you for years to get the opportunity to do well for myself and the difference between you and me is that I never forgot what it’s like to struggle.

Yeah, just be completely miserable and allow yourself zero enjoyment of anything until you magically make more money. God forbid you save up extra to have a modicum of entertainment and escape from the shit hole existence that is being poor in America.

Dude, they didn’t come on here for some shitty lecture about how they need to improve their life and suffer like mad in order to do so, so preaching about how they're not doing things right is cuntish.

Millions of people are reading and talking about something and you think a reporter shouldn’t post about it and add clarification where they can? Weird!

I think you’re misunderstanding. (Maybe I’m not being clear?) People are believing this rumor because they believe she was correct about details like Boston and voiced protagonists. I am stressing that Kotaku reported those things first not because we deserve credit but because that’s where the rumormonger saw them in…

I’d like to see something kind of borrow from Dark Cloud but be less grindy.

True, but a racing game is one that probably shouldn’t have an always online requirement. There should be a way for you to just enjoy the game in a single player mode or in couch multiplayer without having to be online.

Oh hey. I always wanted an RPG with town building elements. Though it seems too “MMOy”, not to mention being designed for mobile dampers my interest. I am conflicted.

Question: Why do you only EVER really comment at io9 to say something triggery and agenda-backed?
