This is why you only bother to jailbreak a console when official support is gone. I support the scene but it's just stupid to jailbreak a console that is still actively being supported.
See people used to complain " oh but nobody cares if the guy is hideous". Well now they do. Finally true equality has arrived, let all be judged in this brave new world.
Might just be me but I value my money more than an "it's alright" or "it was fun" experience. To get that full inflated price out of me it needs to be an amazing experience but I guess I'm in the minority when it comes to picking and choosing how I spend money.
AI can be useful to keep the repetitive missions fresh. Think of the "another settlement needs your help" missions in Fallout 4. If Preston would give you new unique missions with dialogue, that would actually be very cool and wouldn't take away from the human crafted campaign.
@nessisonett I like to come to the defense of Japanese games for being quirky but it absolutely is catering to the weight gainers out there. Not that I care much, to each their own.
I'm not looking forward to people supposedly leaving gaming over AI because I know they'll instead spend all their time complaining about AI in comments sections.
Whatever big Corpos try to stop, the community will thwart. That's why I don't really care about physical or digital, the community WILL ensure this games always continue to exist.
@Balaam_ They pay for glorified roster updates every year, they probably wouldn't care if you took away last year's game because none of them go back when the new one releases.
I doubt Wolverine will actually have long legs, word of mouth is stronger than reviews and influencers. If everyone is saying it's a mediocre game, not as many people will be picking it up.
@Rezium I think the biggest loss for them is from the used game market. People buying used would probably wind up costing them more long term than the amount of supposed people who will quit support if Sony drops physical. I say supposed because it can't be a guarantee that everyone who says they are going to quit, will actually quit.
Ultimately, I don't think this was an overnight decision. I'm not supporting it but I just like to be pragmatic. To Sony, this path will give them more money and businesses only care about money. There is no good guy Sony, there is no Papa Nintendo taking care of us. They are all always trying to find ways to screw over the consumer, Sony was just louder this time.
Kinda sad we have to keep harping on TLOU2 because now it takes a million years to get a new game, so there's not really much else to talk about. A show? Yeah ok, where are the games Sony?
This is exactly what I've been saying. Kojima demands massive budget and tons of time to create his masterpieces. Sony didn't see the return they wanted from death stranding 2 so they cut him loose. Microsoft are the only ones in the industry capable of bleeding that amount of money.
The experiment failed, time to fall back to regularly scheduled programming. Sad state of affairs for marathon though, I bet a ton of people are going to lose their jobs.
Kojima is a diva and rockstar. Sounds like he's asking for a ton of cash and yet hasn't even decided on the basics of the project yet. Microsoft has FU money that they can just bleed out but I doubt Sony has the same luxury. Literally only Microsoft is able to fund something like this. It's why he left Konami, it's why he now left Sony. This is just how Kojima operates. Give me a ton of money and you'll get something back... eventually.
"The Turn Off Bluetooth function is for managing controller connections at esports venues and similar locations. Do not use this feature for any other purpose."
You can't tell me what to do, I'll do whatever I want!
Many other games since have copied it's UI and style. In a time when most RPGs were switching to action due to "player demand", they stayed true and delivered an excellent game so they have my respect for that.
Further proof that all the outrage is simply manufactured by people who don't even own a PlayStation and you can see people who frequent this site are guess what? Nintendo fanboys. Don't you guys already have NintendoLife?
I keep reading through the comments and I don't think people understand Kojima's mindset nowadays. He obviously see himself more as a producer, a movie producer. Or a director. He thinks his games are movie quality. As such, he behaves like a smarmy movie director. His way or the highway, probably advice he gets from his director buddies but this is not the film industry, this is the game industry. If you keep burning bridges you'll soon find yourself trapped on an island. Hopefully Kojima gets it together.
@ShadowRJ I wish that were true but the fact people constantly excuse Nintendo's anti consumer practices while relentlessly dogging on the rest of the industry leads me to believe a majority are fanboys that hate anything not made by Nintendo and they're the sort to hop to other communities to make those opinions known.
15 hours a month is absolutely insane. MAYBE 15 hours a week but a month? Who are they thinking uses the cloud streaming? Parents who only play 2 hours on weekends?

Re: 'Have You Heard How Much Money Kojima Wanted?': Physint's Rumoured Budget Said to Be 'Significant'

Re: The Legend of Zelda Is the Only Big Name Willing to Go Up Against GTA 6 in November
I mean Zelda is just a remake of a game I've played countless times already. A game that will likely be finished in like 3 or 4 days.
It does kind of point out how many Nintendo fans are on this site though, really puts a lot of these polls and discussions into perspective.
