@Olmaz Well I will go that far, the story is rubbish, sure it looks pretty with great animation and voice acting, but the story is rubbish. But where as for you it’s all political, for me it’s the fact they deliberately used controversy to warrant the games existence, not the subject matter apart from killing Joel.. They seem incapable of writing a proper sequel that would have made sense, Ellie was known as gay years ago and Abby hasn’t been portrayed as a transgender once, just big but in their world it makes sense, it also lacked any of that connection you had between the characters of the first game. But when it comes to Uncharted 4 I just overall didn’t enjoy it as much as the others, it lacked the wow factor the rest of them had.

@nessisonett So your accusing Microsoft of employing bad practices? And yes I’m interested in what ex Naughty Dog talent will be creating, why? These are the people that made Uncharted 2 and 3 and TLOU 1 after all.

@Olmaz Yes he will be bribing his views more into his story’s and the studios games, they hadn’t done so before TLOU2, but we shall see what happens. I think their time as an elite studio has passed now though.

@Oscarjpc Yeap pretty much, it was nice knowing it although for me it died with part 4.

@Juanalf If you can’t see the problem with it then you’ll never understand.

@TheIdleCritic You should go and Google how Naughty Dog have been accused of treating their employees. And opinions vary... I won’t support them again and am interested to see what it’s ex employees make in Microsoft’s new studio.

Oh dear, well considering Uncharted 4 was a bit crap and TLOU2 was the worst story of any game I’ve ever played out of the hundreds if not more I have played, then this will be pretty bad for the games I liked. He and his other Co President to be facing charges for their treatment if there staff IMO.

@Angeljuice Calling someone nobody does not make your personal opinion a fact. You still fail to provide any proof to back your claims up. I’ve given up asking you now to be honest, you can believe what ever you want but don’t go around portraying your own opinion as fact, without proof, in the real world you won’t be respected for it and be considered to be arrogant.

@Angeljuice No, you haven’t provided a shred of proof to back your opinions up, and until you do that’s all they will be. And instead of providing that proof you just attack someone questioning you, like a cornered animal. Typical really. Many actual experts have said the XSX more powerful CPU is the reason it loads some games faster, nothing to do with software at all. But you keep saying it with no proof, don’t go accusing people of trolling just because your incapable of backing your opinions up you claim to be ‘fact’. Your the troll in that case, your the one stating your opinion is fact with no proof.

@Angeljuice Ok, so first off that’s one straw man baseless argument, telling someone they are doing a good job of something in English is the same thing as accusing them of it, please take some English lessons they will help you. And secondly so you are basing your ‘opinion’ on last gen machines with hard disk drives which in itself is a massively flawed opinion. It fails to take into account the new file structures of the SSD and subsystems behind them and how they operate. I think I’ll leave you to believe what ever you want, it’s obvious your not open to any other ideology apart from your own self created opinion which as I said is baseless.

@Angeljuice looolll a professional troll hahaha... that’s a typical fanboy response, I don’t agree with your opinion and push you to provide proof, ergo I must be a troll. Facts are facts and the XSX is faster then the PS5 in some circumstances, I am asking you to provide proof it’s down to software which you haven’t done so.
Others correctly state one is faster then the other in different circumstances, you are however claiming to know why this is without providing any proof.

@Angeljuice Ao it’s guess work on your part and personal opinion. Ok, that’s a lot of games gaining from some software then, which no one else has claimed by the way. And as I said those PS5 are maximum and not sustained throughout speeds.

@Falkirk4life Are you feeling alright? You seem triggered for some unknown reason? Perhaps it’s the confusion of Sony increasing game prices to £69 and then reducing others?

@Angeljuice Firstly the PS5 advertised SSD speeds are theoretical maximum not sustained. And secondly are you a games developer or a console architect designer? No? Then how can you claim the XSX speeds are purely down to software?

@solocapers Very true yes I doubt it’s Sony doing anything generous.. considering they’ve raised game prices.

What is going on here? Sony reducing the price! A bonus for those buying it digitally.

@Max2574 How am I trolling? I’ve literally replied to you and one other person, so how am I trolling you exactly? Look at your first reply... full of toxic insults. Accusations, lacking me a troll. It’s purely your own personal opinion, not a fact. Perhaps you should change your attitude in your first replies if you want proper engagement in conversation.

