@nessisonett Trans activists don't "annoy" me at all. I just think they have a negative impact on the acceptance of the trans community by the majority of "normal" people. They represent only the fringiest part so "normal" people think all trans people act and think like them.
I think one Blaire White do way more good than dozen of these activists.
@nessisonett That ultra high level of testosterone is produced by internal testes... which is an extremely blatant and unfair advantage over biological women athletes. Caster Semenya should competes whith the men or the sports federations could create a third "everything goes" category for people like Caster. It is a question of fair play nothing to do with gender politics.
@Matroska You are wrong. ATB is turned based. It's just that your turn has a time limit. Would you say chess is not turn based? Do you play chess simultaneously with your opponent? Ofc not.
Anyways, I'm hoping for a good story for a change and for god sake, please not be another FF13 dud.
I'm not really seeing the problem here. Modern consoles are very similar to pcs.
By that I mean you are able to have higher frame rates and resolution on a recent computer but you can still play the same game with less graphical wizardry on a 5 years old machine. PS5/PS4 games will be like that.
@AFCC It was the same thing with PS3 when PS4 was brand new and it didn't stop PS4 from being a massive success. Most often then not, I ended buying both versions eventually, because the 60 fps 4k upgrades were too tempting.
Sony love for us to double dip or triple dip on buying their games. They are not going to stop.
Wow, a lot of salty comments here. I think it's a good thing because they should have delay the PS5 anyways, you know, with the current socioeconomic situation.
I don't think it will be detrimental to Sony in the long run because they will get the 1st day suckersto buy it no matter what.
@Enigk Yes, there is a 2011 film and it's about greek mythology... Well maybe they will have to change the name again to something like Undying Fire bird ascent.
@Olmaz I do the same thing you do, but recently, I've bought some indies games at or near launch and I've realized It's fun to be among the first players to get some trophies or to platinum a game.
@EVIL-C There's a difference between poor direction and handholding. BOTW pads its world with a lot of nothing. It's fine if you like to explore for the sake of exploring and crafting recipes but the gameplay loop is IMHO pretty weak.
@Slayn_Fallsmyer Yes gamers are silly sometimes but Nintendo fanboys in particular are the worst on that front. The typical fan of the house of Mario thinks that Nintendo invented everything when actually they are the Apple of the video games industry. They refine or just better brands something that was already existing to the point uninformed people thinks they owns/creates it. The rise of YT just maked it worse, especially in North America. I like Nintendo, but this entitlement about the supposed originality of BOTW needs to stop. If we are being honest here, BOTW sprinkled a bit of Zelda lore to a lot of old video games concepts. Not exactly a paragon of originality and it's totally fine because a lot of good games are derivative.
@vegeta11 Nah, I'm glad you asked because I was asking myself the same thing. It's kind of strange that we don't have any confirmation yet on this... but on the other hand we don't even know the price of the PS5 lol
I just got the plat for this game. I really like it and I don't get the criticism geared towards the game. Anybody on the fence that like Pokemon but wish for a more challenging game with a good story (you know, an actual rpg) should definitively buy this.
There are already 2 updates patches released. The developper listened to the complaints. You now have items that act like the EXP ALL in Pokemon. You have healing crystal lying around the wild that respawn. You have a toned-down difficulty (or so I heard, I was already almost done with the story when the change was made). You have higher encounter rates for the legendaries. You now have a run button. You have way less slowdown and no more crashes (I'm playing on PS4 Slim).
Anyways, here are the most common complains and why I think it's bogus:
The dynamic difficulty (level scaling) supposedly makes the game too challenging. Actually, it makes the grinding easier. Higher levels get you more EXP from battles. You also get a lot of permanent items later on that upgrade the amount of EXP you get. Also, it means wild Nexomon you capture will already be at a competitive level.
The money is scarce. Yes, it is, but nothing costs that much. You should always use free healing instead of items if you are not deep inside a cave on a quest. You have plenty of tamers to rebattle for money and you get permanent items to boost your gold earned from battles and items to make the stores stocks cost less.

@JRRR92 By Twitter logic, that makes you a TERF, so worse than Hitler.
Re: Harry Potter Author J.K. Rowling Is Not Involved with Hogwarts Legacy
@nessisonett Trans activists (not trans people) are pushing ridiculous things to accomodate their 1%.
You are going to see a push for transracial rights next and I guarantee you black people will be pissed by this.

