@jrt87 I donāt think itād matter tbh if they was Korean or Chinese like your example. I defo would have thought it was weird, but thereās still another character thats Japanese.
If it was just Yasuke then 100% iād 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 donāt know cause havenāt played yet but weāll 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 PlayStationās 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.
@get2sammyb but the live service will be in your top 10? Because theyāll be your active/ongoing games.
If I want to know information about a specific game, then it makes sense that iād go to the tile for it no?
Same with anything really, if I want to know news about Call of Duty or Fortnite for example, then iāll go to the social media/partners accounts for info.
So the same would apply here, I want info on game X, so I go to the tile for game X where iāll see everything. News, add-ons, tournament info, live streams on Twitch, friends who play, time played, trophies etc
@Pat_trick I donāt recall reading an opinion tbh, more of a statement but I digress.
Heās in the same group of people on PushSquare and the internet that canāt provide justified reasons for Neilās removal and slating his games outside of being part of some weird hate parade.
@RBRTMNZ the problem is exactly what youāve said in your reply, he rarely knows exact information. So why does he continue to speak?
Iāll tell you, because it gets him clicks and views.
He could say āI heard that a PS guy was speaking to an Xbox guy and it may be about Starfield next month for PS5 but I donāt know for certain its just me talking out loudā. He knows its all nonsense but he says it anyway then cries everyone misinterpreted.

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

Oh yeah thats right, cause it isnāt profitable or successful.

Re: Concord's Early Beta Extended an Extra Day on PS5, PC
@IOI unfortunately its a reality and its something youāll have to get used to.
Why do you think theyāre 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: Talking Point: Was Sony Right to Resist Adding PS5 Exclusives to PS Plus Day One?
@Toot1st successful? By what metric, iāll wait.
Never once has profit been mentioned, ever. Because it never has been profitable and never will be.
Sustainable is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT and doesnāt mean itās successful.

Re: PS5 Needs to Do a Better Job of Alerting You to the Things Going on in Your Games
Each game has a news section underneath it does it not?
So youāll find the news there for each individual game, or am I imagining this?

Re: Xbox Explains Why It Shuttered Beloved Hi-Fi Rush Developer
By sustainable he means profit, of which GamePass makes none.
So how he can decide Tango needs to go over others is a joke considering HiFi has been their only good game in a long while.
Uncle Phil strikes again, absolute clown.

Re: PS Stars Program Seems to Be Offline as Mobile Icon Disappears

Re: Reaction: PS5 Livestreams Are No Longer Speaking to the Fans Who Built the Brand
People need to control their expectations tbh, its that simple really.
They have a new console to announced soon and have games to fill out the rest of the year (Concord, Astro, 3rd Parties).
Expect a showcase in November/February for a first party blowout.

Re: PS5, PC Fans Are Trying to Figure Out if Concord Is Free-to-Play
The fact that they promoted this finally and then announced Marvel Rivals almost immediately with a better in the same month was so dumb.
I understand 3rd party relationships but these two games are almost identical, overwatch clones.

Get over yourself councillor its not that deep š
Re: Sony Removes Naughty Dog Boss Interview Following Complete Misquotes
@Pistolega not sure what you mean tbh.
Removing the comment gets a little bit of toxic negativity off one thread at least. Iāve wasted no time personally so its alright.
Re: Sony Removes Naughty Dog Boss Interview Following Complete Misquotes
@Pistolega basically my initial reply.
He said something like āgood for removing the article/interview, not remove Neil entirelyā. Canāt remember exactly.
Pretty embarrassing post regardless. Glad PushSquare removed it.
