I think this is all poorly written. I don’t care that the female character is a lead. I don’t think most people calling it woke do either, but it would be dishonest to say that today’s environment hasn’t made an impact on the creativity making the game. They won’t tell the same jokes in old games. Some people call that woke and I think it’s justified. I wouldn’t call them a bigot. It’s overly simple to say “they say it’s woke because of a female lead”. No one made a fuss in Metroid, in fact it was cool. Anyways I hope everyone is able to enjoy the game and that it surpasses everyone’s expectations. Cheers.
@MacRider you’ve got to be one of the few gamers left on earth who didn’t get around to playing this and it’s million ports. Congrats my friend. Hope you do enjoy it when you do play it.
It’s the first episode so I won’t get too excited, however they did a great job. I love all the casting except for Ellie, I don’t think she’s bad, but I’m still adjusting to her look versus the video game Ellie. Anyways happy everyone is enjoying the show. I hope they can keep it up.
Color me skeptical. As a gamer since the genesis and Super Nintendo days, gameplay is most important to me. Don’t get me wrong, I do enjoy a great story and have loved naughty dog since the days of crash bandicoot, but this might be a tilt towards something against my preference.
A Merry Christmas message!?!?!? You’re officially better than IGN. Merry Christmas to everyone and I hope we can all have a great day with family. You’ve gained a new subscriber in me.
@bpomber to play devils advocate…if it wasn’t a cash grab they’d add these features to the older versions of the game via update so people don’t have to buy the newest one for accessibility.
Issues around Harry Potter? What could possibly be wrong with the Harry Potter universe. Great books and movie series. Anyways this game looks promising but I always wait to buy a game these days.
@GreatAuk good man. Don’t mind all the responses. Smart thinking is smart thinking. I’ve bet you’ve made it far in life being grateful for things rather than blaming a system for an outcome.
@themightyant that’s kind of my thoughts. I don’t have any numbers in front of me but how many gamepass/ game sales do you have to make to recoup 70 billion.

Re: PS5, PS4's Most Played Games Probably Won't Surprise You
So does this list even count single player games? Can it track logins for that type of thing or only multiplayer? That might skew the numbers a bit.
