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.
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.
No because its not profitable and will kill PlayStation.
Only Xbox cough Microsoft cough can fund such a thing with an unlimited bank account.
GamePass has never been profitable and never will be, its barely sustainable and only exists still because its a product of a broader business goal/mission.

Re: Rumour: Xbox to Announce a 'Big' Game Coming to PS5 at Gamescom
@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.
Just when I think i’m out…
Re: GTA 6 Won't Be on Subs Like PS Plus at Launch Because Take-Two Makes 'Rational' Decisions
They said this a while ago tbf, they’re just reiterating the point.
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.
Can have a head chopped off or someone being eaten alive but god forbid you see some underwear.
Re: Sony Appears to Be Dabbling with Written User Reviews on the PS Store
This is already a greatly flawed system.

Re: Mini Review: Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters (PSP) - Passable 2007 Debut of Series on PSP
@get2sammyb that’s an entirely fair response tbh.
It is a hard one to approach anyway you look at it.

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
Wish they’d done this for the X-Men battle pass a few years back
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: This Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies Trailer Is Stupidly High Budget
@Deityjester imagine writing all that just to tell lies.
Re: Oh No, PS Plus Email Spam Has Suddenly Returned
Why is this an issue though?
Like, just delete the email or move it to a folder or whatever. Why do people cry about everything.
Re: Free EA Sports FC 25 Rival UFL Kicks Off on 12th September
Was genuinely a massive pile of turd to play.
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: A Big Bungie Project Has Been Cancelled, But It Wasn't Destiny 3
Thanks to Jason Schreier for giving us the facts rather than the initial report.
Re: Sony Boss Hermen Hulst Allegedly Taking Control of Bungie as Ex-Employees Call for Current CEO to Leave
Ah yes, Jeff Grubb.
Guess we’ll wait for another source to report on this also so we know for sure its true.

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.
Life with school/college/uni and that summer off is so greatly missed 😭

Would anyone have cared if Yasuke wasn’t black?
Doubt it.
Re: 'PlayStation's Blessed with Marketing Budgets We're Not Able to Enjoy,' Xbox Bigwig Bemoans
But if GamePass is so profitable and successful, why is there no money in the budget for marketing???
Oh yeah thats right, cause it isn’t profitable or successful.
Its only a matter of time before Microsoft pulls the plug on some part of Xbox.
Re: WWE Wrestlers Team Up in Warzone, Modern Warfare 3 Season 5 Update
Mami for “free” and a little purchase of Rey will do nicely.
Re: PS5 Police Sandbox The Precinct Gets Hit with a Delay into Fall 2024

Star Wars, Visions of Mana, Steamworld Heist 2, Black Myth: Wukong, Concord and more 😂😂

Re: Concord's Early Beta Extended an Extra Day on PS5, PC
@IOI unfortunately its a reality and its something you’ll have to get used to.
Why do you think they’re so desperate for a hit in the live service genre. 15 games in development to release by 2026 it was said at one point.
Re: Concord's Early Beta Extended an Extra Day on PS5, PC
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.

Sad times.
Re: Preview: Ignore The Haters, Concord Is a Good PS5 Shooter We Can't Wait to Play More Of
@Icey664 well hopefully these games succeed for Sony so you can continue using your wallet for first party games 🙏🏻
Re: Preview: Ignore The Haters, Concord Is a Good PS5 Shooter We Can't Wait to Play More Of
@Icey664 interesting you don’t want to support Sony in trying to raise capital that will continue to fund first party games long into the future.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for July 2024?
Amazing month, something for everyone.
Re: Talking Point: Was Sony Right to Resist Adding PS5 Exclusives to PS Plus Day One?
@Toot1st successful? By what metric, i’ll wait.
Never once has profit been mentioned, ever. Because it never has been profitable and never will be.
Sustainable is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT and doesn’t mean it’s successful.
Cheers Toot 👍🏻

Excellent selection again as always, something for everyone.

I’d get one if it wasn’t the price of a console
Re: As If There Was Any Doubt, a Sequel to the Uncharted Movie Has Been Confirmed
First film was great, will be interesting to see the story of the second.
Whether they follow the games again or drift off for their own thing.
