Might pick one up to use with my Japanese account.

I'd say get over yourself. So, you've been to Tokyo a handful of times? I don't think you have any idea of how eclectic Tokyo is. Coming from a 25 year veteran of this country.

Well, PS is really taking the p*ss now. And I mean PushSquare. Pumping out article after article on a daily basis that are purpose built for "enthusiasts" to click on, feels like you're playing your part in amplifying the negativity.

@Atreus97 what a miserable bore.

And I'm not talking about the State of Play.

"While I appreciate errors can happen, and I do think it’s good that it’s committed to cleaning up the PS Store, it’s obvious this dev was unfairly targeted – and it took articles like this one to raise attention to the issue."

Someone getting high on their own product.

@get2sammyb you're right, and this protest will likely not hit those numbers. And even so, picking a week in the dog days of summer is low hanging fruit.

Boycotting GTA 6 and it's launch week might be they only way to really disrupt things. But I doubt that'll happen.

Oh, look. It's gaming content on PushSquare.

Looks like a good time. Will check this one out.

I went ahead and bought the game, in part to support the developers, who have given us a unique and fresh experience with a vibe that invokes a beloved generation.

Isn't that what we are supposed to do as enthusiast gamers? We have an 8/10 review with 15 comments at this point, most denoting why they won't buy the game:

• presence of anime grifter
• lack of physical release (it's an indie)
• play on game pass
• wait for ps+
• didn't like the demo (this seems fair)

But let me guess, when there's an article about underwhelming sales, layoffs etc., the usual suspects will be out with their pitchforks blaming suits and corporate.

How about showing support for a small developer putting out a fun title for a minimal amount of money?

@LiamCroft like the resources committed to the 3 titles reviewed in all of June? Or maybe it's 2.5 as one was a mini-review.

@get2sammyb be great to get some actual Playstation game reviews then.

@Umphreak999 yeah... That's weak. Just like reviewing a total of 3 games in a month.

PS is positioned to serve the enthusiast and deploys multiple staff writers to service this niche. With the large uptick in traffic that all the industry upheaval has helped generate, there's little to no reason that we can't have both news and reviews.

But I guess it's much easier to capitalize on bad news than to actually add value. Much like it's easier to rail against the bad actors in the industry than it is to actually support it.

It's an old age problem coz at the end of the day most gamers are inert and actionless and would rather blame Sony for Gravity Rush's lack of sales rather than buying it (as an example).

Do you guys review games anymore? 3 total reviews in June, none yet in July.

All of this talk about the decline of the gaming industry but don't a lack of reviews hurt those companies/studios that are making an honest effort?

@Ichiban yeah, remember when they used to preview and review games on this site? Sometimes we'd even get strategy guides!

@get2sammyb so, you may have inadvertently exposed your readership to social engineering and that's your reaction? Don't you think a disclaimer on the timeline article would be prudent?

From PushSquare to PushFear. Do all the writers have a KPI of one negative article pee day?

@nikolai131 who is WE? Bold to assume you represent the entirety of the internet.

@naruball remember when the PushSquare community wasn't so toxic and actually enjoyed their chosen hobby?

I got labelled Unconstructive Feedback eh. Damn.

Considering what people get away with on this site...

Let's see then. Dynamic Pricing? Whoop de doo. It exists in all facets of life. If someone don't agree with the cost, they ain't gonna buy it.

PS Portal is my (unexpected) jam.

I'll take one for the team and let you guys know how they taste.

I'll pick some up for you guys

We had a number of tsunami warnings and roads, public transport and shops closed in my area but thankfully came of it so far.

@Max_the_German the PSP enters the chat.

Reaction? More like Overreaction.

Kinda looks like it was made using Dreams!

Why is that "gamers" want gaming to fail?

@get2sammyb "at least Nintendo can make the argument that its cartridges are expensive to manufacture".

Why do we just blindly accept this to be fact? Cartridge technology has been around since the dawn of gaming and is pretty simplistic all things considered. I'm not arguing that manufacturing Blu-ray isn't cheaper, just that perhaps we shouldn't assume cartridge manufacturing is prohibitively expensive.

@LiamCroft I thought I read in Edge that it has a mini game along the lines of Kick Off / Sensible Soccer?

@Vivisapprentice Or... You have more games to enjoy on Playstation.

@DennisReynolds sorry, I can't see the comment of the person you're replying to.

"The console’s unnecessarily complicated architecture"

What's up with the snark? Maybe it's complexity contributed to some of the special experiences we got in that era.

Monumental!

Always wanted to give these a shot.

A bit like a modern version of Hill Street Blues (the game).

Like LL Cool J said, don't call it a comeback!

This should be a trip!

@mac_da_man makes prefect sense. Thanks for sharing.

@mac_da_man just curious but why is it that you double dip? Is it about achievement/trophies? the difference in controllers? wanting to support the developers? completionism?

Did his cat die because he was too busy "gitting gud" and he forgot to feed her?

Pushsquare in mea culpa mode these last few days?

Perhaps you should stop encouraging it?

Fan the flames Sammy

@danzoEX great? Yeah, it was really good.

Excellent article. Thanks PS!

Insanely good collection
