sometimes the worst person you know has a point. incomplete though it is. once you dismiss EVERYTHING based only on the source you lose some intellectual integrity.

Well if they don’t bring them in alive, how are they supposed to buy them free hamburgers?

My Dad lives 5 minutes from there and I so far have not been able to get ahold of him. He’s probably fine but that is the Tops he goes to so I’m a bit worried. Thankful he’s normally an Aldi man so he’s probably okay. I just wish the half deaf pain in my ass would pick up his god damned phone.

I like the Kotaku commentors, especially compared to the usual cesspoll of comment sections everywhere else on the internet.

I definitely get the icky-ness of putting values on people but I really can’t imagine that’s what’s happening here. I think that goal/idea makes sense and am surprised so many people are…

Yeah right now I see it more as a really nerdy & weird way to count stuff. If it really is ranking these features as better or worse, that’s incredibly shitty.

If it’s just for counting, I don’t hate that some math nerds made an attempt to count the ‘features’ in an effort to improve character diversity.

Because unless you randomly assign values to various classes, 0 inherently becomes the baseline, the default.

Yeah but I would say that those aren’t “scores”. So defining one group as the value X and another group as value Y, doesn’t mean that X > Y or Y > X. They are just numbers being used to display the data. I can’t even imagine how these values could be used to count up to some ideal character, it makes more sense that…

Now what I would love a blog post about is if they ran this tool through their own employees and leadership. Would be more fun to see how things are skewing in who they employ and who they have in leadership positions.

I guess I’m missing what’s so egregious here. It’s a tool that visualizes their characters’ features.

It’s a shame so much has happened around Blizzard and OW2 to dampen this release. The original is one of my most beloved gaming experiences in my 38 years of playing. I remember not knowing what it was and being pleasantly surprised at the time that the demo was pretty much the entire game. I spent the weekend playing…

they decided to make it into a live-service game, it is entirely their fault if they can’t handle it. they obviously planned nothing ahead

It really seems like a lot of work.

S-E have a big problem with not understanding how to produce western games at smaller budgets than ‘bonkers-nuts’ (they fathom this with their Japanese studios, for some reason). Meanwhile Embracer basically built itself up out of budget and mid-range titles, which is pretty much exactly where a lot of Eidos and…

The best part is they weren’t even losing money. They just weren’t making MORE each quarter. Every goddamn time something like this happens they’re still incredibly profitable, it’s just that they’re not profitable enough because nothing is enough. Ever.

It’s a battle royale. If WZ is a royale with the Gulag feature and Apex is a royale with the revival beacons. It actually sounds like my favorite version of the “genre” altogether. I’m stoked, as it stands Infinite feels very content light, pulling for 343 here--this game deserves more players.

Any fans of the 360 Shadowrun shooter? I dug it.
You can still play it via backcompat.

How the hell does Sega stay in business? All of their decisions read like bad comedy imaginings about how a company could be as stupid as possible and shoot themselves in the foot as frequently as possible.

I hope so too.

I’ve never really played FromSoft games, but what was amazing to me about that boss fight is that—without knowing much about the fight mechanics in the game—it really looks like Let Me kind of embarrassed the boss. Like, if it was a Tekken match and the guy who picked Lars looked pretty good dodging attacks and flying…

Definitely Melania. She’s actually not that difficult of a boss (outside of Waterfowl Dance). What puts her over the top is that unless you’re doing a significant chunk of damage each hit, whenever she touches you (even blocking) she regains a not insignificant amount of health. So unless you rush her down with stuff…
