@LiamCroft I'm not disagreeing with you, my point is the blame landed at Don's feet, to the point he had to step down and Spencer took over.
I don't think he's entirely to blame, same as Jim Ryan, but no matter what, the captain of the ship will be remembered and blamed for it all, as unfair as that is.
I think it's great Microsoft bought Bethesda, they need more games, they just don't have enough exclusives. But I don't want them to go overboard and buy up more studios.
Got rid of my Twitter and Facebook, and feel so much better for it. Too many people on social media are deranged and hysterical. I'm done with social media, I don't think it's done society and favours. I don't want it implemented into my console.
@PhantomMenace84 you're right. These lockdown measures are killing people, my cousin commited suicide recently because of it all. We should be cautious but I think we've overreacted. The long term costs are going to be brutal I fear.
Next they'll be telling all cars to go at 10mph because that way it's safer...
@Rob_230 I registered my interest with shopto back in February, you still have that registered interest. Log on now and confirm your interest, it'll go down as a pre order and backdate it to when you registered interest. So you might get the shopto one on day one still. Go to your pre orders page, it'll be there. I gave my pre order from them to my sister in-law when I got the Argos one.
I'll probably get Cyberpunk and AC Valhalla first, I still love Assassins Creed games. I'm hoping Sackboy will be good, I love LBP but I'll wait for reviews first. I think Sony are charging too much for their exclusives tbh.
It's exciting getting a day one console, isn't it? Been getting them since the PS2 era, but my parents got my the ps2 day one, I was still a kid then lol.
Great comment as well, nothing I disagree with tbh.
Did you manage to get your PS5 pre-order in btw? What region are you in? Was a bit of a cluster in the UK, but managed to get one with Argos. Honestly can't wait.
@Rob_230 seeing as you're being semantic, I'll clarify...
Microsoft are being more consumer friendly at the moment. I hope that was more to your liking.
I don't know where the console war comment came from? I'm a PlayStation gamer first and foremost, but I own all consoles. Competition is a good thing, nothing wrong with Microsoft making the competition sweat a little.
Sony are arrogant and extortionate, just like over 10 years ago. I hope Microsoft give them a kick in the teeth next generation, like with the 350/PS3. Sony heed humbling again.
@Starkei women aren't allowed their own safe spaces now, and to suggest otherwise makes you transphobic apparently.
The far left really are as insufferable as the far right. There's no discourse at all, if you have an opinion that isn't strictly in line with theirs you'll get called a "phobe" or some sort. It's tiresome.
I don't like JK very much, she tries too hard to virtue signal but she did nothing wrong here. In fact she's factually and biologically accurate in her statements.
Not really. It was... Fine? Nothing surprising, except maybe FF16.
They still haven't shown the console in action, it's features. The price was what I expected, and here in the UK we have to wait an extra week lol. Oh well.
@SmileyK nah just exclusive wise. Technically because it's b/c it probably has more games. And I've toyed with the idea of buying it again just so I can play HL2, Silent Hill, and others again. But I'm gonna wait and see what next gen has in store. Sony are giving Microsoft a big win by not following suit with b/c.
@SmileyK it's not about the cost for me, I just don't want one anymore, it's a dust collector. And it had a lack of exclusives, yes. Don't worry, I'm not taking it as hostile, they're fair questions.
I'd rather play a touched up version of Mass Effect so it doesn't feel as dated.

Re: Rumour: Mass Effect Trilogy Remaster Now Planned for Early 2021
@nessisonett actually happy to hear someone agree with me lol. The soundtrack of these games are so chilled as well.
Re: Rumour: Mass Effect Trilogy Remaster Now Planned for Early 2021
Tried the first game again last week with Game Pass on the Xbox One X and I don't think it's aged as bad as people say.
Re: PlayStation Girl Pokes Fun at PS5 Pre-Order Scramble
@Col_McCafferty and she can always say no, unless it's part of the role she agreed to do. Men get told the same if it's required for the job role.
I'm sure she can stand up for herself, I don't think she needs us defending her from her paid job she agreed to take.
Re: PlayStation Girl Pokes Fun at PS5 Pre-Order Scramble
@Col_McCafferty 🙄
She seems happy with the job lol.
Re: Football Manager 2021 Is Not on PS5, PS4 Because Sony Didn't Send Devkits
Oh, Sony. That is such a classic 2020 Sony thing to do.

