This week, Extra Credits tackle the rampant bullying, misogyny and hate speech that occurs within the gaming community
Games can fall victim to hype. In other cases, they're just terrible games. Here are the most disappointing PlayStation exclusives ever, according to Jaxson Parker of Power Up Gaming.
for such a clickbaity lying thumbnail
I agree with the games showing there more than the actual list lol
Surprised that Haze wasn't mentioned here. It was touted as a Halo Killer. But I guess technically it was going to come to 360 and PC, but it reviewed so poorly that they were canceled, thus making it a Playstation Exclusive. It was supposed to be just a timed exclusive.
Remembering 'Lair' still makes me sad, I loved 'Days Gone', though, it was buggy as hell, but so much fun
Killzone, the Order, Days gone... even Knack did not disappoint me. all of them have some charm to them.
The writer obviously didn't play many Playstation Exclusives, when including LBP3, Days Gone, Knack, Days Gone, No Man Sky etc...
And No Man Sky is not a Playstation exclusive since years back
The six new FTC rules aim to distill reviews into authentic ones only, but players might lose leverage.
How will this work though because when a company genuinely does anti-consumer things to p*** people off or when the game is just down right bad people still say it's "review bombing" like there's this set agenda when really it's rightfully deserved. At the end of the day it's the only way to get through to a studio that's done wrong, that and overall sales because they'll lose money
You're never going to stop review bombs. Review bombs have been around way before the internet. Companies review bomb every thing. From their own product on Amazon, what they are selling on Ebay, a business on Google reviews. All that could be good or crap. I remember movie trailers picking out the exciting stuff to show off the movie to find out the movie was crap. If I want a game review I turn to this site called Twitch. I search the game that has my interest. I avoid the big partnered streamers and go to the little guy who does offer their own opinion about the game.
Reviews are that disruptive to businesses that they have to find ways to… bury them? Scummy. What’s next? DMCA takedowns on YouTube reviews that express negativity?
Good luck!
Edit: I like the thumbnail of Helldivers 2 where the skin was never given or PSN requirement never removed.
Arrowhead has explained to fans what is required for Helldivers 2 to finally land on Xbox Series X/S consoles.
Make a trade? Helldivers for…I don’t know. What game would PlayStation mains like to see?
If I remember correctly the MLB jumped in and told Sony to port the Show to other platforms. As for porting this game to a third platform I can see Sony weighing on the pros and cons. But a game this popular it would be nice to port it to a third option means more sales. Last thing you want to do is piss off the fans.
Pure speculation:
• I could imagine Sony don't want Helldivers 2 in Game Pass, if Microsoft would only want players to have it in Game Pass.
• I could imagine Sony would want to build the IP even more. Helldivers 3 whenever it will release, from everything they've learned already, could have the potential to be even more fun, even more stable (yep!), just bigger & better as an IP itself.
• Would Microsoft even want their rival's online shooter on its console platform in competition with Doom, Wolfenstein, Gears, Halo and CoD?
• Human factor of envy, feuds, prior exclusive deals and buy-outs.
Sony doesnt really need Xbox player base when its so small in comparison to their own. Xbox on the other hand need the PlayStation player base because it is so large and that they have bought studios for 80 billion dollar. They need to get a as large player base as possible to put their games on and start getting value for their investment.
I feel like the moment to strike was when the game was HOT. A missed opportunity.
But you can never have too many players for an online only game.
casual homophobia is really rampant as well
It's funny but.... You can just block these people. I do it all the time.
