I'll jump on it sometime tomorrow and see it for myself. If I listened to every professional reviewer outside of this site I'd buy nor play any games. I'm skeptical how many of them even take the time to really learn a boss mechanic before complaining about encounters, or about complaints like no hand holding. I wanted a harder game with a grind and a world to get lost in, I'm fine with some jank too. I don't need or want the second coming, just a video-game to lose some hours in and make some memories outside of the story itself. It's a letdown for people who did expect more, it helps to balance expectations when clicking buy. Mine have already been met.

Meowdern technology.

@Boomers-r-us There's the announcement / prices.

@Werehog Well said.

I'm surprised to see no mention of Tencent considering they have a strong minority non-voting stake in Paramount/have collaborated with Skydance on various productions and are passive financial investors in the investment. It's not direct but it is influence in Hollywood/content. They stand to profit from dividends and valued growth if they go ahead with it, not to mention it would be venture-style investing in Western entertainment. They'd get access to HBO/DC/Gaming/Streaming and so on. It will be interesting to see if they manage to solidify a strategic foothold in Hollywood, it all depends on U.S. regulation of course, hence the passive role. That's how you avoid triggering a U.S. national security review on a major foreign investment. It's the same for a neutral shell company, U.S. regulation only goes so far.

I imagine they'll opt for no management control to avoid political problems while still having exposure in the deal (equally as beneficial) They don't want to run Warner Bros but they do want stronger ties with various franchises and an obvious profitable investment. Other companies like Amazon/Apple are pushing because it benefits their ecosystem and become a retention tool. The problem is that a tech company sees entertainment not as art but as infrastructure, they can monetize franchises across multiple industries, collect data and branch out to other products.

Then there's cultural influence too which shapes trends, attracts global audiences and strengthens brand visibility. I'm mainly focused on the potential shift in international distribution, it's a permanent revenue machine. Tencent also stands to gain access to some of my favorite DC franchise so obviously there is a concern there. They are still considered a National Security risk due to influence but you can go quite far when you fly the banner of a passive investment firm. It just means no voting control over board seats, or influence over management which Tencent don't even need or want. They are eyeing the big picture.

That was such a good read, great photos too and it certainly increased my hype for the game. I always love seeing different foley departments too, it was one of my favorite things about post production in film. It brings out some really strange creative genius. The whole thing felt like leafing through an old (good) games magazine.

@get2sammyb You should consider writing a travel journal sometime and self publishing it, people might find it interesting especially if you talk about the different studios and events.

@Boomers-r-us £15 isn't the worst price, it's just hard to recommend a game that really does feel so low effort. It felt like they rushed it to get it on Xbox as fast as possible so they could wrangle more people onto the system with 'only on Xbox' and it backfired for them just like Redfall. Most of the biggest drawbacks of the game are due to the games fundamental build, they can add updates but it won't change how bad their procedural generation is. That affects loading times in a big way and seamless exploration becomes impossible, which shatters immersion.

Then there's the Creation Club and the Starfield credits which they'll definitely push. I imagine they'll bundle it with Shattered Space which as a stand-alone already costs £30, I've seen the main game retail for £70 on the Xbox storefront. I can't see it selling any lower than £60. £50 for the game and all of the DLCs would be fair if it were a bug-free/stable experience, which it's not. It will probably be £60 stand alone then an extra £30 for the upgrade/DLC/1K Creation Club Credits.

@Chris250MY Genuine question, have you played No Man's Sky? I'm asking because everything you mentioned about bases on remote worlds, crazy mining operations, 100s of storage containers, all of that was done by No Man's Sky first and they've only improved on it over the years. That's a big part of why Starfield was such a letdown for me. I did have a baseline, I watched No Man's Sky go from strength to strength. Then watched Microsoft try to follow on Hello Game's coattails and it felt like the game insulted my intelligence by trying to make me think that 'this is gaming'.

Sean Murray could have charged for those years of updates, he could have also taken the money from those initial sales and ran. He didn't, he stayed and committed himself and his team to writing a real wrong. Microsoft don't care that they they released a less than adequate product, they continue to talk about it like it's the second coming.

I went from that (above) to one of the most washed or drab and low effort looking landscapes I've ever seen in gaming. They couldn't even get that part right. It was like having eaten fruit for so long and then being fed sandpaper. My eyes felt starved of colour, I'd seen one company do it right, then another do it so wrong. What I'm saying is if you haven't tried No Man's Sky it might be worth your time.

