@GirlVersusGame Eh you gotta take it with a grain of salt. Iām not offended when people say things like that about Americans because it doesnāt describe me at all. And a lot of Americans, like people from any country, do kinda suck.
@GirlVersusGame The U.S. is massive and extremely diverse, arguably more so than any other nation. But itās easier to just say they ruin everything etc.
@Oram77 I certainly am. Going for the platinum so I need to do like 90% of all side content so just wandering around making sure I donāt miss anything. It really is a fantastic game.
@ashipaw Stellar Blade pushed roughly 9 million less copies than TLOU2 thus far. TLOU part 1⦠a remaster of a remaster sold 2 million copies compared to an estimated 1 million units moved by stellar blade.
@Th3solution Agree 100%. Although I think at least 80% of the conversation around the game is just absurd. Regardless I played it four times and got the platinum twice so itās pretty clear where I landed on in š¤£
@Th3solution People rarely mention the gameplay. Itās too bad because moving in and out of stealth using the verticality of levels and swapping between weapons is fantastic when mastered.
Even at $80 new thatās cheaper than when I was a kid. I am fine with it. Will continue my current habits. Games I am excited about I will buy full price and games I am interested in I will buy later on sale. Unless Iām bored and then I will buy them earlier.
@nomither6 Toxic positivity is the belief that people should maintain a positive mindset no matter how dire or difficult a situation is. The concord situation. This is overzealous brand management. A completely different thing.
@nomither6 What⦠thatās just brand management. It would be valid to think itās miscalculated brand management. Do you know what toxic positivity is?
@LikelySatan Itās part of the charm. If kojimas name isnāt in the open credits ten times⦠is it even a Kojima game? (I loved the first one though Iām there day one for the second).
@mountain_spider The only real important context is that he is a very senior employee. There is no reason he should be texting people from his job like this. Even if the full conversation absolved him itās ridiculously unprofessional and inappropriate and could easily be cause for termination.
@wildcat_kickz generally it would be yes. During discovery everything that isnāt a privileged document can be used in court filings so that neither party is prejudiced. There are exceptions of course but texts like these definitely wouldnāt count.
Sonyās investments in China and Korea are paying off massively without requiring first-party level money. While a small portion of the audience is asking āwhere are the gamesā Sony is bringing in a large amount of money this way. Hopefully we get some more bangers out of India and Africa where they are doing the same thing.
@wildcat_kickz if you are referring to the text messages he put the āprivate documentsā at issue by filing his complaint. Almost nothing would be private during the discovery process. Itās one of the first things a plaintiffās attorney tells a new client (or should). Everything will come out.
Edit: I defended a client on a slip and fall and everyone found out about the plaintiffs STDs. My firm didnāt use that information because we arnt horrible.. but everything comes out. Iāve had large cases with 300,000 plus emails produced during discovery and you would not believe what people talk about in work emails š¤£
@chrisPatsox Oof. As a lawyer I think when people misunderstand the law you educate them. Not be dismissive and arrogant. The general publicās misunderstanding of the court system and application of the law is a huge issue.
