Yeah, I’ve also always felt that complaints about that were seriously overblown. It easily takes up less than 10% of the game’s actual play time.

Most people are incredibly awkward and nervous when they’ve got a camera pointed at them and they know thousands of people are watching.

Just because something is against the rules does not mean it is immoral.

This one is definitely going in the “every time Kotaku claims to be a legit news journal rather than a blog” file.

I was expecting an article complaining about the Switch’s battery life, but instead this is an article about forgetting to plug your Switch in and then being surprised that it’s not charged. That’s entirely on you, dude.

Actually, if you want a better assortment of quality comics, the best way to do that is probably to become personally acquainted with the people who curate Kotaku’s list, introduce them to new comics that are better than the current set, and also reach out to the artists and authors of those comics and convince them…

The very first game they ever published was Cave Story, which was a freeware PC game, and they somehow convinced the developer, Pixel, to basically completely sign over rights for the game to them.  They don’t pay him any royalties for it, they never credit him for it, and they continue to use his characters as their…

The problem here is that the video game industry is a bad industry to work in. Long hours, low pay, low job security.

You know, Ys 1 and 2 are still fun games, but I’d actually go so far as to say that *most* of the Ys games since then are better than them. Oath in Felghana is definitely a stronger contender for greatest game, IMO.

Consider that people like you calling him an unforgivable monster because one person, a known serial liar and abuser, accused of him abuse may have been part of the reason why he killed himself.

It goes in the game card slot. You have to buy an adapter for it, but they’re about $10 on Amazon. That does mean you can’t play physical cartridges at the same time you’re using an SD card for storage, but on the other hand, there’s no reason you can’t rip images of your game carts and put them on the SD card, if you…

Hacking your Vita is worth it just to be able to use a micro SD card adapter that is faster, larger, and cheaper than the official storage cards. Seriously, even if you have no intention of ever doing anything illegal, do that.

People keep saying this, and I think it is important to note that no billionaire is a philanthropist.

It sure does seem like people forget that the SNES was filled with tons of mediocre JRPGs. Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger were the best of the best, not the standard. For every one of those there are half a dozen Arcanas, Romancing SaGas, 7th Sagas, Ys IIIs, Paladin’s Quests...

I understand your frustration, but you do not have a moral right to get something for free just because you really want it.

I understand that this sucks for people who like to use YouTube to listen to music, but just because it’s not available on a streaming service in your country doesn’t mean it’s not copyright infringement.

Unless it’s out of print in Japan — and soundtracks for popular games stay in print for a long, long time — importing soundtracks through somewhere like CDJapan or Play Asia is very easy to legally do. It’s more expensive than you might like due to shipping costs, and you’ll have to rip it yourself, but it’s both…

You know they don’t just leave the guns loaded and unlocked on shelves, right?  Somebody who walks into a store with a gun and the intent to kill people is going to be able to kill a few dozen before any of those guns on the shelves are ready for use -- and people who commit mass shootings don’t typically expect to…

That’s fair; the way games press should handle this is to properly rake Bethesda over the coals for it.
