Each to their own I guess... I'm just thinking about the consumer perspective. You buy a product for £25 and you have them wait 7 weeks for them to play the game fully. 😵‍💫 It's not like it's Netflix. I have other things to enjoy outside 1 series for the same price, same subscription. A game, not so much.

Luckily for me, I only got it when it was complete. 😌 "But what about spoilers" — the internet isn't organic anymore, it's algorithmic. If you don't search "Dispatch" you never get it in your feed. I got people talking about it, but never interacted with it, so I never got it on my feed.

"PlayStation 4 — 17" .... Just put the fries in the bag little bro.

It's not weird to me it's not following Nintendo, it's weird to me it's specifically following PlayStation 😂 and not other Sony affiliated companies that would be involved like Sony Music, or Arad Productions, or even Wes Ball. I know Playstation heavily markets Sony Pictures films, but surely not, that can't be it

Nintendo Pictures is a funny thought, but perhaps they saw the value of mocap 15 years after it was a thing.

Belle is the best protagonist Hoyo has made, design and personality.

I'm already suffering enough with Marvel Rivals and that game is free. I'm not paying to suffer more.

Good luck to everyone starting this game, I quitted because I cannot be asked with the grind for this game. 150+ sessions to max 1 character to level 60? Crazy work. It's way more than Genshin and Star Rail.

Funny, they implement these to keep you playing, all it did was make me stop playing

Psylocke and Namor mains: Haha, easy picks. 😂
If the rest of the team focuses on the ground, the snipers can handle the flying units with ease.

@Ajfennell77 Someone pointed out that Drake and J. Cole started the beef with a song called "First Person Shooter". So Kendrick has a Playstation inspired stage with a game going and at the end it says "Game Over".

Nothing will stop me, I'll Date Everything whenever, wherever (if appropriate), you dig?

I've been saying the same thing for many years, no one listens to me 😞😞

See? I said the same thing. But PlayStation needs to make a live service game that already has a fandom, i.e. The Last of Us, Killzone etc. Don't pump a little ve service game with unknown characters, nonexistent background and expect people to fall in love. You need motive. It's like they have no one who knows how to do branding.

Hire me, PlayStation.

We are so back, boys!!! I want to see what they're cooking up with this title.

@Meowmixes98 Europe would rip Sony a new one if they tried to do that. Google was forced to remove Chrome as a pre-installed browser. So I don't see how Sony could do it without facing legal issues.

@JohntheRaptor would you prefer paid gacha?

Top Tier Hoyo game! I'd say this is how to do a successful live service game. Entertaining, new features every 2 or so updates, cool characters, intriguing lore, generous. Ofc, they have a lot of fix still, but as far as the bar goes, this one is high af

Live service isn't the issue, prime example Marvel Rivals released after Concord is making serious waves. Sony just needs to make a serious commitment to explore new ways to play and ofc free to play. If Nintendo of all people can make a live service game and people don't cry about it, anyone can.

The game features Poker, Blackjack or equivalent, right? If that's the main core gameplay, it makes sense why they would be rated +18. EA FC are rated +3 because the core gameplay doesn't involve gambling for loot boxes. It's optional. In Balatro, it's not optional to play Poker, even if real money isn't involved, the theme is largely surrounded by Poker.

I understand the criticism, but it is what it is. You could replace it with a whimsical, colourful, rainbows loose version of russian roulette, PEGI will slap an +18 Age Rating so fast, you won't see the email confirmation.

This is the best possible outcome. Everybody wins, Kadokawa remains Japanese, Sony gets new IPs, everyone gets games, and I get Live action films. I see this as an absolute win.

When PS6 comes out, PS4 will still be getting the new games. PlayStation shouldn't be focusing on innovating technology, they should invest in Innovating gameplay

Bruh no PC? 💀 oh nah gang, please say it ain't so

She's a great actress! I have no doubts she'll smash this role 🙌 Although, I'm interested to know if Tony Dalton is reprising his character 👀

I actually liked Intergalactic trailer. From what I gather it's a bounty hunter game in space. I've been romanticising this idea for many years and even wrote a story about it. I'm game, definitely interested to see what they do, the potential is endless, anything close to Cowboy Bepop is a W in my book. I'm hoping we can fly into a planet and leave without loading screens. The idea makes me bricked up 😂

So the whole Pearlman story will conclude and a new story starts anew with zero connection to the previous one? Are they going to continue the mystery of where Fairy came from and the Victoria Housekeeping connection with their secret employer? What does it mean "a brand new story" in the context of this game?

Nah big bro, I'll be fast asleep dreaming about horses and rainbows. I'm not losing any sleep over "game of the year", no matter who wins, someone will say rigged and be upset. Why bother?

Edit: so uhm why can't we like our own comments? 🤔 I never noticed I couldn't do it. I wish to be able to like my own comments, all those in favour of this motion, please raise your hand 🙋‍♂️

Why can't it be just an award show where they stroke each other's ego, get their little awards and go home? They "hyping" business ain't it, always trying to do more than needed, just like the game industry.

What Lego game on Steam is doing better?

Is this a PlayStation dub or nah?

In my opinion, they should cancel the episode. I'm trying to buy the IP, I can't have collaterals give it value. It better be the worst episode in the show.

@Nepp67 no mode seller. It's just a copy of a copy, nothing unique about it.

@MeanBeanEgg have you seen the monkey one? I'm no hater, but like... Idk Imma stay quiet if I start talking, I'll get everyone in trouble.

