Sony hate thread

[Baraka Obama]

I actually rather enjoy writing about and reading what others have to say on about otherwise underrated games, including the Sony kusoge flops.

For example, people like to dunk on Blue Reflection but both games are super charming and solid, if easy, RPGs. But I'm not going to pretend that if only people gave the yuri high school dating rpg a chance then somehow a 3rd Blue Reflection would become this genre defining experience.

that's the default since videogames are mainstream, if not earlier

A: GAME IS SHIT
B: dunno, looks fun, did you play it?
A: DON'T HAVE TO, IT'S SHIT

gee, thanks for the informed opinion. I got a mate who has the retarded habit to regurgitate basically verbatim what's /v/ approved or not, which can be infuriating.

I once did exactly this with Nier. Then I played it and never have I had that attitude since.

red flag right there. you make a single game first with options to build upon IF it is successful, not a cliffhanger. that's like trying to build an e-sport game from the ground up...

That has been the pattern. Advent Rising, The Order and Too Human all fell for it. All three games were different from what launched at the time.

B: "well you should really give it a try"
A: "Okay, I will."
>A plays it for an hour
A: "I was right, it's shit."
B: "you only played it for an hour tho. it gets better later on after you unlock the smoogamagooble"
A: "How long does that take?"
B: "you get it about 5 hours in"
A: "Look, the game didn't look good at all on the outset, and after an hour's worth of play, it hasn't grabbed me at all. I'm going to request a refund."
B: "you barely touched the game and you're already giving up?"
A: "Psh, fine. I guess I can afford it. I'll play it up to where I get the smoogamagooble and see if it gets any better."
>A plays it for four more hours
A: "I got the smoogamagooble. It's just a clone of the Gravity Gun from Half-Life 2."
B: "yeah but its awesome"
A: "Dude, it's just a clone of the Gravity Gun. That's literally all it is. I played that twenty years ago."
B: "well keep going, you got the smoogamagooble and now the whole worlds open up to you"
A: "Why would I wanna keep playing this piece of shit with a boring world where the big important thing I get after a long time in is just a knockoff of something from 20 years ago? Dude, I've had enough, I'm uninstalling it."
B: "well if you dont even have the patience to see the game through then you cant form an opinion. you should really finish your games before talking shit. trust me it only gets better from here"
A: "I've wasted five hours of my life playing something I haven't enjoyed in the slightest, and I'm out $70. Dude, I've got other things to do in my life. I've got a billion other unplayed games. I'm done with this shit. I'm marketing it as hidden and moving on."
B: "lol, filtered"
A: "Man, you are a special kind of retarded."
B: "not as retarded as a guy who wastes $70 and five hours of his life on something he doesnt even like, lmao"

 

[whatever I feel like]

B: "you get it about 5 hours in"

In the Order's "defense" that is enough to experience and judge the whole game.

I'd rather play The Order than either Last of Us game

You want a one second electric shock more than a five second one? In fairness I'd agree with you. I'd rather have an okay 3 hours shooting the five werewolves you meet than 40 hours of oh so deep "they're not really zombies bro, the real monsters are other people bro" bullshit that TLOU seems to be selling. But my actual choice is various highly reviewed games that give me both quality and quantity or cheap shit on the eshop. So yeah, since the Order is dirt cheap it can be worth your time if thats the type of game you like. That doesn't mean it was worth its original intended price and it doesn't mean that I'm going to call it a good game that was treated unfairly.

 

[Baraka Obama]

I wish they'd make actually experimental shit like Echoshift or Tokyo Jungle again.

The result of the success of the Uncharted series has been for them to only chase after big budget cinematic snoozefests.

This is how I felt when playing BG3 and GFL Thanks for reminding me.

 

[SSj_Ness (Yiffed)]

I'd argue that The Order: 1886 was Sony's last "non-woke" game. All White people, historically accurate setting, no pandering, full frontal female nudity. Fight me.

