Sony hate thread

[xXx: State of the Union]

Granted I adblock everything, but nobody I know was talking about it other than the people here making fun of the Troon Marine.

I can't tell if I'm just old and adblock a lot or what

These games get talked about and I have no fucking clue what the fuck they are until they already flop.

I swear, the only reason I heard about Fairgames is because Concord (which I never heard of until it released) flopped so everyone started talking about it.

Doubleposting, but here's another guy attempting to defend the PS5 Pro pricing, saying its increased storage and the like justifies it.

I'm probably risking catching some tophats, but I genuinely hope every single journo that has used "BUT MUH INFLATION!" as an excuse for a retarded price gets skinned alive. If a majority of people say the price is too high, than guess what dog, it's too fucking high. It doesn't matter what your faggot nerd CHARTS AND GRAPHS say on the matter. God I want to chokeslam a journo into concrete.

On the very rare occasion that I bother to look up big upcoming games, I typically walk away less excited and more depressed at the absolute state of the industry. There's a lot of value in being blissfully ignorant to the latest hype train.

The gajillion dollar troon that broke the camel's back

When someone mentions flopcord, it's always this fatty, the discount bin space marine sheboon or the tranny with the comically small googles that always get featured. The rest of the cast is just forgetful bland.

My computer took a shit yesterday, and I ordered the parts for a new one I'd been thinking about building for a few months now.

But like before I went to bed last night, I kind of had this thought in my head that I probably shouldn't even bother because I don't honestly give a shit about any upcoming games. I probably should have just bought a Steam Deck or ROG Ally X.

Even accounting for muh inflation, the PS5 Pro + a disc drive is still the most expensive Playstation console of all time while also being the least anticipated. Compare that to Nintendo as someone here posted earlier, and the most expensive console was still only about ~20% above the cheapest, with everything hovering around what would now be the $400 price point, and even that would be pushing it in my opinion.

Who is the target audience for this? Arabian Oil Princes? That would explain why most of the characters in every AAA game's lineup tries to look like a fuckin middle-eastern spud, lately.

You can pay it forward for a whole new build, or just sell them on to another PC builder, with PS5 the only chance for that here is if you have a spare PS5 disc drive or two non-fucked swappable pro controller sticks you can part with for >2 hundo each lol

EDIT: fuck me for doubleposting, won't do it again

If the target audience was Arabian Oil Princes, the characters would be a mix of masculine Muslim men and White female sluts (solely support roles like healing, stat buffing and sexual pleasure). The modest Muslim females are NPCs who are unseen and at home taking care of the house and children of masculine Muslim men.

r34 will be Arabian Oil Princes shitting on the White female sluts.

Thinking on it, you're half right, but a surprising amount of brown men in that region also like their wimmin with willies (check out this poo for example), probably because that's the only sex organ they know about. Aren't Sony et al trying to make inroads in the Middle East? Maybe they should make the PS6 look like a sparkly dildo and just say it's the Burj al Allah.

Maybe some Arabian Kiwis can shed light on the kinks of brown men there. Brown men certainly aren't immune from degeneracy like using goats as sex practice before the real thing and the traditional art of bachi bazi (young boys dancing for the enjoyment of men).

On the other hand, SNK (King of Fighters etc) is basically owned by the Saudis now, which is less pozzed than Street Fighter.

 

[Alex Hogendorp]

The price of the Pro, combined with the increase in price of the slim in Japan, and controllers in general is really making me believe that conspiracy that Concord was a much bigger loss than previously thought.

I don't know what in the mind of these people that think putting "pro" on a poorly made console would get them to win over the crowd. They really must perceive their customers as mindless zombies. They have done the Supreme method and pray their customers will fall for it without doing any research.

I never owned a 9th generation console. I'm more excited over ripping out a hangnail than I am on any new video game release. I've pretty much lost interest in video games.

Also, what if Sony decides to partner up with the US Democratic Party, by saying that the PS5 Pro will include a physical drive, but only if you SAVE DEMOCRACY by voting Kamala Harris into office? Would this somehow get more people to buy it?

