@NeonTiger Finding women attractive and enjoying looking at them is hard coded into human male DNA.

It's a feature to encourage mating in mammals.

If you think men enjoying looking at women is weird, then that's a you problem.

@NeonTiger You find women cringe?

Thats weird dude.

Any news on the UK prices?

I saw it was a Wrestlemania sponsor. It was in the middle of the ring.

@Greifchen Straight up lied? Did you even read the statment? Probably not, although it was posted on Crypto-sky so I can't blame you for that. Here it is again:

“We immediately investigated a concern regarding unauthorised use of artist decals in Marathon and confirmed that a former Bungie artist included these in a texture sheet that was ultimately used in-game.

“This issue was unknown by our existing art team, and we are still reviewing how this oversight occurred. We take matters like this very seriously. We have reached out to 4nt1r34l to discuss this issue and are committed to do right by the artist.

“As a matter of policy, we do not use the work of artists without their permission.

“To prevent similar issues in the future, we are conducting a thorough review of our in-game assets, specifically those done by the former Bungie artist, and implementing stricter checks to document all artist contributions.

“We value the creativity and dedication of all artists who contribute to our games, and we are committed to doing right by them. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.”

There is nothing in there that they didn't follow this person, in fact it's the opposit because they actually name to artist.

@AphexAcid The link I provided shows both. The icon post was linked to the other examples.

If that was too difficult for you to spot then I feel I'm wasting my time talking to you.

@Greifchen Following someone on Twitter is not proof of anything.

That's not how this works.

@AphexAcid That's the same post you spanner!

So actually look at the examples.

Some text, an arrow and some ASCII. - This whole thing is a nothing burger

@AphexAcid Don't talk rubbish.

https://x.com/4nt1r34l/status/1923067992981598562 - That's the examples provided.

If you've something else, please share.

@AphexAcid Meh.

Look at the "Examples". One is a line of text and a single word.

One is an arrow that I think isn't even the same, and the other is ASCII text.

Like, come on man; really?

Denuvo is crap and should be removed.

But the whole "can't buy it in 129 countries" claim is silly. I mean have you looked at the list?

Most of those countries don't even have electricty!

Looks like Designers Republic, this claim sounds like *****.

@TicklefistCP Did you know that every human being alive is a person of colour?

I myself am beige.

@Jrs1 And the rapid fire units

@PuppetMaster Unless this is on Gamepass then cross play is a moot point.

Without a gamepass release, no one will be playing this on Xbox; only PlayStation users.

@LogicStrikesAgain

Well I think the sonic thing does stand.

I think people are not looking at these female video game characters and activly touching themselves up while they play!

I think they find certain designs unattractive, but really the word should be replusive (even though it sounds harsher). People are being asked to relate to characters they feel repulsed by and that's never going to fly.

The Sonic design was also repulsive. Again not in a sexual way, but in a way that conficted with the video game design they were used to.

@Oram77 I never said I'd give you any.

I think you are getting side tracked here over my point, so let me get you back on track.

I think people are not wrong to voice their opinion over how characters look in a medium where the user is expect to relate to said character.

Edit - I just thought of a movie releated theme that ties in here.

That first Sonic design in the movie. Do you think fans were wrong to call that out?

@Oram77 I never said she was ugly.

In fact I've not even mentioned this game once.

I've just attacked the idea that it's okay to dogpile someone just because they want attractive charactors in games.

@themightyant I think your dismissal of peoples concerns is very tone deaf.

It's like you think anyone else's thoughts are not worthy compaired to your own.

Are you Trump?!

But for real, telling people that they are just ***** if they want attractive gaming charactors is not helpful.

I mean would you request ugly characters? If not why not?
If it doesn't matter, why bother with a character model at all? Why not just have a cube?

Yes I have added hyperbole to that, but that's to highlight how silly that argument is.

@Fishnpeas This is the way

Hold on......has anyone tried using this to buy from the Japanese store yet?

