Sony hate thread

[IDanceonTrannyGraves]

There were Yakuza games on Wii U. They're just not on Switch because I guess Sega doesn't expect them to do well, they must've performed poorly there because they never even left Japan.

From what I know, they bombed.

 

[Super Hans v2]

Recently, not just one, but a pair of games were announced to join the ever-shortening list of Sony developed and published games exclusive to their own consoles.

Stay losing, Sony Ponies.

I wanted to like Tomba but I just couldn't get into it. He controls weird and looks like a retard when he jumps.

I don't think a crash will "save" them as much as "drag the others down with them." Of course, that may be acceptable terms for Sony at this point.

I think they are gunning for those "Fink Kike" shekels that will be printed in the quadrillions instead of trillions when the Rothschild economy finally goes. The collapse is an excuse for even more printed D.I.E. fiat to be divvied out to "good boy companies".

Does anyone have personal IRL anecdotes of Snoys? Perhaps you're friends with or are related to them?

I grew up in a Snoy household. To be fair, it started with the PS1. We went into the PS2 era, then the PS3. My father then sold the PS3 because he got on a weird anti-gaming kicker since he's of the schizo-Christian variety. But he eventually got the PS4, the PS4 Pro, the PSVR, and now he has the PS5. He even bought that Portal despite repeat warnings that it's a rip-off.

The funniest part about it is that he's ashamed of it? Instead of conceding that the PlayStation platform sucks now but he likes it anyway, or just admitting he doesn't want to put the time into PC gaming, he makes constant excuses to me unprompted about how he's just "so used to it," and "I can't use the Steamdeck 'cause I read it uses Linux," and "a computer would be way too complicated to learn," so on, so on.

My husband's best friend, on the otherhand, is insufferably Sony-poisoned. He's an intelligent guy otherwise, but he has these bizarre, childish hangups about gaming that he refuses to move on from despite being over 30.

He told my husband he'd never build a gaming PC because "that's what elitists do," and that his non-gaming laptop is perfectly sufficient. People like him limit themselves pointlessly over 2000s-2010s online discourse, and it's so cringe it gives me an icy feeling. How can you take an ideological stance against an open platform like PC while shrugging off the endless parade of anti-consumerist bullshit Sony has pulled? It makes no sense.

I think they've been brainwashed by PlayStation winning the console war against Xbox that one time, so they choose to believe it's the absolute best way to play, and PC gamers are just assholes who only play low-brow FPSs.

 

[oh no its pipkun]

You've nailed it. The industry screwed up by rushing 4k, because it added another tier to the low, medium, high, ultra tiers of a PC. You can now play 1080p games with ultra settings and bells and whistles for the price of a PS5. If you choose to not want 4k or RT (which add nothing to a game) your prebuilt PC or Laptop can be dirt fucking cheap. (its what I've done)

very few games benefit gameplay wise from 4k. the autistic world of milsims is the only thing that comes to mind because figuring out of specks in the distance are an enemy or a foilage can win a battle. cant even play the shit with a controller

An ex-coworker of mine is insufferably proud of how much money he's pissed away buying his PS5, the couple games available for it (collector's editions of course) and additional figurines and models he's bought or built for some of the games.

I suppose he's more of a consoomer than just a snoy, but he did always bristle whenever I took swipes at how useless, expensive or gameless the PS5 was. Or when I reminded him I'm a better engineer than he is by explaining the intricacies of what made the PS3 such an impressive piece of hardware that all the inbreds in the gaming industry couldn't wrap their heads around. He couldn't either.

I still maintain Sony fucked up by prematurely killing the PS3 and refusing to carry on with powerful and distinctive architectures. Weed out the shitty devs who can't grok it and cultivate people who can. It keeps the actual talent in-house (or at least focused on your dev kits instead of the competition's) and leads to better games. Throwing cheap PC parts in a case was such a fuckup by Microsoft and Sony these past couple generations.

We've always had PS2s in the house because they were cheap DVD players at the time. Everybody knew what a Sony PlayStation 2 was. Sony TVs, Sony Walkmans, Sony radios, Sony was THE brand to have in the 2000s. PSPs were what the "cool kids" had back in the day.

