Didn't care then, still don't care. I mean, I do care that Sony has this additional revenue stream to use to keep developing games. I do care that once they go to PC we might get the game tossed on PS+ Extra for a while. I do care that others get to play these games. I DON'T care that all the ExCluSivE gAmeS are no longer exclusive.

Still remember the comment section on PlayStation Blog when Sony announced the first one going to PC, it lit up like Sony just killed all the babies

@Ralizah

SMT/PERSONA Kart Racing would be fantastic! Screen shot your post as proof Atlus stole your idea when it gets announced in 18 months.

Here is a pole idea for Push Square

"Should we remove the 2022 and at least half of the 2023 posts in the comment section for New Games this Week"

1) Yes
2) Absolutely
3) For Sure Bud
4) Affirmative

@Pranwell

I'd ask if they are going to patch out the jank, but if they did there would be nothing left.

Ba Dum TSS

I did not play the original SMTV but SMT and Persona are my newest game obsessions and it seems like this game is going to hit me just right.

Remember last year when we thought Microsoft acquiring Activision was going to destroy the video game market...turns out we were right...lol...

@Victor_Meldrew

I would LOOOOOVVVEEE a remake of AC1

Genuine question, who still owns the IPs?

@NEStalgia

Ok good. I thought my sarcasm was being missed.

@NEStalgia @REALAIS

LOL, All I mean is that if we need to have a controversy to dissect in the comment section, PSN for Helldivers is WAAAAYYYY less interesting than censorship levelled at a Dressup doll game mechanic.

@Lup

What kind of games do people on Xbox want then? Generic shooters? Fortnite clones? Minecraft? Roblox? More Bluey? I mean whatever floats your boat. But seriously, what do Xbox owners want on their system that would make them happy?

@DennisReynolds

I was just over at Pure Xbox reading their article about the same rumour and this is the only topic of conversation surrounding this game. There is literally no fanfare for this game that is coming in less than 2 weeks, anywhere, as far as I can tell. If this was a PS5 exclusive releasing this month Push Square would have had an article a day about it. But Pure Xbox...nothing. Just the rumour it's coming to PS5

Can we go back to talking about the censorship in Stellar Blade now? This story doesn't have enough spicy pics.

@Vault_Mcfly

Touche! LOL!! I guess we all have our thing. Maybe we need to stop gatekeeping what people want to like and allow them to be fans of their special thing.

Calling something that another person likes mediocre, boring, repetitive, stupid, lame, generic, dumb, silly, crappy, or whatever is so, as the kids these days say, mid.

I have never played a Battlefield game but this Andrew Wilson guy sounds like the Hype Man for an ass-wiping contest.

@twitchtvpat
I wasn't addressing anyone one person in the comment section, but to use the term word "glut" more appropriately, we are going to see a glut of "Sony Just Died", "PS5 IS FAIL" and "SONY HATE THEIR FANS" style Youtube videos no matter what is announced...lol..

It's time for everyone to pull out their wish lists and then get mad when Sony doesn't address any of them. It seems it's our favourite internet pastime...lol...

@DogPark

The Assassin's Creed stuff is fairly similar to the other games in the series but the naval parts make up most of the accolades this game gets. Exploring the sea, ship-to-ship battles, assaulting fortresses, mythic creature hunts, ghost ships, etc. Its all very fun and very well done.

@Vault_Mcfly

I can't stand more Assassin's Creed games, people really love generic and mediocre franchises.

...says the person with the Fallout avatar pic...lol...

@NEStalgia

I agree, I would think that most people starts out in their career with rose-tinted glasses when it comes to making games. Then the reality of deadlines, margins and return on investment rear their ugly heads and we end up with Ubisoft, EA, Activision, Sega, Take-Two, Capcom, SquareEnix, Gearbox...etc etc etc.

Most video game companies have ALWAYS been in it for the money and your right the business ruins the fun for everyone.

@NEStalgia

That was kind of my point...lol. Everything the publishers do these days is to try to make more money from the players, but every attempt is blasted by one part of the fandom or the other.

Developers want to make good games, fans wish for good games, and I think for the most part Publishers want to provide good games. The problem is the stakeholder, the parent company and the Capitalist Pig.

@Steel76

Only when they are on the Xbox...lol...

@GamingFan4Lyf

Potatoe/Potatoe (hard to do with both pronunciations spelled the same...lol)

You say: Nintendo is Unique and quirky, and claim it is not their fault that people don't understand their direction

I say: Nintendo should stick with a proven thing and quit trying to reinvent the wheel because they think they are too big to fail.

Either way, if Nintendo messes up the Switch 2 by doing one of their "quirky" things its not going to be good for anybody.

@NEStalgia

Radical Change = $100 games, no physical games, GAAS, and gacha/lootbox mechanics.

I forgot - Day one DLC and selling new game + for a premium

@GamingFan4Lyf

I would hope. I would hate to lose Nintendo to more of their own hubris.

@trev666

Only if the Switch 2 is backward compatible with the Switch making the upgrade easy and it's not another "Nintendo doesn't give a f**k" follow-up to a success. (ie Wii to WiiU). If the Switch 2 is a dog and nobody wants to upgrade, we may as well give Nintendo a standing 8 count. I don't know how well they could weather another failed console launch.

PS4 games on the Switch 2 would do more for Nintendo at launch than for Sony

Besides Nintendo still hates Sony over the whole Nintendo Playstation CD ROM business partnership gone south.

@Zenos

maybe...lol...

