Yeah, if I can’t have a fully-loaded mobile porn palace, I’d rather just drive myself.

People here get really bent out of shape about difficulty in games.  Saying you should play something on anything but default, possibly easy, offends a lot of them.  Suggesting that a game is fine without difficulty options, especially when the game is difficult by default (most recently Sekiro) really rustles some…

Consider me surprised. I am one of the people who would squarely be in the dead game camp. I figured EA would just wash their hands of this after an “acceptable” amount of time had passed and force BioWare to do the same. Somebody somewhere convinced the higher ups that there was something they could do to make it all…

It’s a Star Wars game. You don’t really need to market it, and reviews make it sound like it will get pretty decent word of mouth, grabbing more people who weren’t immediately drawn to it by virtue of it being a Star Wars game.  

I saw the little popup from EGS that this was released, and based on the on-paper description, started the download. A turn-based RPG! Where you collect heroes to battle! Neat! By the time it had finished, I saw what it was, but decided to try it out anyway.

As somebody looking in from the outside, it seems like enough people will buy anything Pokemon that there’s not a ton of reason for Game Freak to spend much time and effort to make anything better.

My personal least favorite was Alternate Histories, but Fish Night and When the Yogurt Took Over were also fairly bad in my opinion.  Three Robots would have been better if it was shorter - it went on too long.

If you’re writing off shows just because they are animated, you’re missing out.

Most of them are good, but there are a few that are just... not. Thankfully the worst episode is also mercifully quite short.

I can’t remember the exact publication, but one said they wouldn’t be releasing an actual review because they could not finish it due to not enjoying the game. One of the Giant Bomb guys absolutely hated it. AdmiralBahroo, a fairly large Twitch streamer, did one stream of it and said, explicitly, that he wouldn’t do…

Yeah, Deadspin is what brought me here in the first place, but I started visiting the other sites (mostly A/VClub, io9, and The Takeout). I honestly only come to Kotaku because it’s the only gaming website that isn’t blocked at work. I don’t read half the articles here, and completely avoid some of the writers…

FYI, Drew did post this week’s Jamboree (along with this week’s Funbag) over at Vice. No comments, which is half the fun, but at least you can read the Drewy goodness.

Yeah, they really caught lightning in a bottle with WoW - right place, right time, right product. I think that’s why there’s been so many attempts at capturing even part of that market over the years, and most have failed for various reasons.

While it’s wholly a self-inflicted wound, WoW’s “backlog” of content is a chronological mess.

Maybe they should have announced WoW 2 instead of Overwatch 2. Maybe that would have gone over better.

I was on the fence about DS, but came to the opposite conclusion once reviews started coming out.

About 8 years ago I moved across the state, and the drivers in my new home are very... interesting. I know a lot of this is pretty standard urban driving, but taken together, it’s the worst place I’ve personally driven.

What are people’s opinion about PvE in Overwatch?

OW2 is basically just the PvE element. Looks like everything else that is coming with OW2 - new heroes, graphics updates, cosmetics - is also going to OW.

The short and limited gameplay trailer they released looked pretty bland, honestly. I know they probably don’t have a ton done and are trying to keep what they do have close to the vest, but what they showed looks like the spruced up the textures and models of D3 a bit, and then desaturated the world and gave players…
