BYE FOREVER ARI AND EAT SHIT (i’ll still miss u 🖤) Read more

i don’t like this reductive evaluation. a game’s worth can’t be determined by its price. that said splatoon 2's campaign - while more robust than what was in the og - is paltry at best and irrelevant at worst. u said u enjoyed the first one tho so imo that alone makes splatoon 2 worth it for u regardless of its cost.… Read more

that’d be so silly lol they’re totally different vibes Read more

u know every time i’ve played splatoon 2 (splatwoon?) my connection had been pretty stable. there were a few error messages i encountered but multiplayer always held up. i missed the splatfest for splatoon 3 so i can’t say for sure whether nintendo’s addressed the game’s network issues but i do remember reading online… Read more

ngl the “lacks identity” bits were a little weird esp considering the amount of personality splatoon already has but i guess when u stand it next to previous entry splatoon 3 is more of the same. i don’t mind that. splatoon is my fav shooter but i would’ve liked some innovation instead of simply iteration Read more

to everyone wondering where our post was: this was it. it took a while assembling all the responses from current and former kotaku dot com staffers but all that time gave us the room to honor fahey in the best way we knew how. i didn’t get to work with him long but his personality and wit were infectious. im bummed… Read more

oh word? that’s good to know so thx for clarifying Read more

whoa i missed this. so ur telling me someone beat all fromsoftware’s games without taking any damage? iirc we reported on someone doing that with all the dark souls games but i don’t remember seeing anything on all fromsoft games. tight thx for the sharing intell ! imma have to check this out Read more

deadass. i’d upvote this multiple times if i could Read more

i’m sure it’s some sorta shooter. the industry can’t help itself. it loves shooting but even still like a commenter said a little up top the point of any trailer is to advertise / talk about what ur game actually is and that’s not what they did Read more

yeah and i know slideshows suck too buuuuuut sometimes - like this time - they are appropriate. i wish we weren’t required to do them as often tho Read more

only turned this into a slideshow bc i figured loading multiple tweets would hella suck and kinja’s kinda ass at taking a bunch of photos at one time Read more
