Yeah I picked Ann, but unlike you I am absolutely in love with Ann Takamaki in real life as well as in the game!! It may be a problem... All of the girls in the game are good choices though. However saying that you would rather be friends with them is totally understandable. They are all just cool in there own Read more

I wish that Mario Kart had characters from this series insted of Koopalings, babies and weird statues. This game has just so many quirky characters, it feels good when you find one that isn’t completely deranged. Those were my thoughts in Dream Team (I literally just finished it today) when meeting the seahorse guy. Read more

Never had a problem with the blood moon till I took too long in clearing the enemies off the Akkad tower at night. The music starts up, “crap, I still haven’t figured out how to get up the tower.” And then the cutscene ends and a monster is standing right behind me! Read more

Hmm..chose Aegis in P3 cuz she’s a cool, kickass-lasermouth battle Android, Naoto in P4 because she had less unlikable traits plus a detective, and Tae Takemi for P5 because she’s just around the corner and I don’t have to go far from Leblanc plus she’s got that ‘ill say whatever i want to my customer’ kinda attitude Read more

She was misunderstood at first and was struggling with her own problems. I’ll be there for her and love her.” What a foolish Read more

My gaming fell by the wayside for a variety of reasons none of which bears repeating. As such, after grimacing my way through ME:A I’ve gotten back on the wagon and plan on finishing DE:MD, Arkham Knight while currently Shadow of Mordor is consuming waaaay too many of my waking hours. Then I think I’ll pick up Prey on Read more

Thanks for the palate cleanser! Nothing against the rest of the Kotaku staff but sometimes it’s nice for a change of pace. Read more

And you didn’t even mention the final “chapter” as it were. Which I won’t really go into because spoilers, but that last big switcheroo the game pulls on you really threw me for a loop. I think that’s when I realized how masterfully this game was inverting genre tropes at the time. Read more

BAHAJAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! Almost worse IMO than the OG smash calling Luigi “the eternal understudy” XD Read more

Couldn’t quite work this in but I asked him if he could do any promotional art for any games which would they be. His responses: Bloodborne, Phantasy Star Online, Absolver  Read more