You (yes, YOU), would you like a Sony PlayStation 5® PRO? Available now for the low low price of leaving your mail-in ballot at your local Democratic party field office! While supplies last.

ROG Ally X is pretty slick. I got one in June. It runs games surprisingly well and the emulation capabilities are top-notch. Since joining the "Master Race" my consoles have been collecting dust unless I want to screen a 4k Blu-Ray.

Yeah, I literally saw a review of it like 6 hours after I put the order in for all my parts and was like "...shit."

I'm still going to build my PC, but it was still kind of a kick in the nuts lol

From my experience the only people buying these fucking things are 40+yo fathers (or absent fathers) who work like a dog and just want to watch a movie enjoy a video game with minimal friction. They do not care how many terrashits per petafart the console has as long as God of War, etc run on it. They will buy "whatever is the newest one" at BestBuy when their PS5 eventually overheats for literally no reason.

All they want is:
Get home -> sit in your LayZBoy recliner -> hit the weed pen -> play a singleplayer game
(most playstation exclusives reflect this by practically playing themselves or having long ass cutscenes)

Also black people, who will buy it because the sports game of the year will release exclusively on the newest one. I am tempted to believe the console looks like that for this demographic.

13 mins of gameplay by Dunkey. Video ends with Knack made a surprising appearance.
1:14 "Look at that turtle! You can't do that on PlayStation 2, baby."

8 mins of positive takes on Astro Bot by Charlie, while he also highly discourages people to buy PS5 due to its atrocious price.

22 mins of PS5 summaries by Mootahar with stuff we already knew.

Lastly, the article by IGNorant about Astro Bot. You can read the archived article here.

We all heard of the potentially 200-250 million budget but what did that include over that 8 years of dev slog? Did that include the marketing, which is usually stupid expensive? Did that include the price they paid to Blur Studio to include a Concord episode for their upcoming Secret Level anthology show? For what we can tell, they were leaning hard on Concord popping off and becoming a money printer. It's like they thought Helldivers into Concord would be them safely walking across stones in a pond but instead it has become a game of sinkers and floaters from Takeshi's Castle. A huge company like SIE doesn't collapse from 2-4 fuckups. This is just a series of fuckups over the past few years slowly catching up to them all at once.

I made my own estimate using the studio's staffing level asssuming constant pay and some % of contractors from low cost geos, which is fair IMO considering pay isn't constant (way up from my estimate) and staffing levels aren't constant (should have started low), came out to $160mil. Marketing would be another big chunk, conservatively $200mil seems reasonable.

A total loss of $200mil in one quarter plus depreciation of the asset of the studio when they close it will not destroy them overnight but could very well trigger a shareholder revolt.

tbh this seems a lot like "Grass is greener on the other side" kinda thing.
You probably would eventually think that a normal desktop would have been a better choice if it was the other way around, so just enjoy what you got my dude.

One group i would add is the addict-consoomer, ie. the same guy who bought that WiiU PS5 tablet thingy.
These are usually upper middle class bachelors with too little free time (and IQ) to develop any real hobbies but at times surprising spending power who base their personality and dopamine-mining on the purchases of various garbage.
They do not care about value or practical use since they get what they need during the purchase and unboxing of whatever they saw shilled on social media that day.
Same audience that "collects" Funco-pop, Lego, scalped retro hardware and other plastic and e-waste just to post soyjacks on reddit with their newest drug-hit purchase in the background.
This kind of person is replacing their personality with "their brand" and will buy just about anything they can technically afford that exists.
You can tell you are talking to someone like this whenever they get EXTREMELY defensive about "BRAND" like any criticism is a direct personal insult.

One of the best parts of the effemination of men from the corpo (and scalper lol) perspective is that these guys are regularly developing the same shopping addictions that used to be
A) bored housewife problem.
B) considered a mental health issue.
in better days.

However today, this group is the single most milkable consumer group, which will likely pre-order the Pro the moment they can.
