What made all the people kill each other before video games were around?

I'll tell you why violence is on the rise... people are getting tired of our freedoms being whittled away by all the ignorants complaining/rioting about stuff they don't like until it gets outlawed.

All of this enabled by bleeding-heart, opportunistic, oops! I mean compassionate, empathetic politicians in the name of "fairness and equality."

I watch these kids play games then run right outside their apartments and start mowing people down just like the games they were playing.

Now it's me Pavlov's dogs, the console turns on and they start shootin up da place.

Video games the cause of increased violence? I don't think so. I play AC and Injustice on a regular basis, and I'm not making a hidden blade to assassinate that one annoying kid down the road. If anything my most relaxing time is when I play video games. Why don't they do a study of people who play video games and people who don't and check their history of violence? Oh wait, because they already did research on this subject...the results? Video games don't make you violent.

Saelyn3161d ago

No. Video games only cause violence against controllers.

Bathyj3161d ago

Yes. I'm no historian but I'm pretty sure there were no murders before the late 70's.

Fallout 4 is now available on next-gen consoles, but PS Plus users might be left disappointed

Fallout 4 is now available on next-gen consoles, offering 60fps gameplay and 4K resolution. But it's bad news if you claimed the game on PS Plus.

Probably won't happen for PS+ since Sony makes a clear distinction between a PS4 game and a PS5 game, unlike PC and Xbox where it is not a specific device game (It's now always an Xbox game).

So to make the PS5 game of fallout 4 available. Bethesda would need to renegotiate the complete deal with Sony.
hence why there's often only the PS4 version of the game available on PS+.

Let's hope Bethesda and Sony can arrive to term quickly.

In that same link, they talked to further support who said PS+ owners aren’t eligible. What a load of BS! The upgrade worked just fine for FF7R. I was looking forward to this. 😞

PS5 upgrades for PS4 games on PS+ are hit and miss. The reason is usually that publisher doesn’t want to hand out free upgrades. Sometimes they offer the upgrade upfront, sometimes they are bullied into it, and sometimes they offer it later in a special edition that Sony buys for PS+. It looks here like Bethesda’s intent was to raise the profile of Fallout 4 (and sell some DLC) so I expect we will see an update for PS+ versions soon.

Bethesda themselves acknowledged that Plus users are eligible. There is just some kind of glitch and they are working to fix it.

I think a hard copy should be relatively cheap at this point.

Roughly a fiver for disc. It's also £3.99 on PSN right now for both PS4 and ps5 version.

North America sale just ended. The timing for me absolutely blows.

So if I insert my ps4 disc I should get the upgrade?

This article is funny. They tell you that $35 is a good deal for this game...We know whose side they are on.
