I'd rate it somewhere between "meh" and "good" personally.
Very short conference. Lots of repeated content from E3 (which was already a disappointing show in itself), but there was a lot of merit to be found in the new announcements like Ghost of Sashimi, Concrete Genie and various stuff from the pre-show, while Spider-Man, Detroit and TLoU 2 got some truly excellent trailers. So it was worth watching all in all, but I can't help feeling that Sony are still holding back.
I'm with you Cory. Getting sick of all these open-world games that tout "freedom" and the "ability to go anywhere you want" as the pinnacle of game design. It isn't, and it's actually gotten quite old hat by this stage. There are many titles this gen that had no business being open-world and suffered for it. FFXV, MGSV and Mirror's Edge: Catalyst come to mind.
I fell down the stairs once, and I can't believe that this game has the nerve to make light of such a dreadful and traumatising part of my life. No buy.
Seriously though, in a 100 years time all politically incorrect comedy will be completely eradicated. At least I won't be around by then.
For a game that's a murder mystery, I find it really off-putting that there is no dialogue and very little interactivity. As Graham said, if the game can't deliver a more coherent and effective narrative then I don't really see why I should bother with it.

Re: Feature: 10 PS4 Predictions for Sony's Paris Games Week Press Conference
Tyler Malka walks on stage, announces a sequel to NeoGAF, everybody starts sweating buckets and then Tyler follows them into the shower.
Re: Site News: Announcing Push Square's Ultimate PlayStation Character Tournament
I will vote for Trico, Toro Inoue and Kat every chance I get.

Re: Interview: Making a Peach Beach Splash with Senran Kagura's Kenichiro Takaki
I need to play this game... for scientific purposes.
Re: The Web's in Love with the Way Street Fighter V's New Fighter Walks
Sometimes... it's okay to get a boner because of a video game character. This is one of those times.
Re: Soapbox: Why PS4's Big 2017 Titles Handle Female Leads the Right Way
Push Square continue to treat Kat like she doesn't exist.
Re: City Shrouded in Shadow Continues to Look Like the Best PS4 Game Ever
We are not worthy.
Re: Marvelous to Flop Two New Senran Kagura Titles onto PS4
Never use the word flop in relation to titties. You're spoiling a good thing with such gross verbiage.
Re: Feature: The 10 Best PS4 Games of 2017 So Far
Gravity Rush 2 was robbed.
Re: Feature: Sony PlayStation E3 2017 Press Conference Predictions
@playstation1995
What I'd give for a Puppeteer 2, seriously. Loved the first one.
But no, we get Knack 2 instead.
Re: Feature: Sony PlayStation E3 2017 Press Conference Predictions
"(even though we really do want Jumping Flash for PlayStation VR)"
I will love you guys forever for writing that. It's nice to know that Robbit hasn't been forgotten in some circles of the internet.
Re: Review: Persona 5 (PS4)
2017 - the gift that keeps on giving.
Re: Feature: The Promising PS4 Games of April 2017
I don't think Edith Finch is exclusive anymore.
Re: Don't Forget About Gravity Rush 2's Free DLC
Thanks for the reminder. I adore me some Gravity Rush, so how can I say no to some free DLC.
Re: Poll: Will Your PS4 Gather Dust Now the Nintendo Switch Is Out?
Switch has Zelda.
PS4 has everything else.
Re: Feature: The Best Games on PS4 - Winter 2017 Edition
Needs more Gravity Rush 2, Nioh and Until Dawn.
Re: Push Square to Doubt These L.A. Noire PS4 Remaster Rumours
One of my favourite games of last gen. I would gladly play it again on the PS4.
Re: Feature: The Promising PS4 Games of January 2017
January is Gravity Rush 2 month for me. Nothing else comes close.
Re: Poll: What Was Your Favourite PlayStation Game of 2016?
Bummer, I missed the poll. Would've voted for The Last Guardian.
Re: Feature: 10 PS4 Games from 2016 to Get Stuck into Over the Winter Holidays
Not the best place to ask but oh well - does Push Square intend to review PlayStation-exclusive Root Letter at some point in the future?

Re: Game of the Month: Top 4 PlayStation Games of September 2016
Was it really that much of a slow-ass month? Damn.

Re: Ninja Theory's Really Innovating with Hellblade on PS4
I still really really want a sequel to DmC above all else when it comes to Ninja Theory. Shame it's unlikely to happen.
Re: Feature: The Best Games on PS4 - Summer 2016 Edition
Needs moar Gravity Rush.
Re: Feature: 20 Promising PS4 Games Still to Come in 2016
I voted The Last Guardian. Gravity Rush 2 is a close second, but I have doubts over whether that game will even come out this year.
