I hope some day Rockstar can experiment and make a new smaller IP rather than just make games from the same two franchises in the same manner they've been doing for over a decade.
@Rob_230 I mean they revealed Dragon Quest 3 remake and Dragon Quest 12 just last week so I doubt there's going to be anything more for that franchise at E3.
@nessisonett I actually feel like dreamworks is somewhat underrated. All the mediocre movies they've pumped out recently (the Croods, Home, Boss Baby) seems to distract from the good movies they've made (How to Train Your Dragon, Kung Fu Panda, The Road to El Dorado, Mr. Peabody and Sherman, etc.)
@get2sammyb I mean I understand putting more effort into making their big sellers as best as they can be, but lets be honest these games were already going to be big sellers anyways. I feel like this approach is neglecting the other type of gamers who came to PlayStation because of its game diversity and not just its tentpole titles.
Before the Storm has to be the worst narrative game I've ever played. While LiS 2 was about meandering and boring in some parts, it definitely did not reach the lows of BTS.
@solocapers To be fair Cyberpunk even dips below the 20s, oftentimes to 16 frames per second or lower. At least GTA V managed to stay around mid 20s. Also there's so many other issues like crashes, ps2 textures, bugs and glitches compared to GTA that even in it's rough state at launch it still ran way better than cyberpunk.
@oldschool1987 Free speech is saying an opinion in a manner that is respectful, even if it's conflicting. It shows that even if you don't agree with the opposition, you still respect them and see them as a human being. If you are trying to get a point across, this is the perfect way. Hate speech is when you actively attack and insult a particular party, largely for reasons of race or lifestyle. Saying that hate speech should count as free speech shouldn't be an argument that is made. I know Hitler comparisons are work out but this one seems good enough for the situation If Hitler wasn't allowed to publicly insult, attack and hate on people of Jewish faith due to hate speech laws, then a large portion of his influence would've been taken away and the Holocaust possibly avoided. If we're talking about online video gaming, before blocking them you still hear them insulting you. And even if they get blocked they can always go to someone else. Not everyone has thick skin and can withstand slurs directed at them. People in vulnerable positions mentally would be affected a lot more. Besides if people aren't prosecuted for things like hate speech, then as time progresses other things will be ok to them. But if they're not allowed to spread discriminatory ideals, then it becomes harder for them to feel like attacks or more extreme forms of discrimination is justified. Also your argument on cracking down on hate speech meaning there won't be racist jokes anymore seems a bit faulty. I know shows like South Park normalized these jokes in a satirical way, and even if they're funny a lot of the time they still hurt the targeted group. Jokes are likely the core way discrimination becomes normalized in this generation. Why is it that we can't make jokes without hurting some other party? In a school in the country I live in a child came out so all of his classmates started singing a song saying "So Who's a Jolly Good Fa***t!". With your logic this is just free speech as they were joking. These kids shouldn't be in trouble for bullying right? Even if a lot of the matter is subjective, there are many cases when a clear line can be drawn. If a statement passes this line into hate speech territory, then it shouldn't be allowed. End of story.
@thefourfoldroot There are some toxic communities out there that probably need to be monitored and controlled. I'm all for freedom of speech, but oftentimes it crosses the line and ends up entering hate speech territory.
Tbh I thought it looked good. Maybe the character models look meh, bit the backgrounds look really good. Personally I feel like people are being a bit too harsh on it.
@MrSensical It's a business term not a literal one. Organic expansion is when a company diversifies it's portfolio by itself. Inorganic expansion is when the company buys another company, or forms a merger with one.
@JapaneseSonic I mean you're right. I just wish you could pay for it separately, or pay for the upgrade from your spiderman ps4 disc (not miles morales) instead of having to buy a whole new game and pay an extra 20 dollars just to get the old game.
