@DennisReynolds you won't get anywhere with that argument, right wing chuds don't understand tlou2s sex scene as it doesn't include a hot model and it exists as part of a developed story, rather than something a horny teenager can beat off to in between gameplay sessions
I really have no interest in anything Jaffe has to say.
I can tell why people like watching him: he basically has the same point of views of your classic angry 14 year old boy and people like to hear what they think said back to them.
I'm personally glad we've escaped the milase of the white bald space marine period of gaming that he represents. And hey, if he doesn't like that, go make another game. I'm sure a sequel to Drawn to Death will be beloved by all...
@Porco it's been sold out since launch, I think, at this moment in time, you can at least consider the launch a success. Might be a different picture in August but for now, yes, it is a success
@Nem Yeah its a shame. I wouldnt even mind if it was just a PS4 version but its locked to PS3 and I dont want to stream it on NOW, its a bad experience imo.
I think its a fantastic game, but I have absolutely no interest in playing this on "mega hard mode". I just dont think the gameplay suits it, for me it was more of a story game.
I liked the combat in the Saga sections but the Alan sections I found it pretty dull and just wanted to get to the next story beat.

I wonder if their hands were forced. Leaks (that were obviously real footage based on this trailer) were appearing since May, I suspect they began work on an early reveal plan then. 2 years is a long time...
@ear_wig @Reveluv @ErrantRob Nice to see so much Lies of P love, I was thinking "I must be crazy" because its my top game too, but nice to see is resonated with plenty of people.
Happy to see some Aliens: Dark Descent love too, I'm super curious about it will definitely have to pick it up with all the love I see here.
I downloaded the Witcher 3 GOTY edition on PS4, and then upgraded to the PS5 version when they announced a next gen version.
You cant import your save from the base version into this version so I had to start again. I dont have time to replay a 100 hour game again, and I dont need a second trophy set for the same game. One SKU is the way.
I was surprised by the reviews so went to pick one up and found this.
Thing is, scalpers will never succeed with this product I feel. I just don't really need it honestly. The lack of stock doesn't push me to a scalper, it just makes me shrug and go about my day.
10 bucks is a good price for me to play the new mode and happy to have it on my collection when I eventually do a full replay of the series after the show finishes.
@BobaTheFett you have to actually make some games to sell eventually though! You can only get those game pass cheques for old games you suck up a few times.
@BobaTheFett I think they started prior but made the name change when they started getting really aggressive to distinguish themselves from THQ (known as a publisher) so Embracer would be known as a holding company.
Honestly I'm just reading their wiki page back and it's long and confusing, about 4 different companies, 3 renames and a few spin off companies.
@thefourfoldroot1 on politics, I'd actually argue a lot of these games are pure capitalist exploitation! Minimal effort games with TnA in place of any artistic merit, existing purely to extract money from your wallet!
I'm not really arguing for censorship here, more for elevating the games medium
@RR529 I love Bayonetta also but i think it's a different kettle of fish to some of the other games you've mentioned. There's definitely more to it then the little girl water gun game.
Last of Us P2 has a pretty gratuitous sex scene id hate to see censored. It's not the lewdness, it's how it's done and the reason why
@BobaTheFett I'm sure most dev's would go with a better company if they had the option.
However i think the decision is simply, take their money and try and make another game, or go it alone already knowing we're not in a great place financially. I think its the safer option.
Please not I'm not saying Embracer is good. I think they're a mismanaged dumpster fire who have absolutely no idea what they're doing.
@thefourfoldroot1 I can't really ask this without sounding lewd but...instead of looking for games with pointless titalation, cant you just go and look at Corn online? There's so much of it.
None of these games are good apart from this titalation.

Re: PS Plus Indie Hit Sea of Stars Surpasses 4 Million Players
Fantastic game well deserved and a perfect use of these subscription services in my eyes.
Wouldn't have picked it up otherwise, and it was a great time.

Re: 19 Amazing Games Join PS Plus Extra, Premium Next Week
I think there's some good games here.
Honestly, some folks here forget that this is a niche hobbyist website.
It is a massive get to have GTA V for free, the month that a bunch of casual players will receive their (potentially first) PlayStation console.
That's an instant subscription in sonys pocket for every single hardware purchase I imagine, one that might be renewed every year in perpetuity
Re: Preview: Tekken 8 Could Be One of the Best Tekken Games Ever
It would need Team Battle to be considered the best Tekken game ever.
As of now, it has not been announced, and therefore will always be considered inferior to Tekken entries that have it
Re: E3 Is Officially Dead
A real shame.
I do not think JeffFest fills the void. I think Keoghleys events epitomize all the worst elements of E3.
Re: Alan Wake 2 Pencils In New Ending, Nightmare Difficulty for Monday's New Game Plus Update
@ErrantRob I'm with ya. Just finished Lies of P on NG+ and I'm about to start Lords of the Fallen actually.
I just don't think some games are suited to it!

