Very excited for this game.

@GalacticBreakdown you need to click on the link. Player count aside, they bring in money on the same level as Apex and COD through Steam. That's impressive.

@GalacticBreakdown it's gross revenue rank. It says it right on the page from Steam I shared.

Destiny 2 wins this platinum rank every year.

It's wild that some don't see the value in the IP. I'm sure Sony is happy to own the company that brings them in this kind of cash flow every year.

@HonestHick did you take all of your comments down from the article about ps5 price increase?

I am predicting now, even with this initial positive news, this game will fail to meet sales expectations.

@OmegaStriver use Duckduckgo and you don't need to worry about ads.

@DennisReynolds clearly you are not interested in having conversations with others who have varied opinion. I'm thankful that my liberal friends do not assume in the same way in which you do. It's nice debating and hearing their varied opinions. I wish you happy holidays.

@DennisReynolds you insulted everyone who has a different opinion than you.

You have opinions that I disagree with. I would never insult you. I still think your opinion is valuable. You view opposing opinions as "right wing".

@DennisReynolds there you go insulting again. You are not a very pleasant person to conversate with.

@DennisReynolds it's not a handful of people. Right wing "chud"? I'm not even sure what that means.

I am not trying to convince you that most people think that the character design is bad, but I will leave you with this. You will pretend, but even you truly know yourself that if they made that character look like a typical female and not a masculine one, there would be little to know hate on the reveal of this game.

That is not a smart business move, which is what naughty dawg is. They are not here to pander to either political side. Their number one goal should be to maximize sales and I'm sure higher ups at SIEA at least notice this negative reaction from the fans.

@DennisReynolds I'm sure developers at naughty dawg are hoping that. I hope they have some great future reveal that does eventually convince the normal people the character design can be overlooked and even fits this game.

@__Seraph I certainly do not search out the hate for those games. The top comments on YouTube for those games are all positive and express excitement. The top comments for Intergalactic reference Will Smith's wife and Concord.

It's not difficult to see the contrast in reception for this group of games.

@PuppetMaster I guess you think she looks masculine because of her short hair? Wild.

@PuppetMaster can you share one link to a picture of her on here where that is true? I don't know much about her, but I have yet to see a picture when searching that she looks manly at all.

@__Seraph are you insinuating that Ghost of Yotei has a more negative reception than this game?

@jedinite such a common sense statement. It is similar to the overwhelming positive response to Ghost of Yotei as I referenced earlier.

@__Seraph what?

@PuppetMaster most of the community agrees that naughty dawg did a poor job if their goal was to create an in game model of her. Most conclude she looks too manly.

There are zero pictures where Tati Gabrielle looks manly.

@DennisReynolds you still assume I need a character to be hot. Desire to play as a character is vital in character design. Many will decide not to play this game because of the poor choices when designing this character.

@DennisReynolds you are not very good at having a conversation with people who have different views. You become too emotional and begin to insult others instead of respecting other opinions and views.

@DennisReynolds unfortunately what you said is false. In fact here on this very site their were arguments pertaining to the face used for Peter Parker. Over 16,000 people shared their opinion in a push square poll

As far as your last comment, that seems rather off topic and certainly assumes a lot.

@PuppetMaster you are kidding yourself if you think that the character in the game is a an accurate portrayal of Tati Gabrielle.

@PuppetMaster I clearly stated that she is based off of that actor. The lack of hair was never referenced to her looking less attractive.

@MrHabushi the character is clearly based off of Tati Gabrielle. They are approaching this game the same way Kojima did with Norman Reedus. The other games you mentioned are not doing the same. In those games the actors are solely voice actors playing the role of a developer designed character.

So many people think that half of the population hates the intro to this game because of a female lead. That is so silly. Ghost of Yotei had a very favorable reveal. The like/dislike ratio on that game is tremendously positive.

The lead in this game doesn't even look like the actor who is leading her role. Naughty Dawg has purposefully made this character look much less attractive than that actor. The hate this game is getting is because the lead female character looks like a man.

This decision is either terrible or genius. Part of me wonders if this argument/debate the community is having is actually a clever way for the game to be advertised. Maybe down the road, naughty dawg has a plan to entice the people put off the game with a unexpected reveal.

I was excited and willing to pay. They lost my money when they decided to give made up, fictional characters pronouns. All they had to do was write a short bio about each character if they want to make their gender known. Giving pronouns is obviously pushing an agenda that shouldn't be a part of a video game designed to entertain and escape the political BS in the real world.

I think Concord looks great.

Credit cards are not awful like some are hinting at and can help you build credit when you are young. I've had this card for 8 years now and have earned over $2,000 in rewards. I've paid exactly $0.00 in interest. The perks used to be slightly better (10% back on PS Store instead of 5%), but it still has solid perks.

If you are a fan of playstation and sony products then this may be a solid credit card for you.

Game pass cost $43.89 more per year when compared to premium...that's over 27% more.

If you stop charging for online play, you will see a dramatic increase in cheating on the ps platform. For $80 you also get at least 36 games a year on ps5. That's less than $2.23 per game.

The value is still there, community is certainly overreacting.

It's amusing that some believe Naughty Dog is more capable of designing a live service game than a studio that has successfully supported a game with one of the largest online communities over the last nine years...

This thing doesn't even need to have a larger launch than a million units. Compare it to their TV division, which sells between 1.5 and 2.5 million units per quarter and their target audience for those are billions of people.

Launching with a million units to a much smaller pool of buyers is huge.

This being said, I don't trust the article at all. The guy has a reputation of spitting out things that aren't true for clicks.

@grapetrap
You are spot on. I've owned a scuf for ps4 and two dualsense controllers with extremerate paddles on the back. I just received the dualsense edge today after pre-ordering.

The dualsense edge is an incredible product and the price is justified.

The scuf got slow turn in the right joy stick within one year.

The extremerate attachment has worked well, but I had to order a set of metal paddles since the plastic ones kept breaking. The only issue is it wasn't very comfortable to hold for long periods of time.

The edge has slimmer grips that are rounded at the bottom. This has made it so I don't have to strain my hand at all.

All in all, if you like FPS games, this is a product I would highly recommend.

I feel it's important to compare the cost of PSVR2 vs PSVR when stating that it is expensive. PSVR2 basically cost 10% more when compared to PSVR at launch.

They way the article is written, it seems as if this thing is priced significantly higher than the OG and that the upgrades don't warrant the price point.
