@Col_McCafferty So when the same YouTubers praised God of War, Spider-Man, Red Dead Redemption 2, The Last of Us 1, Uncharted 4 (just to name a few AAA titles) they were doing it for the clicks again?
I am confused?
Hate gets the clicks but praise does not?
How that changed in the last 1-2 years on YouTube?
Did they just became "BIGOTS!!!" only for this game?
@Commander91_YT I get what you are saying and I agree for the most part. However even educated (on the matter) people can still disapprove on certain lifestyles.
For example I do not like diversity for the sake of diversity. I learned a lot about the LGBTQ community and I still do not like it. I will never protest against it or something like that but I think it is ok for people to say that the do not like certain aspects like that in games.
It does NOT ruin the game or at least if it is done right. As long as everyone is minding their own business and not throw insults for others personal preferences I am fine.
But if someone say "I do not like that Ellie is gay." it is met with "OMG bigot! Go die somewhere! Stupid male gamer this game is not for you!". This is what is disgusting.
At first I did not like it either but now I do not care at all.
For me the gameplay and graphics look amazing. It will never beat the story of the first game. People wanted to continue to experience the bond between Joel and Ellie. But instead we got characters that most people will not even remember because they do not serve any other purpose except for casualties.
Also why no article about how the sales went down by 80% after the initial burst? This is lower than ANY other PS exclusive this generation.
Also why market the scene where Joel tells Ellie "Do you think I will let you do this alone?" Where in the actual game Jesse tells her that in this exact moment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=II5UsqP2JAk at the 2:19 mark. That is false advertising NOT clever positioning.
I definitely want to experience the gameplay only and the environments but not at the price tag of 60$.
1. Continuing The Last of Us Remastered. 2. Some Bloodstained Curse of the Moon runs as I have not played it in a long time. 3. I have an itch for some Zelda. Probably BotW or one of the 3DS games.
I do not care about the petition as the story can't be changed but still ... the angry mob here is appalling.
This is a Sony fan site ofc people will love all exclusives but still ...
Negative feedback is NOT allowed anymore?! I mean real feedback not 0/10 reviews.
And do not act like those positive reviews are more real than the negative. I read them. "10/10 perfect game" is NOT real review.
90% of the independent reviews (streamers and people that played the whole game) give the game 5/10. It is fair. It is NOT fulfilling, just shock value.
I have watched 3 hours of the game so far and I am glad about it. I will watch the rest in YouTube as I care only how it ends but the story so far is very bad.
Nothing compared to the first one. The main characters are done so badly that I do not even care what happens to them after the 2nd hour (SPOILER: IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN).
The Last of Us 1 is still superior game. Graphics does not mean anything if you can't back it up.
Those all features are really nice but I don't want that stupid rumour about the overheating to be true. I don't want another console that is loud, overheats or have coil whine. I would go as far as give them another 100$ on top of the price just to have it better engineered to avoid such issues.
Beat it to 100% on PS4. The game is great but there are some shortcomings that really bother me.
Some areas just don't have a "soul". They are empty.
And I would've liked some variety on the shards.
@get2sammyb So there is no official info about the game being played just from the disc install? I hope the patch are 4K graphics or something like that.
Well I only buy physical media so this is great! Only on some rare occasions I would consider digital like if the game is exclusively digital and I really want it!
@eltomo @Lando_ In terms of games yes PS4 is superior to Xbox but in terms of hardware quality PS as at the bottom. It is true that the exclusives make or brake a console. But Sony should also commit to the quality of their console. I am talking about the PS4 Pro perfect games but loud hardware, coil whine etc.
@Ypmud Because some people love complete collection on the physical media. That is all.
I know it is weird to some people but there is a difference in day one patch for a single player game that just adds bug fixes or HD graphics AND day one update that is with COMPLETE games.
Also I do not care about "dIgITaL iS the FuTuRe!!!". I just want the products I buy to be made with care and not rushed or made with "cut corner" tactics.
Also RDR2 shipped on 2 bluray discs and the whole game is playable from the start. This shows that some publishers care more than others.

So understanding is NOT everything.
Re: Here's Your First Look at Official PS5 Game Box Art
Excellent!
I loved Spider-Man and I am pretty sure I will love Miles Morales as well!
Re: 30 Minutes of Assassin's Creed Valhalla Gameplay Leaked Online
I loved Origins and Odyssey so I will love playing Valhalla.
I get why people are tired of the formula but for me the exploration in those games is so addicting.

