I'm glad EA hasn't put out anything worth buying and all the games I have been mildly interested in happen to pop up on PS+. I definitely don't want to give them any more money under their new ownership.
Let the continued ruination of EA, well, continue!
I for one, absolutely despise layoffs unless they're laying off the morons who led them to the point where they need mass layoffs.
@MidnightDragonDX I read another article elsewhere and I think it made a pretty apt comparison in saying that people cheering for AI are like Turkey's celebrating when the Christmas lights come out.
@PercyChuggs in one statement you say there is no demand and in the next you immediately contradict yourself by saying demand is a fraction of what it was which means there is a demand.
Well, which is it? Is there demand or isn't there?
@RoomWithaMoose I looked it up and it's a character taken from a game, turned into a little penguin with a girl face that's used in a bunch of AI slop videos.
@For-Kier I don't understand the sucking up people do for gen AI slop. Why don't you enlighten us with your knowledge on how slop AI is beneficial for everyone?
@Slideaway1983 Hi, I'm actor Troy McClure! You might remember me from such driver's ed films as Alice's Adventures Through The Windshield Glass and The Decapitation of Larry Leadfoot.
I'd be happy for them to have a return policy that isn't garbage, because my younger cousin can only mistakenly purchase things on the PS Store so many times before they start to catch on.
@Balaam_ even when a game is on disc you don't own it. You own the disc itself, owning the disc grants you access to a license. So you may as well get rid of all of your disc based games as you don't actually own them, just the disc.
It's amazing that people don't realize this, and that this has always been the way.
What gamers need is true ownership of the game once they choose their method of delivery, whether it's physical or digital.
@crossbit yeah and if you read past the first comment you will see how I corrected myself. But it's strange, when I first heard about I did remember seeing things saying that it was in part by the CCP.
Either way, doesn't change the fact that these devs caved, censored their game and gave the bottom feeding nationalists (probably CCP members) what they wanted.
@wildcat_kickz you're right on the government part, there was no "official" mandate, but they received a lot of backlash from nationalists and a ton of review bombing.
I don't think it's a stretch that some of those nationalists were members of the CCP.
@wildcat_kickz yep, I couldn't believe it either when I heard about it and I agree with you about the civilians part.
A lot of people like to claim western devs censor their games, but here we have a clear cut example of a government forcing censorship and yet those same people who complain about western "censorship" will have nothing to say about this or they'll defend it.
@LN78 gameplay surpasses the original in every way. 2 playable characters with unique movesets, being able to glide all over Manhattan for starters was a massive improvement and not to mention the combat felt tighter and more responsive.
Gameplay is king and Spider-Man 2 wears the crown.

Re: These New Xbox Prices Are Truly Terrifying for PS6
$1000 for a series X where I live is absolutely absurd.
Re: Sony's New Spider-Man Movie Obliterates Expectations with Global $927 Million Haul
@PercyChuggs typical American behaviour. When proven wrong, you just double down.

@tameshiyaku it'll be called The Slopyssey, starring Grok's favourite, CSAM.

@Divergent95 don't feel bad. These people need to be dogpiled on.

@Divergent95 they deleted their profile.
Re: 'I Feel Profoundly Disappointed': Stellar Blade Dev Destroyed for 'AI Slop' Music Video
@nessisonett I'm glad to be one of those 40+ who think gen AI is total garbage.
Re: 'I Feel Profoundly Disappointed': Stellar Blade Dev Destroyed for 'AI Slop' Music Video
Keep loading the (AI) slop into the trough. The pigs who root for it are more than happy to consume that garbage.

Re: This New PS5 Daughter Raising Sim Has 235+ Trophies at Launch
@Dalamar no one cares about depraved perverts getting equality, as it should be.
Re: This New PS5 Daughter Raising Sim Has 235+ Trophies at Launch
@ATaco that's because TLoU is a masterpiece. This is the sloppiest slop to have ever slopped.
Re: This New PS5 Daughter Raising Sim Has 235+ Trophies at Launch
I see the typical gooners are in here defending this eastern slop.
Re: This New PS5 Daughter Raising Sim Has 235+ Trophies at Launch
A step daughter raising sim will be the sequel.

Re: This Revelation Should Terrify All Console Fans, Particularly Those Looking Forward to PS6
Xbox is increasing their prices AGAIN?!
Re: Early Data Suggests Unspectacular Start for Halo on PS5
They'll get some more sales once it gets a good enough price cut.
That's when I'll pick it up, if I do.

Re: Halo Fares a Hair Better on PS5 Than Xbox, with PS5 Pro the Best Place to Play
@johndoe89 there's a woman in the game who's aware of social injustices? What kind of social injustices does she talk about it?

@Oram77 however will you regain your lost time?

PlayStation, the best console to play your Xbox games.
Re: Newly Independent Double Fine Has to Lay Off 23 Devs to Ensure Survival of the Studio
@Toot1st because you know all of their personal struggles.
Get over yourself.
Re: Wuchang Sequel in the Works at New Studio Formed by Original's Creator
I wonder if government forced censorship will be a part of this one as well.
Re: Insomniac's Spider-Man Finishing Moves Influenced Brand New Day, Says Tom Holland

Re: Japan Studio Couldn't Keep Up with Sony's Push for Games That Would 'Drive Hardware Sales'
@Dalamar yes, we know.
Trust me, we ALL know.
Re: Newly Independent Double Fine Has to Lay Off 23 Devs to Ensure Survival of the Studio
@Toot1st condolences are still appropriate for those who have lost their jobs.
Trying being a human and have some empathy for those effected, they certainly didn't ask for it.
Otherwise, don't expect anyone to feel sorry for you should you unexpectedly get laid off. Provided you even work.
