Jason Schreier's discussions

It is all that and more. I like the gameplay and aesthetics way more than FTL, so this game has very much got its hooks in me. Read more

YES. Read more

Not necessary at all. I didn’t play the first one. Read more

It’s free and entirely volunteer-based, so yes, I’d definitely expect it to vary in quality. Read more

That’s the Xbox 360 version running via backward compatibility. This is an upcoming version for Xbox One/PS4. Read more

Oh my god. Read more

Or maybe Stephen can give it to his baby twins and see what happens? After playing with it, btw, I can confirm that this thing is wild. I loved the piano. Read more

I actually think the entire AAA video game industry is unsustainable, but that’s a conversation for another time. Regardless, when I talk about stoking controversy, I’m not talking about reasonable criticism (or even angry criticism) over, say, a game releasing in a state that can most assuredly be called pay-to-win,… Read more

Not yet! I know my gaming life will change drastically when I do. Read more

I don’t think Schreier is your guy on this point. He’s typically a good journalist, but he’s taken a confoundingly insider-ish perspective on the outrage surrounding lootboxes and more contemporary methods of post-retail revenue generation. You’re trying to reason with someone who believes the right answer lies at… Read more

Do you think ANYONE gave EA a free pass when it came to Battlefront II? Come on. There’s just nothing to talk about right now because the only thing we know is that they’re re-adding microtransactions to the game, which is what we’ve known since November. Given that those decisions are still being made, all we can… Read more

I know it’s fun to get REALLY ANGRY about video games every week, but there’s nothing to talk about until we actually know what the new system looks like, whether it still feels pay-to-win, and how unfair it feels. Read more

It’s not news - EA made it quite clear during the original announcement in November that the removal of microtransactions was temporary. Read more

The Microsoft rumors are thin and insubstantial, and should not be taken too seriously. As I said on Twitter: Read more

Nintendo also had some clunkers (like Mario Party: The Top 100) that would pull down their average. I don’t think Metacritic has released its annual publisher rankings for 2017 yet, but look who was #1 in 2016: http://www.metacritic.com/feature/game-publisher-rankings-for-2016-releases Read more

Casey Hudson (director of the first three Mass Effect games) first spearheaded Anthem (then called Dylan) in 2012, envisioning it as a game unlike anything else we’d seen before. Development didn’t go super-smoothly, Hudson left for Microsoft, and then in 2014, Destiny came out. Hudson has since returned to the… Read more

Who can forget this famous quote

If you really hate the idea of reloading battles, you might want to skip this one (or play on the easiest difficulty), but I will say, Divinity: Original Sin 2's combat feels like no other turn-based RPG I’ve ever played. So you don’t need familiarity with the genre - it’s unique enough that it’ll take any player a… Read more

I’d love to hear/report on updates if you want to contact me whenever anything major happens there! jason@kotaku.com Read more

There’s a category without this glitch (“no 64 door”) if you don’t want to miss all the Underworld/Moon stuff. Read more
