Shhh, that undermines this bizarre narrative that Sony wants to literally kill off Japanese games and the studios that make them.
When you start your review by trying to go after complaints levied by others, you show your hand, man.
They were, more or less.
The studio pre-existed, but they were small, they didn't have the talent pool they had today, and their successes were limited.
The Naughty Dog of today is literally all Sony's cultivation.
Sadly, that can't work as far as Microtransactions go. Most of the money made from them come from a small group of people willing to spend ungodly amounts of money on MTs. So long as THOSE people keep spending, they'll still make money.
Hence why it's a tad dishonest when they play the "You guys keep buying them so we keep doing it" card. Most of their players don't, at least not enough to make them that kind of money. It's the Whales. Unless y...
No, it's really not. There's historical accuracy, and then there's literally just a voice.
That there were "women in combat roles" is a bit irrelevant to historical accuracy as well, given that they were Resistance fighters, not proper soldiers in allied regiments with bionic arms (which were also part of the complaint). They clearly went with an anachronism there and rather than embrace it and go full alternate history, they wanted everyone to just ha...
Claudia Black, who plays Chloe, is from Australia, but Chloe herself is Indian-Australian.
There's a bit of a difference between calling out the historical inaccuracy in a game they claimed was going to be accurate and complaining about the skin color of someone providing a voice.
Because Nadine and Chloe are Black and Indian respectively, yet played by white women. So it's "racist".
I mean look, I'm Native American. I actually LOVED the depiction of them in RDR2 because it wasn't stereotypical. They weren't wild savages who could barely speak English, constantly in buffalo skins and giant headdresses. They were people, people being pushed to the brink, being used and abused on all fronts. It was a very nice, very real, very accurate depiction of the times, and yet never dipped into the harmful stereotypes. Rains Fall and Charles are actually some of my favori...
So by this logic, the Avatar series, despite having done more to get this current generation of youth interested in learning about Asian cultures and how they influenced the show... is heavily racist because they did not make sure the cast was a perfect ethnic match for the characters they played?
...why do I have a feeling the title of the post was edited?
I mean it's not like the last Sony handheld used Carts or anything...
1. Atari was making the Atari Flashback back in 2001, but if you really wanna get technical, the NES classic was an idea taken from the Raspberry Pi retro systems being made.
2. The PS1 controller is basic controller design and they augmented it to be very much its own thing? That's not a ripoff at all.
3. They did not "rip off analog sticks from Nintendo. Like holy crap. Sony even had a dual analog joystick before they ever had the Dual Analog c...
@Marcello
You completely misunderstood and misquoted him. He never once makes any claim as absurd as "the human eye can't see in 4K", he said you need a certain size screen and distance to truly get the benefits and recommends prioritizing monitors with a better refresh rate.
And that's for Desktop PC monitors. Not TVs and Consoles.
And the account they sourced it to seems to have deleted it, so...
Not sure how valid that one is.
Source?
I'm not super fond of Joe either but he does have a good amount of playtime.
@UltraNova
I wouldn't. Strongly dislike MMOs.
I love how Sony patents a game cart and people wanna pretend the Vita didn't use carts and this is entirely because of Nintendo.
God of War and Spider-Man actually sold pretty well. Especially Spider-Man.