Re: Crysis Remastered Delayed Following Poor Reception to Leaks
@GADG3Tx87 "Is this what we've become?"
We always have been like that. Now we just have access to so much tools to show it to the world.
Don't worry we are not worse than before but not better either.
Re: The Last of Us 2 Director Discusses Online Vitriol
From the dawn of the Internet people behave like that because they know (in most cases) nothing will come to them.
Attacking an actress just because you do not like a character is just madness.
But unfortunately there is no way to stop this so it is better to just ignore it.
Re: UK Sales Charts: The Last of Us Remastered Returns Amid Sequel's Success
@carlos82 You have not played the first one?
There are way more infected in the game and it is more about survival while reaching your final goal.
Re: UK Sales Charts: The Last of Us Remastered Returns Amid Sequel's Success
I got the Remastered for 2$ from a clueless seller. Best bargain in a while.
Currently playing it.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 330
1. Continuing The Last of Us Remastered.
2. Some Bloodstained Curse of the Moon runs as I have not played it in a long time.
3. I have an itch for some Zelda. Probably BotW or one of the 3DS games.

Re: Poll: What Is Your Preferred Game Length?
I prefer games that have around 10-20 hours of main story with real end and then I am free to play as I like.
God of War, Spider-Man, Diablo 3, Assassin's Creed Series, Fallout etc.
Re: Of Course The Last of Us 2 Is Being Review Bombed
@Cloud39472 Critic reviews are also useless because the reviewers don't even finish the games.
The infamous video comes to mind about a game journalist/critic that could not finish the tutorial of Cuphead.
Those people just write what they have been told to.
So both reviews are useless.
Re: Of Course The Last of Us 2 Is Being Review Bombed
@Deadlyblack This is not true!
Spider-Man was not bombed - https://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-4/marvels-spider-man
God of War was not bombed - https://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-4/god-of-war
RDR2 was not bombed - https://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-4/red-dead-redemp...
So maybe there is a reason TLOU2 is. Just saying.
Re: The Last of Us 2 - Essential Sequel Is Naughty Dog's Best Effort
@LN78 I will see it through the end but it is pretty gutting.
Re: The Last of Us 2 - Essential Sequel Is Naughty Dog's Best Effort
@LN78 Thank you.
I wonder what the user reviews will be like.

Re: Round Up: What Was Announced at Sony's PS5 Games Reveal Event?
I am super excited for Spider-Man Miles Morales! I did not care for the other stuff.
Re: Feature: Why PS5 Has Got Us So Hyped
Those all features are really nice but I don't want that stupid rumour about the overheating to be true. I don't want another console that is loud, overheats or have coil whine. I would go as far as give them another 100$ on top of the price just to have it better engineered to avoid such issues.
Re: Surprises in PS4's All-Time Best Selling Exclusives List
@Hylian-Likely Sorry but I loved every bit of it. As of late I even play it just to swing around NY. It is such satisfying and freeing feeling
Re: Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night - The Finest Castlevania Game Never Made

Some areas just don't have a "soul". They are empty.

Re: Castlevania Anniversary Collection Release Date Announced, Full Lineup of Games Revealed
Why Kid Dracula? Why?! It is a parody game! The rest are perfect!!!
Give us The Adventure Rebirth instead of Kid Dracula!!! Damn it!!!
Re: Days Gone Will Eat a Whopping Portion of Your PS4's Hard Drive
@get2sammyb So there is no official info about the game being played just from the disc install?
I hope the patch are 4K graphics or something like that.
Re: Don't Worry, PS5 Will Have a Disc Drive
Well I only buy physical media so this is great!
Only on some rare occasions I would consider digital like if the game is exclusively digital and I really want it!
Re: God of War Celebrates One Year Anniversary with Thank You Video, Free Theme, and Avatars
One of the best games ever created!

