People against Sony’s decision forget that it’s mostly made in regards to these games often featuring uncomfortably young looking characters in very suggestive situations, sometimes even looking prepubescent. This is aimed at getting rid of that, which is a perfectly reasonable thing to want to ban imo. Maybe their…

I know a lot of people say it can’t hold up to other BR games, but as someone who was never sold on the genre as a standalone experience, I’m loving it as an alternative gamemode in Battlefield. It fits surprisingly well, reminding me of the scavenger mode from the Aftermath expansion in Battlefield 3 but on a much,…

Yes, remakes of BF2 maps in BF3 are also excluded for the same reason I think

the Close Quarters expansion maps were so small that it’s not really worth comparing, according to the guy putting this together.

They don’t need to police everything. Crowdsourcing reports by allowing users to report off topic or otherwise bad reviews would filter them down very quickly, especially for larger games. Automation can flag a review bomb and then a small team spends a day cleaning that up, but after that it can go back to user…

User reported reviews + close moderation when review bombs are detected seems like a reasonable approach. When the review score affects the overall rating of the game, I do think they should be removed as the negative review is not based on the game’s content itself and doesn’t fairly represent the game. Valve itself…

There’s several other sites that let you review media that delete off topic reviews and ban users from reviewing in the future. I think that would be a far more effective deterrent to review bombings. You’re probably right that its coincidence but it still is awfully convenient for Valve to allow the reviews to stand w…

The cynic in me thinks valve doesn’t hide the reviews just because it is all negative about their competitor

Borderlands Remastered, Battlefield V. i don’t have a whole lot of time for gaming though what with graduation rapidly approaching and the need to find a job becoming very real...

This is about as inoffensive as microtransactions can get tbh. If this funds more content in the next couple years, I’m glad it is in the game.

Now they just need to hurry up and get us some new maps.

As someone just entering the process of sending out resumes to a bunch of AAA studios, your articles scare the living shit out of me. I sometimes feel I have no idea what I’m getting in to other than hearsay from professors and internet comments, but these articles bring to light much needed humanization to the…

It sounds like a repeat of Destiny 1 in many ways. I really hope they can successfuly turn it around the way Bungie did. It sounds like they are on the right track, but onky time will tell.

They’ve been giving out VR titles occasionally separately from the monthly lineup. RIGS was one of them, and there were a couple more I’m forgetting.

That whole stream was super underwhelming honestly. Some cool looking stuff for VR but Sony really isn’t giving us a whole lot to be excited about besides the same four main titles they’ve been talking about for the last year and a half.

Maybe in the future, if we have a future where low-latency, high speed internet actually is accessible to most people without a significant increase in cost. With how the ISPs & the FCC is trying their damnedest to prevent that from happening, I’m not convinced it will happen within the next decade or two. For those…

Sony has been oddly silent for a while now. I’m glad we have an idea of when they’re finally gonna show off something new. I’ve been worried they’re gonna fall behind again ever since the lackluster E3 and PSX presentations. With all the recent news about Stadia, Xbox and Nintendo teaming up, Quantic Dream going PC,…

I did not expect a Flipper reference from Kotaku, but I welcome it

Fuck american healthcare lmao

The PS4s install process requires a lot of extra memory for temporary data. Could be that the download is smaller but you need 90 GB free for the system to allow you to download it.

100% this. Game sizes are just increasing according to the hardware that suppirts them. Its the IPSs that actively prevent progress from happening. We have this same issue at the end of all console life cycles.
