Absolutely and completely agree. Aloy gets my vote as well, and while MEA suffered from a lack of time and support to get a finished product out, I did think it was some of Bioware’s best character work.

That’s very disrespectful to lalafell. Never once does the game treat them like children and you’re there calling them toddlers? Krille and Nanamo? They’re strong, capable characters.

If your admitting it’s not a serious list I have to wonder what the point is.

Came to the comment sexism section looking for transphobia and was not disappointed.

I’m shocked.

I mean, gotta do something during break time.

To use my own work as an example, I should clearly never write about a lawsuit I’m involved in. While a case could be made that I know the lawsuit better than most, I also can’t report dispassionately and factually about the subject.

Kotaku has a very mixed history when it cones to living up to journalistic standards, but that’s something I see as a problem with how the institution reacts to stories that center around Kotaku itself. I’ve seen this site carry grudges into reporting far too often, to get far too defensive and lash out at is…

Which of the many, many power tools at our disposal should we make into a creepy VR sex thing? My vote is the sybian.

Wreden behaved the way a responsible journalist ought to behave, up to and including not divulging details of off-the-record conversations with Kotaku.

Other than his quick changes I didn’t find Deacon that interesting. Oh, look, compulsive liar. How unique.

As a journalist myself, I think Kotaku should have been aware that by publishing leaked details of Fallout 4 they ran the risk of blacklisting. It’s part of the business and if it wasn’t something discussed before running that story it would show a lot of naivety. Both sides in this did what they click be reasonably…

Game is so buggy even delivery is lagging.

Seems like you’re taking this kinda personal.

This seems to be a very popular suggestion about how to deal with this shit.

As a JRPG fan I remember fondly the days NIS owned publishing rights for Atelier for this exact reason. Though KT is getting better about not being complete assholes with DLC.

So the solution is to stop playing video games? With an industry-wide problem, I don't think a less dramatic solution exists. While it's easy enough to say "Don't buy Dragon Age Inquisition because clearly things are left out for DLCs", it's a lot harder when you ask the question "Then what can I buy?" Without a…

I think she's supposed to be the kawoosh.

Well done, sir. Well done.

Comparing this to X-2 is a false equivelency. First off, X-2 is not a main-series installment. Secondly, there are very few games in the franchise as divisive in fan opinion as X-2; whatever you think of it, it can't be considered a resounding favorite and at least some, if not a large part of that was a powerful…
