I already live in a communist country where censorship in the media is the norm and an excuse for feeding or brainwashing people with loony politics, PC culture is the thing most closer to that way of thinking, it's how it starts, "they do it for your own good", today it might be "fan service" and "adult content", tomorrow it will be worse, heck anticonsumer policies are far more common today than ever before with ultra-moderated chat rooms where you can be b...
Isn't this a personal data leak? They should've been more careful with those already badly treated customers. Fallout 76's Fallout is a total crap storm!
Every person counts. I'm also a PlayStation gamer since the early days, and have had a lot of PlayStation consoles; I also like to gift them to my friends and family, I'm even a PSVR and PSVITA supporter. This is my profile: https://psnprofiles.com/Bla... You think this censorship crap isn't gonna hurt some sales, I do think it won't endanger the brand, but maybe it will be enough to get noticed, no busine...
Freedom of speech and not taking choices out of the hand of people nor deciding what is best for others is also a matter of principles, I may not share the same taste for otaku content as those guys but I'm against censorship, those games are for adults, and games like Last of Us 2 has strong content as well, not the same category, I know, but the game was promoted on a lot of public events and streams that kids watch so feeding the line of "think about the children" is hypocrit...
Great article, Benny, thanks for keeping the light on the issue of censorship. I'm not a novel-anime gamer, but I feel disgusted by all this double standards on the Sony Censorship Issues that while they promote games with strong adult themes and content they also ban and censor those that some people with the newfound position of power don't like, even taking such extreme measures as to choose for other regional markets what is right for them 'cause "world views", give ...
It's a matter of principles to some people, everyone's is entitled to have an opinion and is his right to follow his values and choose his own decision, heck he can even share his points of view and why he's doing that, I'm an old time born and rise 80s gamer, I've seen that every kind of censorship start small, like Nintendo in the 80s, they mandated the change of crosses for hearts on the churches in early final fantasy games 'cause religion, banned the name Hitler i...
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
Sony is not the taste police, we already have a rating system and parental control, how...
I'm pretty sure that Sony did the dock thingy first with the PSPGO, but Nintendo wasn't inspired by Sony for a Hybrid console-handheld, that is something they've pursued from a very long time, I remember an interview with Gunpei Yokoi in the 90s where he stated that, ultimately, he envisioned that console and handheld gaming would become one when portable technology has matured enough (He also was the mind behind Nintendo's "Lateral Thinking with Withered Technology"...
Not enough, they shouldn't be allowed to sweep such a broken release under the rug. Enough with the anti-consumer practices and the sheep corporate mentality, guys, it's time to take a stand.
That's rigth, they had a lot of missed opportunities, like making a campaing mission about Lyudmila Pavlichenko (Lady Death), the Russian sniper. Or they could have made a fictional campaign with a French resistance agent like medal of honor did with the second entry (Ps1 era) and not rewriting history, disrespecting the memory of current soldiers like the ones who sabotage the Nazi hard water production in Norway , nor vilifying the French via implying that they erased the Senegalese Tir...
You are right in my case. I did not buy it 'cause for all the political reasons, I support women in gaming and gay rights but I'm against forced politics and SJW nonsense, first battlefield since hardline I haven't played and I'm planning to keep it that way.
Same boat. I do that with every game nowadays.
If Sony keeps censoring games, they'll lose another old-time fan, I've been a PlayStation gamer since the very first gen PSX consoles (the ps1 with the RCA outputs), and have bought multiple consoles and revisions as I used to gift older models to my friends. In my case, I've not bought a Dating Anime game in my life, but I believe in personal rights and freedom of speech, no one should decide what kind of content is or isn't good for you, we have the rating system and parenta...
Almost anything can't compare to Venezuela, maybe hell and some other "4th world" countries. The government and the military is full of narcs, terrorist, killers, thieves and degenerates.
Yeah, but that requirement might've be thanks to Denuvo and not because you lack of a good CPU. I supposed we'll have to wait and see if that is true 'cause your chip can still pack a good punch.
I don't know why the SJWs always have to tantrum about race. Yeah, an early version of Lara was supposed to be a Latina named Laura Cruz, but even before that character they had a red head, green eyed girl in mind and she was illustrated in promotional material as well. They also used an Indiana Jones lookalike in early development before switching to a girl, none of that came to be and the original Lara of today is what she is. Do you want to keep whining about imaginary things? Gosh, I&...
Body Harvest was an interesting game but is completely dated by now. Sin and Punishment could be a great option!
I know, Bladesfist XD my PS3 is on it's last legs and I hav'ent even played half of my backlog yet! I've a lot of retro games as well and sometimes I play one of my oldies in the office through emulation, it's a great advantage not having to haul my old consoles and a crtv with me if I'm just looking for one quick fix with one game.
Buying the game and playing it on an emulator is not stealing, there are people playing pirate copies of games on a hacked PS3 (real hardware) right now, as well as stolen discs, morals are up to the individual and not the format/hardware.
I was an Eurogamer's fan as I visited the site frequently for years, even though I'm from and in South America, but this kind of reviews sheds direct light on the reason why I haven't returned to the site, it's filled with hypocrites and hate activists waiting to jump the gun on everything that doesn't fit their extreme political agenda (the editor is one of the worst btw), it's a shame 'cause they still have Eurogamer Retro and Digital Foundry. Never again, Euroga...