@God_of_Nowt So instead of actually providing any proof to backup ‘your’ claims, you have elected to throw insults. Why should anyone engage with you in anything? Who do you work for? What games if any have you worked on? You need to provide credentials to warrant your professional opinion to mean anything, other then developers don’t give a ‘sh11t’ about using extra power.
Your immaturity highlights your not a developer at all, if you were your attitude would be very different, your a junior at best, or flat out lying.

@Fenbops lol it didn’t take long for your point to be proven multiple times..

@Max2574 Ah did I call you out? I think I did.. please don’t come on here proclaiming your a developer and that developers don’t care about console power, I guess they don’t care about PC power either? What you said was totally incorrect and against what developer houses actually do.

@Max2574 Oh dear.. I see the hypocrisy has flown right over your head, you see I am being sensible and have stated facts, your just making things up trying to belittle someone who isn’t praising the PS5 from the rooftops, neither am I stating it’s rubbish, but you don’t see that, you read a comment and instantly go in the attack thinking the enemy is here, like the pubescent fanboy you obviously are..

@God_of_Nowt Firstly a salty fanboy, erm no grow up!
And secondly, if your such a wonderful developer perhaps you should go and tell Ubisoft and Microsoft they are doing it wrong, because they seem to differ in their opinions to you, also using your logic why didn’t PS4 games look like God Of War day one? It’s not some mythical box after all according to your logic?
I think you’ve rather oversimplified it in your own situation and ignored other factors. Ubisoft have already patches Valhalla on the XSX so it doesn’t screen tearing and have FPS drops, so they must be getting better with the system.
But I can tell by your attitude your not a very professional developer, probably a junior working on low end stuff, most grown ups use better language then you. They don’t need to use swear words designed to bypass filters to get their points across....

@Flaming_Kaiser I agree, it was a stupid marketing gimmick, probably why they changed to now to the most powerful Xbox. And I also agree with you on the fan base, but it is a fact it’s a more powerful console. It is very early days and we shall have to see how that power is used.
But for fair balance it is Sony and it’s fans who floated about the PS5’s SSD speeds, yet the XSX has easily beaten it with some game loads on its SSD, so I’d say both sides have been equally in talking up the machines incorrectly in some aspects.
We need some proper next gen games, not cross gen, but that won’t happen on either machine for a couple of years it seems. So we will have to instead hope third party games come out on next gen only sooner and have the same back and forth performance comparisons.

@Max2574 Sorry but no proof their is any bug, we shall see if any bug gets patched, the PS5 can’t do ray tracing and 60FPS very well because of how it’s been designed. In fact that’s why it does 120fps better, for now, and even then it was barely any better with DF themselves stating the Series X only drops in a couple of scenes, looks like your just talking salty fanboy nonsense..

@Fenbops That’s very very very true, just look at the comments here... I don’t think Sony fans should be so smug considering the complete buggy mess the PS5 seems to be in....

@Max2574 Funny then how you fail to acknowledge the fact the Series X runs COD at a flawless 60FPS with ray tracing then, eh?.... Whilst the PS5 cannot and Sony has got the marketing rights to that game too.

@lacerz As I said I’ll go by actual experts and Digital Foundry, not wannabe journalists that know nothing.. your very salty it seems.

@Arugula I agree I wouldn’t want this, sorry but automatically recording you should be an opt in... not opt out! No matter why it’s doing it. I think Sony may find themselves in hot water down the road with this ability to record party chats whenever you want.

@Esuazo10 Totally 100% agree, loved everything about the game bar the story which was crap, and purposely made to be divisive, and it lacked the link between the two characters you had in the first game, and replaced it with hate instead. The ending was just a lazily written joke that was a cheap way to get shocks and destroyed the story even more. TLOU never needed a sequel and everyone knew it, the story was written for one to exist and surveys nothing to promote it beyond that. IMO. If I paid £69 for it I’d be a tad upset for sure.

@lacerz I’ll go by the Digital Foundry video thanks where I can see for myself the Series X performing better.

Capitalism at work. Love it or hate it they are just doing what every business does, supply and demand.

