They’re not wrong…

phi1997, in Square Enix cancels Just Cause: Mobile and early access version

Didn't they sell Eidos a while back to fund NFTs?

conciselyverbose, in This is my original NX mockup concept I had back in 2015, I wonder if this can be revived for the Switch 2 (which I know is coming now), a removable second screen for handled mode. This isn't my only current idea, the other is a screen in the controllers.

How much are they paying me to use that monstrosity?

You never know, NDont loves their extra screens, so you might be on to something.

On the other hand, this seems about as useful as the PS4 with a 4-Disc changer or adding a game card magazine clip that sticks out real far and will auto-change games as needed (very loud and slow).

That was just for the screen. The controls I will be nice and won’t even mention.

LunarVanguard, in Final Fantasy XVI’s Jill Should Be More Than Pretty

I think Jill is a great character she's strong without being a "man with tits" she's pretty while wearing practical clothes. Which is why I think it's a shame she feels under utilized. The game has a huge lack of banter while traveling around which is a great way for games to make their characters feel more present.

Do you think the game not having the FF traditional party is why she feels underutilized?

Enttropy, in Final Fantasy XVI’s Jill Should Be More Than Pretty
@Enttropy@kbin.social avatar

Ah, Kotaku again with the shitposting.

So the author is mad that Jill isn’t the main character and she loves the actual main character, who happens to be a dude.

And here I was, hoping that an actual nuanced discussion could happen on here, instead of a Reddit-esque “Kotaku sux” kind of thing.

I almost didn’t post it because I suspected half the replies would be people complaining about Kotaku like it’s still 2014, and now I see I should have gone with my gut.

KbinItTogether, in OverClocked ReMix: Video Game Music Community
@KbinItTogether@kbin.social avatar

There was a remix of Gato's Song from Chrono Trigger where they performed it in several different styles and added in a crowd booing after every performance that strangely stuck with me after all these years.

And I found it! It's Team Gato by Dale North and Mustin! And here's the link to it directly on Youtube.

Gorejelly, in Xbox Game Pass: renowned studio confirms 6 surprise games
@Gorejelly@kbin.social avatar

It might just be me, but I’d really like it if the posts were not just links but also included even the slightest bit of effort to them.

In case anyone else looks here, the company in question is Annapurna, and the six games are Cocoon, Flock, Bounty Star, Thirsty Suitors, To A T, and Ghost Bike.

The link has videos for all six games, as well as release dates and the other systems those games will be released on.

Some of the best devs out there and a win-win business model. The new content pays for itself since it just keeps bringing people in, and they feel that's plenty of income to not feel like moving to dlc.

ArugulaZ, in Kotaku Staff Furious After Owner Announces Move to AI Content
@ArugulaZ@kbin.social avatar

Good thing I spent five years in college sharpening my writing skills, only to be obsoleted by an uppity toaster. That'll make paying my student loans so much easier.

Whould you thank any one for anything, if earned it all yourself? They literally pulled them selves up by the bootstraps !

Chozo, in Kotaku Staff Furious After Owner Announces Move to AI Content

The fact that I can open up ChatGPT right now and say "Write a Kotaku article about why Tetris is racist" and get a 100% believable result out of it should be a sign that they've been replaceable for a while now.

Maybe it's trying to use markdown to create a numbered list, in many flavours of markdown that would do it.

pulaskiwasright,

This sounds exactly like something Kotaku would write:

One of the key criticisms leveled at Tetris is the lack of diversity in its visual representation. The game predominantly features blocks of different shapes and colors, but the absence of any explicitly diverse or racially inclusive elements raises questions. In a world that is culturally diverse, the omission of representation within the game can be seen as a missed opportunity to promote inclusivity.

@Chozo Right? There is no need of this site anymore since I've got fingers and can use CGPT myself.

Zebrazilla, in Kotaku Staff Furious After Owner Announces Move to AI Content
@Zebrazilla@kbin.social avatar

Not much was lost. Both Gizmodo and Kotaku content have already been indistinguishable from poorly generated AI content for ages now.

sadreality,

Shilling corpo propaganda made most "journalism" feel like it was AI generated corporate PR

TwilightVulpine,

Ironically nothing seems to rile up some gamers more than when game journalists try to be more than a corporate PR relay. God forbid anyone talks about labor issues, social issues, or worse, actually publishes a critique of a popular triple-A game.

sadreality,

Labour issue in game development got ur panties all bunched up?!

I guess some really ain't got to work for money ehh?

chatterbox and comedy. You can see them in the activity tab of the post.

sadreality,

Ahh... Didn't even know about that feature. Ty for sharing!

@chatterbox and @comedy

chatterbox,

So weird and obsessive to not only care about who might disagree with your comment, but to then seek to notify them demanding an explanation. Like I have to justify why I disagree or dont find any particular comment useful?

I diagreed because I am a gamer and I DO care about labor conditions in the industry. While I don't work in it, I have many friends that do and they identify as gamers and do care. I dont like making gamers a monolith, nor do I agree with the assertion that the reason they were disliked was due to them cocering labor issues. Thats why I downvoted the comment. I dont expect you or the others to agree with me, obviously, but the idea that you'd try to get people to justify it is fucking weird.

GataZapata, in Publishers need to stop announcing games that are still years away from launch, gamers agree

'Gamers agree' that would be a historical first lol

admiralteal,

One day news media will stop reporting "Large demographic group enraged!" by citing 2 posts on a random social media platform.

But only because no news media is left.