@TheArt I've never used Facebook/Twitter/etc, everything I've heard about them makes me glad for never having done so. I didn't know Joel dies until there was an article about the TV show here and someone said it. I don't know how Facebook works, I'd assume it has a feed that highlights the top news. I don't understand the mindset of someone stupid enough that they'd want to ruin something for everyone else but again I don't put myself in the position for it to happen. If I did use those sites/Apps I'd feel more concerned for my mental health than about having a game spoiled.

Yikes passionate feedback. I tried the game multiple times and my feedback would not be passionate. It's improved a little through updates but it's no where near ground breaking. Gamepass has never felt like an investment for me, just like Plus+ there's that feeling of 'this is free' but I did feel like my time was an investment and none of it went to good use in that game. Most games like that know how to respect the player's time, they balance exploration, reward, and pacing. I kept running into load times that took minutes, dreadful inventory management and the constant need to keep cycling through menus.

I love resource management games and can tolerate constant resource gathering (I'm doing it right now, collecting carrots to feed slimes) but there is usually a reward and a balanced system to make it all worth while. I can't name one thing in that game that did end up being worth while. I'm a curious player and if a game prides itself on exploration it needs to have something worth seeing, it doesn't. The whole game was barren and so very repetitive, that's even without mentioning the jank and the incredibly predictable combat. I played a Quake game recently on PS2 and the A.I./bots were more intelligent than any of the enemies in Starfield. That's a twenty six year difference, those bots are older than I am and they still wipe the floor with Starfields enemy A.I.

There's no excuse for a game to be that bad. I've played the worst simulators you've seen on PS5 even the recent Jesus Simulator and the only thing that separated them from Starfield was graphics and voice acting. I learned nothing from Starfield, Jesus at least taught me how craft a table, turn water into wine and heal people. What happened to Jesus at the end was less painful than the hours of frustration I suffered with some of that inventory management. The game literally tells you to pick up and loot everything and then forces glacial levels of encumbrance on you in the process.

Spoilers seem like one of those things that people find when they go looking for them. I don't use the surface web for much/don't use social media and my youtube feed is all music so maybe that's why. It sounds more like personal responsibility than any kind of need to delay a physical release or lock a game behind some kind of day one system. If you want spoilers you'll find them, half the games I play are years old and they've never been spoiled. I've also benefited from a lot of broken street dates and never felt the need to go out of my way to tell anyone, if I had Crimson Desert already I'd keep a lid on it.

The same kind of a person who would spoil the game a week before is the same kind of person who'd do the same thing day one and still ruin the game for a significant amount of people who are either on the fence or have too many responsibilities in their life to jump headfirst into the game, and physical or digital it wouldn't matter. It would still be ruined for people. The only way you can fix that system is by rounding up all of the people who do spoil games and either take away their access to the internet or put them on a remote island.

I had to drop a vote for the Astroneer, it was fun on the Switch and I'll be glad to try it again on PS5. I've played a couple of Warhammer games like Chaos Bane (copy and paste bane) Mechanicus (eagerly awaiting the more polished sequel) and Inquisitor (my favorite, I preferred it to Diablo 4) so maybe I'll try Space Marine 2 at some point. I pulled the trigger on Persona 5 Royal a while back as my first JRPG and wasn't disappointed.

Dread Delusion, Thomas The Tank Engine and Crimson Desert all in one month, it's going to be quite the balancing act. I'm hoping Dread Delusion knock it out of the park, the Devs deserve it and it will hopefully inspire similar studios to make the jump to console.

Definitely not for me but I'd rather see Sony offer some real variety and options than not. I still like to admire my piano black PS3 and do have a pink PS2 (it was a thing) so whatever floats your boat. I still think they look less low effort than some of those controllers that looked like they were decorated with a child's stickerbook.

