Take a look at some of the comments made in regards to the IGN feature about Sony and there various troubles.

Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.
I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing
1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.
It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!
I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.
Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.
Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.
Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:
- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2
I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.
Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.
I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.
I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.
But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5
Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
Now that's the Truth it appears if people are starting to get sane slowly
I found it to be a very interesting read
My thoughts are getting tired of waiting, and tired of hearing nothing new that's good. I've been waiting for the PS3 for a few years now ever since they announced it was in development. I have talked great things about it even though I can't see it or hold it, I have bashed the other systems just to help make it sound better. The sad thing is I'm tired so very tired of getting nothing for this loyalty to a system that seems to be losing not only it's footing but the very ground it's stumbbling on. I'm a PS Fan and I have had both ps1 and ps2 I wanted a ps3 so bad I could taste it.
I have been wanting to wait for the release to see if I should get it or not but as of lately I have been swaying to get a dare I say 360. I'm tired of my ps2 and I see so many new games coming out soon and I hate that fact that I can't wait a few more months but Sony is pissing me off. I'm sick of them telling us stuff and then seeing something else. It's like there are telling us believe what we show not what we say.
I have many friends with 360's and I hate that I can't join in the fun with them and play games with them, the PS3 Price well has been one of my biggest concerens and the fact that they keep losing developers or games are getting put on the back burn.
Online play is attracting me to the 360 even with the $50 a year service even if the ps3 is supposed to be almost free.
What to do what to do, I want the ps3 for it's Final Fantasy and MGS games but the 360 has many games that look fun and they seem to be getting many of the PS's excluisvie titles. Assasins Creed is coming out for it even I must admit I wanted the PS3 for this game too.
Sony is D!cking around and it's getting old I will decide soon but I just felt like saying that sony is starting to lose another fanboy and it's because of their BS and Wasting my time.
End
First let me say I am not rich, I am middle class. Playstation 3 is exspensive to me! My car note and insurance total $650 a month, I dont the choose to buy one lightly. What Sony reps say about "percieved value" does not get enough credit! Just look at the I-Pod; I think everyone knows there are better (MUCH LESS EXSPENSIVE)mp3 players on the market, but people still shell out $400 bucks for it. WHY? Because they value the style, the status that comes with it. Lexus runs a billboard here(Houston) for the ls series sedan with a tagline that reads "A Strong Want is a Justifiable Need". Why? Because everyone knows that when you want something bad enough money, nothing else matters! I wasnt that big on games, I most certainly would be considered casual by anyone here on this site, but I see value in the PS3! I have PS2(since release) and have never had trouble with it. The image quality on it is better than my compomnent dvd players(thats impressive). Its been a wonderful product. As everyone knows PS3 will include Blue-Ray. Dont right this off as small potatoes. My PSP I use faithfully, but not mostly for games, but music, pictures, and movies(UMD is wonderful, the image is astounding! Anyone who doesnt think so has never looked at one in play. The PSP struggles because the machine was built to be multi-media but was not properly marketed as such. Sony left avertising up to the children who adopted the format early,but did very little to inform the public themselves. This is why they are pushing the PS3 as a computer so that this does not happen again. So that people understand what they are getting for $600 dollars.) What struck me was that the PSP delivered on the hardware, and thats all I could ask. Its not their fault movie studios want to release "Bring it On" on umd then bi_ch because it wont sell! Playstation 3 has the potential to replace alot of components in my living room because of its multi-media functions. This is "value". To me the brilliance(highly overlooked) of the PS3 is the connection with the PSP and I hope they see this! Location free included on the PS3 IS NO SMALL THING. For those of you who dont know what that is, its like everything saved on your hardrive beamed into cyberspace and you can access it with your PSP in a hotzone anywhere worldwide! One word-BRILLIANT! You could access your photos, music, games, etc, etc, I could go on and on but when you compare PS3 and 360 side by side with features there is no comparison. Maybe not for you, but for me its worth every penny. And one more question? So many claim that the 360 is a success, but with so many gamers worldwide who have not yet jumped on the badwagon I cant help but wonder what they are waiting for? Perhaps PS3? With the Millions and millions sold, if the general public saw the 360 as the true next generation platform they would have made the move by now dont you all think? Especially after Sonys poor e3 showing? I think like me they know the next generation starts with Sony and the Playstation 3 and I cant wait!!!.....and another thing: anyone who says I was gonna get a PS3 but now based on "nothing" I think I will now get 360 is full of dung! I cant imaging having "descided" on a $600 purchase and then going "uh, never mind"!lol!
all i know is that my brother-in-law, who is a hardcore sony fanboy came over to my house this weekend, and the Saints Row demo left him crushed over his PS3.
"whoa this game is sick!! is this game coming to the playstation??!"
"nope, its 360 exclusive"
"awwwwww. DAMN IT. okay, I'm gonna HAVE to get 360. PS3 is too expensive anyway"
"okay, dude, i'm buying saints row at the end of the month"
True conversation. And this guy lives and dies for playstation! He's also a hardcore gamer...
