Re: Hands On: Kid A Mnesia: Exhibition Is a Truly Haunting Tribute to Everything Radiohead

Pablo Honey and the Bends are their best two albums and for me it’s not even close.

However all of their albums have been brilliant. This is brilliant.. other game designers need to look at this experience and realise what they can achieve in gaming. The scale and scope of some of the areas are amazing and honestly I’ve never felt similar in other games.
A hidden gem this will go down as.

Re: PlayStation Accused of Gender Discrimination in Lawsuit

@MatthewJP even then mate there are plenty of studies that prove women get paid less than men in like for like jobs all over society. Quite heavily. I agree a lot of places have wage structures and stuff that should protect against this but unfortunately it still happens. Even in 25k ish jobs.

Re: All Marvel's Avengers Cosmetics Pegged at $3,400

@naruball no they didn’t… you mean to
make or buy?

N64 games were £60/70….

If it’s recouping cost of the game… make less cosmetics….

And why don’t all games need to do this then? Did avengers cost more to make than guardians?!?

@themightyant you are right and your posts are spot on. Unfortunately the education system programs people to defend grubby practises. Too many replying to you don’t actually understand the basic concepts you are explaining and they are programmed to blame their fellow consumers rather than the man… society always blame the other little people for causing the ills of the other little people. Rarely do people realise that big business and governance is to blame… it’s why we are told to fear those that are different… sex/colour/sexuality/nationality…. It’s all smoke and mirrors - how anyone can see the figure £3500 for all the unlockables in a game and say - “yeah I don’t care” or “good I support this” is beyond stupid. These people don’t realise how preprogrammed they’ve become.

FIFA and Madden Ultimate teams basically have an unlimited cap on spending. All of these practises need to end and the industry need a self imposed cap on the amount one user can spend on one game.

Re: Cricket 22 Delayed on PS5, PS4 Due to Aussie Star's Sexting Scandal

@lolwhatno No not at all but from what I’m reading that’s not why he is “cancelled” - it’s because the woman involved says it was non-consensual??

Absolutely agree if married he shouldn’t do it.

But is an affair these days enough to get you to lose you job?

Humans make mistakes all the time and we all need to be better. Surely an affair is between the husband and wife to sort. We don’t need to sit judge and jury?

@lolwhatno consensual sexting you mean? I stand by my statement. You have to not do it because at a later date the person claims it’s not consensual even though the words clearly show it was….

Physical consent is very different as you can feel like you don’t have a chance to say no…. That’s why understand what consent is and how it works…..

On text…. She doesn’t have to type the stuff she does…..

@themightyant yes both are bad but people online seem to be using it to cheapen the original racism and that’s worse. Saying “but he said this” like that brings balance to racism.

Both are not ok.

If you know the case a few words on Facebook are NOTHING compared to being force fed wine… and the physical intimidation that comes with it.

@get2sammyb I had to google it…. Not the pics obviously but the scandal and the screen dumps of the convo it seems two way to me…. He is married so that’s bad but the messages were 100% part of a consensual conversation. You just have to not do anything like that anymore because people will leak it and twist it.

Re: Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - Definitive Edition (PS5) - A Stain on Rockstar's Record

Spot on score. Always take two off review scores these days…. 8/9s handed out like candy for above average games - 6/7… clearly these three aren’t an average game score they are poor so a 3/4 is right. If this is the average we want for games let’s take down and tents and go home the funs over.

Not throwing shade at Sammy. Scoring issues are not unique to this review.

Re: Unsurprisingly, the GTA Trilogy Is Getting Review Bombed on PS5, PS4

Stocksy

Why are we assuming this is review bombing? The games are unplayable for some. What do you give an unplayable game?

Pushsquare not wanting to “rush” a review and are “about a week away” speaks volumes. They don’t want to give a review and upset rockstar and they don’t want to praise it and upset readers…. So they sit on fence and leave us all in the dark. The opposite of what the exist for.

This is not a LOU 2 situation.

Re: That Weird Radiohead Game Hits PS5 on 18th November

Massive Radiohead fan here, was a fan before it was cool. Saw them at the Astoria back in day in the Pablo Honey days. Then Few times in Bends era and Also after OK computer released. Great band especially live.Looking forward to the new CD bonus with the re release of these two albums and this “game” should be trippy and an a experience.

Will deffo check it out….

Re: GTA Trilogy PS5, PS4 Preload Rolling Out Now

Stocksy

@MaccaMUFC rumours are the leak is fake. Google it. The list is bonkers if true. I’m ok with it if it’s all been replaced with other era specific tracks. I’m not emotionally attached to any song so if they bulked out the soundtrack with other classics all good - the soundtracks should be larger not smaller…. They could have pushed the boat out and added more IMHO. I guess we will see.

Re: Sony Quietly Squashes PS5's Dead Battery Concerns

Stocksy

Love the way any issue that people raise and just down played to a “social media scandal” - yeah we should let companies do what they like and don’t worry about game preservation. We are a bunch of entitled children because we’d like to play our games long into the future.

We all must try better.

Re: PS4 to PS5: All Games with Confirmed Free Upgrades

Stocksy

I know many many of us have already asked several times but this is still kind of pointless without an available now/date available column. Many of these still aren’t available. Available now column would allow us to check if we have any games we need to upgrade from the last refresh
