Sony hate thread

[Jarch6]

The average normalfag is too retarded to even figure out how to buy a steamdeck, let alone actually use one. At best, they'll see some shitty ROG or Lenovo at the store, impulse buy it on credit, fiddle with it for maybe 20 minutes before giving up, and place it on some display shelf to show off to their 2 viewers on twitch while they play normalfag AAA competitive shooter live service slop #4731 on their ps5.

Funnily enough, with the more recent generations of consoles a lot of the convenience (put the disk/cartridge in and play right away, no account tomfoolery to setup, minimal storage management, etc.) has been eroded. While I think steam desktop proper is still too complicated for a large swath of the normalniggers, the big picture mode on the steam deck seems to be sufficiently easy to understand that it could rightfully appeal to that demographic. What's holding it back is that many of the most popular releases are too demanding and/or have DRM which doesn't function with Linux. A return of the Steam Machine could further push Valve into the console space, with the increased functionality of Proton making it an actually viable product, but given the failure from their initial foray I imagine they're wary to give it another go.

Also, I predict Marathon will flop (albeit not to the same, pitiful, degree as Concord): Overfilled genre, unappealing visuals (I guess they tried making it look like a closet full of sneakers to appeal to niggers and other urbans?), and a studio that has burned its reputation with how its handled its prior game.

I think Valve can influence(bribe) the anticheat makers to work on Linux to bring the AAA gacha to the steam box.

The anti-cheat shit works because it's deeply invasive into the OS. Windows is swiss cheese with a door, and I dunno whose dicks were sucked to convince Apple to allow that kind of intrusion into the MacOS kernel, but achieving the same all-encompassing snooping and under-the-hood intrusion these ridiculous anti-cheats need on the Linux kernel is a different challenge (namely, it's open-source and even if they just do the "ship binary blobs and don't let anybody peek at it!" shtick people can still poke around). Not to mention "allowing userland software to intrude unfettered on all system processes" is antithetical to Linux' intended purpose and design.

Valve doesn't just have to bribe the incompetent boobs making that garbage -- they have to convince users they're still trustworthy even after allowing game publishers to install rootkits on their previously-secure Linux game console.

Also anti-cheat, for the most part, makes games run worse than they are supposed to, ontop of whatever bugs they come with. DENUVO is a perfect example of that. That, and what was listed above is why Anti-cheat in general is frowned upon by the gaming community at large.

I agree that savvy users don’t like anti-cheats (and anti-piracies in particular) for the aforementioned but if valve wants to appeal to the normalfag crowd - who just wants to play these games - they’ll have to find a way to get the anti-cheats to work or convince developers to do without them (both impasses seem quite difficult to overcome). And, to play devils advocate, it seems that invasive anti cheats work (from what I understand about games like Valorant) and the competitive nature of modern multiplayer games really demands such measures. Also, if we suppose that such hypothetical steam machines are only used for gaming, I don’t see why one would care about the invasiveness of anti-cheats (in the same way one doesn’t for consoles).

 

[Bog-standard Poster]

How about just removing anti-cheat? Having anti-cheat in a single player game is pretty stupid.
For multi-player games, Valve should push for Private servers with vote-to-kick and all of the old-school CS servers.

Now now, allowing individual users to host their own private servers cuts deeply into that juicy microtransaction and battle pass revenue! Tut tut!

 

[iHuman]

I honestly can't even remember when was the last time I downloaded a game from the PS plus monthly games...every month I check out the list, and every month I am disappointed, so I will just cancel my subscription.

And that's why they should do it. Fuck the status quo of pushing MTX and FOMO on nigger cattle, shovelling over money to keep the industry's pockets lined.

I really, really hope GabeN crashes the industry with only Steam as a survivor, sheds the shitty practices and rebuilds it.

Titanfall was on 360 (genuine fucking miracle that even happened), and yeah people forget about the Xbone having alright launch titles because everyone was obsessed with the whole used game DRM thing.

Xbox had a way better starting lineup from my memory, Titanfall, Dead Rising 3, Killer Instinct, Ryse: Son of Rome (moveslop thouhgbiet) Sunset Overdrice. Its just that after that alright launched there was absolutely nothing, MCC didnt work, Halo 5 killed the franchise, Gears 4 and 5 are mid as hell and nobody gave a shit about Halo Wars 2 or Crackdown 3. Meanwhile PS started weak but ended up having a much stronger lineup of what could be considered must have exclusives (before they came to pc)

Ryse: Son of Rome (moveslop thouhgbiet)

I hate that “slop” has become Current Year synonym #536 for “thing I don’t like”. It used to have a very specific meaning.

Ryse was slop. Slop started with that generation, mainly with the shite that MS pushed out. I had the misfortune of playing Crackdown 3, as I liked 1 and 2, and it was fucking terrible.

The Xbox One didn't get good until the X1X, which is a fantastic console. But, just like the end of the 360 gen, Microsoft decided to be retarded rather than making a new console. The X1X - which most don't know is a different internals compared to the Xbox One, it isn't just a pro version but a complete redesign, had an SSD and better CPU, Microsoft could have released it as a new gen and fucked Sony.
The XSX could have released on schedule, without the pointless XSS, as the X1X would have been the XSS but three years earlier.

Its literally a movie game filled with QTEshit that was middling and unremarkable by every metric. Is so indistinguishable that you really couldn't differentiate from any of the other movie games of the 8th generation like The Order: 1886 or Hellblade.

I hope GoW: E-Day is good, but it generally feels like first-party IPs across both platforms took a severe beating in these last two console generations.

I think some Sony boss said the PS5 was going to appeal more to the gays and...well, it sure did, at the expense of everything else.

 

[chincel]

Shame the second one is the best game in the series if you don’t like jank or terrible Fortnite tier writing. Killing zombies isn’t the same as taking down gangs.

Both CuckBox and GayStation 5 are trying to appeal to low test losers which is why everything is neutered and gay looking like Hyenas/Concord/Marathon/FairGame$ and nothing has the cool military sci-fi aesthetic like Killzone/Gears of War. Even something like Doom that was supposed to be gritty has morphed into cartoony brightly colored pixar zogchow. I really hope E-Day capture the old grit of the series and the subject matter warrants that but I wouldn't be surprised if ended up getting Fortnite-tified...

The first Crackdown game was great precisely because it was just a bunch of weak ass humans. The challenge came from the sheer amount of humans and the insane arsenal they had, but they all still died like humans. Even the bosses died extremely fast.
All other superhero sandbox games would introduce stronger enemies as the game progressed to counter your increase in strength. Hulk, Prototype, Infamous, they all did that. Crackdown on the other hand never made anyone but yourself special, and that was cool as fuck.

When they announced Crackdown 2 in 2009 and showed it would feature zombies and "strong zombies" I immediately zone out, because the series was losing the one thing that made it unique. And to this day I have only played the first game.

Sony has heard us, and they're releasing a glorified mod next week. Isn't that good enough for you?

Too bad, you're going to get Horizon 3 instead, because the only games Sony want to make nowadays are ones that are led by uncharismatic lesbians. Also that Horizon VR where whenever Aloy is not on screen, all the other characters need to ask, "Where's Aloy?"

I also really want Days Gone 2
