@TheDarkSide looking up a skirt is a timed-honoured tradition. Why else would there be such a huge opening? You look up my skirt all you want. As a Scotsman, which i may or may not be, I insist.
@MeanBeanEgg you directly attributed people not liking TLoU2 to some culture war, so you were talking about me even if you were generalising. That's the thing with throwing out generalisations willy nilly as if it's the sole reason, you end up including a majority of people who don't fit into such a reductive narrative.
@ChimpMasta totally agree. People trying to make it part of a 'culture war', I really don't get how they can be so easily influenced. A bad story is a bad story. If they like it, that's fine, I don't point at some existential crisis as the only reason why they like it, though I disagree strongly.
@MeanBeanEgg I'll never like TLoU2. Nothing to do with culture war nonsense, for me. I hated the narrative choices made and hated what was done to Ellie and Joel. The first game I treasure and adore.
@Deljo I would say, if there's any doubt in your mind, don't buy it yet, you're not missing out too much. If you're like me, get one just because you want it and you know it's only a matter of time before you buy it, so why wait? If you have a compatible TV, buy one.
@Guts711 imagined it, don't care, i've earned trophies since the day they started and it is not a measure of anything that demands treatment above and beyond someone who's never got a trophy. And if Sony decide to not give him review codes anymore, he hasn't trophy hunted in 3 years, he's not even doing what earned him the privilege, that's just how it is, he's not entitled to them, its Sony's perigative. I've owned every PS, including the Pro, so I demand Sony gives me his access to review codes.
@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare all good points, however I think the onus is on the profession and not the consumers. The game media industry has decided homogenisation, conformity, sensationalism, superficial clickbait, biased political activism, heavy handed moderation and intolerance of opposing views in the guise of righteous authority, are immutable virtues upon which to direct output.
You get what you deserve. Before Eurogamer lost its identity and became just another identikit game site, it was interesting and thought-provoking, and had a community to match. Now it's a hivemind community ready to pounce on any account showing opposing views, if there's time to before the mod deletes it.
@xHHHx his account showed irregularities, Sony investigated and reinstated the account. What's the problem? Sounds perfectly reasonable, if inconvenient. Should Sony just not do anything when an account flags up? And trophy hunters shouldn't get any preferential treatment so you bringing that up is irrelevant.
Oh well, who cares, move on. He hasn't even collected trophies for 3 years. Sony investigated, as they should, found no issue, reinstated the account. Talk about a non-story 🙄
I'm amazed if they are going for the male Shep in an age where TV shows are 'diversifying'. My money is still on a lady being the lead, which is fair in this case because Fem Shep is the better option. I'd pick Gina Carano for the part if she's still not ostracised for being unfairly dismissed by Disney.
@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare game journalism died years ago, replaced by scouring social media for 24/7 headlines, activism dependent on political views and marketing opportunities. There's no proper investigative journalism because those kinds for journos are not encouraged or employed by the industry, unless it suits a narrative held by the organisation.
Are some of you mental? The site is called PushSquare, it's PlayStation-centric by definition. A new console is out, of course PS is going to write lots of articles about it. How is that unexpected or annoying? Why do you even come here if something like that bothers you? Weird.
The animated screen is cool, and what's best is that means there'll be more.
@zupertramp you say so yourself, the OP is making assumptions. He's actually saying the CEO doesn't care. Amd youre saying hes nonchelant. There's simply no evidence of this, its all based on nothing more than a personal feeling to fit a perception. Certainly not based on the context of what was said in response to a question asked. In real terms, it's quite conceivable that the film's poor finacial result did not affect the franchise as a whole detrimentally.
@Odium how exactly have you come to the conclusion that the CEO doesn't care about Borderlands when he's specifically and exclusively talking about the actual financial impact of the film to the franchise, when asked the question?
The man is talking about the film's economic affect to the franchise, which didn't hurt the business, in relation to the fiscal call he'll soon be making. Getting annoyed by taking the comment out of context and adding extra meaning to it is pointless.
@GeeForce and yet it's not. Xbox Series X was technically the most powerful this gen but it wasn't forward thinking in its design, not as versatile with its architecture as PS5. This Pro is the first time we've seen a console released that is clearly on a progression path to the next generation.
@get2sammyb depends. Sony is likely to expect a run on both PS5 because it's discounted, and the Pro. They will gauge how quickly the Pro sells its first run of consoles, and how many PS5 Slim units are being bought and adjust its production capacity as required.

Re: Review: PS5 Pro - An Impressive Yet Inconsistent Upgrade
I have a Pro. Don't buy a Pro unless you own a VRR, 120hz capable TV. You will not notice the difference enough to warrant 700 quid on it otherwise.

Re: You'll Never See This Potential TV Mass Effect Commander Shepard Pick Coming
@IntrepidWombat Cena is far too old for the role. If he's cast as Shep it's purely for brand recognition and not suitability.
