I enjoy the game and am probably going to get a ton of hours out of it, but that said, I can’t really recommend it with a $50 level of earnest. $30 seems better, based on nothing but a feeling. I’m not sorry I bought it, but I don’t know how confident I am in saying that you won’t be. If that make sense.

I find the game pretty infectious. Combat was a bit weird for me at first, but then once I realized that I was using generally the same approach to enemies in this game that I do in Bloodborne (just from a different camera angle), things really fell into place. But the thing I really enjoy are the boss fights. Dungeon…

Is this satire? If not, yikes. 

Am I the only one that is getting tired of younger generations giving their opinion on games as if they were around when they were initially released?

Not even being able to back it up or one-way transfer in case of system failure is not a “non-issue.” That’s ridiculous nonsense that has no place in a game in 2020.

Why are you keeping sealed games in your possession that you don’t want? How’d you even get them? You could sell those off if you don’t want them? That’s weird, dude.

None of this surprises me. My wife and are friends with a couple of RWA members, and were friends with another. As writers ourselves (non-romance) we’ve been to a handful of RWA events with our RWA friends and there is an odd sort of toxic pleasantness that the writers seem to exhibit towards one another. The way they…

This was a very good read. Thank you, Kelly.

Another year another sad omission, I wish Kotaku would feature more people than andy :( there are many of out there who have gained some bit of notoriety through photo mode and it would be a treat to see Kotaku do a piece on the virtual photography community as a whole either way i’ll share some of my fav... also…

A plain red shirt is admittedly also much easier to animate than one with a distinct pattern like that on it.

Why does it always seem like no one even mentions JRPGs or other Japanese games when the topic of console exclusives, particularly third-party exclusives, comes up?

Not that your point about gamefreak isn’t on point, I would like to point out that when dog training you need to reward good behavior or give alternatives instead of punishing (withholding affection being a form of punishment). I strongly suggest looking into positive reinforcement for training if you get the chance!

I’m a pretty casual pokemon player but I’ve really enjoyed Sword. The wild region is awesome and I’ve actually liked the fact that you can (for the most part) pick and choose what wild pokemon you want to battle. If you were never the sort to care about catching em all I suggest giving it a try.

It’s very important that the game where I fight sentient fluids as a magical cow person that shoots moon lasers has accurate gene propagation mechanics.

Yeah, and real world humans all descended from central African hunter-gatherers, but we don’t all still look like central African hunter-gatherers.

I’ve played over 200 escape rooms, so here’s what springs to mind:

I’ll tell you why I’m getting it. I have a PS4 Pro, a Switch and a 60" TV in my living room. One of my kids has an Xbox and 40" in his room, I also have a 50" in my bedroom. We also have 2 Pixelbook and 1 Acer Chromebook.

I was not prepared for this many alternate timelines appearing at once.

It’s ok people, they’re only D6's.  If they were D4's, we’d have a full on Lego situation on our hands.
