Sad to see Fifa Ps4 crossing 10m mark, Infinite Warfare selling like hotcakes or crap like BF1, meanwhile great games like Last Guardian or Forza Horizon 3 disapearing from the charts or Inside not even breaking 1m most likely among others, what happened to gaming?

I agree with the first part of your sentence, probably could have put the second part in a better way :D

This is why I love sony, they do invest in ideas that are not necssarily copycat games that are already being made.... as long as they appreciate they are bringing in a different section of the market (albeit a smaller one) then I am happy they continue to do that.



Making an indie game : Dead of Day!

Fifa 17 is great. Ultamate Team is as fun as very, and the journey is a great addition. BF1 has a wonderful soundtrack, campaign, and great MP. CoD IW campaign is okay and zombies but MP is crap.



Isn't that the way it usually is the entertainment industry in general?

Every year, big dumb loud summer "blockbusters" make hundreds of millions despite having lame acting and dialogue and barely any semblance of a coherent plot, while most quality films (in general) are lucky to make their money back at the box office. The latest cookie cutter, corporate-produced pop artists sell their music by the truckloads (and it's in every commercial and every radio station you tune to these days), while most artists with any real sense of talent or creativity are left playing small bars and clubs and try to build up just enough of a cult following for them to be able to fund their next album.

Videogames are no different, especially these days now that it's become a multi billion dollar a year industry, and the big companies all have bottom lines to meet and shareholders to please.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

Sorry not sorry if your favorite sport is not as popular as soccer



We also live in a world where some people fail to understand that different people like different things and that their own preference isn't a universal standard.



CoD IW is a good game and I have fun with it. Sue me :P
