Wait I need to make a Microsoft account to play sea of thieves on my PS5? WHAAAAAT!?!?!?! REVIEW BOMB NOW!!😡😡😡😡😡😡

I guess I should have remembered that Sony are not Nintendo and actually will do something if the backlash is loud enough.

This is almost as if Sony is saying "If you don't want to play by our rules then we're taking our toys with us." They should at least issue refunds to those that want them.

I still don't understand why nobody did a thing when Microsoft started forcing everyone to make Microsoft accounts on non Microsoft devices. Why was this the one that did it?

@boostsensei
You know, it wouldn't surprise me if Sony and Microsoft start integrating these things to try and force requiring a plus or game pass sub to play their games online. It must annoy them that PC players have been living without that tax and they could be planning to finally change that, at least for their games on PC.

I'd be curious to see what sorts of stories he could tell if he were "unchained".

@LordAinsley
They're the main audience for the game though.

"This is what they always intended"

So what, was Eve dressed even more skimpily during development just for the devs enjoyment or something?

Just port Horizon Zero Dawn to PS5 at 60fps, you literally don't need to do anything else.

I may be in the minority but I just don't care for the game very much to go out and buy it, physical/digital debate or otherwise.

@PapaGlitch
I'm not so sure how I feel about this claim when there are no shortage of those types of games on offer that don't wind up making much of an impact, if any. I think this is just the case of giving gamers who actually spend money on video games exactly what they want...and yes, it seems that attractive characters are who they would prefer to play as.

I'm waiting for Amazon to offer me another free month of prime like they usually do so I can binge through this and the next season of Invincible. Cheapskates always win in the end!

@BIG3
Honestly instead of a port I would prefer a full-on high quality third person shooter experience for Nikke. In my head I picture Gears of War, with it's heavy focus on using cover during firefights but instead of playing a bunch of dudebros you play as the Nikke girls.

I dunno if that's the sort of clothing people wore in the 90s but alright. The skater craze also didn't seem to get big until the late 90s either but I guess I could just be misremembering things. 🤔

@NinjaNicky "I have a preconceived notion about who these people are, their intentions and why they are upset and thus I will openly mock them because I feel it is the right and correct thing to do."

Like I said, two sides of the same coin.

@NinjaNicky It's funny to me that it's ok to stereotype people in this way. You're literally doing what you would hate being done to you. Both sides aren't so different afterall.

@itsfoz
Yeah everyone playing tomb raider back in the day just cared about story. Donkey Kong country and Super Mario Bros had excellent narratives as well.

Anyway from what I've seen is that people are upset that the devs lied by telling people that the game would be uncensored when in fact it was. Simple matter of being lied to and being upset about it.

I don't really like these types of action games but I'm happy to see a new IP doing well. I'm probably going to play Fallout 4 and get the platinum all over again.

Legion was a major step down from 2 but come on, 2 was one of my favorite Ubisoft games...why does Ubisoft keep taking Ls?

That won't stop the artists from doing what they do best.

@Northern_munkey
Y-you have to understand, back then when we didn't have easy access to the Internet we had to take what we could get!

Put your money where your mouth is, literally. Give yourself a pay cut. As CEO, ensuring that this kind of thing doesn't happen is your sole responsibility and you failed spectacular. Saying "sowwy evwywone" isn't enough.

@DeathlySW
There's a little bit more thought to it once you get to the more difficult content and the events do a good job of requiring you to actually play the game but for the most part I kind of agree with the auto battle sentiment. That said, I don't mind it much since it gives me the ability to be able to unwind and have a podcast or some YouTube video going in the background while I grind while also being able to actually focus on said thing. Besides after doing dailies every day in games without auto grinding you definitely miss it as it quickly becomes tedious having to do the same things over and over and over.

I was excited for this game but saw it's more of an action RPG and my interest diminished a bit. Not really a fan of that and whenever I see Genshin it's just like endless waves of colors and effects I dunno, maybe I'm just too old.

