As an artist, I get it... but this is real dumb. If you’re tattooing a public figure, particularly one whose likeness can be found on any number of memorabilia and media, there can be no expectation that your work will not be recreated at some point. It could be surmised that she worked on him with the expectation…

It’s funny how what you wrote got me more interested in playing it than any of the media they have released so far. 

I don’t know... if it’s anything like the boot up for the X , it’s going to be obnoxiously loud in comparison to everything else. If I play my X1X at night, just for boot up, I have to turn the surround way down, because it wakes my roommates.

I’m only going to disagree in that it may not be something that your current skill set can accomplish with digital painting, but there is some truly phenomenally skilled artists out there that can bring that quality in their digital work.

I just don’t think cross play came around early enough to be a factor for SF5 ending up on xbox, and that is ignoring that development of SF5 was originally funded by Sony so it would be exclusive.

How did TWRP’s album not make the cut?

Certainly wouldn’t hurt... I’m just not sure how much a fighting game, or at least a single fighting game, is going to move the needle. The audience is dedicated, but not super huge. Also with cross play being a thing, I doubt it would make sense for Capcom to go exclusive this time around.

Isn’t it about time to replace Persona 5 with Persona 5 Royal?

Holy Shit! That was official art? I saw it on Twitter this morning and thought it was some one being clever.

It’s going to be difficult for them, but I do think that this is probably their best opportunity. Looking at their past efforts to break into the Japanese market, it’s not like they were making dumb moves and sitting there scratching their heads wondering how it all went wrong. They actually made pretty decent moves…

I’m surprised that all of these retailers, even Microsoft with all the money they are blowing on studios, put zero effort into a system to stymie bots and scalpers or the infrastructure to get it done. It really seems like it shouldn’t be that difficult.

Actually this can be stopped, or at least managed. Ticketmaster figured out how to curb it.

THE GUNK!!!!!

I agree, there is entirely too much trust given to companies. I think you can trust a company for certain things, but that should NEVER EVER be when a company is making a PR.marketing push. I trust Sony in that they have a pretty long history of making games that I like to play, their monetization is rarely scummy,…

I don’t know about the other retailers, but after I got my order in, I tried to get one for my friend who has fallen asleep, and it said that it it was unavailable to me because I already purchased the max allowance. That might not be the case for other retailers that allow purchases under guest accounts.

Oof. Ori strugged on the Xbox sometimes. Hopefully the port is better.

That always is the issue, but I will say that this is the only time where every retailer has had a 1 per customer limitation.

Eh... I don’t know about that. This isn’t first console launch any of those sites have seen, I think what worked against it yesterday is that rather than waiting for today, they all put their sales up whenever they felt like it. So when one place put up their sales, EVERYONE flocked to that site, causing traffic proble…

I agree that it is difficult to justify not doing that.

“I was personally glued to Twitter for alerts, but no matter where the PlayStation 5 popped up, the next-generation system almost immediately sold out.”
