Re: Reaction: Activision Blizzard Buyout Is Devastating for PS5, PS4

@Jaberwocky It affects gamers by stiffling competition, and by consequence innovation and creativity.

As a gamer, I may get a series X if the good games are there, same reason I got a PS5 or a Switch. But the Microsoft ways always leave a bad taste in the mouth.
I hope they do great things with the ip they've been acquiring but their history doesn't give me a lot of hope.

An interesting asymetric response could be to start working on PS Home/Metaverse together with Epic. Add value to the PS ecosystem and hit MS where they can't compete: innovation and creativity.

Petty Microsoft has been holding a grudge ever since Sony made fun of their Xbox one reveal fiasco. Small dick energy for sure.

@Ryguy2784 Completely agree. How can you not be angry when you pay at least $70 USD for a broken alpha?

Don't condone any threats or insults but it just feels like they are deflecting away from the fact that Battlefield 2042 was pretty much dead on arrival.

Not the devs really fault but EA's and DICE management. EA now has to greenlight Titanfall 3 to make up for it. #LoseWin

Not full on remake but R* did charge full price for them, huh?

To think they were one of my favorite devs of the ps2/ps3 era.

Happens to all game companies. They become successfull and transition into becoming soulless corporations that milk their own content to death until every unit of value has been squeezed from them.

Re: Sony Allegedly Funding Kojima Productions Silent Hill Game

Honestly I'd prefer the original SILENT HILL team involved in the Sony-funded project.

Hideo Kojima is just going to use half the budget to make more personal Hollywood connections and tour around the world. Again.

I'd rather Sony saved that money and give it to FROM instead to begin development on a Bloodborne sequel asap.

Re: Poll: Did You Buy Death Stranding Director's Cut?

Reading the comments I can see the most positive things anyone can say about this game is "it looks gorgeous" and "not boring just not for everyone".

At least everyone's stopped indulging Kojima with his dumb "I created new strand genre" bs. He did help shape the stealth genre but did not create it either.
