Re: The Game Awards 2021 Breaks Records with Livestream Numbers

Stragen8

It went too long and showed too little games and too much blatant advertising.

Hopefully enough people feel the way I do that the numbers will drop next year and they go back to a better format.

It seemed too rigid and formulaic to appease advertisers versus a fun celebration for gamers. Less production and more entertaining moments please.

I still don’t get the hate for TLOU 2. I loved the story and it impacted me more than a 2 hour movie ever could. Spending hours, getting you to the point of hating a character, then switching to having to play as her for hours?!? Made me so mad at first but I love how they did it.

Re: Sony Introduces Game Trials, Try PS5 Games for a Limited Time

@__marc And i know for a fact on my OG PS4 my speeds were often capped at 3-4 MBPS while my phone would read speed test of 100. Now the PS5 does download significantly faster but that doesn’t mean Sony’s idea of timers starting at download is a good idea. Games are only getting larger.

I’m glad you have god tier internet but your experiences arent universal. This discussion is based on a bad policy not how internet bottlenecks are different for different conditions.

@GreatAuk I’ve had games/large updates (100GB) on my PS4 take over a day. That’s with 100 MBPS internet speeds, but the system downloads much slower. Now the PS5 can handle faster download speeds vs the ps4 but it’s still not at what I’m getting from my internet provider.

Before you go on an entitled rant maybe you should take a few more things into consideration. How about a multi family household where there are multiple downloads or streaming at the same time? How about Comcast deciding to have an outage while you’re download.

Re: Twisted Metal Creator Hurt by Sony Snub Over Rumoured New Game

Lolol this guy does it to himself. This is exactly why Sony won’t work with him. Game business of today and budgets of today can’t afford people like this as a liability for bad PR.

Didn’t he work on the last Twisted Metal game that no one bought anyways? Maybe it’s time for someone else to steer the ship. I have no idea what this guy has done since PS2 days.