Re: Reaction: Spider-Man PS5 Debacle Shows Sony Is Out of Touch
@LiamCroft well, wasn't Don Mattrick to blame for the launch of the Xbox One?
Re: Poll: Has Xbox's Bethesda Buyout Made You Reconsider a PS5 Purchase?
Sonys arrogance and greed is making me reconsider the PS5.
Re: Sony Confirms Spider-Man PS5 Remaster Is Not a Free Upgrade
@JesWood13 inevitable and justified outrage.
Re: Sony Confirms Spider-Man PS5 Remaster Is Not a Free Upgrade
Sony making Xbox more and more appealing every day.
Re: Microsoft Ponders More Video Game Company Acquisitions
@get2sammyb why bend the knee? The headline was fine. Write the article you want to write.

Re: UK Retailer GAME Quietly Adds £10 Delivery Charge to PS5 Pre-Orders
Cancelled my Game pre order and went with Argos. Happy to not give my money to Game.

Seems Microsoft just cares more about gamers. Sony wouldn't allow this

It doesn't fit under my tv 😂
Re: The Elder Scrolls, Fallout Developer Bethesda Bought By Microsoft
This is insane. What a mic drop, especially if they all come to Game Pass.

So does my wife 😔

When will they apologise for their greedy first party game prices?

Re: Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition PS5 Box Art Is Pure Smokin' Sexy Style
I wonder if Sony will double down on their censoring for next gen? That lens flared butt was stupid.
Re: The Dream Is Dead: PS5 Will Not Play PS3, PS2, or PS1 Games
Predictable but massively disappointing. They should have just announced this ages ago.
Oh well, I still use my Xbox One X to play older games. On The Orange Box again
Re: Kingdoms of Amalur PS4 Patch 1.05 Fixes Game-Breaking Disappearing Enemy Bug, Improves Stability
@OutspokenGamer free pass then. Got it
Re: Kingdoms of Amalur PS4 Patch 1.05 Fixes Game-Breaking Disappearing Enemy Bug, Improves Stability
Thought they had about 8 years to patch this.
Re: Reaction: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of Today's PS5 News
PS5 exclusive game prices are extortionate and greedy.
We've receeeed back to the 2007 arrogant Sony. I'll go for Xbox on day one this time.
Re: Talking Point: Did the PS5 Showcase Event Deliver?
Not really. It was... Fine? Nothing surprising, except maybe FF16.
They still haven't shown the console in action, it's features. The price was what I expected, and here in the UK we have to wait an extra week lol. Oh well.
Re: There Was a New Splinter Cell Game in Development After All... For Oculus VR

Re: Sony Has a Mystery Event Planned for PAX Online Next Week
If it isn't the full reveal, with console features, price and release date them I'm going to go with Xbox on day one. I'll get a PS5 down the line.
Re: Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake Confirmed for PS4, Coming January 2021
Graphics aren't Stella, but I'm just glad it's the game we all remember, and not an open world live service game.
I hope they do Warrior Within as well, even though it split people.
Re: You'll Still Have to Pay for EA Play Independently on PS5, PS4
EA😂😂😂... Literally the worst. I haven't bought any of their games since the Battlefront 2 fiasco
I'll buy their inevitable Mass Effect trilogy remaster, because I'm a hypocrite lol
Re: Poll: How Much Are You Willing to Pay for PS5?

Re: Poll: How Much Are You Willing to Pay for PS5?
I'd happily trade my wife for one
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Multiplayer Will Have Microtransactions, Says Developer
I'd only be bothered if it was a multiplayer focused game with microtransactions that aren't exclusively cosmetic.
I won't even touch the online component to this game anyway, as long as SP isn't effected then 🤷♂️
Re: Can You Name These PlayStation Peripherals?
PlayStation pregnancy kit 😂I had to pick that answer.

@Powerpellet you might enjoy it now, pal. You got VR? Definitely worth experiencing if you have the chance 👍
Re: Rumour: Mass Effect Trilogy Remaster Set for October Reveal and Release, But Date Might 'Slip'
@SmileyK nah just exclusive wise. Technically because it's b/c it probably has more games. And I've toyed with the idea of buying it again just so I can play HL2, Silent Hill, and others again. But I'm gonna wait and see what next gen has in store. Sony are giving Microsoft a big win by not following suit with b/c.
