Sony hate thread

[GeorgeFloydFentanylStash]

every fucking game NEEDS to have some fucking asshole talking to you every single moment?

The more assholes the merrier.

Annoying Null in the MATHI thread supposedly.

Disagreeing with Null, even rudely (which is never smart, just pragmatically speaking) isn't generally "risky" on the Farms (which is something I respect him for, as tempting as it must be to just ban raging assholes or even just people who disagree (like the Resetera fags love to do)) but deliberately trolling him (especially in that thread) is just begging for the banhammer.

Ah well. As the Demotivational posters love to point out, "it's possible your entire reason to exist is to serve as an example to others."

One thing also where modern gaming but where especially Sony also lost the plot is the whole player character to player dissonance. Regardless of the story being told the player is inserted into the game through the characters they control. Yes Kratos is a character, but he is also the player which is why nu Kratos doesn't land. Sure there is a spectrum to this, something like Gordon Freeman who is nothing but the player to OG Kratos which has a backstory and the like but here is the thing. In God of War you do badass things, Kratos is treated as a badass, so as the player you feel badass. There is very little baggage there. The cutscenes back this up as you go from point A to point B. It isnt trying to be like Schindlers List. No you are doing badass things and badass things happen.


Devs have always tried to fuck with this formula. Hell in the other thread we brought up Spec Ops the Line awhile ago which IMO completely fucks this up. Even back then a game no one played Pariah, it does the plot twist that you were the bad guy the whole time. This doesnt land because you arent doing evil/bad shit during the rest of the game. It works for the Postal games, hell it works for Far Cry 2. But it doesnt work there and modern Sony keeps doing that shit, especially with TLOU 2 and it just doesnt jive with what you are doing as the player.

The inherent problem with the "The main character is a bad person and you aren't supposed to cheer for him" style of writing is that no one wants to be made to feel like the bad guy. Having Kratos literally scream at a cooler version of himself to showcase his character development just makes him sound like a pussy whose desperate for people to like him.

Metal Gear Solid, Spec Ops the line, The Last of Us, they all try to guilt you for doing what they tell you to do.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=px0lrYfRdVgThis is a 20 man team here, which is embarrassing for 9 figure games from Soyny.

Damn fine taste you got there, dude. Fatekeeper is awesome and I've enjoyed what I've played (All of the currently available early access content.) of it.

You shut the fuck up, I like the talking rat, he's just the right amount of assholish to be funny.

i thought that rat was going to be a NAGGER but he shuts up as soon as you're out of the tutorial

The game isn't anywhere near finished yet, which is why he mostly shuts up after the tutorial.

The few times i talked to Null is always getting me lectured respectfully like a child to learn something.

Which isn't bad. But some people just don't like it.

Pro tip, just pretend to be a BBW and der Feeder will show his genteel side .

God of War II (2007) female character designs vs. God of War: Laufey (2026). This is 19 years apart, what the fuck happen?

Gee, wonder why I haven't seen any gaming media report on this. Couldn't have anything to do with the giant banner ads all featuring playstation, could it?

i wonder if IA will tell those faggots to make a game without some ugly dyke, a cucked male or anything beyond revenge le bad and acchually men are le ebil monster all along

Just for fun I asked Grok "Make me an image of a possible video game with 3 characters, one male, one female and one non-human." Then at its suggestion "Add a magical elf character."
So, there's a chance.

Corpos are hellbent on making this the future, not only of gaming but all of entertainment because they are convinced it is a real-life infinite money glitch, all that corpo speech translate to: "If we can dispose of as many human workers as possible and have automatons do the work, this will increase our profit exponentially."

If that's how it is going to be then I'll find different hobbies and entertainment independent of this and I don't think I'm the only one who feels the same way.

It is comical how AI images just have this "look" to them that is so easy to spot. It is slop regardless and there is a section of gamers that are already pissed off at AI data centers gobbling up the RAM and storage supply that is driving the price of every piece of tech up. If sales are bad now wait until a large section of resented costumers simply quits because they cannot stomach the rising costs of software and hardware and on top of that are being asked to pay for content that is being made by the very thing that is making it unaffordable.

Oh and these companies will push more and more for cloud gaming and hardware subscription models as the "consumer friendly" options as more people are priced out of owning anything.

"If we can dispose of as many human workers as possible and have automatons do the work, this will increase our profit exponentially."

I'm genuinely impressed with how fast they embraced it so fucking openly and brazenly, too. I really thought they'd be at least a little bit subtle and patient, but nope, at the very first sign of the first iteration of a potentially useful semi-automated tool, they immediately went full-bore "LOL FUCK THE MEATWARE FIRE THEM ALL PLUG IN THE AI TO DO IT ALL FOR US MUWAHAHAHA FUCK YOU HUMANS YOU FUCKING CUNTS HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Like ... there's not even any pretense this time. Even Mitt fucking Romney tried to spin his particular brand of "corporate takeover and asset strip" racket into something that could at least temporarily rescue dying companies and give them a fighting chance (hint: it didn't and never does/will) instead of literally gluing a twirling mustache onto his face and laughing at us all.

My own plan with the IT industry's current retardation is to wait for the uptick of "oh fuck we need to hire senior-level staff again at a premium pay rate to fix the shit our shitty AIs broke when we fired all our seniors and told the juniors to use AI to do their work for them" ... take as many contract gigs at exorbitant rates as I can, minimally fix whatever broke, and cut-and-run before they go full mercenary and decide to "end third party relationships" as their shit stabilizes. There is no loyalty there. Best to milk their desperation and GTFO to the next gig while you can while the gettin's good.

That's great, but they already uggo-fy their model references. What's stopping them from from adding to the prompt you made 'make them mutts and at least 50 lbs overweight'?

Game development turned from a frat house into a longhouse.

A few more for the list of games where you're blatantly an asshole and not brow-beaten for it: The Darkness, Destroy All Humans, and probably my favorite of this trio, the first PROTOTYPE game. The player character is less so of a hero, but still a "protagonist". I don't think the current era of purple hair and nose ring writers are capable of writing a nuanced "evil" main character.

The difference in writing quality between 2018 and Ragnarok is enough to make your head spin. 2018 still gave Kratos some dignity, but Rag just straight up makes him into a happy cuck. "Faye, my wife who I treasure, had an entire life she never told me about AND I AM OKAY WITH THAT. DO YOU HEAR ME BOY, I RESPECT WOMEN"

I was giving them the benefit of the doubt here and assuming they meant you weren't allowed to use guest accounts for online co-op, which would still be horrible.

They'll just pretend it doesn't exist, like they do every time sony does something evil and/or scummy.
