The Farseer Trilogy, the Liveship Traders trilogy, the Tawny Man Trilogy, the Rain Wilds Chronicles, and the Fitz and the Fool Trilogy, all by Robin Hobb. Why? Because they are among the top 25 best fantasy novels ever written. Full stop.

What a motherfucker of a world we live in. For once, I'd love to see Kotaku use its seemingly magical DMCA takedown powers for good and get these folks axed. (I know Kotaku doesn't intentionally get shit shut down, it just feels that way sometimes).
First off, it could be the greatest live action TV show in history and still would likely not be better than the source material. The Cowboy Bebop anime is enshrined on a pedestal that will not likely ever be reached.
I've come solely to sup on the rage of Star Citizen apologists. That game will never come out.
Hah I got SSW as a gift when I was 10. Little kids have A LOT of free time on their hands to beat their heads against the wall in a seemingly impossible video game.
Someone needs to set up a Go Fund Me to bribe Sega into making a sequel/prequel/reboot/remake
Skies of Arcadia is in my Top 5 games of all time. Maybe Top 3. I love everything about it, except the generic on foot turn based battles. If they did a remake with updated visuals and an ARPG combat system, I'd be in heaven.
I only played Super Star Wars, but it is beatable. The secret is to farm the infinitely spawning womp rats on Tattooine to become OP
FF8 has the second best soundtrack in the series, only beaten out by FFX. The game is just a prop for the soundtrack.
Oh Ash, I hate to see you leave - you were the last thing keeping me coming back to this site. Love your work and wish you all the best going forward. Looking forward to discovering your future works.
Yeah well Kotick is a notoriously right-wing-oriented piece of shit. Just Google his political contributions during the last election and you'll have all you need to know about that.
Geology nerd here. Dolomite is an actual mineral. Just throwing that out there.
What sort of accountability are we looking for, exactly? This is a common theme on Kotaku for the last 5 or so years, but I’ve yet to see a proposal regarding what you’re wanting the devs to say. “Yes, our game about climate refugees shooting each other in the face is political” - and then what?
Im modestly excited for Riders Republic. And the Trials games, if you’ve never tried them, are a hoot. But, as you say, Ubi has this habit of beating their franchises into the ground as soon as they find a formula that sells. Far Cry 7 needs to be set in space as like an asteroid miner revolt or something. Its time…
Yeah basically if I'm playing anything where I need to aim and shoot, or anything that has me navigating lots of complicated menus I prefer M&K, though for almost everything else I prefer gamepad. Just got the Xbox Elite 2 Wireless and I am in love.
I’ve been playing renegade in my playthrough in the Legendary Edition. I was always Paragon before, but there’s something liberating about getting past that slimy, shitty feeling when you blow up some innocent engineers so you can shoot an unarmed Batarian and just enjoying the perversity of your wake of chaos.…
Obligatory please bring Bloodborne to PC comment
When I was in my 20s I rode a bicycle across Canada with three other guys. It was one of the most meaningful and formative experiences I’ve ever had. Someone on the writing team for FFXV must have had a similar experience, because they captured a lot of the vibes of doing a real-ass cross country trip. We also had…
Channel 5 News comes to mind, re: recent emergence of a new channel (although this is a bit of a stretch considering All Gas No Brakes starred the same YouTuber before).
Opinionated Counterpoint: FF7 Remake was excellent and provided so much joy and nostalgia to play for longtime fans, FFXV was damn near a masterpiece even though it was a departure from the norm for the series, and the two sequels to FFXIII are some of the most fun I’ve had with Final Fantasy games as an adult.
