The original Black Ops literally starts with you trying to assassinate Castro, become a sleeper agent for the Soviets, and ends with them trying to gas the US with VX-style nerve agents.

“I like those moments, now ubiquitous in modern gaming, where you squeeze through narrow passageways that obviously exist just to hide asset loading.”

As a 5 year Destiny veteran, reading about Destiny (whether via the grimoire in D1, text/audio logs in D2, or lore recap vids on youtube) has nearly always been more interesting than actually playing Destiny.

Bungie has built (or, rather, fallen backwards into) an incredibly dense, super rich, genuinely interesting

It’s going by agonizingly slowly. With BO4's daily skips, I was able to clear two tiers in an hour, and with seasons lasting 90 days, I only needed to play an hour a day for half the season to hit tier 100. With the new system, there’s only 60 days, and tiers take over an hour to get. At the rate I’m playing, which is

It is way to grindy for a casual player to reach 100.
It takes almost 1h30 to rank up one tier....

Not to mention, it was $350 with no tax to most states and free shipping on Rakuten 2 weeks ago. And $375 just the other day.

Nothing is too weak for voice chat. The requirments for voice have been negligible for years. A few hundred kbps for cd quality sound

It’s still an overly-complicated and inelegant solution for a fairly specific situation? It’d still be better just to have chat functionality on the console. Quit making excuses for Nintendo: if the Vita could pull it off then so can the Switch.

Umm...it still would’ve been easier to just plug it into the console and have the console use your phone as a wifi hotspot. If this is their solution to have voice chat on the go, its still incredibly cumbersome and using something like Skype like the article suggests would be an easier solution if using your phone as

They already have voice chat in their more kid focused 2DS. Sometimes they are just clueless idiots. You can’t even do background voice with this app unlike Skype, Discord etc.

A secret: this is my first big review for Kotaku. I appreciate the kind words!

September? This has been a VERY slow to deploy season pass.

Sure seems like it, although we’ll have to wait and see just how decent a library Nintendo offers. I also hope this whole service is a supplement to a proper Virtual Console (with GameCube games!) rather than a replacement.
