A d*** shame how people act behind a keyboard. And it's a shame that knuckleheads like these have to ruin it for the rest of us that maybe wanted to hear what this guy or anyone in the industry has to say or reveal.

christocolus3712d ago (Edited 3712d ago )

This is so sad and really annoying.

SaveFerris3712d ago

I agree with you guys.

The man makes video games for a living which is awesome because we all love video games. Why does some jerk feel the need to attack the guy and his family?

Dee_913712d ago (Edited 3712d ago )

Oh internet. Killing my faith in humanity ever so often.

"Please respect others and always remember that no matter how much you love a particular game or series, the makers of it are mere humans as well – just like you."

Yea I highly doubt that will change the trolls behaviours.There needs to be more restrictions on twitter at least.Some way for trolls to actually suffer consequences for threats.

insomnium23711d ago

Someone should tweet this article to Anita Sarkeesian. Those misogynistic pigs should pay for harassing....wait WHAT? a man? Sigh.... who cares if a man is treated badly right...?

bleedsoe9mm3712d ago (Edited 3712d ago )

go read some of the hate dan stapelton from ign is getting for writing an article on why he doesn't like BB . i can't imagine what kind of scumbag is threatening sexual violence against a guys wife and daughter , over a video game . its embarrassing to be a gamer sometimes .

jaixvx3712d ago

Knuckleheads huh? more like scum of the earth.

Yeah, some people get in trouble for saying certain things on the Web. The popos needs to Crack down on this stuff definitely if a threat is against a child.

DLConspiracy3712d ago (Edited 3712d ago )

The sad truth about this is that because of these unleashed keyboard cowboys actions they make it more necessary to take away our internet freedoms and privileges. They create a need for stronger policies which end up taking away some of our rights. All because some kid didn't get the attention he needed.

blackblades3712d ago

Know what I seen something on the NG channel called the 10 or 50 things you didn't know series. They said a certain part of the government keeps every tweet ever sent in a secure place for history. So 20 years from now someone can find it and see how f***ed this guy was.

georgenancy3712d ago

Alot of people have reported that low life.

Cool. Wanted to play Hell Let Loose and I always enjoy a good golf game. Mortal Kombat X should have been 11 IMO though.

NoFanBoy1334d ago

HLL seems a bit of a mess on console, I hope it improves but didn't have fun with the beta.

EvertonFC1334d ago

Same was looking fwd to the beta but it was not a great experience

1nsomniac1334d ago

Yea HLL is great on PC but is really hard to enjoy currently on console.

NeoGamer2321334d ago

Ya, I really wanted to play PGA 2K21 but didn't want to pay the price.

Eonjay1334d ago

Agreed. MKX should have been 11. I will play PGA though. Haven't played since Tiger Woods. This month feels lacking.

Ashunderfire861334d ago

I know right lol!!! Mortal Kombat X is free on PS5, but I understand PS4. Heck the PS4 version should be easy to get for just $20 or even less $10 dollars on ebay or selling stuff apps.

Profchaos1334d ago

You can play it right now open beta is live and free

MKX was already in PS Plus Collection. This is the second time they've double dipped. Thank god the golf game lets u hit balls into the crowd.

BrainSyphoned1334d ago

At least twice this year they have double dipped into PS Now games as well.

Christopher1334d ago

Two separate services isn't double dipping. People do understand that, right? Subscribing to one or the other doesn't give you benefits to the other in any way.

jznrpg1334d ago

Fine with me I don’t sub to PS now

ocelot071334d ago

You don't know PS Collection is not available to PS4 only owners right? Only way they can claim this is by buying a PS5 or logging into a PS5 and claiming them.

So am pretty sure a fair few of the 100+ million PS4 owners are thankful.

Knushwood Butt1334d ago

Mortal Kombat X was never released in Japan so this is another one that won't be included in the lineup for Japan and will probably be swapped for some crap but I'll remain optimistic.

Silly gameAr1334d ago

I'm pretty sure MK has never been on plus. In the US anyway.

Not sure what PS Now has to do with PS Plus.

Profchaos1334d ago

Lee carvello: may I suggest a putter
You have chosen driver.

CorndogBurglar1333d ago

You win for your Simpsons reference.

BLow1334d ago

And like clockwork, you always have some complaining. Happy Gaming

Ozzy24071333d ago

Only PS5 owners get the PS plus collection which majority of playstation owners don't have

TheExecutioner1333d ago (Edited 1333d ago )

Not every one have ps+ collection

When u will stop thinking like a child

Knushwood Butt1333d ago

Update

Japan gets Castlevania Requiem instead of MKX

Not crap then!