Re: Animated Arcade Game Cuphead Skipping PS4
Everyone wins in this case.
If you can afford it:
Xbox for multiplats and superior build quality.
PS for exclusives. These are hitting godlike levels.
Nintendo for exclusives. Godly exclusives + portability.
At least that is how I see it at the moment.
Re: Konami Celebrates 50th Anniversary with Retro Collections Coming to PS4
@NintendoFan4Lyf That is why for me the best way to play SOTN is again on the PSP but the PS1 version
Re: Konami Celebrates 50th Anniversary with Retro Collections Coming to PS4
@NintendoFan4Lyf I will be confused if they release SotN and Rondo on the other consoles as well but again I want them on everything.
I doubt that Konami will do it but then again it is Konami and they are "Miserable little pile of sh … secrets".
Re: EA Thinks ANTHEM Will Sell 6 Million Copies in Six Weeks
This game looks so generic. I think it will flop.
Re: Game of the Year 2018: Lloyd's Personal Picks
Nice list but I would put GoW on 1st place, Spider-Man on 2nd and RDR2 on 3rd.
Re: Feature: Best PS2 Classics That Need to Come to PS4
I want Castlevania Lament of Innocence
Re: PS4 Pro Has Been a Good Example of Necessary Evolution, Says Sony
@roe Same here. But the fan is loud only on Pro enhanced games that are NOT locked at 30fps.
Re: The Game Awards 2018: God of War Wins Game of the Year
Yes! I was worried that RDR2 will win it but Kratos put it in its place!
Re: Site News: Push Square Readers Vote for Game of the Year
God of War > RDR2.
Re: Guide: The Game Awards 2018 - Dates, Times, and What to Expect
Both God of War and Spider-Man deserve to win the Game of the Year award.
I will be pretty disappointed if some of the other games win it.
Re: Black Friday 2018: God of War PS4 Price Axed in Both UK and US
In my country I got it yesterday for 58% discount. I guess that was the best they could offer and I am glad to finally have my own copy of God of War!
Re: God of War, Spider-Man Up for Game of the Year as PlayStation Dominates The Game Awards 2018
Voted for God of War. I hope it wins!
Re: God of War, Spider-Man Up for Game of the Year as PlayStation Dominates The Game Awards 2018
I hope God of War beats RDR2. Really God of War deserves to win 2018!
Re: Hands On: Spyro: Reignited Trilogy Fires Up Our Nostalgia with Gorgeous Remake
@Ypmud Because some people love complete collection on the physical media. That is all.
I know it is weird to some people but there is a difference in day one patch for a single player game that just adds bug fixes or HD graphics AND day one update that is with COMPLETE games.
Also I do not care about "dIgITaL iS the FuTuRe!!!". I just want the products I buy to be made with care and not rushed or made with "cut corner" tactics.
Also RDR2 shipped on 2 bluray discs and the whole game is playable from the start. This shows that some publishers care more than others.
That is ofc ALL MY take on the things!
Re: Hands On: Spyro: Reignited Trilogy Fires Up Our Nostalgia with Gorgeous Remake
Only if all 3 games were on the disc
Re: Comicbook Legend and Co-Creator of Spider-Man Stan Lee Dies Age 95
@get2sammyb Indeed. The last time I saw him was when I played Spider-Man. It was so heart warming to hear how much he loved his creations.
Re: Comicbook Legend and Co-Creator of Spider-Man Stan Lee Dies Age 95
He is a legend.
Re: Fallout 76's Gigantic Day One Patch Is Bigger Than the 45GB Game
I hope this fails hard so Bethesda could finally stop experimenting with online/multiplayer and focus on their great single player games.
Re: Sony's Stealth Released a New PS4 Pro Model, and It's Quieter
My Spider-Man Pro is fine. I can hear it when I play heavy games but it is ok. On some games it is silent.
I hate such revisions on expensive consoles. It can make people regret their purchase.
Re: Soapbox: Castlevania Requiem’s Release is Vamp-perfectly Timed for Halloween
As a Huge Castlevania fan I love them ALL!
Each has its own amazing details.
However my top spots are for the Metroid-Vania Castlevania games.
They will never get old for me.
I own them all and play them occasionally.
Long LIVE Castlevania.
Re: Red Dead Redemption 2 Isn't Best on PS4 Pro, But It Still Looks Damn Fine
@BlueOcean Glorious 10fps not normal 10fps. There is a difference!
Re: Red Dead Redemption 2 Isn't Best on PS4 Pro, But It Still Looks Damn Fine
@BlueOcean Yes. In the end only the games matter If I could I would even play it on the Switch at 480p without shadows
Re: Red Dead Redemption 2 Isn't Best on PS4 Pro, But It Still Looks Damn Fine
@BlueOcean Too bad I have to enjoy it later because I have so much to play before that. But it is definitely a must buy.
