@Smigit It wasn't until the merger of Activision Blizzard that Blizzard started heavily monetizing their games including WoW Classic which has led to a mass exodus of it's players. They took the lifeforce out of their games in order to make a quick buck on things like auto-levelling.
Bobby's Activision has killed Blizzard. They basically took all of the fun out of World of Warcraft, Diablo, StarCraft, and Overwatch. Great job, Bobby!
They were a big part of this year's Open Hand Charity Streams. And to all who are saying innocent until proven guilty, he's been proven guilty. He said for years that the money was going to all these different charities and that they've been working closely with them - and that has turned out to be a lie. He's been proven guilty in that sense, just not in a court of law. But, that alone is charity fraud. He accepted money for years and didn't donate it, and when it came time to donate they only donated to one charity and not the assortment to which he's claimed. He screwed up badly.
FINALLY SOMETHING NEW TO COMPLAIN ABOUT. WAH WAH WAAAAHHHHH. Holy smokes, just enjoy the show. Geoff's gotta run his show his way because it's his show.
There was so much care put into showing how those locations from the movie would look in a game (albeit a cutscenes). But, Jurassic Park meets Alien: Isolation? Looks incredible and is looking like my favourite announcement of the show. Probably not until 2025/2026, but can't wait.
@MikeOrator dude you are out of your mind. Rings of Power was bad because the hilariously bad writing and the way it ***** all over everything Tolkien has built in order to make a quick buck. You have some strange hang ups about people's genitalia and the colour of their skin. I feel bad for the people in your life who have to hear these opinions out loud.
Edit: yeah, if Elrond swan from Valinor to Middle Earth no one would've cared. Or if Elrond shepherded Sauron no one would've cared. I'm being sarcastic. Galadriel was always peaceful, from the exodus of the Noldor all the way through to the third age. Yet, yeah it's totally normal for her to completely change her character specifically for the second age only to return to who she always was by the third age. What a stupid take. Elrond was also laughably stupid in Rings of Power.
Having played all these games I don't know who's paying $30 for this nowadays when there are so many better games for $30. I'm Canadian so this is probably around $40 lol.
Premium is so bad lol. Release some bonefied classic PS1 games before releasing lower tier games. I'd imagine the only reason why they don't release more is cause studios are looking at "remastering" their old games and charging for them again (think Tomb Raider trilogy). But, come on... Digimon World 1 with trophies would kill my social life.
Bloodborne deserves all it's flowers and more. FromSoft at their best. Between fast engaging combat, amazing story and setting, enemy/boss design, chalice dungeons, and DLC. FromSoft absolutely NAILED it.
Damn. Cid and Vincent are my team. Ah well. Agree with what's been said about Cid. It sucks, but there's no way they'll keep him true to his character in the original lol
This is exactly why I hate Microsoft/ Xbox. As much as I don't like the direction Sony is taking playstation it's things like this that are why I will never support them.
Ok... One PS2 remaster on premium. I'm excited for Nier having heard so much about it, and unpacking too. But you know I'm here for the obligatory PS Premium is a scam. Advertised as classic games and we get PS4 "classics". Cancel Ps Plus
I don't know, man. Huge diablo fan (primarily 1+2) and I bought into the hype train and I wish I didn't. D4 is my biggest regret purchase in years. I'm not giving them anymore money. I hate the level scaling. It makes the whole game beginning to end feel the same. There's no moments like in D2 in maggot lair where based on the enemies and size of hallways that you need to change your strategy. D4 can be played blindfolded beginning to end just going off of audio cues.
In a way I get it, but I think it'd be smarter to take advantage of spooky season. I think that alone would give this game more eyeballs than releasing in January.
Canadian here, so knowing that the price increase will be even worse here I hate to say it cause I've been subscribed since the beginning but that is way to big an increase overnight and I will not be re-upping.
EDIT: For Canadians (rough prices)
Essential: $122
Extra: $205
PS Premium for one year will now cost $250 Canadian. That is BRUTAL!!
I'm a diehard diablo 2 player and I can't believe I got suckered into buying D4. This game is devoid of fun. How can killing a million enemies in D2 feel continuously fun, and yet D4 a mindless slog? To me, it's the level scaling. Terrible idea.
If there's one thing I've learned these last few years it's that whatever video games Chris Ray Gun liked as a kid will come back in one form or another 😂
@sanderson72 Appreciate the comment. It could just be my PSP then, it kills batteries. A couple years ago I went through three before I decided something was up, then of course I turn to Google which led me to others having similar issue. Figured it was everybody. Enjoy
Wow, I hate this. You better be sure that Sony isn't going to change cigarettes from Metal Gear Solid in a couple of months to cigarette candy. This is a bad sign of things to come for smaller developers. Sony should not be doing this. Censorship is bad

Re: Talking Point: What Do You Want from Sony and PlayStation in 2024?
1. Bloodborne 60fps. Hackers did it by changing one line of code apparently. Just do it
2. Aside from Insomniac, what the heck are all other PS Studios doing. Some announcements from first party would be nice.
3. Just announce all the Horizon spin offs already and move on to better game announcements
