Re: Sony Returns to Social Media After 72 Hour Hiatus But Fans Still Aren't Happy Following Bluepoint Closure

Northern_munkey

@Titntin this whole generation has been something that's made me really happy with gaming and at the same time really made me froth at the mouth. I've played some of the best games in my life,discovered sim racing and met some really cool guys via pushsquare who are now friends on psn. It's also shown me some of the worst behaviour from people and with the ever increasing pervasive nature of social media platforms and outright hate bombing etc,etc,etc I fear it's only going to get evermore toxic. People forget about personal opinions (I include myself here) and are way too quick to judge and insult other gamers for daring to share their opinion. I'm unhappy about bluepoint being shuttered as I was about codemasters being closed down but I'm not heading online to spout hateful crap and wish unwell on people. Yeah this gens been a real mixed bag for me personally.

Re: First PS Plus Essential Game for March 2026 Leaked Early

I'll play this. I've played every iteration of the golf club games ever since they launched but I passed on this one mainly because EA's Road to the masters was the better game even though it had less content in terms of courses. I actually play golf for real and have a decent handicap but I didn't play much last year due to personal reasons. Will I get the time to play this in between my sim racing obsession and the fact that Marathon is about to drop? Time (or lack of it) will tell.

@LikelySatan I don't think I really need to point out examples though. It appears that your a seasoned gamer and have been around various forums so I think you know exactly where I'm at. I didn't mean to offend but in this current generation of gamers tapped into discussions and seeing how conversations usually go you can understand my scepticism at your intent on questioning me. Apologies 👍

@GamingGod I guess in terms of units sold then the ps3 sold more units overall (my memory was a bit hazy so I checked) but the 360 had much more stable and smoother games. On paper the ps3 was the more powerful machine but it was so damn hard to optimise the games. Only guerilla and naughty dog seemed to be able to leverage great performance from it. Remember bayonetta on the ps3? I find it hard to forget because it's performance was so damn bad. So I guess we are at an impass here because it appears we both have valid points and could go back and forth on this ad infinitum. Let's agree to disagree.

@LikelySatan I'm sure you can ascertain that yourself to be honest. There are so many areas I could touch upon that it would in all certainty take up all of my day and I really can't be arsed. This discourse between us appears to be a bit baity to me..almost as if you are not so subtley trying to be antagonistic. If this isn't the case then no worries but if it is I'm just going to move on.

@GamingGod it did though. The xbox 360 dominated that generation. Once the ps3 price dropped significantly it started shifting units. I got fed up of my 360 rrod me evey time so after the 3rd time I jumped to the ps3. Killzone 2 and the uncharted series were exceptional but outside of those 2 every other game seemed to be inferior ports of the 360 games. Towards the end of its cycle the ps3 sold pretty well but it's still the PlayStation with the least number of units sold. So yeah the 360 did give it a bit of a battering.

@ChallengerxUK it may be the worst generation for you but for me and millions of others that don't give a flying marshmallow about all this spin are simply enjoying ourselves. Concord is old news. Yes it sucks massively about bluepoint but to call this the worst PlayStation generation is a bit daft. Oh and I don't subscribe to X,reddit,Facebook or any other form of toxic gossip mongering sites..pushsquare is the exception to the rule 👍

Re: Sony Goes Silent on Social Media as Fans Turn Feral Following Bluepoint Closure

@JPEGMakima being the die hard souls fan that I am I have to say your comment is misinformed. The people bemoaning the demons souls remake are most definitely in the minority to the point of being practically inaudible. The real demons souls fans loved everything about the remake and its still one of the best ps5 games around. If fromsoft were to take the bluepoint games team under their wing I can only imagine how great further fromsoft games would be.
