Uhhhhh this is so frustrating. For whatever reason the game is bugged af - audio cues the wrong passing car sound that constantly drowns out my own engine sound, and somehow Voice Command is only supported on PS4 version and not the PS5 version.
@Ralizah That's fair. Though I do want to point out that you can choose not to kill the dogs (and human enemies) if you are skilled enough.
I somehow feel that the realistic depiction of violence in video games provides a chance for all of us to contemplate the nature of violence. When playing TLOU1, I always feel cherished in that I am experiencing all these violence in games, not in real life, and it makes me think about what ppl in warzone (Afghan, Iraq, Syria, Somalia) have to go through. And I think this angle is what ND has in mind in the first place with this title.
@panzermesiter74 You have every right to feel upset about a particular game, but as someone soooooo concerned with cOnSuMeR rIgHtS and whatnot, isn't it ironic that you just gonna make the decision to pull the game from the shelf and hide it from all your customers? Whatever beef you have ND notwithstanding, shouldn't your customers be expecting to see a game that everyone's talking about?
@Ralizah Hey Ralizah, huge dog person here. Also, there's nothing wrong w/ not buying a game you don't feel you wanna play, I don't understand what's so controversial.
Out of pure curiosity, do you find violence against dog in COD4/COD6/COD:MW hard to swallow? I love dogs but somehow doesn't even feel a bit guilty about murdering all those dogs in cold blood. Is it me or COD's take on dog isn't realistic enough to trigger an emotional response?
Sony's approach makes sense as it would be pretty stupid to give away the teardown video of the console to a YouTuber amid a deadly global pandemic as MS has done.
@Grindagger Hmm but way more people died in the 50s/60s in China when China went full speed with socialism (everything was owned by govt at that point). People here are complaining about this mishap w/ PlayStation today, but when we had total socialism (not democratic socialism, I should point out) ordinary folks don't even own umbrellas or shoes.
You think the reason why Chinese govt today is so sensitive about criticism, about ppl spreading the truth of concentration camp in Xinjiang is because of money? IMO they greedy not for money but for POWER. The power to maintain control. Money just sometimes happen to be a manifestation of power.
@Constable_What I am Chinese and I agree with what you say bro. Hollywood's decision to rely on the Chinese mkt for profits means that they gave up the right to talk anything about Beijing's human rights abuse/Tibet/Taiwan. The same could be said of NBA (and, to an extent, all foreign companies that do business in China).
The only thing I'd add is that Chinese people and the Beijing govt are two things. I think many of us are reasonable, hard working, open minded, (and yes some of us are nuts, but you get those in every people) but we have very bad leaders.

Re: PS5 Is Gorgeous in Person, There Are Surprising Features
@huyi Absolutely! MicroUSB is a very old standard and is inferior to USB-C in almost every way.

Isn't the first machine appeared in Horizon Forbidden West charger? As when Aloy riding on the back of a charger rushing on the beach?
Re: PS5 Is Gorgeous in Person, There Are Surprising Features
@get2sammyb Whether we want it or not, USB-C is the future. It is bidirectional, can transfer more power and transfer data a faster.
Almost all major phone/laptop maker is jumping onto the ISB-C train
