@Enuo I dunno, the sort of people who’d buy a Pro are absolutely the sort of people who’d give money to these idiots. Money to burn after all, if you’re concerned about the financial implications of the Pro then you’re bound to be less likely to dump money on a random Kickstarter.
@Jefferson280 Technically you’re advocating for censorship by whining about the erasure of male/female because I’m assuming that means that you don’t want any trans representation in gaming. Which is censorship.
The absolutely hilarious part is that he points to the religious right in America, which is absolutely where censorship comes from even today. But there’ll probably still be whining about the ‘woke’.
I stopped playing it to be honest. Actually enjoyed the first season, zero stakes and just pure shooty fun. But the content didn’t really arrive in time.
I don’t really buy games as they’re expensive to be honest. Got the new faux-FIFA for my birthday so that’s all my mindless sh*t covered for a year. I usually dabble in a big game alongside evergreen ones so this is perfect for me on that front… if it goes cheap by Christmas or I leave it for eventual PS Plus. Still waiting on Jedi Survivor actually, could see that hitting PS Plus next year.
He always says this stuff about the cinematic nature of games but honestly his games feel bloody good to play. Death Stranding and MGS V are very very good to control.
@LastSaneManOnEarth Spot the American. Come on now, Stanford’s study into hybrid work found that there was zero impact on productivity and it both staves off burnout and increases retention. You’re talking out your arse.
The most French outcome possible. They do have a point though, a snap ‘everyone back to the office’ is unrealistic because a lot of them had to rejig their lives when the hybrid office work came into effect. Being that strict just creates tension and well, they’re French. Of course they’ll strike.
It’s absolutely a good step. You aren’t buying any of this, you’re buying a license. It’s like saying you’ve bought a painting, when in fact you’ve bought the right to view the painting at the real owner’s discretion, and it can be revoked at any time. If digital games aren’t real ownership then they should be a fraction of the physical price given there’s close to zero distribution overheads.
@Deoxyr1bose It’s a shame that the lesson isn’t to just create games for specific markets. Sony used to make a bunch targeting the European market with European devs but everything’s too American now. I want The Getaway except it’s slightly more playable!
@NEStalgia It turns out all you have to do is have the backing of possibly the largest industrial complex that the human race has ever seen in order to score a hit. Who knew?
@TedLassoNikes It’s the end product of ‘grindset’ mentality. Screw over everyone else but as long as you get your money it’s alright. It’s worrying seeing just how many people I’ve seen, especially young women, plugging random scam products on their socials just for a bit of money. Like I went to high school with you, why are you trying to sell me a sunbed? There’s not even any way to convince these people not to scam others though. You say that scalping and such is immoral and they’ll just say whatever, a million others would take their place.
I love Worms. I even love Worms Forts on PS2 despite knowing it’s dogsh*t, incredibly buggy and on one of those weird blue discs that makes my PS2 make funny noises.
Everything is over. The world is cooked. Decency is dead. Human nature has devolved to the point that even something as silly as a limited edition PS bundle is entirely impossible to get as a normal person with massively inflated prices due to exploiting demand with low stocks encouraging scalping. Now imagine that happening with insulin and you’ve got a grasp of the mess we find ourselves in.
Who’s really that fussed about replaying these games again? Anyone that was itching to do so would have just played them when the remake of 1 and the remaster of 2 came out.
@pharos_haven Yeah, you’re a descendant of Erdrick in the first two games. They’re a sort of mythical figure in those games so 3 finally tells the story of them.
It’s worse. The fibres on her top have been smoothed out and they’ve also gotten rid of a lot of her skin blemishes. Lord knows why they’ve given her lipstick too. Skin tone’s more realistic though, less waxy.
It’s actually laughable how much it looks like that ‘improvement’ that went viral where they gave her makeup.
@IamJT It’s not like anybody would really use the 8K option when the console released but it was a clear indication of future-proofing that the PS4 lacked as they needed the Pro to integrate 4K! It’s the blatant misleading nature of it that rankles.
@WizzNL You’re probably onto something there, if a game’s that long then you won’t be in a mood to replay it just for a visual boost. That leaves people playing it for the first time but it’s still one of the few first party PS5 games and you have to imagine the group of people that will buy a PS5 Pro and haven’t played this game will be pretty small.
It’s baffling that anybody would be surprised that they aren’t doing more Jin. The first game was set in a specific semi-historical event, so you would have to try and just make crap up to have more of him. It makes the most sense to use a different time period.
It’s an utterly terrible investment, by its very nature it’ll be replaced by the PS6 sooner rather than later if this is the ‘mid-point’ of the generation. That’s the difference between this and a PC, it’s not future proofed at all as it will only run the games that are designed for it.
@Andy22385 So it’s not Sony’s fault that they used 8K as a marketing tool on their own console packaging, which was then removed later as they go back on their own marketing? And then develop a patch for their mid-gen refresh that adds in the feature advertised for the original console?
It’s absolutely baffling that westerners have engineered a backlash against AC Shadows. Literally the ‘Japanese academic’ outraged at it was outed as some random white dude. It looks decent, as do most Ubi games. Not going to set the world on fire but who cares if it’s fun enough.
