@Ichiban I take it you're not familiar with kintsugi.

@Jrs1 ...Wow.

I basically never care for alternative cosmetic editions of hardware, but these are rather nice.

@Keyblade-Dan Hopefully they will one day, certainly isn't impossible.

@Pat_trick As user @naruball already put it succinctly, "if they want to attract new gamers, it's irrelevant how many Sony fans know or care about her." If you don't get it after everything that's been said then I just don't know what to tell you. And as for your last peculiar mention, my very first comment here was expressing my preference of Japan's pop artist LiSA over this Lisa from Blackpink. Blackpink have hip--hop leanings, a genre I detest. A fan, I am not, I just follow the music industry along with the video game industry and thus understand popularity and trends in each.

@Pat_trick Record sales are objective, not subjective. That's proof of popularity, not entries in comments sections voicing subjective views.

@Pat_trick ...A joke? You seem unaware of her and Blackpink's popularity.

@Neither_scene Are you asking out of doubt or...?

@Ooccoo_Jr A less vulgar form of bull...

@TwinPixel I take it you're new to celebrity product endorsement deals.

@Pat_trick ...What?

@K1LLEGAL One and the same.

@PuppetMaster Because hearing of them has no requirement of an interest in K-Pop. This is, "I promise you I live under an actual rock," nonsense.

@Americansamurai1 No, they've used celebrities in commercials and endorsements for decades just for s***s and giggles.

Although most of you acting like you've never heard of Blackpink are obviously BSing for reasons too bizarre for me to want to even try and figure out... for those genuinely very not up on popular culture for whatever reason, if you watched the new season of The White Lotus, then you've seen Lisa because she played Mook (despite being in a K-Pop group, she's actually Thai).

@chriswashere313 You've really never heard of press-ons?

Japan's LiSA > Blackpink's Lisa

@Unsilenceable "No one is going to be thinking about this a week from now."

You were saying?

@Unsilenceable "Sure would be nice if most people focused on the actual game instead of a guy being on the biggest stage of his life fumbling it a bit. Was it kinda douchey? Sure. Does it really matter? No..."

He chose to wear a hat associated with individuals and ideologies many find repulsive and dangerous. They do not see it as only "fumbling it a bit" and just "kinda douchey." We live in the reality that we do and the idea of giving this game a chance is just not going to fly with a lot of people.

@ECharles Your idea just sounds at least twenty years out-of-date to me. I didn't care for what he said at all, but in the age of ubiquitous access to the uncensored internet and heavy swearing in as many mainstream games and television as it is now, I'm not sure how much time anyone spends on a theory that using the F-word is going to do much of anything for them.

@ECharles I think for every one comment that was made about his profanity there were around twenty made about his hat. The profanity isn't primarily what people had a problem with.

@Propaperpusher Cite where Sony ever said every PS5 game would have a PS5 Pro Enhanced version.

I take it the two of them set out on a quest for the world's greatest chiropractor.

Just thinking about a film-buff for whatever reason hearing about this complaint from their gamer friend, knowing full well that all movie tickets cost the same regardless of differences in films' budgets and no one complains about it...

@Dan12836666 ...Because?

@LifeGirl I don't know what that thing you wrote was but I'm just going to go out on a limb and guess you aren't in fact the first and only person on planet earth who wants to be treated like s*** in a video game, on the web, or anywhere else.

My condolences on confronting its title being stylized that way. Thoughts and prayers.

@Jrs1 I take it you're not sober.

@Coffeeglitch But they never did that with it. They clarified that back in October.

"Responding to a YouTube comment regarding the hero-shooter rumors, Bungie emphasized that Marathon’s Runners will have a “couple of base abilities” with a focus on player freedom and individuality, where each player can fine-tune their loadouts and abilities instead of picking from preset “hero” characters with assigned abilities. “Our goal with Runners is to give you a couple of base abilities to build your loadout around while still giving you a lot of freedom to choose what weapons, implants, upgrades, and consumables you bring in,” the developer explained. “This won’t feel like when you just choose a hero and then get whatever weapon/abilities are assigned to them.”"

@Boxmonkey If you think that's why so many people wanted the new Assassin's Creed to flop then you missed a whole hell of a lot about the new Assassin's Creed.

@JohntheRaptor Universally?

@Frmknst I think accounting for fantasy/swords and sorcery titles alone renders your comment more than a bit odd.

@Boxmonkey "CDs have a 50- to 100-year lifespan..." - the article

@Juanalf Disc rot will not be visually discernable but functionally.

@Oram77 The only downside I found with it was the Team Ninja loot flood you have to deal with from all enemies. Excellent action RPG set in an interesting time in Japan's history with a large, rich game world to explore.

Excellent game, would play it again on the PS5 Pro if the performance was better with ray-tracing enabled.

@PsBoxSwitchOwner Anyone thinks that?

@Porco ...the theory that anyone would be skipping improving enemy A.I. and instead would just seek to work solely on this is interesting.

One of the cooler implementations I can think of for A.I. in games.

@Perturbator By chance did you only play the original launch versions of BF 2042's maps? Because through updates DICE eventually reworked all of the original launch maps (locationally rearranged most to all of the elements on them) improving their playability.

@SquawkingTurtle ...you're giving it a score but haven't played it?

@breakneck If you believe you'll ever get a business to go with, "Well it'll already be profitable without this," over, "As a business we should try to make as much money as possible," then I absolutely have no idea what to tell you.

@Oram77 Might be fun if you think about it.

@darkswabber You literally just described "cosmetic only."

Thanks for your service as always Mr. Grubb.

@IntrepidWombat Apparently not.
