Christopher Judge when recording his lines:

More as a general comment on teh games of that era, what is actually pretty striking in retrospect is how often the main characters were utterly unlikable. It was the era of antihero, but it somehow felt even more present in games as they just assumed that the players would most identify and cheer for dicks. Read more

Personally I hope they throw the book at him. My brother died of modified zelda save files.  Read more

I honestly think that the “fake OS within the game” approach was a bit lazy. It works, and it mirrors the original PC version. But there was an opportunity to re-imagine the file management system that makes sense in the console setting, such as manipulating save files or tinkering with fake DLC packs. Read more

I’m happy that you’re back, despite your terrible take on Bulbasaur.

What a thoughtful way to kick off what I’m sure will be a wonderful tenure. Kotaku, like the industry it covers, needs to continually evolve. I can’t think of a better person to lead that change than you Patricia. I look forward to seeing where you take the site. Read more

I would personally like to invite those people to go play in rush-hour traffic! I guarantee if those people were in the same position they’d be absolutely 100% milking every bit of clout they have to bring attention to this issue.

I’m not sure it would have been worth the full price if I had of bought it, which I probably still would have if it wasn’t for Game Pass. I think the game is weirdly polished (the environments and character designs are incredible) but also somehow not at the same time (not much in the way of a story, combat is simple,… Read more

I used this for grounds for a refund on the PC version. Super scummy to charge everyone the same price, and not disclose that Playstation versions get more content. They also had additional recurring bounties/rewards that were exclusive to PS4. Read more

This protection is common for community testers (think beta or “insiders” tests). Because if you stream it or post gameplay, the bouncing indicators, which are annoying to edit out, tell CD exactly who you are. Read more

It could be worse, the update could be determining that you’re not playing on a Playstation console and tell you upfront that you’re not getting a certain character.

I thought Cheyenne Jackson’s line in that trailer was pretty good too.  This looks fun as hell. Read more

One more reason for my little one to play XD

Are you pronouncing the second “E” in “severely” long or short..? Read more
