God forbid different things than what you want exist! How dare they! 99/100 games are exactly what you want, but every once in a while....

Fantastic article, Alex. I don't really care for movies. I mean, I watch them occasionally, and have some favorite genres, but the truth is going to the theater is prohibitively expensive and if I have 2 hours of free time at home I'd almost always rather be playing a video game. That said, if there was a movie I was interested in seeing, I would always immediately go to Ebert's review and read just that. The man was a master, and this was apparent, because even if I did not agree with his review after seeing the film, I still respected the quality and sincerity of his writing. Your article is a sensible and fitting tribute to the man's incredible legacy, as well as his contribution to criticism.

Whether or not games are art is not really relevant here. What is important, is that if games have any hope of getting better, it's going to require analysis and reflection on par with the work that Ebert was doing for films. You have your work cut out for you. Good luck.

Oh really? I'm only Hunter Rank 2 right now, so I don't know what the high rank stuff is like. I've heard there's quite the difficulty spike though. Either way, I'm excited to see what the game can throw at me.

Good on you Patrick for trying new things. I'm about 35 hours deep into MH3U on the Wii U right now. It's my first Monster Hunter, and I'm loving every second of it. As a Demon's / Dark Souls veteran, I can tell you that those games are a lot less impenetrable up front in terms of the amount of information you're going to need to process. The gameplay, however, is much more difficult. Where early monsters in MH3U will bat you around for a while before you die, many of the bosses in the Souls games will just kill you outright in a hit or two.

not sure how am feel. Deloria's tweet obviously moronic; also disingenuous because no doubt she will buy a PS4 anyway when the time comes. OP's basic premise that Kotaku is ridiculous click-baiting nonsense makes sense, but the overall delivery seems in poor taste.

man they are really running this franchise into the ground.

This is some hot bullshit.

I am at work and I still clicked the link.

Am thinking I should pick up where I left off with corpse party.

Patrick has nailed this news thing. NAILED IT.

Just wanted to update you guys that I've had to put a hold on doing more drawings. Thought I was over this cold/flue/whatever but it came back way worse. I've been in a totally bed-ridden fever-dream for like 48hrs and this is the first I've even been able to get to my laptop. I think I'm over the peak, so I'm going to stay in bed with drugs today and hope I'm back to fairly-normal on Sunday and can get back on the drawings. Thanks for bearing with me. The timing totally fucking sucks!

feel better, duder.
