“Best cinematic experience you’ll find on the PlayStation” as a owner of switch and XSX - which games on those platform are better cinematic experience? I’d argue that these are untouched on any gaming capable machine?
@awp69 to be honest the most aggressive comments seemed to be on the side of Xbox. I own a PS5 and XSX. Sub to both now and GPU. Sony only fans have a right to feel miffed this week. I can only imagine the anger if Sony had pulled the same move from the Xbox only crew.
I am myself disappointed because third parties companies being swallowed up into Sony or Xbox will lead to less games. Which IMHO is bad.
We are where we are and EA will be next and that will be the biggest one yet.
"So competition is bad" How is one massive company buying up loads and loads of 3rd party devs - competition - they sit on enough dormant IPs as it is and have very little innovation.
This is the opposite of competition...
I own a Switch, XSX and a PS5 and for me this is bad news just as the Bethesda one was... less games will be released and thats a fact. xbox wont have an Activision AAA come out at the same time as a Bethesda or a few weeks apart and then their own games on top...
its less games for all of us. Including Xbox fan boys.
I’d like to say - lots of us use all three sites and own all three consoles. I’d love to see more cross site content. Breakdown some of the more hardline borders like we don’t like the other brands. Most of us like all plastic boxes that play games.
They could have mock NASCAR if they didn’t want to pay.
Also again everything is too clean. Motorsport is a dirty business not this idealistic imagining. All other racers have gone for gritty realism. GT seems to be going other way….
@Infernal I was clear I was talking movies too. And I can’t name names as it’s spoilers for people that haven’t seen.
Games don’t do it coz it makes no sense to in games. Tomb raider and Lara Croft dies?!?
Using Tom and Jerry is to simplify to explain to people a similar example to why people don’t want main playable characters killed off it’s not ridiculous…. It’s using an example of why people like a certain thing and why if you go the other way it’ll be a turn off. You don’t play a game to die and have no say over it. In 1 you are both characters. You are invested and controlling both. To kill a playable character in a game is unheard of because it’s stupid. The main reason movies do it is because the actor is leaving the character and that’s why 9 times out of ten they do it. Video games don’t need to do that.
The fact that in the setting people have in this very thread said “he was a violent man” says it all.
I am not against pushing games in new directions and being bold but I understand why people don’t want main playable characters killed off and why it’s a turn off.
@Infernal No, we need to be sensible and stop treating games differently to movies. Movie franchises when they kill off beloved characters it doesn’t go down well and often that’s not for “storytelling” but because actors want to move on.
Do we want a Tom and Jerry movie where Tom catches Jerry and mauls him. Or is that the opposite reason we watch Tom and Jerry.
Many find the current trend of killing heroes over played. It’s no longer shocking or clever it’s tiresome and a cliche/troupe
@tselliot no she questioned the need to call women - people with a cervix. She said can we not call women - women and also questioned if someone that identifies as a woman but has a penis and rapes a woman should go to woman’s jail.
They were the two main things I’ve read about anyway.
@nessisonett that is a terrible argument. So all the celebs that have spoken up in Black Lives Matter, shouldn’t speak up? Especially ones it “doesn’t affect” you are having you cake and eating it. Again you can say all these people are blaming Rowling all you like (and I don’t agree with her views) but again the angry cancel culture has gone after an easy target. Try challenging the people that actually cause harm, that actual set laws and actually wish harm on trans community and have conversations on topics which are maybe required.
Lots of National papers and news networks especially in the U.K. do more damage to trans rights daily than Rowling does. To blame Rowling is laughable.
Try reading the daily Mail and see their transphobic views and the comments section and tell me any energy should be thrown at Rowling. So of the defence against what she says is the same as when a man says “not all men” we all know the “not all men” defence is pathetic. I see no difference here. Listening to concerns and conversation is so important. As a community we have gone backwards and that is the main reason for hate. Even allies are being cancelled whilst hate grows and grows. Minorities are more marginalised than ever from main society. It sad to see. We often are challenging the wrong people.
@slips666 @hobbes242 she has never claimed anyone should be treated differently or shown any hatred for any other people. She has asked some questions about issues to do with problems arising with certain areas. To be closed off the discuss these issues and have a safer world for everyone is why such massive divisions exist in society.
She has not fuelled any hatred progress for one group that suffers discrimination can not be at the hands of another group we can find a way that everyone is safe and accepted and a world free of hatred. If you believe the biggest enemy of trans people is JK Rowling you really don’t understand the world.
She certainly shouldn’t be deleted from the world of Harry Potter because of what she has said.
It’s a sad state of affairs that she is at the centre of cancel culture.
We have a conservative government which is far more harmful to the trans community.
I don’t agree with everything she has said but progress happens from discussions and education and honesty from all involved.
@get2sammyb this is a shame. When I read above it can be played solo. I was thinking of giving online a go but it sounds like I’ve missed the boat and it would be pointless.
Picked up Miles Ultimate edition on eBay for £30 sealed a good few months ago and not actually played the remastered game yet. Nice little incentive to boot it up
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.
@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.
@MidnightDragonDX wow. You come from good stock. My first car was a grand and I though that was a lot…. I learnt a bit late and had a Saxo GTR… I miss that bad boy.
@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.
@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.
@tomassi the first screen shot I saw was cropped and I couldn’t tell which side was his side as it’s a back and forth. I don’t get it. Sometimes these things break and it’s fair dues. But in this case…. It’s bonkers
@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.
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.
