@asdfghjklz are you honesty using gta as a frame of reference when its a meme to kill prostitutes and take their money? Lol!

Im not arguing about children im talking about men and women in the army in the game or whatever, you would imagine both sexes are capable of defending themselves in that context.

@Miserablefish what an infantile comment.

Just saw a video where youre able to kill the men but not the women in the game. Bullets just go straight through the women. Like what is the intention there?

I wasnt going to get a ps6 anyway since I have zero interest in Sonys future live service push and their exclusives this gen have not appealed to me in the slightest. But its so crazy not seeing everyone hyped for next gen and instead almost dreading it. How bad has this generation had to be to create such a huge change in attitude from fans

@Swandivetotheasphalt I cant imagine any company would have the nerve to try and prosecute for trying to gain access to a game that was yours and then just taken away from you. But stranger things have happened

@4fold if I buy something, it should be mine. If im renting it for a certain amount of time that should be made crystal clear at point of purchase, not in T&Cs. The language should change to rent.

If buying isnt owning, pirating isnt stealing

When you are trying to sell your studio with a Senua game things are really bad. Western devs have completely abandoned their target audiences and now are paying the price

Please dont call it early access. This is a slimey practice that actually blocks off day one access to people not pre ordering or buying whatever premium edition. We should all be calling out this blatant cashgrab anti consumer behaviour. That its become so normalised is yet another stain on the modern gaming industry

I mean, Wolverine could be ok but it certainly wont be the game to save ps5's end years. It needs something spectacular like a bloodborne ps5 remake or sequel. But ya the gen has been dud after dud for me unfortunately, no reason to get a ps6 if all I can look forward to is more live service or GoW and horizon sequels

The 'deals' really are only what a game is actually worth at the time. Still sometimes far more expensive than they are worth though. When I see a 5 year old games non deal price 69.99 that ain't fooling me 😂

The shilling has already begun I see. No one wants or asked for this game which is what I can say about the majority of ps studios ps5 releases. Just more slop

Concord and now Marathon. How much money has Sony lost making games that no one asked for or wanted this gen. And haven't even got to fairgames and horizon yet. Worst gen ever

Ok so Marathon gets praise and 9 out of 10 on this site, Crimson Desert gets criticism and 6 out of 10. Yet Crimson desert has been far more successful. How does a game with a 6 critic review perform so much better than a 9? Its the complete disconnect that creates "conspiracy theories" because people see the obvious contradiction and need to find a way to explain it. You can say oh its just the reviewers opinion but this score disparity is shared throughout a lot of gaming sites so there's a pattern there

If my OG ps5 dies ill just stick to my gaming laptop. What do I really have to look forward to on ps5? Saros and Wolverine? 2 games that might be good but are by no means system sellers. Oh wait, I forgot about Marathon, Fairgames and that new horizon game Im sold! 😂

@RoomWithaMoose wait are you forgetting about the constant obsession with console footage? Must have been at least 5 articles on that alone

@KonstantTrouble agreed and glad Im not the only one that noticed the constant drip drip of negativity from sites like this.
Not sure but I reckon it all originates from sites like reset era where a lot of the ideas on these articles come from.
Basically if it has a negative slant there it carries on to other areas of the webby webs

@HRdepartment well then its not journalism is it? Its advertising

The third movie will be hard to beat for me. Took a lot of inspiration from the story of Sonic adventure 2, the best story in a sonic game in my opinion

@Midnyte-Monkey Exactly PS defended to the hilt Veilguard, ass creed shadows and called any negativity "hate". Seems like fair game to pour as much negativity as they want on this game though trying to find any angle to attack it. Great for me though as it has convinced me to move the game from wait for a sale to buy day one

@Titntin yes completely agree, are we living in opposite land where 82 is a major disappointment?

The constant negative articles from PS on this game tells me theres more going on than judging a game for how good it is.

