Don’t wanna any “no games” junk around here! If there’s nothing in this list for you then you may just need to find a new hobby. In my opinion, of course.
What the author doesn't realize is it's not the games we love. It's the ability to complain. We never said we want different games. We were just wanting to complain about the current games. We'll continue complaining when the new ones arrive lol.
Anyway, I'm likely not getting either of these. As much as I love Horizon and Aloy, I really dislike LEGO games. Also, my backlog consists of Prince Of Persia, Dragon's Dogma II, God Of War: Ragnarok, Contra, Streets of Rage, etc. as well as my 10-years-long love affair with Elder Scrolls Online. Say to say I'm good as far as gaming goes. I really do hopes these games get snatched up by the ones who've been clamouring for something different though.
@GymratAmarillo from he opened his mouth I said he’s gonna kill XBOX. Oddly enough, Sony fans have always wanted Sony leaders to be like Phil. But look where it got XBOX 🤷🏾♂️
@Ergoshotz for sure. As a user who’s been on this site for years, I’ve seen people upset about Sony only releasing AAA cinematic games. Now Sony’s releasing an assortment of 3rd party games in many different genres and now other people are upset. Seems just like politics the way you can never please the entire base all the time.
As for me, I like what I like. When nothing is releasing that I wanna play I just the games I like that I’ve yet to play. I know all games won’t be for me and I respect that. Wish more people would do this.
Sony is beating MS in every aspect when it comes to console gaming. But MS puts on a better show so Sony needs to step it up? This is the weirdest, most backward 💩 I’ve ever heard lol.
@UltimateOtaku91 it won’t shut them up at all! Seems people who complain always find something new to complain about when their old complaint issue gets rectified.
As a gamer now for 35+ years I must say, I’ve only watched a single “game show” and that’s the last E3 Sony did. I’ve never concerned myself with this stuff. I just play games. Some games I play are the ones that people get hyped for (i.e. God Of War, Uncharted), and some are less popular. Sitting around waiting for those shows to impress you will ruin your gaming hobby. There’s always something fun out there to play but most are waiting for the AAA game makers to whet their palette. It’s not ever gonna be fun for you if this is how you do it.
@NEStalgia you’re full of 💩! You have 0 reference to put some foolishness like this out there. MS has never been crapped all over by the gaming press. But MS is also consistently in last place each generation and therefore gets the least coverage. When you’re 3rd in a 3-man race you shouldn’t expect to get the same recognition as those who are ahead of you. That’s how it works in every walk of life.
@LifeGirl so when people are calling others names and telling them they’re stupid or “paid off by Sony” because they’re enjoying their Portal. That’s not anger and ridiculousness? Hell, even in this thread there are people accusing others of being paid by Sony because they enjoy their Portal. Or do you not read those comments on purpose?
I bet a good percentage of the Helldivers community call at least 7 people “snowflake” daily. I’m often reminded why I prefer single player games over all.
My favorite part about this post are the people who couldn’t care less about rap or these people yet still went out of their way, on this vastly infinite Internet, to post about this lol.
@MrMagic all the recent activity in the gaming space has been childish. Even mainstream news outlets like Forbes and Vice have picked this up and also ran the Stellar Blade “controversy”. They’re laughing at gamers right now.
I’ve never really thought about the 1st/3rd party argument. Like, if all games are 3rd party and they’re all good does it really matter to me as the gamer? Let the people in the office worry about the other stuff.
ESO and Horizon: Forbidden West. You know that one? It’s the awesome game with the average-looking female protagonist because that was never the point. lol don’t take this down!
@MikeOrator when you see the response to this. And how Stellar Blade has the highest user score of any PS game. It’s easy to see who the people are who get caught up in the “culture wars” they complain about. When a game like Horizon: Forbidden West doesn’t have a half baked beauty queen as the female lead, they go online and trash the game’s user scores. Then they get the near naked, robotic beauty queen and they hail it as the best game ever.
Oddly enough, the people who can play Horizon: Forbidden West and Stellar Blade and not turn the games into political statements, don’t get online to flood user scores to fit their agenda. It’s just the weirdest thing to prioritize.
@AfroMario I don’t understand the whole “I need to relate to the character” thing. Like, I’m a 42-year-old Black guy who works in finance. I don’t need a game character to be any of those things. I don’t even need the character to be male. I mean, when I get a chance to make a character it’s often an Orc (If it’s a choice) or a female if the choices are only human.
People are too tied up in identity nowadays and that’s what leads to this. Most of the arguments I’ve seen about Stellar Blade is either people mad she’s near-nude. Or people praising that she is. Both are really weird arguments. Like, if you don’t like that she’s near-nude then don’t play. And if you’re exicited about it then you have more serious issues than just covered up game characters.
Crazy to see all the “I thought it would be higher…” people. It’s an 8! AN 8!!! That 2 points away from a perfect score and 7 points away from the bottom. Do you all only play games ranked (In other people’s opinion) 9 or above?! Yikes!

@colonelkilgore it’s the best one! Origins is great. 2 is hot garbage. Inquisition is why there’s another game on the horizon.

Wasn’t there an ad for a sequel at one point? Whatever happened to that?
