Re: Gotham Knights' PS5 Platinum Will Keep You Busy

@huyi Jesus christ just GO AWAY...

I SAID MARRIED FOR 8 YEARS... not that it's any of your damn business. I've been with my spouse for 16. We both enjoy video games, we both do things for ourselves. Stop coming to a video game site and acting like you have the best life in the world. You are SCREAMING desperation and affirmation right now.

You tell others to go do something with their lives, maybe you should take your own advice and get off the internet for a bit. Cause if ANYONE here needs to spend time away from games, it seems to be you...

You are the one who can't handle that people want to play this game.

You are the one coming in here and talking down to everyone and telling them they don't spend their own time the way they should be.

Just do EVERYONE a favor and actually back up your words and stop posting.

You don't need to bother responding to me anymore because that ignore button is getting used tonight.

Bye Felicia!

@get2sammyb this whole troll in the comments section could have been avoided had you not mentioned the words "live service" for a game that IS NOT live service...

You gotta do better when you are reporting on stuff...

@huyi your whole past comment screams antagonistic and attacking...

Go play your precious Nioh and stop coming here and trying to spout nonsense just for the sake of trying to ruin a game for others.

Spoiler alert... all games have endings. There are these things called post game that people are free to choose to continue on with should they feel they want to.

This is a story based game that has a beginning, a middle, and... you guessed it... an end...

So please follow up on your promises and make these be your last posts... nobody wants to hear you go on any more...

@huyi thought that was your last post?

You are the one coming in here attacking everyone and bragging about your personal life...

I've been married for 8 years now AND have spent every weekend of the past year with my best friends and yet still have time to play a game I think I'm going to enjoy.

If you hate this game so much the GTF away and stop posting. Clearly all you are here for is to try and cause a fight and you aren't going to get it from me.

Since you are so hung up on this being a "live service game" here is a quote explaining why it's not...

"Gotham Knights will deliver a rich story to fans with a lot of gameplay elements that have been borrowed from live-service games. However, it will not be a live-service game itself. Players will be able to level up their characters, alter their equipment, and utilize drop-in/drop-out co-op. That is where the similarities stop, however. There will be no battle passes, and no extra currency. Gamers can play the game offline if they choose."

Now just go away and go back to your boyfriend who you apparently love so much you can't be bothered to play a game, but can spend HOURS on here arguing about said game...

@huyi yea... you said it was your last post 3 posts ago...

I also have a full time job, and am married, and have other hobbies, and yet I have no issues with this game because again... THE DEVS have point blank said... THIS IS NOT A LIVE SERVICE GAME... geeze get over yourself...

@Northern_munkey they are just out here trying to cause a fight and it's not working. They can play the "I feel attacked card" all they want but they know they are the ones that are wrong.

@huyi if you don't think you are going to enjoy it then don't buy it. But don't sit in here pretending you know what this game is when you sit here and call it a "life drain" with a battle pass.

It doesn't have a battle pass, it's not live service. It's an action game, with light rpg elements.

Get over yourself and troll elsewhere.

"As a co-op focused live service game, it makes sense that the Trophies are designed to keep you in Gotham City for as long as possible"

Avengers is a live service multi-player game. This is not. It is a multi-player focused game. The devs have been super clear about this.

Re: Armed Fantasia and Penny Blood Smash Kickstarter Stretch Goal, Officially Coming to PS5

torne

@Milktastrophe I don't think it was "you need to raise money". Based on how they worded their kickstarter they brought their vision to multiple publishers and they didn't believe people wanted the games. The kickstarter proves otherwise.

Here is the quote... "We pitched multiple publishers and none would fund our games without proof of concept. We believe in these titles and have tons of great stories to tell, so instead of giving up, we are proceeding down the only path we have with crowdfunding—to show that these are games the fans want to play."

If publishers don't think they are going to recoup money then they don't fund. The crowdfunding shows that there are people out there that want these games. So this shows publishers they can get their money back.

