Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard Sales Keep Pace with Dragon's Dogma 2, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth in UK

Labelling critics as haters, okay then. I find it bizarre that anyone would expect someone to want a game to do well economically regardless of however bad it is. This game has absolutely flopped when measured against any reasonable context, the estimated numbers weren't pulled from thin air, using steam numbers, PSN and retail. The franchise went from 16 million to maybe 1.

Re: Assassin's Creed Boss Says Series Is Inherently Diverse, Just Like History

The first playable historic character they decide is going to be some obscure figure that originated from the other side of the planet from the setting, appearing completely different from everyone else in the country isn't a great trait for an Assassin. A lot of mindless waffle from this dev. The game is set in different places on earth in different ages, of course there will be varied representation 🤦 the games have never been historically accurate, they're games not teaching tools. People are upset because they used this one game and instance to explain away a perceived bad choice. I'm sure there are many many AC fans that have waited a long time for a Japanese game and were looking forward to playing as a ninja or samurai, what they're getting is not what they expected to be getting and being disappointed is apparently 'toxic'.

Re: Atomfall Shares First Gameplay Look, Out for PS5, PS4 in March

Looks fine, I'm not sure the actual storyline will be all that interesting, probably just wait for it to be on sale. When you start out your trailer trying to get me excited about a couple of burnt out vehicles and a shoddy playground.... yeah, okay. I'm not sure if that was supposed to be humour but it didn't land.

Re: PS5's Ghost of Yotei Triggers Social Media, Ex-Sony Exec Says 'If You Don't Like It, Don't Buy It'

Don't much care, I still haven't played the first game, I'll probably pass on the second. Where Sony have had a choice of lead character in the past years since ps5/late PS4 the split has been about 50/50 between male and female. Ghost should have been perfect to just create your own character, you don't often or ever get that choice with Sony, they like their brands and recognisable faces are brands.