@Boomers-r-us Have you tried The Invincible? If you like Deliver us The Moon and Deliver us Mars you'd most likely enjoy The Invincible. I played through it three times and thought it was brilliant. The writing/story follows Stanisław Lem's 1964 novel, both are incredibly intelligent, relaxed and rewarding. I was so into the game that I did read the novel and then tracked down a graphic novel that featured the origins of the game's box-art. I've never seen a studio do that before, it's a really slick game. The game's score is equally brilliant and it's a shame they didn't have a bigger budget for marketing. The box-art seemed to be the main draw for a lot of players, it's got that old and bold classic sci-fi aesthetic. I think also a lot of people thought it was a survival game, it's not. There's no combat, just one really well written narrative peppered with so many moments of traversal and memorable exploration.

@Burnish1619 Vice City Stories is worth a play too, if you can tolerate unforgiving A.I. and some of the most difficult missions in GTA history. I played both recently and there was a noticeable difference in difficulty. Everything required precise flying, shooting and driving, Boomshine Blowout will forever haunt me and any game or mission since has been a lot more forgiving.

I don't know if you're using emulation or the original discs but this might hit you in the nostalgia. They added those booklets with each game, they had news articles/advertisements for in-game stores and radio stations. Posters too which double as maps.

I'm done with Clontrol's main game, side missions and platinum so I might give the DLC a go. Though it's starting to sound like I need to play Alan Wake before doing that. Control was a 10/10 experience, a rare gem. I might tend to my coca plantations and candy labs on Cartel Tycoon, or check on my dwarves on Dwarf Fortress or perhaps look for a new Playstation Indie. I don't want to jump into anything too big before Crimson Desert next week, Slime Rancher 2 is also a strong maybe. Have a happy gaming weekend Folks.

Well that was bad timing, I just finished Control for the first time last night. Only one more trophy to one hundred percent and then it's off to the DLCs, followed by Alan Wake at some point.

It was one of the better games of the show, there was some good Lollipop Chainsaw energy with it and a little colour goes a long way when done right. Few other games stood out and I spent most of my time chatting to what seemed like the entire Ready or Not playerbase. LiveChat opened 2hrs early. The Moonlighter's dev's new project reVamped looked like an interesting take on tower defense too. I'm curious to see what people will think of that bike game, it looked like Pacific Drive, it was called 'Quite the Adventure' or something like that. The new Life is Strange looked promising too.

I've never heard of these and have been going out of my way to read books about 90's toys/games. The article title made me think Tamagotchi. But I've never played a flash game either, the collection seems well put together. Nice art too and it's great to see other game types being preserved.

I've made peace with the fact that not every game of this generation can be preserved and I'll take the good (big file size means big game) with the bad. I'm probably too busy preserving retro to let it get to me anymore, it's really rewarding. I still want to see him use that bow, so much of what I've seen so far has been with a sword and he wears that bow like it's a decoration.

That was honestly pretty lackluster, cringe even? I'm no expert on modern gaming but I don't know who the vast majority of those games were for. I dropped into chat early and met what seemed like the entire Ready or Not playerbase, followed by the Life is Strange playerbase but the games themselves weren't great.

Lego Batman however is looking better and they said there will be 100 costumes to unlock, the new Dave the Diver DLC doesn't look too bad and the devs behind Moonlighter are doing something new with their reVamped game. Tower defense/Dracula-vania. There was also a kind of interesting game called something Pines and a game that looked like a clone of Pacific Drive except with a bike. One game that seemed to be doing something different was Hello Sunshine, a survival game where you have to stay in the shadow of a giant robot as it travels the game-world, if not the sun kills you. I think it was only for PC but the concept was different. 1348 Ev Voto launched on the PSN tonight too, a game set in Medieval Italy that someone on here mentioned recently. It's a 3rd person action adventure.

The first one was brilliant, one of those gambles that I wasn't sure would pay off but the game-play loop is great once you start to get to grip with things and start pumping sushi into people. I'm not sure of the jungle theme, it's still the best trailer/game from the Future Games Show so far.

Day one honestly, I've been waiting for this ever since the original announcement. It's been a really great game on Steam but it's dropping so close to Crimson Desert. Tough choice, it does burn your eyes after a few hours so fair warning there.

At first glance I thought that was a new Evil West announcement or Evil West DLC. I forgot Borderlands 4 existed. As with most of their DLCs I tend to wait until they've released a couple and then just head back to the game, rather than dipping in and out as they release new content.

@RoomWithaMoose You seem clued in, do you mind explaining the gist of this in basic English? I do have a Portal and I'm not sure what this actually means. I haven't experimented much with the handheld yet, it was an impulse buy, like many Sony products and probably due to a little FOMO.