I don't think it's scummy, it's just economics.

Re: PS5 Price Increase Has Some Japanese Players Praying for PC Port of Final Fantasy 16

@LtSarge the same can be said for you then... don't read the comments... if it's been happening for years then clearly nothing is gonna change...

God forbid people give feedback and try to make the site better.

Journalism isn't just reading a few tweets and crafting an article around them. Japan hasn't turned on Sony. A few people in Japan have. Japan isn't "praying for a pc version of ff16". A few people in Japan are. Hell a bunch of people outside of Japan are. I'm also willing to bet that there are people thst own an Xbox and not a ps5 that are hoping FF16 comes to Xbox. This isn't news...

People that don't have a ps5 want to play a popular game on their system of choice...

@ReadySlayerOne it sucks because I genuinely had enjoyed this site up until recently... now it's just a barage of Sony hate. Not just by the editors but also in the comments. Some of it may be deserved but can we stop beating a dead horse?

Here's a few fun facts:
1: inflation is happening everywhere
2: the American dollar is strong compared to other countries
3: there are these fun things called exchange rates that impacts prices around the world
4: THIS ISNT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED! As i said yesterday, the ps4 had the same thing happen in canada like 6 months after launch, because the Canadian dollar was doing terribly compared to the American dollar.
5: the price of all goods and services are impacted by fluctuating markets, not just the ps5. Just because Microsoft has trillions of dollars and doesn't need to react right now doesn't mean they won't.

in the end this is simple economics and anyone claiming "Sony is greedy" are just being absolutely delusional.

Re: Japanese Gamers Aren't Impressed with PS5's Price Hike

@Ralizah I think I'm officially done with push square after this article. All @get2sammyb does is post negative articles about Sony and the only "proof" provided are some twitter posts.

@IonMagi you are just a troll. You post and post about how much of a garbage company Sony is and try and back it up with "research" but you don't even research it for yourself and often prove yourself wrong. THEN you proceed to double down on it making yourself look more foolish. Sometimes it's okay to take the L. Oftentimes it's more admirable.

In the end I have all 3 systems. I don't care about this. It's not the end of the world. In canada the same thing happened with the ps4 after I bought one. Price went up 50 bucks. The reason was because the Canadian dollar was doing absolutely garbage compared to the US dollar.

Things like this happen, it sucks... GET OVER IT!

@jFug exactly... the review for this site was so ridiculously out of place compared to every other review it wasn't funny.

I loved until dawn, and loved the quarry, but I have been pretty luke-warm on the Dark Pictures games.

Man of medan was okay but very underwhelming and little hope while a bit scarier was a train-wreck writing wise...

I haven't played house of ashes yet, but ive heard it's the best of the 3 that are out.

Re: PS Plus Collection's Resident Evil 7: Biohazard Won't Upgrade to PS5 for Free

torne

@Max_the_German real classy...

People need to realize that just because you got something as part of a subscription service doesn't mean you are entitled to a free upgrade.

This is a business Capcom needs to get paid for their efforts. As the article stated there is a possibility that they were only paid to include the ps4 version as part of plus. If the contract changes, which it can, then maybe the upgrade will be free later. Till then... deal with it.

@nessisonett I agree... it kind of makes me sad thst as a gay man who enjoys video games, that no matter what platform I play on, or basically what company I choose to buy games from I am stuck supporting a backwards country like this.

Doesn't matter if it's Nintendo or embracer, or multiple other companies... the Saudi regime has their hands in basically everything at this point.

@JSnow2 so don't buy it, they are obviously doing this to capitalize off of the TV show. There is potential for a whole new market of players here.

The first game came out 9 years ago, and the remaster came out 8 years ago. Lots of kids grew up in that time and could be looking to play this for the first time.

There are also going to be many people who just got their first console and watch the show and want to try it out.

Just because YOU don't want something doesn't mean others can't have it.
