It seems that people just had to dig through Sony's E3 show, that two hour-long master class in marketing brilliance, and find something to complain about.
What they've picked up on is the fact that with the PlayStation 4, if you want to play online and use those expensive servers that Sony spends the GDP of your typical African nation on maintaining each year, you're going to need to buy PlayStation Plus."
Lam is among the 120 characters available for recruitment in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. While she is one of the many straightforward recruits, a known bug may prevent players from recruiting her if certain conditions are met. Despite developers’ assurances of fixing the bug, some early access players still encounter issues with recruiting Lam despite attempting the standard method.
Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered players are ticked off by the game’s most recent patch, which censors in-game pin-up posters of Lara Croft.
This is why gaming is screwed. When people change things to fit someone’s agenda, it’s a slippery slope downhill.
tbh I dont see something like this as censorship. Does anyone else not find it strange for someone to stick pin ups of themsleves in a locker room?
Now of it was a pin up of some half naked firefighters it might make sense as Lara might like that, and if they removed that I would cry censorship. But removing pin ups of the main character, yeah I get it.
By the year 2030, this remaster collection will totally be changed and censored. Probably will remove Lara as a playable character. It's ridiculous. Glad that my family didn't buy this.
I still have Tomb Raider 2 PS1 as a memory.
It’s mentioned in the article, and it’s a point i 100% agree with, it’s the fact that they can censor a game after you buy it. That’s total bullshit.
Whilst it's an overreaction to say this has "ruined" the game, it's still problematic that this has happened post launch and for many, post-purchase.
I don't want someone to change a product for the worse after I've bought it. The same goes for implementing micro transactions after reviews.
I wonder why they did this? Nobody was kicking up a fuss as far as I'm aware.
Gary Green said: In a time where an enhanced, 3D remake of Final Fantasy III already exists, it’s hard to argue that Final Fantasy III Pixel Remaster is the definitive version we were expecting. With Final Fantasy III already being the last in the series to be translated and make its way west, this is something of a slap in the face for the fans. Still, let’s not be disheartened. There may be many shortfalls in this edition of Final Fantasy III, however there’s no denying that this classic JRPG still holds some nostalgic value, even if it struggles to break away from its original hardware limitations.
It’s funny I’m seeing these articles about pixel remaster, and I just platinumed 1-4 within 8 days lol. I’ve been on FF5 for about a week now. Let’s just say 5 was the start of FF having content like crazy. I should have the plat within 2-3 days.
The game being an accurate represantation of the original was not a slap in the face to the fans. The 3D remasters looked like ass (visually) tbh.

Well how come there are no charges to play online on the PC then?
Sony charging for online pay is a definite step backward, no amount of good reasons for PS+ can justify having online play only limited to PS+. PS+ may work for some, for others they simply may not want it. Its kind of become mandatory now to have PS+ since online is such a large component of games these days. Its almost like Sony shoving PS+ down people throats.
Server maintenance charges is no excuse if that was the case we would have been paying online charges on the PC a long time ago.
I don't blame Sony for charging for online the thing I find funny how its suddenly fine to pay for online by most Sony fans.
They try and justify it by saying they get free games or worse it don't matter because they are already paying for PSN plus.
lol you can't make it up.
Most of the time multiplayer is peer to peer, why pay for something when you are not going through sonys servers? On the other hand ps+ is awesome, I can't find the time to play all the games they hand out. Though that model works for them too because of game exposure and thus increased dlc sales, I mean after going through batman, how can you not go and get all the dlc?
I don't like the paid online, but at the same time they have cleverly made me accustomed to paying it, by using the tactic "progressive overload" they are a business. Let's never forget that and they have played things masterfully.
Unlike MS which has just thrown the dog out in the cold.
JT already confirmed that the online subs will go toward improving the infrastructure, so I'm all for it. I had every intention on remaining a member of PS+ anyhow. I think most people that are shying away are very uninformed. If it truly was JUST to play online, then I'd have a problem.
Because it's required for online play.