Strap it to my face!

@GirlVersusGame Asking the real questions

@KeanuReaves to be fair to you, most people are rational.

People that cry on the internet about Youtube videos are not normal people though.

Tits = Money.

This should be business 101 really.

1 & 2 is a maybe from me

I have 2.6TB of storeage on my PS5.

@freddquadros How's that Yakuza Dead Souls remaster going?

@Toot1st

Underated factual correct comment

Well, thanks Push Square for the codes at least!

https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=concord+ps5&_sacat=0&_from=R40&rt=nc&LH_Sold=1&LH_Complete=1

This entire story is not true.

Just look at how much money 2nd hand concords actually sold for

" Blu-ray discs PS5 games are printed on have the shortest life expectancy and are only estimated to last around 20 years under ideal conditions."

That doesn't sound right. Lets check the source....

So it's from a Gizmono piece where someone called "Ern Bieman"

And what's his background....

"digital preservationist"

Starting to smell a rat here!

I can't believeI got here first!

@sanderson72 Not sure why you hate the portal so much.

It's great.

@Ainu20 Fair play.

SAG already demanded Streaming Revenue Sharing from places liek Netflix:

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/streaming-revenue-sharing-actors-sagaftra-1235559427/

On the SAG-AFTRA they want a sliding scale on "Indie" games, so depending on games sales, they demand more money "Captures runaway project success with secondary payments,":

https://www.sagaftra.org/sag-aftra-unveils-new-video-game-agreement-indie-devs

But this big one which would boost VA's pay over artists and coders is the demand for residual pay, which is profit sharing.

https://www.vulture.com/article/sag-aftra-video-game-strike-authorization-explained.html

"In 2016, SAG-AFTRA went on strike against 11 major video-game studios after failing to reach an agreement over stagnating base pay, health and safety issues related to vocally strenuous performance roles, strict nondisclosure work contracts, and the lack of residual pay within the industry. "

"By the end of the 2016 video-game actors’ strike, many union members expressed discontent with the current agreement, saying the current contract still hosted lackluster health regulations and did not hold the competitive residual pay SAG-AFTRA initially fought for."

Some studios offer a bonus to staff for good opening sales, but not residual payments. VA's on residual on games like GTA would put them well above artist and coder pay levels.

Even games like Monster Hunter and Call Of Duty would do this.

@PerpetualBoredom SAG-AFTRA are corrupt though.

Like @ChrisDeku said, they hurt more VA's then they help, and exclude VA's from the work force.

@Ainu20 Sure.
Search "SAG-AFTRA want profit sharing on games"

@PerpetualBoredom

So you think VA's should be paid more than artists and coders?

Because that's what SAG-AFTRA are demanding.

I want to be on the side of VA's, but the union is demanding they get a bigger share of the profits than the artists and coders.

They better check their ego's quick otherwise their jobs will be gone forever.

@SuntannedDuck2 That's a lot of word to use just to say "No".

@sanderson72 can your PSP or Vita also play PS4/5 games?

News just in:
Rule 34 continues to be true.

Twitter link for anyone that doesn't want to use the block chain social media site

@Steel76 Did you say that about Life of Brian?

This place is weirder than 4th of July at Rick James' place.

I actually feel bad for that person Harada had a go at.

I looked up "Nijisa channel" and they have been making Tekken videos for 8 straight years and have 10000's of views; and quite a few video centred actually on Anna and gameplay & combo tips.

What's worse is that I checked the guys social feed, and all the "examples" Harada gave is just him gas lighting. This "Nijisa channel" person never said any of those things.

This to me just seems like Harada just let rip into a genuine fan of the character and made baseless attacks on them.

I just take it as given that all Xbox games are coming to PlayStation.

I think more people online claim to have a Steamdeck than actually have one

No thank you.
As someone who remebers when it was on TV; it was cringe even back then.

Yeah, Sony is going to win this.
