They have to remind us of their hubris every once jjst in case we got too comfortable. The only thing missing was ending it with "Get down on your knees. I SAID GET DOWN ON YOUR KNEES- NOW!!!"
I had no problem with simply giving up Hollywood going on over a decade now. I'm so done with the manipulation and particularly the contempt from the gaming industry too the way this is going. I was hoping this would be a hobby to share with my kids when they're slightly older but now it's apparent that would be a mistake.
Imagine some dire situation, everyone is running away and pushing through the mob is some hairy 5'3" weirdo in yellow spandex and pointy ears telling you to "step aside, bub...."
@darkhairwarrior That last statement rings true. I think the biggest pushback is due to the fact that the camp of toxic positivity is very manufactured and disingenuous about what they present us, ultimately either resorting to gas-lighting or ad hominem attacks when they get called-out. If they were forthcoming about their product (or intentions) they still may be ridiculed and lose sales but at least ongoing jaded, resentment would be less prominent
Somehow a major area of contention was overlooked, as many complaints are also about the BlackRock-approved scripts and/or story elements that have to be shoehorned into practically every 1st party Sony game
Lame. If anything people seem more hostike these days to people outside their bubble but i guess the perversion being altered will appease all none of the modern audience members who will buy the game
Capactors will be the next RAM. They want to move people to cloud computing eventually so PC prices will continue to soar so the loss of physical console ganes will be the least of it. We wont even be able to own our own files
Remember back when competition was about trying to outdo your rival(s) with better products or value instead of waiting to see how one is going to **** over their own customers first so they can follow suit?
Used to be an xbro but the last 2 years have left me with little confidence and really scaling back purchases because it feels like one day I'll wake up to see the plug was pulled on their end and my entire digital library was a waste- and that was a feeling I had before all these ridiculous price hikes am Nd closures. Bill Gates turning out to be a degenerate supervillain didnt help either. This is the vibe you get when a huge department store is winding down just before you see it go to the liquidators
The prices for everything are stupid while everything but the value of paychecks is inflated. I have a 2tb series X PS Pro, Ally X, Switch and a PC with a 4090 but the content is getting lousy, the hardware improvements are getting negligible.
Would be cool to see a big budget game shadow drop. Considering how muxh is spent on marketing a game, i wonder how muxh of it is actually necrssary and this would be a cool experiment.
I had an odd occurance where I spotted a random basketball game at the top of my collection about 2 months ago. I dont play sports games so i wouldnt even browse it in the first place. I check my email and the purchase was made around an hour or so after I went to sleep. I didnt get any notifications about account sign-ins but was able to get a prompt refund at least so not sure what to make of it. It did make me paranoid for a bit with all the hacking news
While I dont trust the ultimate endgame of Ai (its certainly not for our entertainment), this looks like campy bad television I miss watching amd that I know will never see again and wouldn't complain
I'd love more Dead Rising but please g see this rid of the stupid multiplayer in it and please fix your games. It's quite offputting to see bugged achievements
@Slayer25c or it could be that some of us are sick of constant inundation for something entirely not organic and that nobody ever asked for regardless of whether its in media, entertainment, education, hobbies, their careers, their worship, et al.
It's pretty apparent Sony is trying hard to appease someone other than the customers who helped get them where they are
It's embarrassing to see Sony's head up their rectum with this stuff but go all-in on titles destined to be spectacular failures at the behest of investors and activists who not only hate games, but also Sony's core audience.
I wasn't as bothered by the crashes in Xbox but that game just lacked personality and was absolutely boring to play. I thought space and other worlds would be easier for them but that game was sleep-inducing. Fallout and Skyrim captured that feeling of exploration back from being a kid wondering the woods, train tracks, and abandoned buildings and Starfield came nowhere close
@carrey23 or he could be marching in lockstep since there are multiple others having the same problem with artistic direction, and its the same sort of people that got outraged about Stellar Blade and the rest. It's coordinated
@wildcat_kickz because the people, corporations, governmental figures, and NGOs that mamanufactered, fund, and dictate the terms of DEI are the same people who hijacked and marketed neofeminsim and the majority of other activism to all the people they invested in making jaded and more pliable
@wildcat_kickz actually its usually just the side missions that are goofy with occasional silliness injected into the actual plots (although 7 does it a bit more) Most of the stories delve into political or criminal conspiracies. In my opinion Y0 and 7 have the better stories
I couldn't get into on PC, Xbox but the incentive is there to buy it for PlayStation. The price is kind of ridiculous though and I think renaming could have been a smarter move as people will probably get turned off when they read a title that sounds like it's 2 years old
Could've played CoD on GamePass but lost all interest in the franchise for multiple reasons- busted achievements, activist crap, stale formula, decline in writing, etc. The last few before MS made the purchase were total duds. If they can't get me to play for "free", good luck convincing me to pay for it
It does look off as others said. Part of it is the palette but I think it's just the motion of the character, the acrobatics, etc. i really enjoyed Dead Cells and adore SotN but this feels like the generic Mirrors of Fate game
Better than last month for sure. I just hate when I buy a game I had yet to play (LotF) and then it gets offered free. I wish they let us pick 3 out of a select updated each month
@get2sammyb I really hope it gets fixed. I was very excited for this game since the old trailers. While expected it to be a bit sharper, it's still a very pretty game but those controls were something else. I only played the into up until the main starts off again by the river but for a game that's supposed to be so comprehensive, I found it odd that they don't even really explain much of the most basic control elements
What's the point in rebranding a name that's already established? Microsoft does this stuff all the time and unless you're savvy or familiar with the product or service in question, it just adds to confusion to most consumers.
Got the email. no thanks. Looks lame, doesn't appeal to me whatsoever. Give me good single player games without all the messaging. That's why RE sells and this stuff gets ridiculed- if people even want to give it that much of their attention.