No because most of the digital only games I buy are Indies that I've played on Plus+ and I'm only buying them to pay it forward and support a small team who deserve it. If I end up paying a little more than someone else to do that? I already opted into buying a game I can play 'for free'. Would it bother me for bigger titles? I don't know, I tend to buy them through Amazon through the usual link which helps PushSquare. Other than Indies I'll go to the ends of the Earth to track down physical copies before I'll buy them on the PSN store.

I heard rumors about this through someone in BBFC, PEGI in many regions isn't mandatory it's only suggested and then it's up to that country itself to issue the specific rating. The problem is that the sheer volume of media means some ratings get rushed and that happens because they do trust that PEGI suggestion. If PEGI are pushing their restrictions higher then like I said about Germany yesterday, it's not a good sign.

It does protect children (in theory) but when the rating is higher in a place like Germany that product can't be advertised on a shop floor and copies tend to get pushed straight to online retailers. It affects visibility of the product which can affect sales. Most folks will only see this as how it affects the UK market, it could be worse for other parts of Europe. I had nothing good to say about the USK yesterday, they are almost militant in their approach to restrictions and ratings.

@PuppetMaster It plays really well too, I sometimes play The Getaway on PS2 and mostly to see what the High Streets used to look like. I've only ever seen real UK stores digitized like that in The Getaway and in a really janky GTA clone on PC called Streatham Hill Stories. People probably don't know it even exists, I saw Tescos etc. The voice acting was wild.

I have it for the retro library and 450+ games are more than enough for me to justify keeping the service. I'll never realistically get through them all.

@PuppetMaster Jumping Flash is there, I played it on Premium so I didn't need to break the factory seal on a hard copy. I'd played it on the first Playstation demo and needed it in my life. They added it on 07/03/2025 I'm looking at it right now.

A lot of the classics catalogue never ends up under the classics tab (on the console) instead they get buried under the default games tab, it looks like there are less games, they need to fix it.

Bad marketing in the West, if I didn't read about a Sega game here I wouldn't know it was on the store. I see Sony/PS5 marketing all over London and in every corner of the world I visit, but Sega? never and I only saw Nintendo when they opened a temporary pop-up store in Shepherd's Bush. The staff didn't know what they were doing, entry was by appointment/ticket and no one tried to sell me a console or a game, just 'look at all these plush'. It was the biggest waste of marketing I've ever seen and they were gone before Nintendo fans knew they were there.

I did buy most of those games, and they came through recommendations here. Two Point Museum would have been the last one. If they start releasing their retro library on PS5 I'll buy those day one, they need to release another Sega Collection with all of the games that should have been on the PS4 Collection.

@StrifeInMidgar My PC room is cold, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

I just finished a Lego gameboy and will definitely welcome a Lego PS1. It took three hours on the dot for the gameboy, the reason being that they do include the internals and those need to be built first. I'm looking forward to seeing what's inside and replicating a Playstation. Lego really hit the nail on the head with that gameboy design, it was a great experience. December is a bit of a wait but I'm game.

@Max_the_German Right? They did such a great job with the design and the feel of the set.

Persona Royal 5 was my first JRPG and one of my favorite games of all time, I didn't even think I'd like the genre. It's worth giving a try if you are on the fence, Royal is the best version of the game. The Astroneer isn't half bad either, it's like a cross between Satisfactory and No Man's Sky. Space Marine 2 and Blasphemous 2 make it a great month.

@TrannosaurusBex They treat it like the UK treated video nasties back in the 80's, the BBFC has since come to it's senses. I've seen them change some human enemies into robots, colour blood or remove it entirely, it affects online vendors like Steam now too. The Minister of the Interior feels that games that show violence against another human is harmful to a child's development, the same for so many adult games. They've confiscated games like Silent Hill then re-released them in a censored state after those edits.

For some reason zombie games like you said were a target for so long, Left 4 Dead, Dead Rising were all banned until a couple of years ago. The highest rating I've ever seen for a game anywhere in the world was 21yrs+ in the UAE, that was GTAV and it was banned up until maybe a year ago. I was really shocked to see a genuine copy, I'd only seen bootlegs. I think it's part of Rockstar's recent strategic partnership with the UAE Media Council and if so they might even see GTA6 day one. I've seen most Western games/media companies make visible or subtle moves into the region.

