I sincerely hope that FF7 Reunion opens with a simple, no voice-over, white text on a black backgound that says.

“Chadley and Mai died and have returned to the planet”

And then the next game continues on as though they never existed.

Saw a reddit post last night that accused the developers of Final Fantasy XVI of being “lazy” because they didn’t have as many minigames as FF7 Rebirth. Read more

He’s not wrong, but I feel as though the issue isn’t that the loudest assholes forget that these are people, it’s that they’re assholes and they just don’t care.

This whole deal, is, by far, the dumbest fucking thing I’ve ever seen in my 34 years of existence. What in the actual fuck is this, and what kind of absolute fucking imbecile would pay for any of this? What is this for? What is the purpose? What are you even “playing”? Read more

How interesting. They laid off 800 people last March so they could restructure and focus on the right projects https://kotaku.com/ea-layoffs-jobs-andrew-wilson-profits-electronic-arts-1850281078. I’m sure this time the restructuring will work and that it has nothing to do with giving more money to execs or stock… Read more

As I do whenever a golden-age Star Wars game is brought forward to modern platforms, I’ll end up spending too much time mulling over how well — if at all — the controls for X-Wing and TIE Fighter would translate to a game pad. Read more

Ahhh shit. Time to relive my Junior High lunch-hour on the art-room all over again.

Years later Quake 2 MP would take over the High School shop’s computer lab.  Read more

Love everything about this. I hope this sells incredibly well. Seems like so much love was put into it. And if it does well maybe we’ll get ports of Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight and it’s expansion, Mysteries of the Sith.

As a Lego-Person, I see nothing wrong with this.

This just reminds me of all the Diablo 4 people before it released worrying about how long it takes to hit max level.  Then sweating it to level 100 so they could START playing the game and then lamenting that there is no game after level 100 and wanting refunds.  All the while ignoring everything they did before max… Read more

This headline could apply to almost every game, but Gamers never learn. Read more

Totally agree. it’s the same side of those trying to maximize monetization of live service games.
Screw the meta, just play to enjoy the game! Read more

Love how times have changed. That same RDJ parody was featured in the Mel Gibson episode where RDJ is firing at the cops and shown to be a threat and Mel essentially is the best thing in Hollywood.  Read more

There are obviously some great songs here, but Baby on Board deserves a place. After all, the B-Sharps were “Bigger than Jesus”, and their reunion on that roof is one of the best moments in the whole show. Read more

That fistfight at the end of MGS4 is one of the best sequences in all of gaming. From the score to the health bars changing to tell the history of the franchise that led us to this moment. Brilliant. Read more

I cannot wait to watch 20 minutes of a pirated copy of this on my phone while taking a shit....that seems like the only proper way to watch a Borderlands movie.

(And I’m a Borderlands mega-fan...or rather, was, until Borderlands 3 dumped a 10-gallon drum of cold horse piss on everything.) Read more
