People pay Guinness a ton of money, they register the record and that's it. There's very little investigation on the veracity of the records and even known cheaters have records.
Tommy Talarico has Guinness world records, that's how accurate they are.
@themightyant I think you're missing the point. Remaking a great late PS3 game like the Last of Us for the PS5 felt wholly unnecessary. It already looked great and played well.
Remaking a flawed mediocre looking game with rushed development and a lot of wasted potential makes sense.
People are tired of remakes of new and great games, remaking a flawed game and fixing it is a great idea
You decided to write a professional article and use the word "hater". Really?
Can you be a bit more descriptive and explain that it's a mix of people that align themselves with different ideals and haven't played the game, so they're just giving low scores for that reason with people that played the original trilogy and are disappointed with the lackluster dialogue and lack of impact on the choices.
By saying hater, you're absolutely not helping with establishing any dialogue between opposing opinions. Just helping with the divide.
If you're going to write a professional article, be professional.
They're after the developers of Palworld because of patent they filed AFTER the game was released. That's incredibly scummy and it's just the big guy bullying the small one.
I'm sorry to be extreme, but Nintendo can go step on a Lego.
@nessisonett I will reply in order of importance to your comment.
1. That is horrible and someone being driven to the edge by hatred and lack of acceptance should never be tolerated in our society.
2. I think separation from the art and the artist is possible and there a lot of amazing work that has been done by horrible people
Hogwarts Legacy has been extremely inclusive and clearly not in line with Rowling's views.
3. Sometimes you tend to be extremely confrontational and very unwilling to hear any opinion that is contrary to yours, that's why a lot of people tease you in the comment section.
I disagree quite frequently with you and think you're a bit extreme but that doesn't mean you're a bad person. Maybe you could give other people the benefit of the doubt too.
The visuals are drab and the gameplay is weightless. I can't say for certain but if feels like increasing the scope and making the game open world gave less time for the developers to polish the game.
I won't be surprised if it's a disappointment when it releases.
@DennisReynolds That's a fair assessment too. But the developers know the console specs, it's partly on them to create a game that runs at least decently on one that's owned by over 60 million people.
@DonJorginho Ah, cool! Good to see a positive perspective from someone who's seem a few reviews. Writing was my worse fear because of ME: Andromeda and I'm still on the fence about this one.
@Flaming_Kaiser The right and the left wing are as closed minded as each other. The only reason you think the right wing is more close minded is because you have more affinity for the left wing. Both groups are closed in echo chambers of agreement and unwilling to hear the other side.
The religion rambling makes zero sense. Religion doesn't dictate tolerance, people dictate religion and therefore tolerance based on religion. Religion is created by humans and people are tolerant or not, the institution is just a reflection of who is part of it.
Hardcore gamers what? At this point you're making zero sense. Calm down and think a bit before typing. A lot of hardcore gamers love a female protagonist, Samus is a clear example of that. You're focusing on a loud small group that most people, including me, dislikes and don't associate with.
Where did I disagree with people fighting for their rights? I just pointed out that WB did show respect for trans people and questioned what more could be done by them.
You're clearly emotional and biased about the subject. It's very hard to hold a conversation because everything I say is treated as if I'm personally attacking you.
I have nothing against you as a person, I just see a lot of flaws and holes in your argument. You carry a lot of biases against certain groups and opinions, yet preaches freedom of speech, and at the same time show incredible frustration if the person disagrees with you.
It is also my freedom of speech to criticise people that say they won't buy a product because of someone who's not directly associated with it anymore.
They can criticise the game, and I can criticise them for what I think is hipocrisy on their part.
Funny to see people criticising the game for being transphobic when they've distanced themselves from the author and there's a trans character in the game.
@Skeletor85 I played it too. I don't hate it, I just find it boring, repetitive and like every other Ubisoft game. Also, considering how much variety the Star Wars franchise can give, the environments looked boring.
I think what killed this game is not hate, but indifference. People grew tired of the Ubisoft formula.
@EchoRange I didn't make two accounts buddy. I've been registered since 2020 and live in the UK. The other person has been registered since 2024 and is from the Netherlands. I have hundreds of comments and this other person has a lot too. You can see our writing style is completely different.
My account name is my real name. I've been made fun of at school for having that name, but being accused of being another person because of an image is on a different level.
I'm flattered you think I'm that creative.
But I guess birds aren't real and the earth is flat, right?
@yazzika Good joke, but unfortunately it's just a coincidence of fate. I didn't even notice when I posted my comment.
Maybe I should change my avatar though
It's an Assassin's Creed clone stripped down to it's most basic gameplay.
It looks bland, it has no edge. It's an outlaw game where you can barely commit crimes and be a real outlaw.
It's "Greedo shot first" turned into a game.
@thefourfoldroot1 If it's something that Sony won't allow, they'll step in.
Push Square is reporting on Sony related news, which is exactly what we're here for.
@Gamer83 Who's running this campaign against the game? Review websites gave the game great reviews, yt channels are praising it and twitch streamers were enjoying a lot playing the game. It has detractors, but it's a small minority and you're blowing it out of proportion.
Also the person above you made a legitimate question. China is a huge country and it would be interesting to know how many copies were sold there. It's an undeniable success, but to deny that it was partly successful because it was probably China's biggest game ever is just ignoring part of the story.
It's a mediocre game with no stand out features or unique gameplay. People love to say that the live service model is the problem but that's not it. Helldivers showed that live service can be done correctly. It's not a good game, that's the problem. It looks average, it plays slowly and the character design is abysmal.
It's the weakest in a series of great games. Disconnected areas, a lot of glitches, bad hit detection, weird movement, repetitive and uninspired bosses. But it also has amazing areas like Majula and it can look great depending where you are. It's the worst of the best.