What I don't want to see is a majority shareholding being the reason behind external/Westerner censorship or even narrative. There will be nothing to censor if it's already not included in the original development cycle. I'm seeing a lot of proposed platform-level controls which means they could in theory influence censorship outside of their own borders, it would be internal and result in content not being included in the game period. If it does happen they'll call it the adoption of standards which should maintain profitability globally. In other words they'll say that certain content is offensive and it will be stripped to form a more user friendly experience. E.A already understand this and the ink isn't even dry. Battlefield wasn't a flop and yet they let their staff go. Battlefield as a series has a legacy, the only reason they'd move away from it is from internal pressure, I believe that's the start of that same shift.

@HomicidalGrouse I just put you on ignore, I told you I'm not listening and you are annoying. I play on console and PC, I prefer to spend my time playing said games than arguing with some faceless avatar over the internet. It stands to reason that nothing you say is going to change my mind. You aren't the majority of PC players or console players, you can quote figures, stats all day long. Gaming is a hobby for me not a way of life.

@HomicidalGrouse Why do you care how I decide to spend my money? and no I don't believe it or not that most people who play on PC play without Mods when every PC gamer I've ever known talked me into joining the 'Master Race' because of those Mods. And you think I'm going to believe you over those people? I'm not. Stop tagging me please, I don't care about this topic anymore and I already said what I wanted to. You can argue with someone else, have a nice day.

@HomicidalGrouse Are you talking about Death Stranding? I bought the game on PC, wanted to see how it would look and perform and then I tried some Mods to see what the Modding community had cooked up for the game. Upon seeing that most of the Mods cheapened traversal and removed the overall challenge I decided to leave it. Where's the issue here exactly?

I didn't choose to make the game easier, I didn't use those Mods. Did you misread or did you assume I used those Mods? I prefer a challenge, I use Mods to enhance the difficulty and breath more life and originality into a game. I'd already one hundred percented both versions of the game on Playstation. I'd hoped that playing it on PC would give me something more to push for by going through the Modding community and it didn't. After that I decided I didn't need to experiment with PS5 ports anymore.

I'll watch it. Maybe they'll show something random like Eurotruck Simulator 2 or announce some kind of PC title like Megabonk, console players need to experience that game.

@RedRiot193 They show up on some of my games when I'm in the UK and buy from Amazon UK. If I buy day one it doesn't happen but if I buy something niche a year or so later and it's not mass produced it can come through Germany. Amazon often use those regions for official stock and it's cheaper for Sony to print and package their discs in Europe. Up until a few years ago most Playstation games for the European market came through Austria and they didn't enforce a rating. The German USK are the first and final say on what goes through their region. They've ramped up their 'protecting the children'. Meaning if a game gets a particular rating it's illegal for a store to even advertise the game and it has to be sold under the counter not out on the shop floor. Many of those titles go straight to Amazon, not through their own retailers. It's a weird situation, I looked into it after so many of those Amazon buys did have those ratings and then I realized they'd stopped using stickers, they'd printed them into the original art.

It should be like that, where it's a peelable sticker. They'd printed it into a lovely collectors box for Persona Royal. I sent it back and imported from another vendor.

There's something off about anyone in the industry using 'unemployed' as an insult when they are fully aware that so many studios have been shuttered.

It has some serious TaleSpin energy. I thought I was watching Baloo in his Sea Duck. Lou even sounds like Ba-loo.

That P-69 Pistol is a really good blend of a Mauser C96 and a Wehrmacht P08 Luger. I wonder how well that will be received with the German ratings board, they were talking about easing up on censoring certain imagery in video-games and went even stricter. They've had whole characters visually changed in different games and are notorious for censoring or banning certain games. If you've ever seen a European game with a big green/yellow or red sticker with USK, that's them.

Physical collectors hate them and they are always focusing on online content/updates too. It looks like a great update but I'd hope German players don't get it cut from their game.

@MichaelNau It takes to have no empathy, that's been my observation and conclusion for quite some time now. When people ask how a Ceo or company can fire hundreds of people on a whim, there's no empathy there, they see those people as non entities and disposable. The peculiar state of mind is often psychopathy, I know many psychopaths.

