EVIL-C

Lala deserves an award! 😍

@Playstationuser I'm sorry you get so offended over an individual's media consumption. Says a lot more about yourself than others. Good day.

@Playstationuser Fun is my thing. Learn the difference.

@Playstationuser Who plays video games to have fun?! Preposterous Poppycock! 🧐

OT: Enjoyed SR3/4/GooH, looking forward to the reboot. 😂

I'm truly disappointed that physical isn't an option on day 1. Now I have to contemplate signing up for Sony's GamePass clone, or wait a few months for a hard copy. Let me guide my fluffy orange kitty back home now, not later! 🐈😫

@Lovespuds That's exactly what they do, though. Stray is an exception where it is getting a standard retail release as well. The whole business model is trash.

I couldn't care less about god of war, but this whole initial story makes absolutely zero sense. As if sending such pictures would produce the desired result. 🤦‍♂️ Some people are beyond any rational thought. 🤦‍♂️

@TeapotBuddha Speak for yourself, I loved the GC remake. And I've played both versions.

I didn't even hear about this Firefly edition. When was it announced? 😔

@BReal I wanted it. Even though it's unnecessary, I f-ing adore both TLoU and Naughty Dog's work.

And yet we still can't get a physical release of The Simpsons Arcade Game! 😩😭

@NEStalgia A lump of poop, more like it. 🤣😜

Coming from the same website who recently told us E3 is dead. Different writer, sure, but there is irony here. 🤔

Curious about The Last of Us series. 🤔 Everything else = 🤷‍♂️

@LiamCroft Maybe not today, but this is a shockingly high number. One that will likely only increase in the future. Once Upon a Time, digital downloads were the minority, now they're the majority of sales. How do you miss the obvious that this can potentially set a bad precedence going forward? Less incentive to invest in a traditional consumer-friendly gaming model, so hey let's load our games up with even more DLC, in-game paid currencies, and invasive micro transactions.

I proudly spent $0 on F2P last year.

It's not a problem, PS. More Saints Row is all I'm asking for. It's such a fun, ridiculous series. 😂 SR4 really went too far with the OP god-like powers, so toning it down is actually welcomed. We'll have a reason to drive cars again. They were useless in SR4.

@jFug You don't see it because it's not there. It's a purely aesthetic dislike from some of these individuals, nothing more. An aesthetic critique is perfectly reasonable. Same reason Metroid Prime Federation Force got obliterated online was its chibi style, yet the game was actually awesome.

The internet caused that word to lose all meaning. It's like calling something "gay" as a universal insult if one doesn't like/doesn't understand X topic or issue at hand. So nauseating...

I'll get PS+ again at some point when I need to back up some saves or actually play something online. 🤷‍♂️ The starting classic lineup is not that interesting.

@Col_McCafferty Pure ignorance.
Barf.

@lolwhatno You can't generalize fans of one platform as being some kind of hive mind. I own every platform and use them for different reasons; with regard to Xbox specifically, while GamePass is great, I don't intentionally subscribe to it as a rule, unless I find a promo or discount on it. Since I don't have a lot of free time for gaming, I would rather just buy the games that I'm most interested in, (and often physically at that 😉) and play them on my own time, not when a service tells me I have to play now, or else it may be gone next week.

I also did buy Xbox for some exclusives, such as Halo infinite, Gears 6, potential exclusives like Doom, Wolfenstein, and my absolute #1 most desired exclusive, the reimagined (and hopefully not trash) Perfect Dark. Some Xbox digital titles are Play Anywhere, which gives you the PC version as well for free.

I got a lot of my multiplatform releases for Series X because it's the most powerful console of the three, PS5 for Sony exclusives, and Switch for 1st party, most retro/indie titles, or if I want portability.

@Enuo You can be jealous of GamePass all you want, even that service won't save a horrible game like Outriders.

I really liked Until Dawn, and I'm currently playing The Dark Pictures: Man of Medan, also from Suoermassive. I'm sure The Quarry will be really interesting. 🙂

@Nintendo4Sonic Just Google "No more heroes Xbox 360".

@Porco The switch version was adequately fine. Definitely not "atrocious".

It's sad because the Vita did have some great titles and was very technically impressive for the time. I've always had a soft spot for handhelds, but Sony acted like the Vita was dead by 2014, and it limped along for years after without Sony. Plus It'd be challenging to adapt some of those titles for a non-touch interface. Sony still demonstrating they never believed in Vita, not then and not now. 😔

Yeah, that's not happening. Ryan is full of 💩 like always, and this is straight up fear mongering about "Oh if we change anything, our exclusives will suffer, so they're not included in the plan". Such a baseless excuse.

PS3 is STILL streaming-only. 😱🤦‍♂️ PSnow had horrible performance for me years ago, thus I never bothered again with it. Plus the library sucked.

If it wasn't for Ikumi Nakamura's E3 presentation, GWT would've had even less attention paid to it. The game never looked very good, and that recent gameplay trailer was an absolute snoozefest. "Let's take a great ghost finding concept like Fatal Frame, and suck all the fun and intrigue out of it! Brilliant!". 🤦‍♂️

At least Kirby's doing well.

Kirby sucked my wallet dry. 👛

Would consider GWT for maybe $20. Just looks... kinda dull.

The assumptions and sense of pretentiousness with this article... 🙄 E3 is only dead to the entitled people like sammy who had the privilege of being invited in past years.

This should surprise no one after that recent trailer. Would consider for $20.

Loved Until Dawn, but I'll wait for a sale.

@Cutmastavictory Yeah, which I even acknowledged FF14 was cross-play, if you'd bothered to read my response. I also said the odd titles that were, were all coincidently MMOs. Cross-play was an exception that generation, not the rule.