My point was more about defending an artist's vision than the censorship anyway. If we defend the fan service as important to the artist's vision of Stellar Blade then we need to defend the realistic character models in other games as well. If we don't then it is just about looking at T&A and not about the "art".

@Zenos

...but they did run to Metacritic to drag down a score to diminish the vision of the artist. So in essence these people were trying to censor the aforementioned games. Or at least try to silence the creators voice

@Zenos

I don't know what "false equivalence" means but I can assume it's some sort of way to deflect what is being said to minimize what everyone knows is being said.

PS. I know what it means. In this case, it's not though. People trashed the games because of how the female main characters were being represented in the game with their physical looks and characterization.

To me, there is a fundamental difference between an artist or the publisher of an artist SELF-censoring their work, especially commercial art (which video games mostly are) or a government entity telling me what I can and cannot see.

If we want to complain about censorship let's start with what passes as an impartial newscast from any news provider, not these bits of cloth in a still very adult-looking game.

This crap is making gamers look like what everyone already thinks we are, misogynistic incels. I have been saying this since the beginning, but if we acted chill about this game's content nobody would have given a crap, but the community had to Harald this release as a "taking back games from wokeness" moment.

If everyone is so concerned about an artist's vision being taken away with censorship, you should be just as ready to defend the artist's vision for games like Forspoken, Horizon and The Last of Us.

This pole should be taken with a grain of salt. As interesting is it is to see the prevailing opinion of people on this website, we, as I have said before are not the entire gaming public. Most people who own consoles have no interest in who makes or publishes a game they see a game that their friends are playing and want it too. Fans of the individual consoles may pay attention to this stuff but the average Joe Consumer does not.

I rushed to the comments to say what everyone has already said, argued about and now is on cool down over. Maybe we need to petition LimitedRun.

@2here2there @TrickyDicky99

Nintendo saved the industry back in the 80's as well. You are right! Nintendo! Nintendo! Nintendo!

Ok, How long am I going to be playing this game for? Atlus games are like a full-time job for me right now.

We are due for another crash in the video game market. I wonder who will survive.

The teens in my life already play the other Jack in the Box games in a way that makes them way more adult than they are. It's like those that vote for the grossest but not the FUNNIEST Cards Against Humanity pair (ya I'm still bitter about it Janet)

@PrettyPawsome, you are not alone @Stevemalkpus is wrong.

@NEStalgia

I was writing something similar until I read this and decided to respond to yours. I have been saying similar things since the beginning. Even though I believe this game deserves to exist, a certain segment of the fandom has ruined my desire to own the game. I mean, I like a bit of fanservice, or at least I'm not offended by it, but the misogyny on display with this part of the fandom is beyond even the normal amount.

I also find myself curiously thrilled at the latest controversy surrounding 2 of the costumes being redesigned. I am not a fan of censorship, but watching these gamer bros go crazy is a wonderful catharsis.

@carlos82

That Star Wars Force Awakens reference on the sign though! 2015/16 before the franchise went sideways and we all still had New Hope for that galaxy far, far away. Halcyon Days!!

I have a feeling I may have been to dumb for Paradise Killer. I tried it on PS+ and did all sorts of investigating, talking, exploring, puzzling, and farting around but I figured NOTHING out...lol...very cool game though.

This though...This looks like a side game in Like a Dragon.

@wildcat_kickz

I know a guy who still plays GTA San Andreas every day after he gets off work. He says it's the only game he needs.
Sometimes a game hits like it's made just for you. You are who Bethesda updated this game for...have fun Vault Dweller!

I downloaded and played it on the weekend like a chump. Game is surprisingly nice looking at 60fps and the two-second load times are a revelation. But it's still a 10-year-old game; whatever it did 10 years ago is all it's doing now.

Instructions on how to get Fallout 4 PS5 version cheaply

Step One - Buy the game at launch 15 years ago.
Step Two - Purchase all the DLC
Step three - Wait 10 years and never sell/trade the game.
Step four - Insert Disc
Step Five - ***********
Step Six - Profit.

@UltimateOtaku91

If they release Senua's Saga: Hellblade II on PS5 with a physical release, I will believe it.

@Gremio108

This comment wins the comment section today!!

Shamefully I downloaded it last night without a hitch.

@NEStalgia

I wasn't trying to be derogatory in any way to either site. These sites have their fans and the crossover is real. I observed that Xbox, as hard as they try, has an uphill battle for attracting JRPG enthusiasts.

@Jaz007

I wasn't trying to point fingers or call anyone out. It's like any other fandom when the owner of an IP can sense the hunger for a continuous stream of content. I LOVE getting different and special editions with built-up content so I am absolutely part of the problem with so-called Developer Greed.

@NEStalgia @Mintie @Jaz007

From what I have seen with the SMT/Persona community as a newly minted member, fans of this series stand in line with fists full of cash saying "YASS DADDY" as Atlus edges us (can I say that here) with DLC and rereleases.

@NEStalgia the term you used, grooming, is probably the most accurate word for this...lol...

Just as an aside about this game.

When we have seen trailers for this game they have always been emblazoned with the Xbox logo and have not had any PlayStation branding. We do know, however, that it is not an Xbox exclusive. So I went over to PureXbox just to see what the buzz was over there about this game as it's being marketed by Microsoft (I guess). What did I find you ask, two articles with 16 total comments between the two of them? In contrast, this site has 10 articles with dozens of comments on each.

Don't know what to do with this info but I thought I would share.
