"instead of to the strange flying person who's always following Snake and panning down to his butt at inappropriate times"

I know, it's a weird feeling... if this was just an art thing from enthusiasts it would be super amazing. But knowing it's some corporate event to sell not just beer, not just light beer, but shitty, mass produced light beer... it just takes the soul out of the whole thing. I think there's more validity in that live

"Sorry. I am here to tell you about giant Pac-Man mazes, not narrate beer commercials with the worst slogans ever."

Man, I'm really bummed that this is all for just a Bud Light commercial (ugh, that beer is so flavorless) and not some type of art event. It would have been a nice excuse to visit LA. Read more

No matter how hard I kick my Link's ass he will never be able to beat my brother's Fox, maybe he doesn't want to learn or maybe I don't want to teach him. Read more

Too bad the way Nintendo is supplying these things the only tournaments we get will be filled with Mario, Peach, Link and Donkey Kong. Read more

I wouldn't mind doing the filler stuff as much (I avoid them atm) if the core combat mechanic was fun. As it stands, it's like playing an MMO for me, and I'm not a fan of those. If the combat gameplay was either more geared towards the tactical view or more geared towards action and movement, I would enjoy it much Read more

I really appreciate Kotaku posting articles on both sides of a divisive perspective. I was fairly vocal in the comments on the articles which decried Dragon Age: Inquisition for having too much content. For fans of the series that have been waiting for a worthy sequel for years (ie. folks like me), the game's wealth Read more

A lot of great games don't "respect your time". Read more

The story is a confusing mess. That being said, I'm currently running 2.5's Birth By Sleep on critical mode. Read more

Very good reason why I don't play this series anymore. The story is just out of control. Lost interest after 2 and couldn't even tell you what happened there. I never thought the gameplay was outstanding either. More cute than anything. Read more

Well, if every current customer devoted all their time to exploring, ever single star could be visited in around 23 years, playing at 4 hours per day every single day. I wrote a solid Reddit thread over on /r/EliteDangerous with all the math if you want to read it Read more

During development, you would occasionally see someone ask Frontier "What happens once the entire galaxy has been explored? Will you add Andromeda?" - Even if every single one of their customers devoted their entire life to doing nothing but exploring star systems until the day they die, the galaxy would still be 99% Read more

Walking on planets and star bases is on the map. We don't know when that will be ready though. Read more
