Why is this surprising? DLC has always been premium rip off content. WAY premium. I mean with these phone games, most the time the content ALREADY exists, you’re just paying to unlock it. That means every single penny is profit. And paying DOLLARS instead of dimes and quarters for content is just ridiculous. But hey,…

If America survives Trump, I can only imagine how this time in our history will be viewed. We defend nothing. We value nothing. We spew money on junk and spend nothing on things of value. We have no idea how our own nation works or what it runs on. Kids have NO idea how non-permanent things like the internet are, I…

I’ve found it mind boggling that more AMERICANS aren’t up in arms about this in general. The internet is a core utility to daily life in the modern age, period. That’s a fact. Ending net neutrality simply is BAD for civilians. There is no counter argument, the bile Ajit spews is just corporate jabber, he spews ‘hot…

Hurrah! I appreciate how you managed to throw that orange bastard under the bus to make a good point. You clearly aren’t drinking the Koolaid most americans are, your comprehension of what’s really going on is spot on. Kudos to you.

Calling this a show is kind of a joke, it’s a mini-series, not really a ‘show’ in the typical sense to me since it ends rather abruptly and has no sense of conclusion in anyway, in the contrary it actually ends right when you feel the adventure is about to really begin. Overall it was excellent, but so insanely short…

“suing for damages” because it hurt this unknown nothing musician from a bygone era to have his music brought back from the dead and introduced to a new audience. Yep... sounds reeeeeal bad for his career... well ya know, his career that exists again thanks to Bethesda, since how many of those ‘kids’ he referred to…

The issue for Sony is they have little incentive to support cross platform. See M$ owns everything else basically, PC’s and Xbox are both their platforms, that’s essentially 2/3's of the major gaming market (Nintendo is a niche, not a major. Not based on profit but on technology, Nintendo won’t have the new CoD for…

Got ARK on PC on a steam sale for like $15. It is fun, that’s for sure. But it is essentially Minecraft with Dinosaurs. It isn’t worth $60, no way. Only exception is if you’re one of those people with a group of friends that commit to a game as a group. ya know the type, a new MMO or something comes out, they all buy…

Yeah, I mean the game has pretty much sold to most of the interested parties. I can’t imagine anyone who was interested hasn’t bought it by this point. I mean it is one thing when a game is new to early access and you never know if it’s going to make it to the end or how it will pan out, but after a year+ of it being…

It still requires a pretty beefy system to run in a way that doesn’t hurt your eyes. While they’ve been packing content like crazy, they’ve also been using the ‘community’ to generate a lot of that content at little effort/cost to themselves. They’ve been working on the engine, but in the end they focused much more on…

This is great stuff. Like no matter how much I read about the country falling apart and how ridiculously delusional the Right is, something always pops up and points out that they’re even more hate filled and ignorant than expected. I wish they’d just drop the act and start lynching people already, then at least we…

There’s that Sony Elitism again, whew, for a moment I’d thought they’d finally learned from the Ps3. They focused on Indies years ago because they realized they’d become so elitist they had completely started to lose a marketable message to the broad market. So they went to indies because it was a buzzword to grab…

They don’t think that, they’re investing in it. The joke is they’re leaning from Indie and to VR because of where their profit is. It isn’t about consumer satisfaction, it’s about retailer satisfaction.

I’d be interested in global sales opposed to Japan. Nintendo always is a knockout in Japan, even when the console (Wii U) sucks. Japan doesn’t care about the hardware quality, they just need their Mario, Zelda and goofy game fix and Nintendo has that market cornered. Oh and Metroid. I mean let’s not pretend Nintendo…

Charging the Streamers just sounds like Paypal figuring someone owes them money for essentially nothing and since the person with the card has a bank/credit company on their side, they’ll just go after the person who doesn’t have a corporate shield. It’s a pretty weak thing to do. It’s one thing if the donation goes…

Hey KIRK, you’re right Kotaku poll isn’t super scientific so here ya go.

I don’t believe they make the old sets anymore no, I think there are some environmental laws that prohibit them from being made any longer, but you can still get some very cheap 720 sets from Walmart from time to time. Either way though, you clearly get my point, just buying something with a 4k label is ridiculous.…

 You’re right, the Xb1x is a good hardware deal. However complaining is American, if people don’t voice their desires for better, what will push ‘better’? The goal is to get the best for the lowest price, not to justify paying whatever corporations demand for something, corporations are not people and have no purpose…

I’m not sure why people are so ‘shocked’ by the Xb1x. Seriously, the ‘rumors’ that Scorpio would have interchangeable hardware was clearly a misinterpretation of intent. They simply are switching to a ‘stepping stone’ product plan, they’ll just release a newer slightly better console everyone 1-3 years (depending on…

A lot of console gamers don’t care about 4k from what I’ve gathered. Also, stop acting like money isn’t a thing. It’s childish to act like we should all have unlimited funds for toys and those of us that can’t afford something are some how lesser than you or anyone. It’s really pathetic that you try to demean people…