Re: The Mermaid's Tongue Is the Next Murder Mystery from the Makers of Tangle Tower
Awesome news, Tangle Tower was really really good!
I can't believe the devs are the Super Flash Bros, I used to love their old videos on newgrounds!

Re: Sony's Probably Not Done Partnering with Korean Devs
@CKFilms imagine if they let them create a Bloodborne 2 and a lies of p 2. Would be incredible
Re: Silence! Apollo Justice's Legal Journey Begins Anew in Ace Attorney Trilogy Promo 2
All the bad things going on in the world but this makes everything feel like we're healing.
Now we just need a sequel announced and world peace will be declared by 2026
Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 Still Looks Fantastic on PS5, March 2024 Release Date Confirmed
@Ellmagron every cutscene and animation in cyberpunk is designed with the first person perspective in mind.
I wouldn't ask the same for Witcher, FF or Zelda.
This game seems explicitly designed around coop play that they forgot to add.
A similar example would be lies of ps spectre's
Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 Still Looks Fantastic on PS5, March 2024 Release Date Confirmed
I do not understand why they refuse to add coop play to this like Dark Souls
>But I liked the last one and it didn't!
So what? You can still play with pawns alone, I just want the choice to play with my friends!
Re: Rockstar Believe In The Playstation 3, Exclusivity Will Help Their New IP Agent
Turns out they were right, it was GOTY the year it released.
Truly iconic

Re: Baldur's Gate 3 Is a Lock for Game of the Year, According to Most PlayStation Fans
Most of my vote splits between BG3 and Alan Wake.
I think Spiderman is really great but just cant keep up with the others.
I feel really bad for Lies of P, in a normal year I think it had a real chance to pick up some gongs but the competiton is just too fierce for it
Re: God of War Studio Recruits Former Gears of War Narrative Director
@Triumph741 when say it was low I meant because the competition for game story wasn't particularly strong, not because of the tech at the time.
Whereas I'd say now, stories like God of Wars rival those of some movies and TV shows.
Re: God of War Studio Recruits Former Gears of War Narrative Director
@Th3solution can only speak for the original trilogy but they were strong for the time (2006-2011) although it was a pretty low bar back then
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Enjoys Huge Launch in Europe, Easily Topping the First Game and Miles Morales

Re: Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition Won't Have Its Own Separate Trophy List on PS5
This is honestly a good move.
I downloaded the Witcher 3 GOTY edition on PS4, and then upgraded to the PS5 version when they announced a next gen version.
You cant import your save from the base version into this version so I had to start again. I dont have time to replay a 100 hour game again, and I dont need a second trophy set for the same game. One SKU is the way.
Re: PlayStation's Mobile Games Studio Rebrands Following Multiple Departures
I always assumed this studio made Journey to the Savage Planet and apparently they didn't, so probably a smart re-brand on their part here.

Re: One of PSVR2's Biggest Developers, nDreams, Has Been Bought Up for $110 Million
Hope this is good for them because I've been playing Synapse and it is probably one of the best PSVR2 titles I've played.
Would love to see a sequel
Re: PS Portal Sells Out In Just a Couple of Days
I was surprised by the reviews so went to pick one up and found this.

Re: The Last of Us 2 PS5 Remaster Announced, Has a Brand New Survival Mode, $10 Upgrade Path
10 bucks is a good price for me to play the new mode and happy to have it on my collection when I eventually do a full replay of the series after the show finishes.
Happy with this
Re: Single Player Wonder Woman Game May Still Have Live-Service Elements
It'll probably just be tacked on additional missions and skins to unlock post-game, or some sort of infinite mode like Shadow of War has.
Not a problem as far as I can see.
Re: 14 PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Coming Next Week

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name?

Re: PS5 Earbuds, Elite Wireless Headset Available for Pre-Order Now
@JB_Whiting yup, i got the foam issue too. Just one side so far but im sure the other will deteriorate soon.
Still works so its ugly and I dont need to upgrade, but if there is a good option maybe I'll bite!
Re: Sony Delays Six Live Service PS5 Games, But Company Remains Committed to Model
@Rob3008 the unfortunate truth is that this is a short-term strategy.
these games eventually plateau and end up on PSPlus. Live action stuff goes forever.
I'm with you, I want more Single player games but its just the business truth
Re: PS5 Earbuds, Elite Wireless Headset Available for Pre-Order Now
Is the Playstation Link the same USB with the current Pulse model?
I need reviews before committing to these or the Portal. I just dont trust the quality isnt going to be better than what I already got.
Re: Embracer COO Announces Departure Following 'Rough' Year for Company
@BobaTheFett you have to actually make some games to sell eventually though! You can only get those game pass cheques for old games you suck up a few times.
Re: Embracer COO Announces Departure Following 'Rough' Year for Company
@BobaTheFett I think they started prior but made the name change when they started getting really aggressive to distinguish themselves from THQ (known as a publisher) so Embracer would be known as a holding company.
Honestly I'm just reading their wiki page back and it's long and confusing, about 4 different companies, 3 renames and a few spin off companies.
Definitely a bit of a mess!
