That's a bummer if it's true. I was wanting to play a few of these. Guess I'll just add it to the pile of games that I'll potentially buy on Xbox, if Elder Scrolls is indeed exclusive and I'm forced to buy one.
@Old-Red The majority of these people are just horrible. But even if a few of them do in fact have some sort of disorder, it's not an excuse for this sort of behavior.
@Arnna The fact that most of them are a good deal older than like, 12, which is about the age where such a response wouldn't be super unusual, is what's really sad. But like you said, at least they're the minority. Although the massive review-bombing that TLOU part II received by people who didn't even play the game makes me think that it isn't as small of a minority as I'd like.
@TheArt There's a whole sub-Reddit dedicated to hating on TLOU Part II. It's truly pathetic. It's an incredible game, but even if it wasn't, the response to it has been a complete travesty, and a stain on gaming as a whole.
This is just as ridiculous as the abuse hurled towards the people involved with the production of The Last of Us: Part II. These are FICTIONAL characters that other people created, and they have the right to do whatever they want with them.
It's fine to criticize choices in game design, but ultimately, the people making these games are doing way more with their lives than these miserable toddlers ever will.
I'd say basically everyone who played this on PS4 is safe to skip the remaster, unless you're super into vaguely better looking versions of 2 year old games. The better framerate is a plus, though, but not 70 USD worthy whatsoever.
I never liked the original Peter, personally. I don't like the poofy hair look, and he looks like he's perpetually constipated or something. Just a weird mannequin look to his face.
@NEStalgia It's truly been a PR nightmare so far. Unless they shift course, it's gonna be pretty much purely the good will they've amassed over the PS4 generation that will carry them forward in any capacity. I mean, that's basically the only reason I'm trying to buy a PS5.
@InsertUsername There's no excuse for it when Xbox is providing such things for free. But, if you enjoy paying top dollar for things other people are getting for free, be my guest, I suppose. It takes an impressive level of fanboyism to do that, though.
Sony making remasters of current-gen (soon to be last-gen, I suppose) games and selling them to people a second time is beyond ridiculous. Give us new games, and quit remastering stuff that's borderline modern, if not entirely modern, if you're going to charge us for them.
People in these comments, and across the internet, who complain all the time about people who complain about video game-related things are more annoying and grating than the very people they're complaining about.
Yes, we should also be positive about things, and we shouldn't complain about everything. But this is a hobby that millions of people care deeply about, and it's within an industry full of cutthroat companies that will do things like fill their games with slot machines to drain people of as much money as possible.
We have a right to complain and criticize them for anti-consumer practices, and it's important that we call them out. Otherwise, these companies will walk all over us, and our hobby as we know it won't stay the same. If you think and trust that Sony will always do things with your best interests at heart and nothing else without us doing whatever we can to keep them in check, you're wrong.
It's not unreasonable to want to know what you're paying for, and it's not unreasonable to use your voice when a company is screwing consumers over in some way.
If it turns out that Elder Scrolls and the like is exclusive to Xbox, then I may shell out the money for one a few years down the line. Until then, there's more I wanna play on Playstation.
People are still butthurt about Abby being muscular? Sure, it's not a realistic physique for 99.999% of women without steroids, but the same can be said for any number of male video game protagonists.
Some people in these comments take life way too seriously. I can see why people say that comedy is dying. Everything has to be perfectly and 100% PC, even with things that are clearly just jokes and nothing more.
I, personally, would just wait for a sale for most games. Games that I absolutely couldn't stand to have spoiled, like God of War 2 or a potential TLOU Part III, I would consider paying full price for.
But ultimately, a lot of games go on sale after like 3 months. There would be no sense in not waiting for sales anymore.
People in these comments have an absurd amount of loyalty to a multi-billion dollar corporation that ultimately just wants your money and nothing else.
You can be a PlayStation fan and still criticize Sony, guys. You don't have to excuse their every blunder and/or moment of greed.
This is completely ridiculous, not to mention the fact that the game is only two years old, anyway. Remaster stuff that actually NEEDS remastering, not games that borderline just came out.
For me, it really just depends on who they buy out next. I wouldn't buy an Xbox for Bethesda games alone. But if they buy out several more studios who make games I enjoy, and make them exclusive? Might be a different story.
Ultimately though, I'm still leaning towards PS5, because I need my God of War and Naughty Dog franchises and the like.
Looks solid. However, I think some people are looking at it through rose-tinted glasses, since what we've seen is hardly mind-blowing outside of the dense environments which are impressive IMO, and others who are super disappointed seem to have forgotten that this is just a video game and not some transcendent experience that will redefine video games as we know them.
@Octane My personal reasoning behind it is that nudity can cause far worse problems for a person than shooting someone in a video game ever could. Most people don't tend to get addicted to the act of violence and whatnot, unlike nudity, unless they have some sort of weird issue that they should probably look into getting help for.
People can look at nudity if they want, since we all have to make our own choices, but my point is that it has consequences, unlike looking at someone getting shot in a game. Most people don't even realize that they're addicted to it until they try to stop and realize that it's very difficult to.
Not that what's being portrayed in Cyberpunk is full-blown pornography, although none of us have seen much of the game, so who knows. I just know that for people who have had problems with such things, it's better to avoid it as much as possible.

Twenty-three year old dudes generally still look like babies. With that in mind, I like the new one.

Sony's gotta turn the bad news boat around soon. Xbox is looking more attractive to the average gamer by the day at this rate.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Gets a Full 48 Minute Gameplay Demo
@Octane My personal reasoning behind it is that nudity can cause far worse problems for a person than shooting someone in a video game ever could. Most people don't tend to get addicted to the act of violence and whatnot, unlike nudity, unless they have some sort of weird issue that they should probably look into getting help for.
People can look at nudity if they want, since we all have to make our own choices, but my point is that it has consequences, unlike looking at someone getting shot in a game. Most people don't even realize that they're addicted to it until they try to stop and realize that it's very difficult to.
Not that what's being portrayed in Cyberpunk is full-blown pornography, although none of us have seen much of the game, so who knows. I just know that for people who have had problems with such things, it's better to avoid it as much as possible.
