What about this article gives it a ‘tone’ or make it seem like a ‘gotcha’? Read more

LOL, Spicy. We’re feeling the same thing in my area. Our newly elected Premier has decided to wage a war on the Public sector. From teachers, to Nurses to regular Unionized Govt. staff. We’re expecting to see 10,000+ in layoffs to support a corporate tax giveaway. Read more

> but why fix Kinja comments when you could kill Deadspin? Read more

Sounds like you echo the sentiments of your readers regarding this...  Read more

Certainly true, and I always do enjoy and learn from the long form reports or articles posted on Kotaku, like article about Activision Blizzard or the report in developer crunch. Read more

Boy, I’m real curious about this. Infinite was very flawed, but whether it was just how strongly the aesthetic appealed to me, I still feel it’s successes were stronger than it’s failures. Read more

Wishlist for a new game in a franchise that I love very much, but am very wary to a new game announcement for: Read more

used game sales won’t be cannibalized by digital games, but by subscription services. Read more

Also means they have more control over the price of new games, since they don’t have to worry about retailers needing to move stock. Read more

The double-bladed lightsaber is way more of a spoiler than *gasp* Darth Vader being in a Star Wars game. Read more

It’s the climax of the game, but it happens so randomly and so stupidly that you’re honestly not missing much of value if you know Vader is in it. He probably shouldn’t have been in it in the first place.  Read more

Some YouTuber also cunningly spoiled this with a video about “Darth Vader’s appearances in videogames”, with a prominent2019" right in the thumbnail, so even if you didn’t click their video you got spoiled if it showed on your YouTube page. And that was just a few days after the game was released. No shame... Read more

I would be surprised if they didn’t put vader in, given that he’s been in *skims notes* every single star wars thing set while he’s alive except Solo. Read more

as someone who managed to not get God of War spoiled since it came out, just bought it on friday, this has to be a massive pissed off moment, I watched and was like, I guess I’m not buying this one..