As for getting a job rather than doing it, my only job did turn out to be nepotism, we owned the company and no one thought of telling me, instead they Truman Show'd be along and most likely did give me someone else's position. It was how you say a distraction, like playing house, and recent.

That was the entertainment industry, I was offered a position in the Russian games industry too. I couldn't tell you the first thing about game development and yet I could get such a position? I understand why the industry is the way it is now. People aren't earning those positions and it's not about what you know but who you know. Nor is it about keeping your customers happy, it's about keeping the investors happy.

If one property flops there are many other ways to see that return and most investors (speaking from experience) view their portfolio as no different than a black jack table, investments aren't always one core way to see a return, it's often a very viable way to rest funds in a particular venture while remaining anonymous. I see it all the time with Tencent, that's why they didn't have to disclose their interests in Highguard. It's pre-trade anonymity, they aren't proxy investors either, that's how they are avoiding regulators and why the US State Department are looking very closely at Tencent and their gaming division this week.

@MichaelNau I've lived in France/have the language fluently, I didn't have the term 'uncanny valley' but you nailed it with that description. Most of my acquaintances are lawyers, business men and politicians, they usually have some kind of redeeming quality, he's a rare case. I think ruthless is a word that fits. I'm just glad that comic book guy didn't have to suffer any more unnecessary stress. I was surprised no one mentioned his name being capped too, seeing surnames capped was strange for me at first. Similar to how Westerners write their addresses the other way around. I still tend to go address first and name last.

That's really in-depth for a shooter, this 'Fairly steep learning curve' sounds like a pro not a con. It sounds like it gives you something to work for and skills to master. It's nice to hear genuine feedback about the game from someone who's played it and taken the time to carefully lay it all out professionally.

@MichaelNau They tried to use common English to justify and enforce French law, that's why it seems off. You aren't showing ignorance, they tried to use a loophole that most likely wouldn't have stood up in court. They were gambling on the defendant backing down when really he could have and still can counter claim. Technically he could claim injuries due to sudden litigation, sudden distress, being the underdog he could go for a no win/no fee claim. Companies like that, or rather entertainment lawyers (worse than regular lawyers) bank on fear not real resolution. One of the nastiest lawyers I know is an entertainment lawyer, I'm pretty sure he isn't even human. He's the kind of person a studio or label tasks with scaring someone into submission and it usually works.

@wildcat_kickz They did go a bit too far with the traits system, it was better suited to an MMO than an offline single player game, I remember constantly running into recruits with the hiccups so stealth went out the window. The driving was awful, fashion was awful and the weapons (other than the Patrick Bateman nailgun) were non-lethal and boring.

I can't remember the story at all and I know I got one hundred percent. It felt more like The Sims England Edition meets a really bad version of Saints Row than any kind of Watch Dogs game. There were traits for instantly dying too (you the player) or possibly dying during a mission and permanently too. They did a great job recreating London, but there was nothing to do there except drive a cherry picker through Trafalgar Square. Most of the characters looked so haggard, almost like they'd been dragged through the streets face first or like they'd been pulled from that Spitting Image puppet show.

I thought it was Ubisoft France who made the game and it was some kind of dig at the English, it wasn't, it was Ubisoft Toronto. That Little Britain PS2 game someone mentioned recently sounds like a more realistic representation of England than Watch Dogs Legion. The streets were like Everybody's Gone to the Rapture because there were hardly any pedestrians. The only redeeming features were that KSI track (red alert) and Man Don't Dance (Big Shaq) I discovered a couple of good London rappers by going to see Big Shaq live and that lead to some pretty good UK Drill rappers too. I owe Legion for that at least, but nothing else.

I haven't tried it yet but if PS5 is the best way to experience it for the first time then maybe I will. Black Flag is more of a priority. Origins was my personal favorite, now Unity is sounding tempting, as is Syndicate. I thought I'd played Syndicate then remembered I'd played a Syndicate based mission in Watch Dogs Legion. There was a whole Assassins tomb down there. Which was all Legion had going for it, other than an accurate map.

@SMJ I only sleep for five hours per night, there are many hours in the day/night, I've watched all of these. There are far more but those would be some of my personal favorites. Star Wars would by over there on the left somewhere near those 35mm reels. I've probably seen every Horror movie of the 80's/90's on either DVD/Bluray or my personal favorite VHS. Movies are a kind of universal language, something everyone has in common on some level.
