If the release calendar holds as currently constructed, Grand Theft Auto VI will launch into the waiting arms of millions upon millions of day-one players. And since it's likely to be the highest-grossing entertainment event in the history of mankind, it's fair to assume that the marketing push will be substantial. As we get ever-closer to the fall, Take Two's CEO has been giving revealing interviews about the insane money, expectations, and consequences behind Rockstar's much-anticipated project (and word on these digital streets is that Sony has secured the marketing rights to the game, which is absolutely massive for PlayStation 5). Are you ready to withstand a hype machine the likes of which you've never seen before? Plus: Strauss Zelnick expresses disappointment over Civilization VII and laments the lack of a new BioShock, a majority of consumers polled report never buying games at full price, Call of Duty is finally skipping PlayStation 4 moving forward, Yacht Club's Mina the Hollower gets a release date, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Should Sony reform its existing refund system on PSN? Is there an alternate reality where Sony kept the 007 film license in the '90s, thus opening up PlayStation to a series of James Bond games? Should PlayStation explore surprise reveals a la the new Star Fox? Does Colin have a potential business opportunity in the works naming other people's children?

Daddy T

Wanted to hear the boys thoughts on Stranger Than Heaven before giving the full listen cause that trailer is a fucking banger. But this is seemingly a Yakuza prequel about the founding of the Tojo Clan, the clan that Kiryu initially belongs too. It’s worth noting Snoops real life son also plays a character in this game.

JoshM

Nice little Muse reference in the title, I like it

Dante B

I appreciate Colin being so good natured that he believes every write in, but this missed connection story completely reeks of bogus.

Walk Forward Cutscene

The real hinge point in 2001 was Dale Earnhardt’s death. C’mon Colin

BigDumbStupidIdiot

I'm surprised fewer people don't buy full priced games. The economy sucks cock (THANKS), older gamers have less time because of work/family life, and Zoomers have no money because they're just entering the workforce

DIS-Bee

Basically every game since the late 2010's has a female lead. Anita didn't fizzle out, she won!

Jose

Entertainment is always at the top even when the economy sucks. How else are people going to escape from the daily grind than with the shiniest new toy?

TMFP

I don’t catch them often but I got this one too

Michael Rogers

My wife started off as a hostage listener of SS, then grew to enjoy it. Then I convinced her she may enjoy trying Switch games, and now she has a Switch 2, listens to Micah on PU every week, and is playing Persona 5 Royale on Switch 2 while I play on PS5. So hold them wives hostage boys, it may go places.

Black Detective in Dexter

Everything sucks now because there's like 4 corporations that own everything and they're all in cahoots with eachother. Back in the 90s and earlier, smaller companies were still competing for your business, so they actually had to make an effort to make good products and services. That's over now. You'll buy the sub par products today because who else are you going to buy from? There's no one else left. It's very sad.

Calijae

I feel like Chris making a joke about a 15 year old girl being murdered by a pedophile isn’t in good taste not trynna cancel on him or start something but that ain’t cool lol

The Corn Rocket

I don't but the enshitfication theory. My TV is way better than anything I had in the 90s. My car is way better. My PC is way better. My phone which happens to be a computer that fits in my pocket is better. My console is better. My house is better. My Internet is better. My healthcare, while expensive, is better. My access to information is better.

GunMetalJackal

Writer Trent Miller better name the boy Master Miller. Get some MGS in that home.

Walk Forward Cutscene

Plenty of games sold well during and right after the financial crisis. Job market was absolute shit for millennials at the time. Not sure why people think current events are the first time something has happened in history. Very self-centered imo

BigDumbStupidIdiot

I'm pretty sure AI douche bags weren't eating up all the memory (which is fucking many industries) causing consoles to INCREASE in price as they age. It's worth noting gas prices are going to be close to doubled by Memorial Day. Everything is connected economically. People are getting pinched from all angles. They're still going to get their entertainment but in a cheaper way; waiting for sales and jumping in-and-out of streaming services

ChaosZwei+5

Psn and steam and such sell digital products there's never any issue of supply. Walmart and Lowe's are real stores that sell real tangible objects. I buy steam games not off steam all the time I always gonna try and save money. It eats into your profits ok who cares provide me the better service and maybe I won't go looking elsewhere?

Cloud

Colin is getting old he just straight up doesn't understand listener Dustin's refund policy suggestion lmao great idea listener Dustin!

Genes family friendly stained Xbox Helix shirt

*joke* I’m sorry boomers but as a 13 year long gta online player (I’ve been playing since it came out I was in 3rd grade lol) people DO play on pc more than console it just doesn’t show up on charts because they mostly play third party roleplay servers like fivem

Haru Discourse

Agree with all of these except for the car.