Re: Rayman Creator Michel Ancel Retires from Games, PS4 Exclusive WiLD Going Super Well
I'm glad for him that he is doing a "Reggie"and not an "Iwata". It's sad when people works till they drop dead.
I guess that what is happening currently at Ubisoft maked his decision easier as well.
As for Rayman, I would like to see what a company likes Wayforward, Toys for Bob or Inti Creates could do with the IP.

Re: PS5 Price, Release Date Confirmed: 12th November in US, 19th in EU, $499 Standard, $399 Digital
Will wait for a 350-400 canadian bucks bundle. Probably not going to be a thing before black friday 2023 lol.

@MS7000 Knack 3 all but confirmed now lol.
Re: Sony Confirms PS5 Games Will Cost More
@TheFrenchiestFry I feel your pain. 15% tax rate in Quebec is ridiculous. I hate that they taxe digital versions too. Makes no sense.
Re: Sony Confirms PS5 Games Will Cost More
So, it looks like the rest of the world is financing the prices of the american market.
I'm not going to pay 106 bucks for a video game. Not unless my boss give me a big raise lol
Re: Take a Trip to Resident Evil Village in Latest PS5 Trailer
I feel like it will be a divisive title. Most diehard fans of RE seems to don't like the emphasis on werewolves.

Re: God of War Ragnarok Announced for PS5 in 2021
It's going to be GOW 1.5 and it's perfectly fine.
Re: Molluck Returns in Latest Oddworld: Soulstorm PS5 Trailer
I'm pretty excited about this. I'm glad it's coming to ps4 too.
Re: Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach Announced for PS5
I don't get the appeal of this franchise at all. It's like playing peakaboo with a jump scare. Not scary.
Re: Sony Believes in Generations, But Confirmed a Bunch of PS5 Games for PS4
@Wavey84 Seriously, 2013 is just 7 years, 1 year more than the average lifespan for modern consoles and it is nothing compares to old consoles.
May I remind you that every Sony consoles were supported for at least 10 years. I don't see that changing.

Re: Gods & Monsters Name Changed to Immortals Fenyx Rising Following Opposition from Monster Energy, Apparently
@Deadhunter Thanks for the trivia. Do you think it was intentional or just a cool coincidence?
Re: Gods & Monsters Name Changed to Immortals Fenyx Rising Following Opposition from Monster Energy, Apparently
@Enigk Yes, there is a 2011 film and it's about greek mythology... Well maybe they will have to change the name again to something like Undying Fire bird ascent.

Re: There Are No Words for Crash Bandicoot 4's Japanese Commercial
We have this kind of publicities in the West too, nothing strange here.
Re: SEGA Kicking Off Sonic's 30th Anniversary with Funko Pops and Energy Drinks
Funko pops and genital warts have the same value.
Re: Gods & Monsters Name Changed to Immortals Fenyx Rising Following Opposition from Monster Energy, Apparently
Another reason to hate that trash "drink". Also, that doesn't explain the "Fenyx" part. So stupid.
Re: Guide: New PS4 Games This Week (14th September to 20th September)
@BusyOlf It looks promising. Just hopes there's enough content. I'm kind of wary of Kicsktarter projects since Mighty #9.
Re: Guide: New PS4 Games This Week (14th September to 20th September)
Spelunky 2 looks even better than the 1st game. Will buy for sure.
Re: Immortals Fenyx Rising Gets Over an Hour of Raw Gameplay, Looks Like Assassin's Creed Odyssey Meets Breath of the Wild

Re: Immortals Fenyx Rising Can Be Upgraded from PS4 to PS5 for Free
I feel like the game was sabotaged by the marketing team. The old name and look was way better.
Re: The Panzer Dragoon Remake Will Come to PS4 Soon
@Snick27 Reminds me how much cost a movie on bluray? Surely more than 10 bucks?
Also, like Collette pointed out, its gameplay is very arcade oriented (replayability).
Re: Fans Expect Final Fantasy 16 to Be Announced for PS5 Next Week
I want to see a new Final Fantasy Tactics. Also, I'm way more excited for Eiyuden Chronicle than FF16.
Re: Immortals Fenyx Rising Gets Over an Hour of Raw Gameplay, Looks Like Assassin's Creed Odyssey Meets Breath of the Wild
I sure hope it's not too much like BOTW because that game bore me to death. Empty open-world with breakable items, what were they thinking?
