@ThatOneSneak I do understand why Microsoft wants to purchase another company. It’s a buy and build strategy and it’s normal for companies with a SaaS mode (software as a service). I think MS wants to diversify their portfolio because it’s western developers.
I hope this goes through in order to see the meltdown of Xbox fans (mainly the usual suspects on Purexbox who become financial experts when it comes to Sony) who gave millions of reasons why the AB acquisition of Microsoft was good for the industry.
@MeanBeanEgg This! The usual suspects on purexbox will now say that Sony does not have sufficient funds or that exclusives don’t sell as reason for Sony not buying this company, whilst celebrating when Microsoft does an acquisition.
Smart move Sony, Lets borrow Guerillas engine for a game that releases on Xbox. I never bought the game as the gameplay just seem boring to me (so maybe it’s also part my fault haha).
I voted Astrobot were possible 😊 especially sound design is out of this world!!! Levels like retro rampage illustrate this so much (like punching LEGO)
The first game was fantastic. Forbidden west was pretty but the story was just bland. It does not also help that Aloy is always a very grumpy character (resulting in me disliking the character). After the second game I was done with Horizon as a franchise (also going from one AI as world ending event to another AI going rogue… )
jin’s story was over after iki. The only thing I want is to still have hotsprings in this game. I want equality in seeing female butt this time (after looking at Jin’s butt for so many times).
@Lavishturtle Do you think Sony cares about you calling them out for their incompetence? I really wonder why people from the pc masterrace are on a PlayStation website
@thefourfoldroot1 Agree, first they beg for every game to launch on PC (look at the amount of Bloodborne portbegging), but when there are strings attached (PSN login) the crying begins.
Astrobot, playing the last challenge before getting the platinum trophy. After that I think I will start up my Switch. Never finished Mario oddysey and bowsers fury but I’m now fully into platforming.
Also still have persona 5 Royal that is still to be opened
@get2sammyb Holy sh*t! If I were Sony I would fire Hermen Hulst. If I were Sony I would create more teams like Asobi as Nintendo also has small teams and have hit after hit. These bloated game studios are not viable it seems
EDIT: as a CPA (now consultant in M&A) this would be the most easily identified impairment ever 🤭
10 for me easy! I was playing deaths door (which is amazing.. do you guys know similar type games?) but this brings me back to the good old days of platformers
I watched/read multiple reviews but it seems this game is not for me. Playstation plus is already super expensive, which even keeps me from playing games like destiny 2 (being a dad I won’t be using PS plus a lot hence it being expensive… currently I’m lucky if I game 2 hours a week).This game costing €40 euro whilst being behind the PS plus paywall means I won’t be buying . Also the characters… I mean why couldn’t Sony release a remaster of MAG or Killzone?
Edit: I do hope the studio will not get closed as every channel /article I visited mentions the gameplay loop is good
This piece in the article really explains my feeling lately ‘’ gamers don’t stay up until past midnight in Europe to find out Amazon’s MMO New World is getting ported to PS5; they don’t get up early in Asia to learn a console port of Valorant is getting a closed console beta. They want to see Naughty Dog; they want to see Sucker Punch‘’
My time (as a father of two) is limited and every time these events are lack luster i just zone out. Recently my purchases have dropped significantly because if Sony does not care I don’t either (except Astrobot). It also explains why I have not purchased Spider-Man 2 (normally I bought all Sony exclusives on day one).

Re: Kadokawa Confirms Sony Acquisition Interest
@anoyonmus interesting? I got in an argument with him resulting in almost getting perma banned.
Re: Kadokawa Confirms Sony Acquisition Interest
@Friendly ofcourse you do (as someone who mainly comments on Purexbox it’s the stance I would expect).

