Any small tweaks or polish will be handled by the inevitable day 1 patches and updates. Delaying a launch, especially within the 3 month window, means that something major is broke or some underlying system (like say multiplayer) straight up doesn’t work. It’s not like they decided that a story beat doesnt work and…

A delay of a month, to me in this case, doesn't so much say "extra polish". Something broke somewhere, and that caused a disruption in the supply chain that they couldn't make up and so the window slid. And for something to break in this situation, it will have to have majorly broke. Something like Sonic Boom: Rise of…

I don’t think Kyoslilmonster is wrong, in their quote at the end, but their arguments are not made in good faith (like many right wingers who find themselves removed from events in the past 10 years). Im also slightly suprised at the response from GDC. Over the past couple of years when there is a controversy, their…

Press F to Gita and Josh.

You both will be missed!

Can someone explain a Legend of Zelda no Up+A run to me? Is it literally just not pressing either up or A?

With the New Year, I hope I can get back into some of my better, older habits. Like many, the holidays become a time where it is very easy to slip into bad habits. Pokemon and Control are on the docket for games this weekend. I just cleared the ice gym in Pokemon, as I plod along. In Control, I just had the (maybe…

The trailer for MGSV felt like it was so much more than just a trailer. It totally was inline with what Kojima does, but I felt like there was a representation of what the game actually was about, in a much longer format than what you usually get. If an average game trailer is as to a movie trailer, a Kojima trailer…

Traveling this weekend, so not much for games. Maybe I'll get some pokemon shield going. Been loving control so far though

At least they gave you a phenomenal movie to watch.

I’ve actually tried this on a whim once. I only made it through the first part of the first level though. It is not as hard to wrap your head around two different relatively stable viewpoints one at a time as you would think it would be, but that is really only the beginning. Juggling your ammo, memorizing enemy and…

Still trying to move along with things after last weekend. I haven’t gotten a chance to play many games for long this week, just a bit of Pokemon. I definitely am finding it frustrating that there aren’t a lot of people looking for Max Raids anymore, or that they set up link codes. I’d like to get a Gigantimax…

Was Ray Park the Zabrak Cara was wrestling with?

I'll admit, I kind of like them except for that writing on the inside. I get kind of a sonic the hedgehog vibe. The character, not the character's shoes.

Sorry, I'm Shep Alistair's mom. I'm just waiting over here for my son to crowdsource his Christmas list.

Wish I was. It feels like the sort of that that is required.

I think the Gamer(s) of the Year this year should go to the writers and staff of Kotaku and Stephen Totilio i specifically. There have been so many amazing pieces this year. Dives into DnD, exposing toxic workplaces, retrospectives on why launches went wrong, and so many other pieces that I can’t recall while trying…

Players said they liked big butts and they could not lie, but Naoki Yoshida did deny.

If a ninji represents ghost run data, it should be translucent.

I’ve had a pretty traumatic death in the family this week, and we are going to be dealing with the fallout of that for a bit. Really haven’t had time for games. I played a bit of King of Cards, and that was really fun. I thought it was supposed to be the sequel instead of another prequel. I still want to hold out hope…
