Is this... Is this really newsworthy? I get that it's videogamer.com and whatever they say goes, but...
Hmm, judging by the comments and the «hottest» meter, i guess, they were right, people are actively engaging with this post. What a weird situation. I'll shut up then.

I call BS. Move to California happened after PS4, near PS5 release date. And i was around when they released PS3, i own one.
So somehow, Sony was doing just fine for all the PS3 generation and more than half of PS4 generation and then, suddenly, they had to move to San Francisco to keep afloat and start acting weird, huh? Do you even hear yourself?!
The whole censorship angle, weird acquisitions like Bungie, idiocy with pushing everyone to live servic...

Agree, as soon as Sony moved to Cali, it's been bad decision after bad decision so far. And keep pushing for live service is just dumb at this point, like they're being stubborn about the wrong thing.

I hope they'll get back to PS3 times - more games overall and more new franchises.

Just one flop, really? Destruction All-Stars, Concord and Foamstars comes to mind.

And they cancelled:
Last of Us Factions standalone
Spider-Man: The Great Web
Payback (from Bungie)
Twisted Metal Red Star
Unnamed game (from PlayStation London Studio)
Unnamed game (from Deviation Games)

And people don't want them to «stop making services», as far as i see, people don't want Sony to foc...

Can't say what @TheColbertinator opinion is, but, IMO, this is dumb, because it's a singleplayer game. Do and require what you want from multiplayer games, but singleplayer games should support offline mode, without login requirement or extra downloads.

On top of that, i think it can hurt the customers. Reason - i have a PSN account, but i can't use it anymore, because the country where i'm living have PSN shut down. This is something everyo...

People are forgetting Filthy Frank, sad.

@Knushwood Butt
On a serious note, if still interested, you can check out something like:
FLCL, JoJo's Bizzare Adventures, One Punch Man (first season) or Gurren Lagann, if you want something crazy.
Berserk or Vinland Saga, if you want to feel depressed.
Or Appleseed, Ghost in the Shell, Ergo Proxy, Psycho-Pass, if you want something to think about or are looking for cool visuals.

I recommend Toy Story, Corey in the House, airplane instruction videos from the '80s, Seinfield. Those are my favorite animeys

Personally, i think it's bad and breaks the immersion. It doesn't improve anything, quite the opposite. And it doesn't make sense, actually. Like that «Porsche» on the back on the spacecraft - you'll only see this branding if:
a) You're playing a third person game
b) You're going behind a spacecraft when it's parked
No one else will be able to see it otherwise. So why should it exist, who will see it?! In real life, you're o...

Personally, i think some people are forgetting what kind of game GTA is and what kind of characters we're playing. They're, you know, criminals. And criminals break the law and say some awful, dumb, obscene -ist and -phobic shit, it's kind of their shtick. How often do you see criminals on the news or street quoting Shakespeare and making inspirational speeches like Martin Luther King Jr.?
The whole appeal, in my personal opinion, to many in GTA games is to act unhinged, ...

«Everyone who dislikes what i like are normie/stimulation junkie». That's a very mature approach. What was, according to you, a «spectacle» in previous Dragon Age games?

It's not. Where's Morrigan child? Where's Architect? Why does Veilguard ignores most of the world state/choices from DAO/2?

Don't forget Naked Gun too, an underrated classic.

I'm with you on this one. I see it as pointless and even harmful. Not only you're changing the game to the worse (removing content), but the person you're trying to «remove» already got the fame and money from the exposure, so what's the point? Virtue signaling? It's not like he's getting paid for every in-game kill or something.

And especially doing...

Because it's not a game, it's an expansion.

> This might suggest a year devoid of games
Expansions doesn't come out every year, though. What if only one comes out, is that ok that it will win by default? That doesn't seem fair to me, personally.

It's not a game (you know, the «G» in «GOTY»), it's an expansion, simple as that. At most, it should have it's own category (maybe, «EOTY»?). But even that's questionable, in my opinion (what if we have no notable expansions, should we nominate any DLC? Or maybe battle passes? Microtransactions?).

They haven't nominated Blood & Wine for GOTY, they haven't nominated Phantom Liberty for GOTY, ...

But Take Two have picked then. They saw their portfolio and still decided that they're worth it.
Take Two also have decided the budget and the deadline.
And when Take Two saw the result, they still thought it was good enough to release and put the price tag.
Oh, and they profited from it too.

Personally, i think Take Two is to blame for this.

It's like if you've decided to hire some Deviant Art perso...

I would go for Dragon Age: Origins with DLCs; if you like that, then Dragon Age Inquisition with DLCs.

If you really like them both, go for Dragon Age II, but keep in mind, it's kind of a different game, toned down and more action oriented; play only if you're a fan of DA and want to get more of the story.

Personally, i would skip Veilguard, but that's up to you. At least, i would wait for deep sale. See a couple of revi...

But those are physical items, they need materials in order to be constructed and delivery to a store and then to the buyer.

Even if you've compared physical items to this skin (like a painting or a scuplture) - they can use expensive materials or require expensive processing. This skin just uses the regular color palette.

This is just a digital skin that you don't even own and can't get your money back by reselling it...