Re: Kadokawa Confirms Sony Acquisition Interest
@K1LLEGAL You mean the time that they purchased Bethesda and then Activision blizzard for $70 billion dollars? Really strange when Xbox fans ask for more after one of the largest acquisitions ever (7th on this list https://mnacommunity.com/insights/the-largest-mergers-and-acquisitions-in-history/)

Re: PS5's Ghost of Yotei Triggers Social Media, Ex-Sony Exec Says 'If You Don't Like It, Don't Buy It'
@Ludacritz Indeed, bring on the hotsprings. I don’t understand people opposing to playing a female lead (better to look at imo)
Re: PS5's Ghost of Yotei Triggers Social Media, Ex-Sony Exec Says 'If You Don't Like It, Don't Buy It'
@Americansamurai1
Gruff white male you mean? Yeah, it also goes the other way around.
Re: PS5's Ghost of Yotei Triggers Social Media, Ex-Sony Exec Says 'If You Don't Like It, Don't Buy It'
jin’s story was over after iki. The only thing I want is to still have hotsprings in this game. I want equality in seeing female butt this time (after looking at Jin’s butt for so many times).
Re: Poll: What Did You Think of Sony's State of Play for September 2024?
For me:
1. Astrobot DLC
2. Soul reaver remaster
3. Ghost of hotsprings 🤭
Re: Astro Bot's Free DLC Adds Speedrun Levels, New VIP Bots in Fall 2024
Really looking forward to this. 1 trophy till platinum (last level of the golden statue)

Sony announces that Hermen Hulst is fired and decreases PlayStation Pro price to €599 😌 (a man can dream)
Edit: Totally forgot to include Bloodborne remaster or a sequel

Astrobot and maybe some GT7 (who am I kidding I think I will play more Astro)

Re: State of Play Rumoured for This Month As Sony Looks Set to Skip PS Showcase in 2024
@Ralizah That’s why we need more games like astrobot 🙂
Re: State of Play Rumoured for This Month As Sony Looks Set to Skip PS Showcase in 2024
Hermen Hulst has such a punchable face… I really despise him as a fellow Dutchy. I really dislike the moment he took over with Ryan
Re: Japan Sales Charts: Astro Bot Barely Registers at Retail, PS5 Numbers Plummet After Price Hike
@Wazeddie22 It has no underage girls in it (or it’s not Nintendo).

@anoyonmus @johnedwin What’s up with the doom and gloom? Almost seem you guys whish this game to fail 🧐
Re: Despite Price Point, Analyst Firm Expects PS5 Pro to Sell Like PS4 Pro
@ButterySmooth30FPS I think I’m part of that group. Getting a shinier GT7 is all I need!
Re: All PS5 Pro Compatible Games
@GamingFan4Lyf I guess 🥲
Re: All PS5 Pro Compatible Games
I’m considering buying it purely for GT7 and demon souls 😊
Re: All PS5 Pro Compatible Games
@GamingFan4Lyf Just read that GT7 is getting a 8k mode and a 4K/RT mode

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 545
I’m on holiday with the wife and kids, but when we go back home I will be playing astrobot
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Astro Bot?
Not playing it but it’s installed on my PS5 (currently on holiday with the wife and kids 😊)
Re: Concord (PS5) - Live Service Debut Beats the Hate with Stellar Presentation and Good Gameplay
@Northern_munkey Really? I always thought multiplayer games were behind PS Plus. Thanks for the information. Guess i will be playing Destiny then!!
Re: Concord (PS5) - Live Service Debut Beats the Hate with Stellar Presentation and Good Gameplay
@get2sammyb I think the best solution are single players like uncharted with a multiplayer included.
Re: Concord (PS5) - Live Service Debut Beats the Hate with Stellar Presentation and Good Gameplay
@get2sammyb Yeah, which was a shame as that game was far ahead its time (on console).
Re: Concord (PS5) - Live Service Debut Beats the Hate with Stellar Presentation and Good Gameplay
@DonJorginho My suggestions would be MAG, Warhawk or Killzone 🙂

Re: PS5 Fans Beg Sony for a More Fulfilling Livestream in the Aftermath of Xbox Show
@Enriesto Well, look at what they cooking 🤮 Concord haha
Re: PS5 Fans Beg Sony for a More Fulfilling Livestream in the Aftermath of Xbox Show
@MrMagic This goes the same way for PlayStation showings (e.g Monster hunter). Xbox had far more first party to show let’s be honest!
Re: PS5 Fans Beg Sony for a More Fulfilling Livestream in the Aftermath of Xbox Show
Agree, Xbox nailed it. Fable, Perfect Dark, Doom and Gears all looked amazing. Except Astrobot the showing of Sony was as they say it in the UK *****.