ChaosZwei+5

Yea that was pretty yikes but we all say yikes shit sometimes it happens

ChaosZwei+5

Looking forward to pirating gta6 on my pc in a couple years. These companies gotta get with the times and put their games on the better platforms

Calijae

Yea exactly how I feel. Not trynna start anything or cancel the boy lol just pointing out that one wasn’t it lol but I agree we all say dumb shit sometimes

ChaosZwei+5

Bioshock 2 is the best bioshock and that was a return to rapture a return to Colombia could be interesting. Rapture a third time seems ill advised

Michael Hebert

Hey Mrs Rogers, blink twice if you need help

Michael Hebert

I can’t believe the boys didn’t recognize the potential of naming the child Joel or Tommy Miller

Supes

I think enshittification is less about "technological improvement" and more about the idea that your money doesn't go as far as it would have several decades ago, and how it's less easy to actually own the things you spend money on. Also, "better" can have a lot of different meanings. Sure, my phone is "better" insofar as it's technologically superior, but has it actually made my life materially better? Am I happier with it? I dunno. I don't have any answers, but I think viewing it only as "technology has improved therefore things are better" is maybe a little bit of a reductionist take.

Supes

Master McDonnell Liquid Snake Miller. Print it

Mitch Orobko

Regarding the Saros modifier.. you guys know you can just NOT use it. Just because it's on the god damn menu screen. Im going to use it only going for the trophy that requires it but other than that nope. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. Colin says it's way easier, but then says he's taking too much damage so he uses the modifier? I had whiplash hearing him talk about it.

Bisexual Lighting Rigger

Maybe I'm crazy but didn't Colin have that old gaming cop on an episode of SS+?

Walk Forward Cutscene

See, that’s the thing. You’re frantically sperging out about AI douchebags, but weren’t the Wall St douchebags that caused the financial crisis and the politicians that bailed them out just as bad, if not worse? Btw gas prices were very expensive in ‘08, especially after adjusting for inflation.

Publix Chicken tender sub

Man Chris spitting facts, the smart phone was the one thing that change the world

BigDumbStupidIdiot

08 was from banks giving out bad loans. These AI guys are absolutely going to get bailed out. Shit is more expensive and we have less buying power. The memory shortage and the Iran War aren't ending anytime soon. Gamers are getting fucked by consoles getting more expensive which didn't happen in 2008.

Stanley Stoopish

Actually can't handle how soft this audience is sometimes lol.

GoofyCrazyRaccoon

I truly hope that Colin’s stance on Covid-19 (and potential future pandemics) is being heavily exaggerated for comedic effect. The response to the pandemic was disjointed, confusing, and at times comical, but that speaks more to the government’s preparedness than the reality of the virus altogether. Covid-19 killed millions and put an incredible strain on healthcare systems globally. If you believe anything else then you’re just buying into a conspiracy that would require the cooperation of an absurd amount of healthcare workers, and for what? I can ignore some opinions that I don’t agree with, but I feel it needs to be said that this kind of rhetoric (from a figure that some listen to with bated breath, gobbling up any and all opinions along the way) only serves to reestablish the lack of preparedness that was present pre Covid-19. We’re absolutely fucked if this is how the majority views pandemics and the collective action needed to mitigate their spread.

VanB-Boy 4 life

Returnal has sold less than 2 million copies as of February 2025, so I don’t know why anyone thinks saros was going to sell well. I’d be shocked if it sells 1 million, it’s very much a niche style game.

Xemphanis

Comparing Walmart to PSN is a bad analogy. Excusing that some stores do price match; no, you can’t use Lowe’s money at Walmart. However, if you don’t like one store’s price, you can just go to a different store. If you only own 1 console, and you buy digital games, PS is only giving you 1 option and 1 price. You can only go to another store if you buy a whole other console.

ChaosZwei+5

You can tell difficulty slider people think they deserve to live

ChaosZwei+5

Still the games fault for giving the option. balance it how you want is just a terrible design choice that's you the developers job

Mitch Orobko

What's the difference between picking Easy, Normal, Hard in a game?

ChaosZwei+5

Those are also kind of stupid bc the player will always be stuck thinking if this is the mode they'd be having the most fun on

Paul Knickerbocker

Had the same thought. My wife is a nurse and that was a hard time for anyone working in the medical field. Hospitals were overcrowded and many needlessly died because there weren't enough ventillators to go around. That was the real reason for everything shutting down. They were desperately trying to slow the spread. Many more people would have died if they didn't take those precautions and implement social distancing. Although, seeing people wear masks while driving in a car by themselves always did make me laugh a little. I feel like these comments from Colin are a symptom of him being a self proclaimed recluse and listening to far right pundits. The funny thing is that he voted this time around for the same administration that handled that pandemic.