You, however, are choosing the ignore the network-wide crossplay issue; an entirely separate matter. The FF14 matter is done. It was crossplay. I admit it. TWICE. Yet you're still unsatisfied.

However, I'm not wrong that Sony is still causing issues for some publishers. You're the one who refuses to accept that Sony was causing issue, at least as far as Gearbox is concerned. Borderlands 3 still doesn't support cross-play. They had to remove it for certification by Sony. This is well documented, which I cited. You're choosing to ignore the words of Pitchford, not me. https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2021/05/borderlands_3_crossplay_kyboshed_on_ps5_ps4_by_publisher

@Cutmastavictory You've yet to cite anything.

@Cutmastavictory They allowed it, than rescinded, then reverted back after pressure. I'm no fan of Gearbox, but even they are citing issues with Sony at this very moment.
You think Sony can do no wrong, I get it. I'm happy to admit when I'm wrong, but the evidence counters your claims. Sorry to hurt your ego. Personal feelings =/= evidence.

@Floki So, basically some MMOs are the exception. The Dust and EVE examples are titled completely differently, talk about obscure. 😳

@Cutmastavictory Yes, FF14, an MMO. Fine. To which those old Live policies have been removed. https://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/final-fantasy-xiv-xbox-nintendo-switch-port/

There's no question Sony was the last to budge when XB/Switch/PC players began playing together. I love how you can't explain why TTWL's and Borderlands 3 is only again hung up on Sony's systems now. 🤔
As a bonus, as of October 2021, the director still suggests FF14 will release on Xbox. https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2021-10-18-yoshida-positive-about-final-fantasy-14-coming-to-xbox

I have no horse in this race. I don't play nor couldn't care less about what platforms FF14 is on. What I will say though is what you call regurgitating, I call citing evidence and data. Try it some time. Personal feelings =/= evidence.

@thedevilsjester
Ah yeah I forgot FF11. (Not an MMO/FF fan) It's always MMOs, never something like a racer or FPS. 😋
I completely agree with your theory, as it's logical if you're on top, you want to retain everyone and their friends on the same platform. MS has removed those old policies, to their credit, and Sony did relinquish too, and I'm genuinely surprised BL3 is having issues still.
It's definitely hard to implement, but also it's a natural evolution of the industry, and it prolongs a game's lifespan. Thus setting the stage for further DLCs and expansions.

We could even go a step further and mention how even Sony is releasing a lot of their first-party titles on PC now, as is MS, because they know where the rest of the money is. Interesting times.

@Jaz007 Can you cite anything specific?

I've gone back and researched and I suddenly recalled Portal 2 having Steam connectivity.
https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-01-18-portal-2-ps3-steam-cross-platform-play

Otherwise, haven't found anything else.

@Cutmastavictory Crossplay as we define it today, playing against rival systems, did not exist on PS3.

There were a few games that could be played across PS3/4/Vita, but that's still within PSN. That doesn't count within the modern context of cross-play, nor within the citied information from that article which I posted.

Sony was the last holdout on crossplay. That is undeniable. Honestly, I'm surprised the issue is still persisting into the PS5 era, but apparently so.

@Cutmastavictory

No, it's well documented that Sony was against cross play and the lone holdout. They're the only ones requiring compensation in these cases.
The industry is always changing. Gamers were demanding it. That's just the way it is.

The dinosaur game from Capcom that no one asked for... 🤦‍♂️
I can't begin to describe how awful this game looks. Please no one buy this. Send a message to Capcom that Dino Crisis needs to return!

I loved Spyhunter, so this definitely appeals to me. Looks like some silly fun.

@Elodin

If you have an iDevice, it's on Apple Arcade.

@Futureshark Please give the fanboy garbage a rest. You look like a fool. Gears has female leads. Perfect Dark is coming back. Recore has a female lead. Big IPs like Tomb Raider are widely available on XB. And Sony's making their own GamePass equivalent, FYI. The selection is hardly fodder.

Review bombing happens to every platform. That's the price of having a free, open internet. 🤷‍♂️

@Rural-Bandit Unless you can quantify that with hard data, no one can say who is allegedly putting more garbage in the lakes. Personal anecdotes are not scientific nor objective.

@Balosi Way too many assumptions you're making there about digital purchasing trends on 3DS/Wii U, without citing any evidence.

Epic fail on Sony's part. There's no defending any kind of
censorship, yet I expect some here will when it's their team doing the thing they otherwise don't like. I'd get this title elsewhere.

Stop treating your customers like 4YO's, Sony.

@colonelkilgore What? Nintendo has soft core porn on the Switch. Even games like "Bombing *****" is "Bombing Busters" on PS. Sony are the only one's actively censoring games these days. Everyone else doesn't have these issue.

Just goes to show you how dumb and uninformed the average customer is. A shoddy product like this ends up selling 10 + million copies. This will tell Rockstar that they can get away with this garbage again in the future. Zero accountability.

Kudos for the public awareness message.

@Notintogimmickconsol

LOL, get over yourself. All three models play the same games. They're all equally countable. That's like saying don't count PS2 slim consoles, or PS4 Pro. 🙄

"Make a beefy console with a proper normal controller design and better 3rd party support for once." They did that. It was called GameCube. People were told by mainstream gaming media to hate it because it was purple (and black) and had a handle, so they did.

I got the first for free. I got the second for free. I will likely get the third for free eventually. Not spending a Nickle on this crap.

@sanderson72 Hence why a Switch makes perfect sense. Sony ain't never making another handheld. Switch is everything Vita dreamed of being and more. 😉👑

Ugh, there goes a big reason I'd even pick up PSVR 2: to try all the interesting stuff from PSVR! No BWC, no buy.