No, The Last Guardian, Gravity Rush 2, and I assume Knack 2, they came out after it.

I also guess there's no way to make sports and racing games woke, right...? Unless they have rainbow car decals and shit, which wouldn't surprise me because you aren't allowed to go 2 seconds without pledging allegiance to the fag.

I'd rather play The Order than either Last of Us game

I'd rather play with a cactus using my dick than play TLOU series.

Knack

After 11 years I'm still amused that Sony let this piece of shit release.

The main monster character thing looks like absolute shit, that was enough for me to dismiss it.

There's always some way.

 

[Super Hans v2]

I'd argue that The Order: 1886 was Sony's last "non-woke" game.

And I would argue Days Gone

-White MC has a relatively attractive White wife.
-The Militia Movement-type camp leader ends up being right about everything
-The most stable camp is the run the most undemocratically
-One half of the lesbian couple is more than happy to dump her negress partner at the drop of a hat for the MC, but he stays true to his wedding vows made before God
-Main antagonists are Feds, as are the ones set up for in the cancelled sequel

I wish they'd make actually experimental shit like Echoshift or Tokyo Jungle again.

The result of the success of the Uncharted series has been for them to only chase after big budget cinematic snoozefests.

The demand for movie games really had the adverse effect of filling all the Sony game studios with, well, people who want to make movies. The constant need to "push the medium" (which really just translates to making it feel more like a movie) and be "industry leading" (which just translates to looking life like, therefore more like a movie) is really nauseating. It's impressive sure but it's hard to do, it takes a long time, and gameplay loop wise the final product really isn't that far removed from the movie tie in game of yore.

Dreams was the last experimental game they made. Maybe not conceptually but definitely in execution. Making your own game is cool if you're into that but the gameplay experience for the general audience ranged from jumping around default Unity engine levels to stumbling upon the works of a basement Vincent Van Gogh with a DualShock 4. It's like getting a DVD filled with ROMs of old, mostly shovelware games. Sometimes you find treasure. Most of the times you don't but digging through it is a experience in itself.

 

[Whoopsie Daisy]

Oh, and were the next games in the series going to be free to play? It was a stand alone title and failed as such. Never played TLOU2 but if the criticism of it that people have is that its "too long" then they can just stop playing when they've had their fill. Thats a bullshit criticism for game journalists who were forced to keep playing as part of their job. Even if it is a valid criticism (its not, put in another disc, retard) its still much less of one than the game being too short where you cannot get more no matter how much you put the same disc in again.

Your logic is that a short game at £60 is too expensive, even if it's a full experience and waiting for a price-drop is out of the question, but a long game at £60 is better because you can stop playing half-way through?

If your idea of a good game is 100 hour fetch-quest with a story so poor that you can stop playing at any moment, leaving you with no lasting memory of the experience of autistically going back and forth for no reason, then your opinions on video games is certainly strange.

all this text for a simple
A: HURR
B: DURR

both are retarded, and with a conversation like that why would they ever talk about videogames to begin with?

and for all that text A is still a twat who can't even say why it's "bad", just that he subjectively doesn't like it. but still spent 70 bucks on it, what is this, the true consolefag experience?

Tokyo Jungle was an incredibly rad concept, and I'd love it if someone took another stab at it. With open world survival games (still) being a huge craze, it would be the perfect time for it too.

 

[TVB]

There's always some way.

But why???

 

[xXx: State of the Union]

I'll be honest, I was always confused why The Last of Us was considered a GOAT game while The Order was considered complete dogshit. They're both pretty similar in my eyes except one has a story tailor made for faggots who didn't have a father growing up.

 

[Adidas Queen]

The Order 1886 was a 60 dollar tech demo for a potentially more interesting game down the line so I understand the hate this game got at release. Angry joe got it right back in the day

I platinumed it last year and it was pretty fun but if I just bought a new console and had nothing else to play I'd be pissed. Wish they powered through the failure and made a sequel though. Most of the tech feels like it got repurposed for the God of War reboot.
