Idiots will buy anything.
Idiots will pre-order anything. There were probably a lot of sales before the controversy even started.
This right here.
Doesn’t sound like it’s a bad game, it’s just not anything amazing
I won a copy so I will play it one day
How did you win it?
Well it is a game for idiots
anything I don’t like is bad and anyone who plays it is an idiot

In this specific instance that statement is entirely accurate
Why do you have to be so toxic at all times?
This is a great example of misinterpreting what’s being said with an emotional response.
“I like this thing and defend its faults, and anyone who is against it is disingenuous”
Let people have fun. Maybe even try it yourself.
Such a telling and disheartening message…
What does it tell you?
That you don’t understand that the fun your referencing has a cost and the cost is paid by others in various ways. A lot of suffering involved with “fun”.
What suffering? What are you talking about? Unethical sourcing of materials for consumer electronics??
I mean sometimes you want to just zone out and play something dumb. You don’t get any gamer credibility but nothing wrong with having fun.
Your “just have fun” stance ensures companies make poor quality experiences because people will still buy it. The capitalist love people that just want to zone out.
I understand your point but that feels a bit like a zero sum game.
If people like zone out action games, and those games are made and sell reasonably well, and people enjoy them… Isn’t that fine?
Yeah maybe it’s shit quality for the amount of money/talent behind it and it could have been better etc… But that feels a bit like people who play every cod version ever complaining about indie games having “bad graphics” or being too hard etc. They’re different games for different audiences.
Yes, because has Sony released so many successful first party games in 2026…
Lol I had to double check because I couldn’t remember any.
We got…
- Marathon
- Saros
- MLB The Show 26
- Marvel Tōken: fighting souls
And this.
Literally no reason to open a PS5 in the big 26’
i haven’t turned mine on at all this year. which reminds me i should at least once a year.
Yeah ours is unplugged and in a cabinet. Haven’t played it since final fantasy rebirth. Now that Revelation is going straight to Steam there isn’t a reason to put in the PS5.
i’m still waiting for naughty dog’s first game this generation. I tried rebirth, but it had been so long that i forgot everything from part 1 and just couldn’t get into it again
I think you’ll be waiting until the PS6. Sony fucked up by putting them on live service instead of TLOU3. Now they scrapped years of work and started something different. Shame shame.
i think so too. But I choose to believe otherwise haha
So glad I canceled my pre-order for this. A three minute quick time event where you don’t have to do a damn thing?! No thanks.
One of the most common sources of alienation for me is seeing what other people, my alleged peers, spend their money on.
Sometimes I wonder what would happen if everyone’s spending habits became like mine. Lot of industries and practices would die.
The bar is really low…
Atleast a new Hideo Kojima game should be coming soon…
Could be an echo effect. 90% of people don’t really pay attention to gaming media or hate trains - they just see a cool new game in stores while most of their attention is elsewhere.
The “echo” element would be that if most of their knowledge of gaming is from playing things, not reading about them, they may decide “Wow, Sony usually makes great stuff, but last one I bought wasn’t great. I may sit this out.” I sort of saw that with Assassin’s Creed Unity / Syndicate. Unity was shitty and released with terrible bugs, but Syndicate was sort of okay - and Syndicate was the one that saw lots of lost sales.
The level of comments here is no better than Reddit.
gamer culture is toxic as fuck.
yet another reason why I stopped playing multiplayer games.
wow…shocking
well, not that shocking…
Cattle
Proof that gamers have no spine (once again. See also Switch 2 and PS5 sales) and that online discourse holds no prediction of real world value.
You think this id a good number? One of the reasons Sony dropped Kojima is supposedly that DS2 “only” sold 2M.
Spine for what?
Seems like an alright $5 buy down the road.
Gotta save your money for the Stream Frame brudda. Every dollar counts 💀
Use the steam frame to pretend you have a home lab
