@Turbodream I'm in the very good catagory. But I have some criticisms, and when I bring them up I get called a troll, or trump supporter, or misogynist.
Have to say though in regards to your Death Stranding comment. I genuinely adored that game.
@SaikoWaifu2003 just proved yourself wrong there, haven't you, troll? I don't like Trump, I think he's a giant buffoon. I also think Abby is an amazing character, the best thing about TLOU2. But her arms were over the top, and so was Chris Redfield arms in RE5, I criticised that as well. But at least Resi isn't trying to be grounded and serious, it's a campy horror series, or it was until 7.
Wanna try again? Or has your TDS broken your thinking capacity?
I used to keep my VR processing unit plugged into the PS4 all the time, but with the PS5 it downgrades the data, it won't do 120hz with that plugged in, so I have to keep reconnecting the entire thing if I want to play it. Such a hassle.
@SaikoWaifu2003 grow up, kid. I'd love to see a citation of overlap. And even if there was... So what? What's the election got to do with gaming? Stop being a troll.
@SaikoWaifu2003 how the hell did you make this about Trump? 🤡Those 4 years must have been awful for you. Take a day off from your TDS. Not everything needs to be made about your TDS.
@NDL08 except it is a fraction. The game sold incredibly. Twitter isn't real life. Vast majority of people don't care. And if they do cry about an agenda, ignore them. Don't lump criticisms in with their complaints and don't deny that doesn't happen either, it does. Ive seen many criticise the narrative direction and get called haters for it. Too often.
@NDL08 that's a small fraction of people. I've seen people get called haters and trolls because they weren't happy Joel died. People who criticise the story at all are attacked for it. I'm not on about the tiny fraction who complain about any agenda.
One criticism I agree with is the size of Abbys arms though. They were ridiculous on Chris Redfield, they're ridiculous on her, because the game is much more grounded. But it doesn't detract from the game, I like that character quite a bit.
All I see is people getting pre-emptively upset at people who might spew "hate". Or what I like to call it: criticisms. Can't criticise without getting called a troll or hater these days.
Going back to the awards, it's well deserved, I hope it wins GOTY, that or FFVIIR, which I personally enjoyed slightly more. TLOU2 was a solid 9/10. But if people didn't like it, that's fine, I can see and understand why, I'm not bigoted enough to dismiss their complaints as "hate".
@God_of_Nowt don't know if I agree, pal. Sackboy is in the high 70s, which is a pretty good score, especially for a mid tier game. I'm enjoying it myself tbh, playing it on the PS4 with my daughter. I think every review dropped a few points because of the lack of multiplayer on launch, so it probably would have scored higher if that was there.
Like I said, I'm OK with a price increase, but to pay much more than the US market and have it jump by £20, which is like $24 top of my head, is a big ask.
And yeah man, shopto is great 😂 best thing about going fully digital with games is those PSN wallet codes!
@God_of_Nowt I can't even pretend to have a right answer, pal. I'm just comparing our prices here in the UK to the US market. We're paying more here than in the US, which seems unfair. I'm OK with Game prices going up, it happens every generation here, but a £20 jump is a little bit too much in one go. I think £60 or £65 would have been a better middle ground.
@God_of_Nowt I don't actually drink 😂I was trying to convey that Kermit the frog meme lol. I think I messed it up, it says "but that's none of my business" I think? I don't know how to post pics on here!
The rare occasions I will have a whisky, its usually apple flavoured JD.
@ShogunRok appreciate the answer ☺Sorry to hear it didn't do anything for you though.
BTW this is the only site where you authors will answer questions we have in the comments section. This is my main gaming site since I gave up on IGN. Keep up the excellent work.
I know you're not a fan of the modern stay stuff, but does this one at least refocus it's narrative? Ever since Desmond died there's been no direction, no goal, like with the original trilogy where they were trying to stop the world ending by 2012. Or is it just filler again?
@deathaxe yeah, man, thanks very much, makes a ton of sense. I was wondering if the PSN store was quicker, AC Valhalla downloaded a lot quicker than expected
@LiterallyDoNotCare why are you so upset? 😂 I'm go where I choose to, you can get over that as well.
No, I don't care if people want to spend £70 on a game, I literally just said you buy that if you want, and that I hope you love the game🤡can't you read? You spend your money however you want, I don't care. You however seems incredibly upset that I won't spend my money how you demand lol. Why do you care so much? You do you.
Just calm down, kid. You're getting so incredibly upset and abusive for no good reason, and telling me to F off is just childish. How old are you?
"Keyboard warriors are a waste of my time"
You're the only keyboard warrior here, my dude. You're abusing everyone from the safety of your keyboard.
@LiterallyDoNotCare yep, it is. In one month I played Gears 1 - 5, Halo 1 - 5, some of the Outer Worlds, Fallout 76 off and on, Hellblade and some others, what a bargain. When there's nothing I want to play, I'll cancel the subscription. Better than paying £70 for a remake I've already completed on PS3.
I already said I'll wait for a sale.... Why are you so upset that I don't think a £20 price jump is justified? It's my opinion, no need to take it so personally, do you work for Sony?
"tHeN sWitHc, nO oNE WiLl mIsS you"
OK, calm down. I don't owe any corporation my loyalty, I'm sorry you think I should.
I think you should self reflect on why it upsets you so much that I have a different opinion to you. You want to pay for Demons Souls? That's great, I really hope you love it. I don't want to, and you're going to have to get over it, I guess.
For someone who claims to literally not care, you seem awfully invested in what I choose to spend my money on. Why not try to talk to me like a grown up, instead of that childishly, passive aggressive comment of yours?
And I don't force my opinions onto anyone 😂🤡 I state my opinions only, I can only speak for myself, and that upsets you for some reason. There's a lot of projection going on with you.
Imagine thinking above £70 is cheap 🤡 especially in a world with Game pass. Where did I claim I want games to be free or cheaper? I suppose when you lose the argument you resort to strawman arguments instead.
And I just have a different opinion, as do most here, but you're a Sony shill. I love how you think I should explain myself to you 😂🤡 go away, kid. You lost.
@TG16_IS_BAE give me another chance? 😂 I like how you feel I owe you an explanation for my views... I don't. You disagree with me, that's fine, I don't care. I stand by my statement that Sony are arrogant, especially when Game Pass is a thing. But I expect microtransactions to be done away with if they're not needed anymore to pay for inflated costs lol.
And Old School is my military nickname, its not meant to be taken literally, no idea why you did.
@naruball I'm soured on Jason Schrier anyway lol. He does some good reporting sometimes, but he's leaning too much into activist journalism for my liking.
@TG16_IS_BAE incorrect, it's a £20 increase. Not everyone lives in America. And if they want to increase it past £70 then it will be a £30 increase.
I'll vote with my wallet. I stand by my arrogant comment, especially in comparison with Xbox. Thank you.

Re: Sony Believes PS5 Game Pricing Is Fair, Denies It Considered Charging More
@God_of_Nowt that's what I do, I go on shopto and buy their psn wallet top ups, it works out cheaper, they're often discounted.
We need more mid tier games, AA. Not every game needs to be big budget games like RDR2. More things like Sackboy is a good thing.