@lacerz Apart from COD where the PS5 can’t handle 60FPS and ray tracing you mean, unlike the Series X running at a locked 60. Stick to the facts eh.

@AJDarkstar lol ok whatever. Think what ever you want if it helps you sleep better at night.

@Robinsad Yeah it is, and now Sony are going to copy it.

@AJDarkstar Does it offer first party AAA games say and date? And when it launched wasn’t it purely based on streaming and you couldn’t download any games?

Lots and lots of PS5 issues I see... early adopters / beta testers..

Sorry don’t agree with this, partly as it most definitely was NOT invented in 2020!!!.... and it isn’t worthy of being on the list even if it was. Neither is the Xbox. Game Pass is though as that is something new and a bit revolutionary to gaming IMO.

@Toypop Yeap, the Series X Valhalla being the perfect example, if you use VRR the screen tearing in the game almost disappears.. apparently Ubisoft will patch it for everyone else, but the worry is devs won’t spend the time and resources of their games and instead rely on VRR to fix their issues. So a tiny percentage of people will get smooth gameplay thanks to lazy devs looking to maximise profit. We will see how it turns out... so far the PS5 is doing alright without VRR, I hope it’s introduction doesn’t change that.

@RayNick Yes they have a lot of new faces now, I like Jack Trenton or is it Treton? He was cool and down to earth. And Kaz Riidge Racer. Lol. To me Phil Spencer is much more likeable then Ryan is.

As for the game prices they are too high, for instance people buy COD at launch but play it all year long and get its value, they buy a Sony single player exclusive for more and play it once and that’s it. As for any reference to a cinema, cinemas do not make any money on ticket sales, up to 90% of the sales go directly to the film distributors and studios. Cinemas literally only exist cause of their food sales hence the high prices. But now many have closed for good. It’s not really the same as Sony take a nice cut from every games sale..

@HotGoomba___Rebrand I’m not getting mad you clown lol... I think it’s a stupid marketing campaign, but hey if it works for them then why not? You seem to be over sensitive to people not liking the brand? Do you work for them? I understand perfectly well, according to you, Dbrands marketing is based around then insulting their customers and showing them contempt, as you think, a joke. It’s not rocket science so less if the assumptions from you eh.

@graysoncharles What do politics have to do with anything? And you could do with seeking some manners and cut the insults out.

@HotGoomba___Rebrand Haha so you enjoy a company insulting you, and you buy their products because if it? Obviously some people have never had any manners?

What an arrogant bunch of ‘*****’ Dbrand are! they will have lost customers with those words. One way to run your business treating your customers with utter contempt and insult them publicly.

@0851D14N Not 100% but I think TLOU2 has some? I’d have to double check, not many it’s mostly the third parties, especially EA, who will want their cash. I guess we need to wait and see if all games are increased to 69 or if it’s just first party ones?

@NeuralDeclan Oh absolutely the impressions of the dual sense are great, the only concern is how much developers will use it.

@NeuralDeclan Simple really, different design focuses. For Microsoft the focus was on the machine itself, so they spent time splitting the mother board and building a fast powerful system and heavily thought about the cooling. They didn’t spend money on a new controller or operating system.
Sony spent money in a new console but went for a cheaper simpler console design with one board and copies what they’ve done before. They spent the rest of their money and time on a new controller and operating system. Also that’s why the PS5 BC isn’t as good as the XSX.

It’s utterly arrogant of them to even think of this, sorry but when your competition is offering stunning value with Game Pass, you can’t come along and request to charge 80 quid or more for a game that’s not doubt stuffed full of in app purchases. And considering those in app purchases are netting billions for game devs annually then they can do one frankly! Pure unadulterated greed.
Get rid of ALL in app purchases, then we can talk about the games price!
Sonys ridiculous games prices are one of the reasons I’m considering a Series X over a PS5, so to think they wanted to price them higher is disgraceful.

I don’t bother playing my PS4 Pro at night anymore, it’s too loud and it even vibrates the room below it!

Those extra XP and load out slots are really unfair! As you’ll be able to use them in cross platform games. That’s not right, those all should be limited to PS vs PS online games ONLY.

By the time they get that cheque book out, everyone who is decent will have already been bought... Microsoft and others seem to be very keen to buy the best talent and biggest IP’s up and fast.