Im interested to see how well this game does commercially and wether we'll see another shift in the ever changing gaming landscape.

I really enjoyed the world of the first game but detested the combat. I hope the second game really polishes that up.

Man this was one of the first PS3 download games I purchased and...downloaded. I didn't even have Internet for the first half of the PS3 's lifecycle so it was truly an unforgettable experience both being able to download my first game...and play Modern Warfare 2 online. That's also the day when I realized that I wasn't actually the greatest gamer of all time. 😅

@Nem let's not pretend that Nier Gestalt didn't have Kainé to appeal to the "kiddies" as you put it.

@MonkeyDLuffy19
I actually agree with this sentiment. While I wouldn't go so far as to call it bland, I found it pretty annoying that you had to replay the game multiple times to get the full context. It felt more like padding than anything else. Still, the combat was decent and the characters ARE pretty interesting once you get through it and it still has one of the best endings in gaming in my opinion.

"As such we have decided to cancel the last game, thus not concluding the story. Thank you for your understanding. Instead please try our FF7 NFT mobile game." - Square Enix exec, maybe.

My plus expired and I'm still debating whether to renew with premium or drop down to extra. I was really hoping we'd have PS2 titles in the mix by now to justify the price hike but it seems like everyone is raising the price on everything just because they can.

I would appreciate it if they integrated PS stars into the console itself. Like being able to see my points and what quests I can do to earn more of them instead of everything being segregated to the mobile app I rarely use. What good are these trophies if you can't really admire them?

"We're very proud and supportive of our developers...unless they don't make us money. Sure we got in there and ruined each game with our focus groups but it's their fault not ours. Anyway talking this much was tiring, I need another 100k raise."

@LordFunkalot
The way I see it that Helldivers built a game that includes a live service element. Most other devs are trying to build a live service that includes a game.

I played one match (for the Hololive collaboration event). My team seemed to consist of generic default low levels while our opponents were all kitted out and clearly had quite a bit of playtime. We were absolutely stomped, so I uninstalled the game and...that was my first and last impression of the game.

Ubisoft just pumping out superior AAAAA experiences.

Games might be $70 but you'll often find more value and enjoyment out of games half that price!

These livestreams are usually pretty fun. I'm not a hardcore Nikke player but I do enjoy the story (when I'm not stonewalled by my level being too low). This game charges up the butt for things like $20 skins and of course the gacha so (hopefully) Stellar Blade won't have to.

@LikelySatan
Yeah, instead of incels we have people that are immediately writing off the game because the main character is, and I quote, "just a sex doll".

@Nepp67
Uh...ok? Thanks for the input.

@Nepp67
This was more aimed towards FromSoft and people that complain about easy modes in games, as if they are ever a detriment to one's own personal enjoyment.

Good to hear a developer embracing multiple difficulty modes and allowing people to enjoy the game their way.

I've been going back to older PS2 and PS1 games and with some of these games...yikes. I can't believe I never noticed the frame rate dips in them.

I tried this game out once and it just feels so...soulless. The characters either look generic or way too over the top...I just couldn't get into it at all.

With all the work they put in I feel like they more than deserve it.

There's probably some metaphor to all this that I'm too dumb to figure out. I don't like hard games so I guess they convinced me to put clothes on her. Effective strategy there.

If it happened once it can happen again. Might be worth picking up a portal down the line to see what else the thing is capable of...

I really want a console version of Nikke. Not a port but a complete game all it's own. It could really be the PvE overwatch experience we've been waiting for. It could be a cover heavy game, moving from defense to defense with each girl having unique load outs, skills and roles. I honestly do believe it has the potential to be something really fun.

I'm really liking Helldiver's 2 approach to releasing content. They keep some secrets for players to discover instead of detailing everything in the patch notes. Then you hear from a buddy that there's giant gunships and AT-ATs or whatever and you're like "Oh well I've got to check that out!"

Really telling that it's called GTA+ instead of Rockstar+
