This stuff just makes me sad. We have put the emphasis on the wrong technicalities these last few generations.
I don't care about frame rates, particles, shadows, image quality or whatever. None of this stuff makes the core game or gameplay any better.
I'm more impressed seeing the various physics systems in GTA IV on PS3. Something we've left behind and something even PS2 games do better than PS5
@Cal_ I didn't. I said it's understandable these games can get banned. Also, maybe you should look into the Iraqi war a bit then. You clearly know nothing about it it seems. The whole reason that war started was BS. It was built on lies, for (oil) profit. Millions of people died for nothing. This was also the war where Americans tortured and did some pure and utter atrocities there. It's all there, leaked. You only have to look it up.
I'm not taking sides. I blame the powers at be. It's a war even Americans aren't proud of
@Retron I like that you added the last part. These topics are not only sensitive, but almost add salt into fresh wounds.
I remember my uncle being mad at me for play COD4. He was like "isn't this game about killing Iraqis as an American?". With all the atrocities that happened in Iraq, it's definitely understandable you'd be shocked to see kids playing as American soldiers in Iraq.
Modern games overstay their welcome HARD. Gamers also put too much emphasis on the wrong things: graphics, gameplay hours, ray tracing, framerates.
All of them shallow and don't make a game good. I'm more impressed playing GTA IV in 30fps on PS3 than I am with modern games.
SKATE 2/3 is gonna be more impressive than SKATE 4 for exactly those reasons. Back when games added value to the experience, the physics, the writing, feel, realism
@Medic_alert Yeah loved Bloodborne, but needed a guide with Dark/ Demons Souls. Couldn't finish Sekiro. Still love these games and would love to try this one if it doesn't require a guide to help you out if you're stuck too often
@IntrepidWombat
Never gonna happen. That'd be something positive for physical copies.
They want you to have a mentality where physical copies aren't even an option anymore. To brainwash you for their digital only future where they have all the power 😈
Lol another article blaming COVID and not the absolute dogpoo state of the industry as of late, flop after flop.
Publisher becoming too complacent and not only not giving the consumers what they want, but also spitting in their faces with unfinished, uninspired games as an insult.
This has nothing to do with COVID anymore. It's the same crap with Hollywood. People are tired of the pandertainment, low quality trash
@Fighting_Game_Loser Budokai games are incredible, lighting fast and circular 3D like the Tekken games.
The Tenkaichi games are like this one. Not my cup of tea either and I won't be getting this one unless it's dirt cheap. And I'm a huge DBZ fan.
I think this is more of a thing of AAA games sucking so hard nowadays with all their terrible writing, characters, pandering, virtue signalling and toxic positivity BS. People are tired and want something fun. This game delivers and all the power to them.
Would've been interesting to see Kakarot numbers...
So now lets hope they finally use this money and feedback to FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY make an openworld DBZ action adventure game with the quality of the Arkham games or the new Spider-Man games. FFS how many decades do they need to sit on the potential of this IP
@thebizniznizbiz
I feel the same for foorball games. I love the sport, but FIFA games are just sooo unbearably bad.
Rocket League is the proper translation to gaming and you actually play as one person inside a team.
Boxing/ fight sports have games like Sifu, Furi, or Tekken or something for me. The sport itself doesn't translate well, you're right
Fortnite launcher is utter garbage. It seems that every multiplayer screen nowadays looks like this.
Information/ ads/ graphics overload. Uninstall games at first sight of them.
There should be an option for "Yes, am Atlus fan kinda, but never played their games, cause they seem too daunting/ hardcore, but I plan on buying Metaphor (and their other hits)
I value my time more than I value 40 bucks. People didn't play this game because of the price, but because it encapsulates everything that is wrong with modern gaming. Go and fail again Sony, I for one can't get enough of it
I'll quit this hobby the day we go all digital. Shouldn't be too hard, because I'm already getting comfortable with the crap games releasing nowadays and not owning them anyway
As a huge DBZ, this'll be a bargain bin game for me. Bandai pumps out so many condensed or low quality DBZ games, it's kinda sad. We need a different publisher who does something big with it. Truly big. Not Kakarot, which was barely single A
@Keyblade-Dan You can have whatever taste in hell you want, but denying some of the best quality of games in the industry consistently is a bit baffling.
But it's always the same though with things that are regarded as the best. You'll always get people who just want to go against the grain for the sake of it.
With how utterly uninspired, generic and just pure garbage the industry is today, we should be begging for more Kojimas who put out polished products that go above and beyond
Man games are so generic in their core design nowadays, let alone their menus and meanwhile you have Atlus... This alone could persuade me to pull the trigger lol, I care for these details and they should really be supported!
@Shad361 Kakarot is such a low budget bargain bin garbage game. It's an insult that that game is so highly regarded by "fans" who'll buy anything.
Same with Spiderman fans defending garbage games until Sony got its rights. No people finally realise its potential. As long as Bandai keeps bringing out these low budget games, people won't know what they're missing. It's pathetic

(Though I admit I don't know much about that hacker story, but I do know he didn't like the lack of support the games got. Sony then shut the servers down afterwards and the headlines were blaming the hacker. Easiest blame shift in Sony's history)
@Shad361 I'm a big fan and I completely understand. These games always have the gimmick of quantities. You can play everyone, every power up, every series, etc. None of it is truly of the highest quality, ever. We've been getting the same DBZ games for decades now.
I'll buy a DBZ game on the day they make a true action adventure game with the quality of an Arkham game. I'm sorry, but I've just played them all already
@HotGoomba
If that were the case, this procedure wouldn't have been so successful, judging by Insomniac's lack of physics in their games
And if it were Ubisoft, the patient would've been let go in the middle of the procedure and told to come back after a few months to patch up a lil bit (not fully. Just a lil bit)
On the other hand, who cares about the leaks?
It's a piece of entertainment. I'll see it when I play it lol. Why would anyone be interested in the leaks. I haven't seen anything from the GTA leaks either
Totally sucks for the studio though, first and foremost

Re: PlayStation Community Reflects on Iconic Uncharted 2: Among Thieves for 15th Anniversary
What an era! My favourite by far.
GTA IV, Uncharted games, GOW3, Killzone 2, MW1/2, BFBC2, TLOU, RDR, etc.
The era where everything had grit. The writing, the visuals, the physics, the gameplay. Everything had weight and they weren't afraid to offend.
Modern gaming is like that SpongeBob episode where he lost his personality and shape
