Re: Poll: Was This Sony's Best PlayStation Showcase Yet?

A lot of trailers for new games with very little or no gameplay whatsoever. Accessory announcements with no details.
Detailed trailers only for games that had been previously announced without adding much to what was already known.
It was a LOT of flash with very little substance.

Re: Xbox Boss Admits Microsoft Can't 'Outconsole' PS5

@LiamCroft Nice one dismissing anyone's argument by calling them fanboys. Ad hominem much?

If the Xbox Series X had a bunch of amazing exclusives I would buy it without thinking twice. I might be a PS owner since the second one, but I used to be a Nintendo console owner exclusively. By having strong games you may introduce people to a different console and while they definitely will not sell their PS5's little by little you gain an audience and "convert" then to your console.
It might not be the only strategy, but just saying that the Xbox can't do anything about the PS5 is untrue and it does nothing in favor of Microsoft.

Great games aren't everything? That's literally the reason Sony and Nintendo repeatedly beat Microsoft in the console market. Microsoft is clearly bigger than both combined, but Sony and Nintendo always have the upper hand when it comes to consoles. It's no accident that the Xbox 360 is the most successful of the Microsoft consoles because of its exclusives. Hell, the reason I bought an Xbox 360 was because of Mass Effect which was an exclusive at the time.
Bethesda keep buying studios but they barely release a quality game ever. They need change in leadership ASAP.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Dev Acknowledges Linear Story Criticism, Says It's 'Justified'

Pat_trick

He admitted it was linear yet justified every linearity saying that it wasn't actually as linear as people thought. He is trying to pander to the critics of the game without actually admitting the game's flaws which extremely disingenuous and condescending.

95% of your choices lead to the same result and except for the ending a great majority of them don't matter at all and barely change your experience.

Re: Dead Space PS5 Launch Trailer Marks the Return of Isaac Clarke

@KundaliniRising333 I was agreeing with your opinion until you lumped Silent Hill with Dead Space.
While its gameplay is not the most revolutionary, the story and symbolism especially in the second game reach depths that other games wish they could. Silent Hill games were always more about the story than the gameplay and whereas I don't think they're perfect by any means, they do belong in video game history for their creativity with their narrative.

Re: Game of the Year: Push Square Readers' Top 10 PS5, PS4 Games of 2022

Even though Elden Ring is easily my favorite game of the year it does make sense on this website for God of War and Horizon to be ahead. People here are Playstation fans and like their first party titles, that's why they have the console.
It had nothing to do with being a fanboy and more to do with the tastes aligning with what the console has to offer.