3 games I won't play even when they are free

lipton1011328d ago

Really? They’re all legit good games

kneon1328d ago

I've never liked those kinds of fighting games so mortal combat is out. Golf? I don't know why such a game even exists. the last time I played a golf game was on the Apple ][. And finally hell let loose looks like just another in the endless stream of ww2 shooters, I already have enough of those in my backlog that I will probably never play either

SurgicalMenace1333d ago

You know when you actually buy your games you wouldn't be so ungrateful for the free ones. Just a thought.

LiViNgLeGaCY1333d ago

This month just didn't appeal to ME personally. If it's a good a good month for others, hey more power to them. And please, I'm willing to bet I've bought more Playstation games than you have. Probably shouldn't make assumptions about people without really knowing them, just a thought.

SurgicalMenace1333d ago

How much you willing to wager, sir? I've purchased just over 20 games this month alone. Have over 830 games in my digital library 250 on my shelf and that is only the PS4. We'll skip the PS1, PS2, PS3, PSP, VITA, and PS5 just to keep it fair. Who's counting though?🤷🏾‍♂️

1333d ago
LiViNgLeGaCY1332d ago

Whatever you'd like. Since the PS1 days, my collection is in the thousands, just on Playstation alone. Pissing match aside, again, you shouldn't make comments in the future where you look stupid (ex. Telling someone you don't know that they don't buy games)

SurgicalMenace1332d ago

Or perhaps, since you have such the healthy collection, stop whining about the charity. If they don't give it, then buy it.

Pocahontas1328d ago

WhT do you do for a living to afford 20 games in one month

RedDevils1333d ago

Shit games this month. Mortal Kombat X is already on PS+ Collection what the point of have it again. Throwing some indie and would be more happy.

Ozzy24071333d ago

Because the PS+Collection is only for PS5 owners which majority of playstation owners don't have

KyRo1334d ago (Edited 1334d ago )

Hell Let Loose looks great but it's not a casual game and a bit of a acquired taste. It's nice for people to dive in a d try it though. MKX is already on PS5 for free with the PS collection so that bad for PS5 owners and it was only two months ago everyone complained about a sports title being included as a game but yet they follow suit with another one 🤦🏻‍♂️

PS Plus started so well at the beginning of the year too.

SurgicalMenace1333d ago

I never thought I'd see a day when people complain about what they get for free. Hey, there is another great alternative to settling for free games, BUYING what you want.

How much do you think a market leader is going to be willing to cut into their own pockets? How many games do you actually purchase or do you just wait for them to hit plus?

We actually are grown enough to know that we have to pay for greatness over here. You have an option to go to MS if you'd like as well. Otherwise, add it to your library, say thank you, and move on. How old are we here?🤔

KyRo1333d ago (Edited 1333d ago )

I've been subbed to PS plus since the very day it started when all we'd get is PS1 and minis on PS3. PS Plus as a service was always about the games. Now they've made it a requirement for online play you mistakingly think these games are the bonus. They're not. We pay for access to the games via the subscription. They're not free so before running your mouth and giving it the big one, please educate yourself before calling people out.

SurgicalMenace1333d ago (Edited 1333d ago )

Well sir, I too have been a PS+ member since it's inception and own well over 3,000 games on PS3, 1200 of PS4, and close to every game available on PS5. I speak from a supporting standpoint and I'm strongly against people who do more talking with their mouths than their wallets.

If you've not invested into the best experience possible, then why should your opinion be acknowledged? Plus is 70 dollars a year that equates to about $6 dollars a month....what do you expect to get, a choice?🤣

The day that beggers become choosers is the day that gaming dies. How many of the new releases have you purchased? If the answer is none, be happy with what is given. When you're playing the latest, you have little concern for the hand outs. Just a thought, champ.🤣

Kurt Russell1333d ago

Personally I am looking forward to Hell Let Loose. I don't think I would have dived in with a purchase for that one, but I am dead curious to play it... I am hoping it is just the kind of MP I have been hoping for since R6S went doolally.

KyRo1333d ago

Yeah it looks great for sure. I've watched a few people play it on PC and I'm interested to know it's transitioned to console.

outsider16241334d ago

Yesss!! Played HLL open beta and it was amazing. The immersiveness, the one bullet shot, you can't just go running around shooting like in CoD or Bf.

NoFanBoy1334d ago

The beta has a low framerate, lag, loads of pop in textures, flickering shadows etc. It felt horrible to control and aim. If they could improve it then there potential.

Majin-vegeta1334d ago

Thry are aware.They made a post yesterday

FPS_D3TH1333d ago

It’s not really optimized too well on pc yet either. Lots of flickering
