You don't need to explain this to me, because I honestly do not care. TLoU is a port. No more and no less. Yes, it's a great game, but it's a cash-grab. The game is barely a year old and they're already calling it a remaster. That's certainly anti-consumer, because they're advertising something that's not really there. Giving people the false idea that the game was was given a "remastered" style polish, when in fact, it was only given an HD boost with free DLC. Very similar to the Zone of Enders HD port or even the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection. However, with the MGS:HD collection, I was given 3 games for a nice affordable price. With Zone of Enders, it was nice and cheap (because it was just an HD port). Heck, even with Wind Waker HD, it was given the "HD" moniker and not "Remaster", because that's what it was. Nintendo certainly weren't trying to oversell the game, and they certainly weren't trying to money-grab a year-old game.

 

As for Indie games: I don't care. I like indie games and I believe they are the future of gaming. In respect to what you said, I certainly agree! However, it's a fact that Sony fans are complaining about the influx of indie games and the lesser emphasis on AAA titles. 

different strokes for different folks is all I see it.  judging by what you wrote, I'd assume TLOUR wasn't intended for you.. which is fine.  Sony or ND isn't forcing you to rebuy their game.  What you would call anti-consumer is only "anti" anything because you're against it, but that didn't stop the game from still selling/recevied well.  As for your "fact" about the complaint of influx of indies?  really?  In it's less than first year offering, and you're upset that Sony is giving you access to more games?  Yes, it's true, their own AAA titles are still on the low side, but really?  how long have you been buying Sony consoles?  and yet you can complain about something as small as AAA offerings because the main competition has a few more "AAA" during the 1st console year?  well.. hate to break it to you, but Sony has always offered more and a wider variety of "AAA"s throughout the console cycle than their competitors.  I don't see any of that ever changing.  less emphasis on AAA titles?  Lol.. yea right.  most who have ever bought any playstation knows the games will be there.

is it just me or people really that impatient nowadays??


1) I own TLoU on the PS3. TLoU:RE is from a game that came out last year. It's a bit too soon to remaster that game. Also, since there's no official numbers on how "well" TLoU:RE is selling, I'd say it's also too soon to start singing praises on its sales.

2) Anti-consumer in the sense that something small is being sold as something big. Promising the consumer a remastered experience when in reality, they're getting a simple HD port with free DLC. That's anti-consumer. Tricking the consumer into believe a product is more than what it really is.

3) I didn't complain about Indies on the PS4. I said other Sony fans were. Why is this so difficult to comprehend?

4) Yes, Sony is putting less emphasis on AAA titles. Probably because AAA 3rd parties are dying do to the change in the market. No one ever said this was a bad thing.

5) Why wait for games when I can play next-gen games now on my PC? When those PS4 games come next year, they won't be exclusive outside of maybe a small number (The Order 1886). Because the PS4 is getting a very small number of exclusives, I will continue to buy the definitive versions on my PC.
