I’ll copy and paste my comment from months ago saying the same thing:
“People not understanding the importance of live service for PlayStation’s future, and being able to continue making all the amazing 1st party titles is honestly scary.
Not supporting the initiative that will literally fund the current and next generation of games from Naughty Dog, Insomniac, Santa Monica etc.
Its almost as if these people in the PushSquare comments have never read a single article containing Shawn Layden quotes.
Sad times.“
The thought process you all have is genuinely scary and shows a complete lack of understanding for how things work.
Did you see how little money Spider-Man makes from the leak? Risks like that will benefited so much more from a GaaS that takes off even close to Fortnite levels.
Single Player is the bread and butter of PlayStation, but that bread and butter is getting more costly every generation.
Shawn Layden said it, i’m just a believer in the truth of it, something you all apparently are not.
I got an email about reviewing Fortnite. Only realised when going to do so that I actually never downloaded Fortnite on my UK account, so I simply “Added to Library” and it let me review. If this is possible for other games its going to be a nightmare.
Anyway, I reviewed the game, and then read some reviews afterwards, and the nonsense 1 star reviews shown exactly why this will not work.
It is a hard one to approach anyway you look at it.
I just worry about those who just skip to the end to read the final summation and score, but I guess if their not willing to read the full review they shouldn’t be playing the game anyway.
@jrt87 I don’t think it’d matter tbh if they was Korean or Chinese like your example. I defo would have thought it was weird, but there’s still another character thats Japanese.
If it was just Yasuke then 100% i’d be calling it out too, but Naoe is there. So they obviously have some interesting dynamic or story to create with the two that explores the difference in culture or whatever, I don’t know cause haven’t played yet but we’ll see.
I just think this is a whole lot of overblown nonsense about nothing really.
Would I have preferred Naoe alone as a Japanese assassin, sure, but its not a dealbreaker by any means.

Re: How Much Would You Pay for Your PS5 Games? Dev Says Industry Is Waiting for GTA 6 to Hike Prices
Some of the takes on never paying full price for a game is why GaaS are being born left right and centre.
Its like you don’t realise you are part of the problem 🙄
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for September 2024 Announced
Amazing offering here.

@UntilRespawn you’re actually still trying to use Rockstar for comparison, wild.

Re: Crash Bandicoot 5 Reportedly Cut in Favour of More Live Service Games
@jrt87 its amazing how wrong that last part of your comment is about PlayStation.
Literally the reason to support Concorn is to fund PlayStation’s future single player games and yet people still can’t understand that.
Re: Sony to Short-Change PS Stars Members with PS Plus Renewals Starting Next Year
God people just moan about everything!
And most if not all complaints are from people who don’t even use the feature 🙄
Grow up.
Re: Xbox on Bringing Exclusives to PS5: The Industry Is Changing for All of Us
He’s basically just said that Microsoft have forced them to do this.
Makes sense, cause GamePass isn’t profitable and they need to make money somewhere.
Re: Xbox Renegotiated Indiana Jones Deal to Exclude PS5, Then Ported It Anyway
Early Access on Xbox.
Full refined version on PS5.
Love to see it.

@Zriggin1 thank you for this reply, been a stressful day and work and this genuinely made me belly laugh.
Every section was wrong 😂
Re: Rumour: Xbox to Announce a 'Big' Game Coming to PS5 at Gamescom
@FatalBubbles no they’re not.
But Forza is greatly overrated. DriveClub and GT are far better than either Forza have ever been.
The Crew just needs to pick a lane.
Re: Rumour: Xbox to Announce a 'Big' Game Coming to PS5 at Gamescom
If it’s Forza, keep it.
PS already has the better racer and i’m tired of this narrative that Forza is better.

Re: Randy Pitchford Teases Borderlands 4 After Tirade Over Flop Movie Adaptation
Borderlands is a great co-op game for gameplay, 2 being the best.
But outside of the same thing over and over, there’s nothing really there story wise to shout about.
Movie is still garbage though.
Re: CrossCode Creator Reveals Gorgeous Pixel Action RPG Alabaster Dawn
Nice!
Crosscode was excellent so can’t wait for this.
Re: Unsurprisingly, the Borderlands Movie Has Completely Bombed
Watched it on Saturday, such a bad film.
I feel like Borderlands would do great as a 18+ with blood, gore and swearing like the games.
Plus it’d be nice if they cast people correctly, Lilith (Cate Blanchett) and Tannis (Jamie Lee) were shockingly bad casts.
Re: Fortnite's Next Season Will Make Unthinkable Sums of Money on PS5, PS4
I was adamant I was done, but then they dropped the Jubilee skin, and this trailer.

Re: Dead Rising's PS5 Remaster Will Strip Bonus Points for Erotic Photos
Honestly, we live in such an embarrassing time cause this is ridiculous.
Swear we live in a society of babies.

This is already a greatly flawed system.

@get2sammyb that’s an entirely fair response tbh.

Re: Mini Review: Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters (PSP) - Passable 2007 Debut of Series on PSP
I find these reviews so weird cause the cons only exist in a modern lens.
Re: You'll Be Able to Play Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's Zombies in Third-Person
All signs point to a great all round Call of Duty this year 🙌🏻
Re: You'll Be Able to Play Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's Zombies in Third-Person
@Ribbitsneed Black Ops 4 was multiplayer only, Black Ops 5 is Cold War
Re: The Order: 1886 Dev Ready at Dawn to Close After VR Stint
@Deityjester could it have been longer? Sure. should it have been longer? Yeah probably.
But what it did I was very satisfied with and the sequel, likely titled 1887, would have only improved on everything that came before.
Re: Fortnite Adds Option to Buy Its Battle Pass Rewards After 18 Months

Re: The Order: 1886 Dev Ready at Dawn to Close After VR Stint
A game that absolutely needed a sequel.
Re: Reaction: PS5 Needs a Price Cut
Price drop is inevitable when the Pro releases.

Re: Oh No, PS Plus Email Spam Has Suddenly Returned
Why is this an issue though?

Re: Free EA Sports FC 25 Rival UFL Kicks Off on 12th September

As much as FIFA has its flaws, some very significant, no other football game comes close.
Re: Wreckfest 2 Plots a Crash Course with PS5
Played this through PSPlus, really great fun.
Would happily take a sequel.

Re: Deals: PSVR2 Price Gets a Hefty Cut at Numerous UK Retailers
£250 i’ll bite but this is still too much, especially with the PS5 Pro looming before the end of the fiscal year.
Around £1000 for PS5 Pro, Portal and PSVR2 and i’ll grab them all.
Re: Poll: What Are Your Summer Gaming Habits?
Nothing changes, work is work and occupies the week from wake till 17:00/18:00. Then its time for gaming.

Re: 'PlayStation's Blessed with Marketing Budgets We're Not Able to Enjoy,' Xbox Bigwig Bemoans

Oh yeah thats right, cause it isn’t profitable or successful.
