Re: Talking Point: Are You Getting Sick of Sony's Supposedly 'Samey' Approach to Story Telling?

This bit of the article is on point: “The reality is that grief and revenge are very natural elements of the human condition, and are the jumping off point for many narratives – both within the games industry and beyond it.”

Whoever critiqued Sony for this is grasping at straws. All storytelling throughout history is driven by a handful of major themes that powerfully affect the human experience. Love, loss, grief, revenge, etc. Good stories often combine several of these themes.

Pulse Elite connects to the PS5 and phone (via Bluetooth) simultaneously. I know this article is about headsets but the Pulse Explore earbuds do too. It’s great for listening to audiobooks and playing Power Washer Simulator. 😎🤓 One day I’ll quit my day job and open a solo power washing business. A man can dream…

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Delayed Again, Now Out 20th March

I read the article, then came to the comments to post what I thought would be an “unpopular” opinion that delays are a good thing these days in a world where big games get pushed out early and half-baked and polished months or even years after release. I’m very glad to see that most of you on actually on the same page and realize it’s better to wait for a more refined game. We’ve got plenty to play anyway. Happy gaming!

Too bad the campaign isn’t included. I liked the old campaigns. Like CoD 1 and 2. I remember them being grittier and liked them because they did not glorify war or make it “cool.” It felt more like the video game versions of Saving Private Ryan or Band of Brothers, where “war is hell” was the driving message. Maybe that’s all in my head but that was my takeaway at the time at least. Multiplayer CoD is a different bag altogether and not my cup of tea. This is great news if that’s what you’re into I guess, but I’ll pass on this offer…