Am I just lucky? I didn't get any performance issues while playing. No major frames were dropped and the performance was consistent throughout my experience. 🤔

Oh well, I'll buy the IP if you don't want it Sony.

That'll be me when I buy Concord off PlayStation

That means I can repurpose their logo, right?? 🤔 Don't mind if I do. Did they have a website? It's finders keepers season.

They should do it and push for Playstation Network like Xbox does for their titles and subsequently push the same on PC 🤭🤭 since 2 platforms have to sign in.

I'M NOT PULLING 😤 I'm exercising resistance and saving myself for 3.x (pray for me)

It's just like how Apple doesn't put a charger in iPhone boxes anymore, people who are going to buy it already have it. 🤷‍♂️

Usually I get keys because I don't appreciate monopolised industries. But at the same time, I've realised that with PlayStation and Nintendo, you're paying the extra tax that comes with their brand. On PC you don't have that tax. If I have to wait a year to play a game, I'll wait. There's other things I can do for, playing a game day one isn't priority.

@GreatAuk You're being very reasonable and in that regard, you're 100% correct, this is likely what happened. Maybe it's because we have different views and see this issue differently — I don't know how you see it, but to me it's just romanticising the idea of "What If..?", stories are told on what ifs, I'd say this is one of them.

The existence of this game is indeed only because Yasuke was black and ended up in Japan. Before arriving in Japan, Yasuke was in India and we don't have a game about that, if Yasuke ended up in the Middle East, we wouldn't have a game about it. If Yasuke never left African, we wouldn't have a game about it either, but it's not because Ubisoft, it just so happens the West romances Japan a lot more than MENA. The only game the West loves about MENA is Call of Duty where you shoot Arabs.

Me personally, no I wouldn't. I love stories, as unlikely as they may be. I would love for them to try, but we'll never see it because it's against correct politics. I'm as black and white as they come, either it's all bad or they're all allowed. If it's ok for a black man in Japan bashing Japanese than it's ok for a white man in Africa bashing Africans.
PS: I survived 2 Human Centipede films, don't ask me to be normal.

@GreatAuk In what aspect? If you're referring to choosing Yasuke because he's African, yes absolutely. I would agree 100% if Yasuke was the only playable character, but he's not. There's a Japanese character as well that is a traditional assassin. People want to argue they'd prefer to play as a man who's Japanese, but that's not a critic it's a preference. I just don't understand why they have to voice their preference at the same time they voice they don't want to play as a black character.
Listen to these two and tell me if there's a difference: 1) "I want to drive a Ferrari" 2) "I don't want to drive a black dirty Ford, I want a Ferrari"

@Gunnerzaurus You can defend them, but the reality is their criticism boils down to Yasuke being black. There really isn't a valid critic.
Also, the Japanese government responded saying they don't care, it's a video game and it's fiction. The people who spread this misinformation are the same people you're choosing to defend —why would you spread more misinformation?

If it's anything like Monster Hunter where a new monster is introduced seasonally to hunt, sure. But other than that, I don't see what Horizon can do.

What happened to the "No one will buy this, it's not worth it"?? People on the Internet are funny af, voice your opinion and then act completely different on real 😡😡

"How optimistic are you feeling about Ubisoft these days?"

• Not very good. I was interested in Shadows after watching a bit of the gameplay, but in the past few weeks it has gone down significantly, due to how Star Wars Outlaws was released. That game is the peak standard of how NOT to release a game. If Ubisoft wants to adhere to that standard, they're more than welcome to, but I don't see myself buying a product that plays worse than Sonic '06.

Ever since Breath of the Wild released, Ubisoft has had this notion that they need to match it, but somehow they're taking notes from everything BotW does wrong, as opposed to what it does right, which is not a lot. TotK is a better standard by a large margin.

Either I'm seemingly losing interest in games, or gaming is just boring and unoriginal

I still don't understand why some people thought it would be removed. Half of the games featured in SL haven't released games in years and probably won't be in the next 10 years either.

My opinion is the same as yesterday, none. I cannot/ should not operate based on the idea of "X said it's good". When it's out, I'll decide. Concord is proof that making opinions beforehand is damaging, both positive and negative.

@jFug Not necessarily. It's a gamble of releasing an unoriginal bad game. Contrary to popular belief, if the game:

• was not live service,
• Only had white characters,
• every character looked like a Korn star

It would still fail, because ultimately it is a bad game. It just so happens the other variables were present.

It's probably really good, but I'm not playing. There's just not enough time.

Yes, it can! Here's my 4 Year roadmap of what the Devs should do.

• Apologise to the fan base for the actions of some developers, disavow the language used (especially the modern audience one), take accountability and promise to improve.
• Remove controversial themes and UI choices.
• Make the game Free-to-Play.
• Revamp the current design of the characters, make them worthy of R34.
• Pay artists to draw these characters in relatable and appealling settings, like Christmas, Halloween etc.
• Introduce more modes: Payload, CTF, Attack/ Defend, Rumble/ Royale (due to low players count, 20 will do)
• Partner up with animation studios to make a series about the characters and their background (Imagine Arcane, now aim higher).
• Release very intriguing story mode following the events of the animation series (very important).
• Introduce more characters and guest playstation characters (they have to change in order to fit the universe)
• Create world events that affect every player (idk a meteor crashed and destroyed a whole map).
• Whatever the above is, team up with Fortnite for a simultaneous event. Share skins with Fortnite and vice versa.
• Tease a multiverse. Introduce reverse, anti and villain characters.

In other words, hire me.
