It’s snowing here right now and I can confirm that it’s not that great.

Exactly, this is about yet another publisher just trying to get their own way. They despise Steam because Valve have created a better social and DRM platform than any of them ever could and place an obstacle between them and the direct consumer.

“But Epic has prided itself on providing software directly to customers...”

And yet neither the new Unreal Tournament, Paragon or Shadow Complex are available on any platform other than the Epic Games Launcher on PC.

Maybe. If not, his wife has done well for herself. She’s Naoko Takeuchi, the the creator of Sailor Moon. I’d say between them, they’re doing okay!

The have long said they intend to make Windows a unifying platform for all Microsoft products. This doesnt surprise me at all. This is one of the best moves they have ever come up with.

Pretty stoked for Black Desert’s NA launch soon here. About the only MMO I’m interested in now. Well that and Lost Ark but let’s be reasonable.

The first woman League of Legends Championship Series player, Maria ‘Remi’ Creveling, has stepped down from the Renegades team due to stress and anxiety, according to the Daily Dot.

I’m with you. I like FF specifically because they’re usually turn-based. I can hack and slash in every other game out there.

I wish they would at least give her a unique name. Or just straight up Link. This inbetween Linkle thing isn’t really doing it for me.

Eh, kind of let down. I was getting the understand she was going to a completely separate character that wanted to be a hero and could exist on the same plane as Link. Of course without Link being shown its hard to tell if that will turn out to be a true. But with whats givien....it looks like she most likely is just…

Don’t worry man. Kotaku is filled with console noobies so you’re going to get a lot of rage for saying that, but I’m right there with you. I’m also going to get a lot of shit for calling them console noobies. I don’t mean that in a derogatory way, I just mean they’re more casual and “nooby” to gaming in general, so…

As someone who used to compete at a very high level on the early e-sport scene back in the days of unreal tournament,quake and counter strike, I can’t endorse Halo and it’s lack of skill as a valid e-sport. There is absolutely not a single thing about the Halo system that makes it a skill based first person shooter.

Halo was ruined after Reach era when they introduced the killstreak rewards mimmicking Call of Duty. It completely threw balance out the window worse than before. And not to mention the shotgun has always been overpowered in Halo games since the beginning. Unless they significantly adjust weapon balance and make…

It doesn’t run as well as it did on the 360...

This is such a great idea for a game! I just doubt it will ever be satisfyingly finished. Space is big.

Clunky? It was anything but. I can still play stuff like FF 4, 6, or 7 today and the combat is entertaining, easily.

Hey, don’t be giving Square any ideas.
