No assumptions at all, I’m confident I’m a bigger PS fan than yourself.

I am critical of Sony because of my sizable investment in their hardware and ecosystem - just because I own something doesn’t mean I’ll pretend it’s perfect - if anything I’m more likely to be critical of the bad parts.

Do I think Xbox do some things better? Sure, game pass is an example of that. But PS does a lot of things better than Xbox, see exclusives for example

You can disagree all you want - PS is my primary gaming platform and I own multiple PS4’s and PS5’s, heck I probably have more PS stuff than yourself.

As for my comment history, I enjoy good games regardless of the company, I also don’t believe any company is perfect and frankly, when I’ve invested thousands of dollars in hardware alone - I reserve the right to criticize when they do bad and praise when they do good :) you’ll find both in my comments for all companies.

There was quite some hype to it pre-release, and the game looked decent in the footage shown before the game (and console) launched. I expected it to be decent.

"real Playstation fans love Sony's exclusives and don't mind supporting the best devs in the industry by buying their games"

I was disappointed with it, granted we weren't exactly swimming in games at launch, but it just didn't live up to the hype. Perhaps it's not a bad deal if its 'free'.

Unfortunately PSNow is no where near what GamePass is today in terms of the service offerings or value. I want (and expect) more from Sony in this area.

I've said it time and time before, but I would love to have a PS GP equivalent on my PS5 and would sub day 1.

MS is the best game here, Godfall is pretty weak - but was always destined to be a PS+ game to be honest.

Xbox should just kill GWG and push people towards Game Pass. GP is miles better, and we all know that's what they want to do mid-longer term anyway. And PS should double down and launch a serious GP competitor.

Right now basically;

Subscriptions Overall: GP > PS+ > GWG and PSNow (joint last)
By service type: GP &g...

GWG is on life support at this point.

This is a very weak month though, poor games.

Agreed, but this is one of those bad months.

They've done a great job on this, 343 have finally cracked the Halo formula.

If this turns out to be accurate, this is a pretty weak month for PS+, GWG levels of weak.

Mortal Shell is the only one worth playing.

GWG continues to be on life support. Just put it out of its misery and tell people to get game pass.

Ah that makes sense. I mean in my head I can’t think of much capcom did this year beyond RE and yes RE village was a good game but not the best game on any platform :p

@dbcoops Okay well if it’s an insult I guess I insulted both of us since I said neither of us are even remotely close to being qualified for their roles.

“ I said they weren't solely responsible for anything you listed”

Which is normal… games and games consoles are made by hundreds, if not thousands of people. No one person is responsible for anything unless it’s a one man indie studio.

Mark Cerny isn’t single-handedly responsible f...

Okay so the Avengers Spider-Man DLC sucks, not a huge surprise given the base game sucked too.

Why would that mean we should never have another exclusive anything? We’ve had low quality exclusive games and DLC in the past and we’ll have it again in the future.

1670d ago 0 agree1 disagreeView comment

Some weird decisions in there for sure. Capcom is studio of the year? And RE Village as the best PS game?

Bully 2, LA Noire 2, Manhunt 3.

@dbcoops They both lead their respective departments - are you suggesting they don’t lead them on a day to day basis and are actually just put on show when conference season comes around because they’re female? 🤦‍♂️

Of course they are not solely responsible for game pass or back compat - no one is solely responsible for anything at a corporation - they lead teams. Do you think Jim Ryan or Mark Cerny are solely responsible for the PS5? Or that Reggie was solely respo...

+1 and add in The Getaway.

Unfortunately that isn’t the case a lot of the time though. In this industry I’ve seen countless qualified, high performing females be passed up on promos or roles for what I’d consider a lesser male candidate.

Just look how many high up staff are male? The ratio of male to female is high and clearly there are enough qualified females that that shouldn’t be the case.

@dbcoops Because they’re qualified - Sarah Bond has done a great job getting good content onto GamePass and as for Peggy Lo, back compat is awesome and is unrivaled in the industry.

Bonnie Ross? Well despite some missteps it appears 343 is onto a winner with Infinite.

Now how much impact do they have on a day to day basis? I don’t know but typically bad leadership = bad outcomes.

Also, they’re clearly more qualified than you and have n...

@Sully I have a feeling the females on the receiving end of the treatment (if true) may disagree with you.

@Darkborn How is this a rumor or random leak? This articles source is a court document from the lawsuit that has been filed… that doesn’t mean Sony are guilty but it does mean that Sony being accused and the existence of the lawsuit are not “rumors”.

This whole tin foil hat theory about how the media is out to get PlayStation is becoming old. PlaySta...
