Yeah, there’s very little about the PS5 that really motivates me to buy one right now, apart from monkey brain want big shiny new toy. Although the new features are cool and all, my standard PS4 is still doing me just fine. Most PS4 games have marginal load time increases, if any at all, and honestly as long as that’s…

God, this looks insanely good. It honestly just further cements my belief that all of the retro FF/DQ titles deserve to just get straight-up remade in the Octopath engine. They don’t explicitly need the FF7R treatment - hell, if anything, Octopath is the FF7R treatment for the retro titles. Could you imagine FF6 in…

It could have been anything, really, but it was most likely contract negotiations falling through, and that usually happens because of money. The way in which both the split and the amicable return was announced is super weird, though.

Oh wow, that actually is quite impressive. I only ever played the first LBP and I never kept up with the franchise so I know nothing about how they set up their infrastructure, but yeah, more developers need to do that. I guess the sequels were really more like expansion packs that were also stand-alone games, but…

Honestly I’m just shocked that the original game’s servers were still up at all. Are there any other PS3 titles whose servers are still up and running?

That’s most black hat hackers/script kiddies. They do what they do purely out of malice stemming from hatred of the world. These people have no lives.

You can literally say the exact same thing in reverse. There are plenty of Jewish Israelis who are openly calling for the extermination of the Palestinian people (one of whom is literally Benjamin Netanyahu - and if you don’t believe me, just fucking look at his Twitter, it’s basically worse than Trump’s right now, or…

Oh whoops, I didn’t even notice that there was a drop-down thing lmao. When did Kotaku start doing that? Highkey hate that shit. It makes in-page searching useless.

Anyone who thinks that the “harsh opinions” of Palestinians is a valid reason to not support them, or to support the Israeli fascist state over them, has no fucking idea what they’re talking about and fundamentally lacks any modicum of human empathy.

Interesting this article ignores Vaush, who easily beat out everyone else in terms of actual dollar amount for his charity stream. Has Kotaku blacklisted him too? lmao

Hello, whatever you have seen was probably a result of misinformation campaigns using highly edited, out-of-context clips by aggressively insular authoritarian-left extremists online, and that you “don’t fully remember” is exactly what they want because they want you to have a bad taste for him without actually…

This character is literally a clone of a white woman in the game’s canon. She is objectively not black. Nagoriyuki is a black character, with obviously African characteristics, and it would therefore make sense for him to be voiced by a black person in English. Ramlethal is not black, therefore this is (actual) virtue…

Yeah, we’ve been down the nuclear path before, and frankly, no matter how “efficient” it might be, it can only work under a system where both existing infrastructure and the people who are assigned to run it are already flawless. There are simply too many points of failure, and any single failure can be absolutely…

Wait, people think Ramlethal is black? She (and every other Valentine-class character) is literally a clone of a white woman named Aria Hale. This seems extremely unnecessary. I mean, if it were a character that were actually of African descent, then sure, but this is not that case. Nagoriyuki is an example of an…

I’m not even going to get into the idea that people should have been fired after the development and launch of one of the most financially successful titles in the franchise, but you do you. FFXIII didn’t live up to the hype in a number of ways, sure, but you’re clearly just bitter about it lmao. Lots of people…

No, much of what was wrong with FFVXIII, and much of what bled into FFXV, was directly Nomura’s fault. This is well-documented. He would come into the office all the time demanding some unwieldy new feature to be added or for massive rewrites to be done to the story, to the point where the game was never going to get…

Finally, a class for people who think Dark Knight isn’t edgy enough.

This has to be spin-offs. I can’t imagine Square Enix, of all developers, to so flippantly announce a flagship title for a flagship franchise.

I can’t speak to the broader lore, but I’m sure it has some significance. Yoko Taro is infamous for making even the tiniest details be hugely important, and I’d honestly be surprised if there isn’t more to it than what’s on the surface. We’ll see in a few days, I guess.

Legendaric big-dick phrasing. Stolen.