Everyone I knew had the Xbox 360 because Sony shat the bed with the PS3 (and Xbox had Halo when that meant something), when Microsoft shat the bed with the Xbone me and my more tech-literate friends finally decided to join the PC master race whereas some of my other friends jumped on the PS4 but I hardly consider them Snoys because they didn't play any of the third-person cinematic slop exclusives and just stuck to COD, Madden, etc. Last I spoke to them they hadn't bothered to upgrade to the PS5, but that was around the Covid scarcity so perhaps they've continued on.

Recently, not just one, but a pair of games were announced to join the ever-shortening list of Sony developed and published games exclusive to their own consoles.

Stay losing, Sony Ponies.

The only one I (and many others) really want is bloodborne, I refuse to buy a PS4 just to play it.

that's just basic-bitch consumerism, you can see that everywhere, it's not limited to sony. it's that shitty "lifestyle brand" thing about turning "customers" into "fanatics". like people bitching about windows but keep using it, bitching about warhammer and GW prices but keep buying...

in one word: niggercattle.

not worth it. not only would you have to pay qualified people to design your hardware, then pay to produce your own hardware, than pay qualified devs to support that hardware, it all cuts into profits.

think about all the classic exclusives, it doesn't matter which hardware they run on if the game was limited to a single platform for business reasons. hardware isn't the reason either that microsoft has fuckall exclusives and the few it has suck ass. sony isn't much better, even if it were running on cell 3 by now...

 

[Whoopsie Daisy]

It is though.

So I’ve been watching videos about this Concord thing and besides the woke shit I’m just stunned. Like why did Sony buy a whole ass company before they even finished what has to be a very expensive project, that we all know isn’t making its money back. But my biggest confusion is if Sony is so dead set on trying to suck the live service cock how are they so retarded as to not use fan favorite franchises. Like are they so retarded that they really think fat, ugly brown people and gay robots will sell better than fucking Killzone or something? (Obviously don’t answer that we all know they are that retarded but it’s crazy how retarded they keep getting). It wouldn’t even be hard to come up with a setup that works in universe if you wanted to have story elements and an overarching narrative.

When’s the fucking breaking point? I mean Blackrock can only have so much money, especially since every company is trying to get a piece and retards and niggers can only hold you up for so long. Like when’s it just end? Is it ever going to end?

I always love hearing how things were in other peoples lives

The first kid who had a PSP in my high school was this huge nerdy dude who got caught with some kind of extreme hentai on it, and it pretty much soured everyone on the thing.

Up through the mid 2010s, I only knew two people who had an Xbox. I always thought it was a Dreamcast-level flop before learning it outsold the fucking Gamecube.

Man that’s crazy because that’s the exact opposite where I grew up. Everybody had a Xbox and I only knew of one person with a PS3. Most people I knew thought it was like a super expensive piece of tech you didn’t even classify as a game system. Until the relaunch they did with the slim model I genuinely would’ve classed the PS3 in the same category as the LaserDisc Player lol.

Oh, I meant the original Xbox; plenty of people around me had a 360. Ironically, I was the only person I knew who had a PS3 because my family got one as a Blu-ray player.

 

[DocAwe]

OG Xbox wasn't popular around here till the hax started coming.

At this point you can get a used PS4 for the cost of a Bluetooth speaker. People saying how they refuse to buy a console just to play one game they really want to play sounds like virtue signaling.

 

[Leaf Wage Slave Jr]

I’ve said it before - I regret buying my PS5. Even ignoring how most of it’s use has been playing PS4 games because there’s nothing fucking for it, the chief reason I even bought the damn thing was because by the time I did buy one was around the point where Last Gen titles usually stopped being made. That hasn’t stopped - this entire Console Gen feels more and more like a Tank Job than anything else (ex. if the sales for consoles were as high as people claim, we wouldn’t still need Last Gen versions to help make up the budget, and those have also bloated to the point of parody but that’s another rant).

At least prebuilt PC’s that can actually run Modern Vidya have slowly gotten affordable enough. It doesn’t beat a custom build, but at this point I just want to play Vidya that doesn’t suck - that sure as hell isn’t Modern Vidya.

I'd argue it's more of a convenience thing. It's a hassle to setup a console for only one game and have to keep switching between it and your primary gaming platform.

It also runs its exclusives like shit.
