 Woke up reading the allegations & as a fan of DrD and objectively, are just that for now, allegations. 

Social media can hold characters/emojis & serious accusations requires evidence. 

That as neutral as I can go, if evidence served, then let consequences flow as deserved. 
 Yet another year, yet another PlayStation skipping #gamescom2024 as usually, this is the one of the big three gaming event of the year counting with Summer Game Fest & The Game Awards and this doesn't seem to bother Sony for some reason.

 I don't think this is the reason since it is not the first time they skip the event.

 Good morning muñanos. 

Not AFK these days, at least at offline work is kicking my arse.

Gaming scene for me appears that my 1st 2024 half's goal of mitigating my "New Game" 12+ years backlog will have more to bad results.... L! 
 I hate 2020s Internet... BOTH woke & anti-woke crystal peeps are making it unbearable with their piss war on who's wrong/right.

Let's make "Mind your Own Fucking Business Since You Are NOBODY to tell Anybody how to behave, do to their bodies & forcing your views" Great Again. 
 I'm not addressing this again.

YES! I preordered Metal Gear Solid Delta CE since I was convinced on the proposal, but I DO STILL BELIEVE & WON'T CHANGE MY VIEW that Konami is petty & played EVIL FOUL on Hideo Kojima just for shitty power struggle.

 Context as I was asked on Mastodon...

This was based on a conversation outside social networks.

I am up to debate, but I will not engage if you don't bring data to backup an opinion or just "because you believe".

I refuse to devaluate my time like that. 
 More than half a decade on this debate and things haven't changed. 

Want 100% privacy, don't use the Internet and any gadget that isn't higher than 15 years old. 

Is not being idiot, is being realistic and ignorance intolerant. 
 I feel that Jack Dorsey leaving #Bluesky because he want a 4chanization of the network equally on shit X is actually a win & L for him. 

There is a free speech as well a freedom to not follow conversation I have zero interest on following with nobody enforcing to. 
 It's f'n ridiculous in the gaming world to demand "factual" from a FICTIONAL story with Assassin's Creed Shadow and add the "WOKE ALARM", when historians actually have no evidence whether or not Yasuke became a general of Oda Nobunaga.

 Now with that being said, Sony shot themselves on their own foot at long-term because NOW is evident that doing business with Playstation as independent studio, is a 11 bullets T-shirt and it is less risky avoiding exclusivity in #gaming platforms just to fund gaming projects. 
 Almost 200 #gaming markets that PSN doesn't allow people register is the numbers of markets with #Helldivers2 retired from Steam.

It is sad that Sony is evidently not giving up on this weird requirement merely because they invested in the game.

Arrowhead is NOT at fault IMO.

 After more than a year that they could not come to a new agreement and let games being removed from Chinese market (except Diablo Immortal), Blizzard Entertainment will return to China via #Xbox consoles.

Back in November 2022, when Activision Blizzard were still independent, could not reach a new business agreement beyond the availability of Diablo Immortal (a whole different agreement) and let January 2023 as the official month of most of Blizzard Entertainment games to be retired.

This week's announcement is basically a Microsoft Gaming led gaming success in China gaming market, that includes to explore bringing new NetEase games to Xbox consoles and other platforms.

NetEase hasn't been in the bench despite losing a powerful partner like Blizzard (which rumors saying that in part, is was due disturbed communication with unpleasant misunderstandings for then CEO Bobby Kotick), as buying and investing in Westerns gaming studios.

For immediate effect, Chinese gamers will expect the recovery of access of previous available titles like World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, and other titles in the Warcraft, Overwatch, Diablo and StarCraft franchises.

Of course, Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer considers this agreement a new Xbox victory for bringing more games to more players around the world.

 Ubisoft finally revealed that #StarWarsOutlaws will release on 08/30/24, responding to almost non-stops leak of the game's details.

There will be a Gold Edition ($109.99) that includes:

-Season Pass that will bring 2 in-lore expansions
-A exclusive Jabba's Gambit mission
-3 days early access to the game

Meanwhile the Ultimate Edition ($129.99) will include what Gold brings with also:

-Sabacc Shark Bundle
-Rogue Infiltrator Bundle
-Digital art book

Also the game will mark a 2nd time in a row that Ubisoft requires users to have active Internet Connection while installing the game if it comes in a BluRay (not just update/Day One Patch) after Avatar: Frontiers Of Pandora, which the only explanation is that the game's installation data is too big for a single BluRay, but maybe for cost cutting, declined on a extra installation-only disc like the case of Final Fantasy VII Remake series.

Star Wars Outlaws follows space scoundrel Kay Vess and her companion Nix looking their place between bounty hunters in a Underworld unexpected golden age after the Empire's engagement with the Rebel Alliance took unexpectedly priority.

Chronologically, the game's timeline takes between Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back & Episode VI: Return Of The Jedi, so there you have a low chances on encountering original Star Wars characters, specially Han Solo.

 The latest estimate on #Arcade numbers in Japan are not encouraging for those having hope things will get better.

Financial analyst firm Teikoku Databank estimates that arcades in Japan has declined by nearly 8,000 over the past decade, so NO direct pandemic blaming here (but didn't help matters of course).

This decline has been accelerated by recent increases in operating costs & while is true that Crane games have become more popular, but they are also less profitable.

Naka posted on X, claiming that part of his failed defense on insider trading accusation (which left him with a 2.5 years in prison sentence), was due Mikaje submitting evidence that were full of lies.

Pretty much tells that he isn't empathetic if Mikaje being moved to Mobile Gaming Division was a forced move and hopes he leaves Square Enix soon.

Yuji Naka was accused along two Square Enix employees after being busted with insider trading, buying shares in expectations for their price increase to later sell them back as they knew before hand that the reveal of both Dragon Quest Tact and Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier will be received positively.

The game has achieved Unreal Engine 5 visual benchmark, regardless being capped at 30 fps for Xbox consoles, it is touted as true next-gen experience & one of the best good-looking games so far as game's realistic FMVs scenes will match movie theater's quality at 24 fps.

Hellblade 2's Storyline will be a narrative, linear action experience with very high production values, focus on story and cinematic craft, impactful combat & puzzles, expected to take players between 8 to 9 hours to complete.

Combat system was designed to be a one on one only, slow-paced and expect to feel brutal with swinging your sword always feeling heavy & impactful.

Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 launches DIGITAL ONLY on Xbox & PC, both for sale & Day One release with Game Pass on May 21, 2024 with no physical version announced (yet maybe?).

This is part of the so-called Project Polaris, which aims a to have a new The Witcher game trilogy in a 6 years period starting with the release of the first one.

Also and talking to local press, CD Projekt Red acknowledged that single player games are not compatible with micro-transaction or for their POV, they don't see a place for microtransaction but, cannot be ruled out on multiplayers games.

Of course, this came on the initial reception of Capcom's Dragon Dogma 2 which many of the negatives about the game was the focus on microtransaction first than the whole game lore/single player playthrough, which Capcom has already apologized.

 Yes!

I AM A FAN OF THE MATRIX, but to me... a fifth movie will be an amplification of the fan servicing like the 4th....

In other words... to me is unnecessary... Yeah, "I am going to be that guy". 
 The Wachowskis are actually the WHOLE franchise creator.
To be fair, just one of them agreed on doing the 4th and seems that it will be the same thing with the 5th.

Now... that is a not excuse to diss a movie IMO. 
 PSA: Same status, #UnicornOverlord CE Edition still available for PS5 & Xbox Series X (sold out for Nintendo Switch).
