Seems like I'll finally play my first NHL since the PS1 days

OtterX327d ago

Yea, I honestly have never been a follower of hockey, but I did grow up occasionally playing games here and there with some of my friends. Especially Blades of Steel NES and I honestly think my last one was one of the NHL ones on PS1 also! This may stir up some nostalgia. I wouldn't have bought it otherwise, but I'll give it a go w PS+.

monkey602328d ago

Well that's a lot of nope from me.

Doesn't Among Us sell for a whopping €2.50 anyway?

Never bought borderlands 3 since they picked that Jesus mockery of a photo. Was not impressed. There was literally no reason to use it other than to be blasphemous. There's no angels or demons in the game yet they had to be profane toward God and go out of their way to do it.

monkey602328d ago

I'd have said that cover art was easily the best thing about the game. Shame they neutered the humour in game so much.

BISHOP-BRASIL328d ago

Driving boring ass mainline Christians into rage fits is reason enough. Are you not entertained? 'cause we are...

(Also the third game revolves around the radicalization os Bandits and Psychos into the cult Children of the Vault which see the female twin as literally a goddess, in fact the whole franchise always made extensive use of tropes such as cult like factions and villains with a Messiah complex, so it's fitting, however a logical rebuttal to your whining is just less fun).

phoenixwing328d ago (Edited 328d ago )

No the point is they could easily have pictured a character from the game who they're worshipping but instead go after Christians. If they were so altruistic to stop and point out radicalization as if they're brave people they would have put Allah on the cover but oh no we can't upset them because instead of taking it in stride they'd have to actually confront the Muslims who would be outraged. But yeah let's do our weak attempts at being edgy on people who are more mature toward others. Basically all you atheists like to punch down why not go to an Arab country and protest.

Hofstaderman327d ago

@phoenixwing Allah is the arabic word for God used by Christians in the region too.

DarXyde327d ago

phoenixwing,

I can think of a few reasons why the Jesus imagery works better.

1. The intended audience would understand Christian imagery more than Islamic imagery. I'll also add that it's fascinating to observe Christian whataboutisms largely run to Islam to criticize when they feel attacked.

2. If you're trying to sell a game in more countries, there's literally only one Christian theocracy in the world. Do you think B3 not selling in Vatican City has the same impact as being shut out of the multiple Muslim theocracies globally?

3. Islam has an image problem in countries with high Christian populations in the modern era due largely to 11 September. There are people outraged by Hamas' actions without any willingness to engage with the context of how it happened. The Zionists are pretty supportive of the ongoing genocide of innocent civilians. In light of this, your imagery complaint feels very entitled if I'm being honest.

If you want to take it as a W, perhaps the devs in a weird, islamophobic way see Christians as being more tolerant of such imagery being used...? That you can disapprove and boycott without violence? I don't really know.

It's fine if you don't play the game on the basis that it upsets you, though as a member of a racial group that either gets dunked on routinely or pushed forward to further some tolerance agenda, I've learned to laugh at it. If I can learn to do that for immutable characteristics, you can for your beliefs.

You don't have to.... But you can.

You poor, oppressed Christian.

Sounds like it was overall a goof decision. Nothing wrong with some blasphemy.

Profchaos328d ago (Edited 328d ago )

You missed nothing the game sucked key reason why it was selling for under 5 bucks not even a year after launch

Chance_of_Raine327d ago

I used to be like you, then I realized its all a fraud. You'll wake up, when and if you want to, in your own time.

I bet you think pronouns shouldn't be taught in elementary school.

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes day one, here we go!!!

Si-Fly399d ago

No idea why you got downvotes! Can’t wait for it although I’m gonna have to buy it to play on my Deck.

Asplundh399d ago

Because Obscure is disliked by a lot of Sony fans, they see his comments and give him an instant down vote.

MrNinosan399d ago (Edited 399d ago )

@Asplundh
He's also disliked by more healthy Xbox fans.
Just like I dislike some of the extreme Sony fans on this site.

Amazing add to GamePass anywyas.
Sucks I really want my trophies, but will probably end up with both Platinum and 1000GS on this one.

Been waiting since the last Suikoden for a new game from the team 💓

MrNinosan399d ago (Edited 399d ago )

Why can't Playstation grab those ones aswell.
Amazing to see that Eiyuden Rising on gamepass got followed up by this ❤️

Profchaos399d ago

They probably could but they seem to go for older bigger name games from what I've noticed gamepass feels like a indie showcase while PS plus is more likely to be games from Ubisoft or EA that are 2 years plus Old which isn't a bad thing

LabRat399d ago (Edited 399d ago )

@Profchaos what? gamepass has almost all of the EA games (thnx to EA play) plus ubi titles (assassins creeds origins, odyssey, valhalla, farcry 5, 6, rainbow six, watchdogs etc.... not sure why you think PS gets EA and ubisoft games while xbox gets mainly indies.

solideagle398d ago

because they would like to sell on at least 1 platform? and which platform has higher install base?

Barlos399d ago

Yay, more games for you to rent! Do you never buy anything?

Obscure_Observer399d ago

"Yay, more games for you to rent! Do you never buy anything?"

I buy a lot of games. Just don´t waste my time bragging about it like some weirdo insecure idiot.

My latest acquisitions were day one Dragon´s Dogma II, Prince of Persia and The Awaked King for Remnant II which I´m still playing to this day.

I have a lot of games in my backlog which I paid for day one and never played. That´s some of the reasons why I don´t have a PS5 yet. To many games to play, little time to enjoy them.

To be a family man, comes with a price. It is what it is.

Obscure

Ain't that the truth

Elda399d ago

Nothing of interest for me. I'm still playing Persona 3:Reload through GP.
