I'm about 80-85% of the way through I think. If you don't like Abby, or you don't understand her, this is on you and not Naughty Dog.

It's pretty damn clear that the motivations of both characters are near-identical. Abby kills her father's murderer. Ellie wants to kill her father figure's murderer. That's reducing it to the most basic level, leaving out the extra justifiable motivation Abby had: Joel single-handedly ruined humanity's chance ...

He was the creative director of the game, you think one single guy wrote it all in isolation?

Also... Genocide? Really? Did you even play this game? Clearly not if you think the entirety of Abby is an attempt at forced-guilt - you missed the *entire point* of the story.

They really upped the graphical detail compared to the first. It's a really lovely game.

There was a moment early on when we're ascending up a snowy part, and the way the light shines through the trees during that scene was one of the prettier moments I've had from the One X.

And then AI-upscaled to 4k. It's already been shown that in certain games DLSS 2.0 4K provides better image quality than native.

I put double the hours into Days Gone that I didn't like but even I didn't think that was pointless.

How do you spend that much time on something so pointless to you? Clearly Druckmann did right to engage you for nearly a full work-week

You're petty

Phil does a congratulations to a competitor and y'all are spinning that into a fanboy war?

Switch lets me play games in my bed, on trips, on planes.
PS5 will let me play the deepest stories with no load times.
XSX will let me play some 20-or-so years of games and more to come in their best quality, and even on PC for their own games day-and-date.

Great times

The Halo Infinite trailers are in-engine and have been analyzed by Digital Foundry. They also examined the PS5 trailers. Don't talk about things being CGI when you clearly don't know what it is

Talent over Power, any day everyday. What Naughty Dog will deliver on PS5 gives me goosebumps. The attention to facial details are beyond anything I've seen before - making those expressions in the mirror in a museum. The grimacing when an enemy is near, teeth gritting when stealth killing, the shivering and squinting in the snow, that it actually looks like lips are connecting when there's kissing. It's so masterfully done.

ODST and Lost Legacy were solid and focused. I like Lost Legacy as much as I do the mainline Uncharted games, and they introduced a hub of sorts in the world like TLOU2 has in Seattle Day 1

It would be weird seeing Cyberpunk 2077 with Series X upgrades previewed right after the delay that pushes it right on the next-gen launch, when all that'll be available then will just be the One X version running at full throttle.

The last thing MS needs to show are third party cross gen titles when they're receiving flak on their own cross gen titles.

For the people who disliked the story, did you play the game with headphones?

Hearing the subtleties of Senua's inner monologue, her self-doubt and deprecations made that game one of my favorites of the gen.

The fact that you're reducing it all to Political Correctness proves that you cannot have a serious conversation on this game. Gay people have existed since straight people first gave birth to them, sorry a little kissy kissy boo boo offends poor little you.

Even after release, some morons are still trying to push the trans narrative? Jeeze. What kind of people do we think are going to survive in the apocalypse? Brittle damsels?

It's 2020 not 2014 - hope for a PS5 Enhanced Patch, not a re-release for us to buy again.

The negative ones, those 0/10s are never from people being genuine.
It's people who spoiled it for themselves watching or reading leaks. People who are entitled thinks it's "their" story that Naughty Dog ruined with wokeness.

But they'll never admit they were flat out wrong about that trans narrative they tried to push.

Yeah, which makes it hard to know if there'll be any consistency from 3rd parties. Xbox has a clearly defined directive from the top to set the example. Based on what it sounds like, I'll assume it won't be functionally different than how Xbox will do it, unless publishers insist on being like EA as the first year moves along

We don't really know how the mechanism will be for PS5, though. Will the PS5 "version" be a unique SKU that's accessible for owners of the PS4 SKU, unlocked through Cross-Buy? Or will it be a PS4 SKU that has a PS5 enhancement just like how it has a PS4 Pro enhancement? Or will it be both depending on publisher, and EA's approach will be what PS owners can expect across the board?

You seem less that you like PlayStation, and more that you just hate Xbox. It comes off as anger, actually, over things you don't even have right.

Gears 5 and Tactics. Ori and the Will of the Wasps - three of their last 5 or so releases, obviously none of these are shovelware.

Only games for the first two years will be cross generational. This policy only impacts early adopters and guess what? The PS5's only real Sony-published exclusive at launch...
