Jason Schreier's discussions

Are you saying we should stick to sports? Read more

Yeah I have no idea why it’s so opaque - the process is basically “someone on the staff happens to see your comment and think to un-grey you.” Given that we’re understaffed and reporting/writing/playing games/editing all day, none of us actually have the desire or bandwidth to spend much time looking for commenters to… Read more

Our parent company is a mess and the comments barely even work these days, so I’ve been checking them less (which is a bummer, because I love engaging with Kotaku readers) - you’re ungreyed now if it helps! Read more

Yeah, I’m ribbing a multi-billion-dollar publisher for being misleading in its PR. If you don’t like that, there are plenty of more PR-friendly reporters and websites out there to follow! Read more

I like to think that one of the cool things about Kotaku is that you can come here for more information than you’ll get from a publisher’s press release. This is a good example of that. It’s not necessarily controversial or explosive info — it’s just context that you won’t find anywhere else. Read more

No disc drive = no used games, which gets all the game publishers drooling. Read more

To be fair, she was only three weeks old. Read more

Towards the end there was a period that felt like a bit of a slog to me because I didn’t know what to do next, and I should note that I’m a fast reader, so 26 hours might be on the low end of the spectrum. But this is the rare game that justifies its length. There are no obnoxious filler quests or parts that feel like… Read more

I’m pessimistic about the number of people who also feel that way, sad to say. Read more

The flaw with that approach is that it equates the size of a game with its value, which is problematic for all sorts of reasons. Size can certainly be one factor in assessing a game’s value, but most people would rather pay $60 for a 15-hour experience like Uncharted 2 than they would pay $60 for 100 hours of, say,… Read more

In this game (Link’s Awakening), yes and yes. This remake is a 1:1 recreation of the game. Nothing is different other than the things I mentioned above. Read more

The people call guards on you if you talk to them! Read more

It’s a short game, yeah. It’s hard to fathom that it costs the same as Breath of the Wild. But, honestly, it’s impossible for me to say whether it’s “worth” $60 because $60 means different things to different people - that’s the main reason we avoid talking about prices in our reviews here. One person’s $60 can be… Read more

Well, Kinja kinda ruined it by sticking “Share this story” in the middle there, but the answer is below that. Read more

During the course of reporting this story, I heard a whole lot of horrible stories that I couldn’t share here, either because I couldn’t corroborate them with multiple sources or because publishing them would risk the identities of my sources. (Protecting sources is always my number one priority when it comes to… Read more

Oh, wow. That really sucks. Thanks for sharing this. Read more

Yikes. Sorry you had to deal with that. Read more

Yes. Read more

Yes, you can ignore them and have a great time with the game. Read more

Yeah, I expect it’ll be out in (or around) February for PS4. Read more