Re: SEGA Heaps Praise on Atlus Following Strong Metaphor: ReFantazio Sales
I'm glad they tried something new.
I always felt the team was constrained by the mandatory student/classroom setting of the Persona series and this game shows it.
I think it has better plot than any Persona game and it drags way less than any of them.
Re: Veteran Trophy Hunter Hakoom Quits PlayStation Over Alleged Account Suspension Storm
@themightyant To clarify, when I say it has no value, I meant it has no value as a real record.
It can add value to the person who was "judged" by Guinness, highlighting even more that it is a payment to be promoted, and not a record in itself.
Re: Veteran Trophy Hunter Hakoom Quits PlayStation Over Alleged Account Suspension Storm
A Guinness world record has absolutely no value.
People pay Guinness a ton of money, they register the record and that's it. There's very little investigation on the veracity of the records and even known cheaters have records.
Tommy Talarico has Guinness world records, that's how accurate they are.
Re: Sonic X Shadow Generations Producer Wants to Remake the Worst Game in the Series for PS5
@themightyant That's a fair assessment too.
I think Sonic 06 had potential, and fan remakes show that.
But it's definitely better to let bygones be bygones and make a new and better game.

Re: Metacritic Responds to Ongoing Dragon Age: The Veilguard Review Bombing Campaign

Re: Fans Work Out Why Monster Hunter Wilds Feels So Weird and Weightless in PS5 Beta
@KoopaTheGamer True and I hope they fix it. But I think it's a bit too late in the development cycle to make the game look appealing.

Re: Monster Hunter Wilds' Beta Is Prompting Fans to Reconsider PS5 Pro
@DennisReynolds Sure. I won't pay for the developers incompetence.
Re: Monster Hunter Wilds' Beta Is Prompting Fans to Reconsider PS5 Pro
Your logic is terrible. Yes, let me spend £700 because of one poorly optimised game.
What a terrible excuse to justify you advertising the PS5 Pro.
It's not a case for the pro, it just shows how horrible Capcom is at optimising their games. Dragon's Dogma 2 was the same.
Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard (PS5) - The Best BioWare Game Since Mass Effect 3
@DonJorginho Thanks for the tip! I really like him too but I haven't seen his review yet

@DonJorginho Ah, cool! Good to see a positive perspective from someone who's seem a few reviews. Writing was my worse fear because of ME: Andromeda and I'm still on the fence about this one.
Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard (PS5) - The Best BioWare Game Since Mass Effect 3
@DonJorginho Ah, that's more than fair.
Have you seen skill up's review of it? It was much more critical. Not saying they're correct, just a different point of view.
Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard (PS5) - The Best BioWare Game Since Mass Effect 3
@DonJorginho One person gave the game an 8 and that automatically makes it good?
That's as shallow as the people who criticized the purple haired characters.

Re: Metaphor: ReFantazio Immediately Tops 1 Million Sales at Launch
The Industry should pay attention to the importance of demos.
The trailer didn't convince me at all as it wasn't clear what the game was about.
Playing the demo helped it so much and I knew it was going to be a solid game.
It also helps being an RPG where the plot takes off quite quickly, contrary from the norm.