So all those negative articles were pointless. Now though even in these comments there are some who are trying to find new faults, very strange mentality

"What's being done here is far from neutral" Is Push Square neutral? Judging by recent behaviour I think not

The truth is Premium is good value if you value streaming on your portal etc. Most people are not in that catagory so most will say it's not good value.
If I was someone with time to finish multiple games a month, extra would be one to go for.

Dropped to under 10k concurrent players this morning.... not looking good I'm afraid. I dont necessarily want it to fail but if its short term pain (these live services failing) for long term gain (games being made for what the majority on here want to play) then so be it

@Ambassador_Kong Thank you thats exactly the point I am trying to make.

@PuppetMaster like it or not (and I dont) critic metacritic scores influence sales. Withholding reviews while the game is on sale is shielding bungie from a potentially low critic score. If you are just willfully ignoring this obvious fact you're not being honest and are not worth discussing this with

@LogicStrikesAgain sorry this decision is impossible to defend. Games do not get the treatment of waiting til they are finished before reviewing. If this was accepted it sets a terrible precedent.

@PuppetMaster Thats not the point here. What people dont like is critics seemingly covering for game studios. This completely breaks the trust between consumers and critics

@get2sammyb why is it a lose - lose situation? If you review it fairly when it launches and people are expected to pay for it like every other game, that would be considered appropriate and a 'win' no?

You are choosing the 'lose' option by giving a game special treatment. If it was another maybe non Sony game it would be hammered in the reviews for being unfinished. This is why I never trust critic reviews.

This same website publishing negative articles on crimson desert which isn't even out yet just because there isn't enough ps5 footage according to them

Really strange obsession with ps5 footage and trying to put a negative slant on the game by calling all the great features "overwhelming". If this was a game like say hmmm dragonage veilguard we would be getting much more positive coverage. Maybe PS will be proven right and the game is a mess but im almost getting the feeling theres a hope it is going to be like that more than a fear

I just cant catch a break with sony this gen. Been disappointment after disappointment. Im just not the target audience anymore it seems

A multiplayer shooter. Wow, exciting, haven't seen one of those in about a week

Bloodborne is one of my favourite games of all time, favourite ps4 game for sure. Some tiny semblance of hope has me thinking maybe Sony are at least considering a remake or preferably a sequel, and that is why they sent the cease and decist. But my head tells me this is just modern Sony being modern Sony

Glad this has opened the eyes of more people to see where sony is heading. These crap live service games and "ongoing revenue" are really all they care about.

Saying it looks good while using a picture of the ugliest looking helmet I have ever seen on a character 😂😂😂

How have these live service games survived to be released. This, marathon and is there a fairgames I think?? All after the disaster that was Concord. Imagine the great games we could have gotten if all these time sinks that are guaranteed to fail had not been given the go ahead. Such a disappointment from Sony this gen

Oh my word... watched 2 minutes of the trailer and couldnt bear anymore. Pretty much a culmination of everything bad about modern gaming. Concord 3 here we come

Really liking the look of this one. Will have to wait and see more gameplay but this may be a very rare day one purchase for me

Ya i dont think he "sticks his foot in" anything with his comments. From what i can see most people agree with him, including myself.

Love how the article tries to put a negative spin on it and it backfires.

All offended posts from Bluesky too, priceless

If AI can help with the 5 year waiting period between games im all for it. Dev time has become unsustainable and its why we get the constant churn of remakes. What do you think is worse, the same game getting released 3 gens in a row or new games made quicker with the help of AI?

@LogicStrikesAgain I completely get that. May be a bit of miscommunication here. What i mean is why would anyone sub for the classic games in the tier. If there are other reasons you do then fair enough

You can get a ps1 emulator running on a potato these days, why anyone would sub to premium for a massively watered down selection of these titles is beyond me

People who are just hostile towards any kind of AI innovation are the modern day version of horse riders hating the first cars coming on to the road.

What constitutes a minor hit? 😂 less than 20k peak player count on steam. And just because it is on game pass is not an excuse, so many games do far better even when they are on game pass. This was a major flop!

His weapon looks suspiciously like a Keyblade 😁