Joe B

Lol Sony paying for GTA marketing rights is comical. The game is releasing on 2 platforms and 1 isnt even being made anymore. Like what is the point?

Dustin Stasek

Thanks friend! I skipped ahead because I figured it was my write-in... I was like, "Am I taking crazy pills?" You cannot play the game offline if it isn't installed =/ edit: Also, I'm older than Colin.

Tyrone Yhip

Sigh, jesus Im tired of everyone pretending Bioshock infinite is this grand deep game. Its absolutely garbage both, story, lore, gameplay and its mechanics. The greatest Bioshock is 1 and 2. And this isn't revisionist, its what I thought in 2013 and that has grown even more since then. That said im excited for Judas!

Cameron Sturre

I was waiting for this from the moment I heard miller. Insane they didn’t catch this

Addison117

007 everything or nothing and From Russia with love are both really good OG Xbox/PS2 games.

Eric

for real lmao if this is too much stay far away from the snark tank

Supes

I had this thought as well. The difference between buying goods at Wal-Mart and buying goods on the PlayStation store is that Wal-Mart doesn't cost $600 literally just to get into the store. The whole "just go buy it somewhere else" attitude doesn't hold water when the cost of entry alone is that high, especially when a lot of people are having to be pretty price-conscious these days.

Wayde

It's always interesting listening to people that vote republican complain about deregulation or a lack of regulation within an industry. The reason why youtube, along with almost every other gig economy job don't have protections, is the gop. The gop have killed multiple bills that would have regulated industries like uber lyft and youtube

NUTSO JIMBO

Funnily enough, I only really embraced the difficulty slider after nearly dying several times myself. When you're laying in bed with 2 broken legs, unable to walk for ar least 2 months, forced to play Lies of P on a Portal - suddenly difficulty sliders seem like the best thing ever. Especially when they're done well, like in Lies of P

Wayde

Yeah, that little tidbit, annoyed the piss out of me. Acting like it wasn't a worldwide pandemic that killed millions of people is absurd

NUTSO JIMBO

It's not stupid. In Lies of P easy, normal and hard can be changed whenever you want. If the game feels easy, bump it up, if it feels hard, bump it down... It's pretty simple really. In Lies of P there is zero difference between the difficulty settings other than how much damage you take per hit. Everyone experience exactly the same game, same aggression and attack patterns from AI, same tools at your disposal, same level design etc. Changing the difficulty doesn't somehow dramatically change the way that the game plays or the way that you experience it, it's just a slight modification to the amount of damage you receive when hit

Russell Cottrell-Garrett

Not crazy. https://lsmarchive.com/Episode/1341 I wrote that site to solve exactly this problem - admittedly one that maybe 50 people have ☺️ EDIT: thinking about it - maybe not. William played since day one. This other guy came to gaming much later.

Lil Jimmy420

The show causing divorce meme will never get old

WhatDarrenPlays

Regarding Anita Sarkessian; Your focus is on the wrong thing; Sure, people didn't notice her, the game sold well, and people enjoyed the game. Nobody is saying the game is bad now (not that I've seen anyway) It's that she's in the credits, was paid and supported. As you said, she's a massive tourist, and largely seen as destructive to creativity and free expression. Replace the words Anita Sarkessian with Generative AI and you'd feel the same way; doesn't matter if the game was good, it's that they used it/her.

WhatDarrenPlays

Not trying to be an ass but soon enough there will be nobody left playing it to talk about it. They're dipping below 5K players on steam. Less people bought it on PlayStation, so... the writing is on the wall really at this point. Until a few months from now and we get Marathon 2.0 or something.

Black Detective in Dexter

I just think it's getting a little redundant. We get it, Chris is a Bungie fanboy, thus he likes Marathon. And for the one person that's about to write "YoU kNoW ThERe'S tImEsTaMpS". I know, I listen to the podcast in its entirety because I'm an adult.

Virgin Barry

Strong disagree with the Anita Sarkeesian discussion. Just because Sarkeesian’s not an obnoxious public figure anymore doesn’t mean there’s no influence, as we have seen with Devolver’s statement and the fact she was just at GDC. It’s kind of like the “shit in cake” argument that Colin himself uses. Sure the cake (STS2) was good, but I’m not better served by knowing there was shit (Anita) in it after the fact.

Jon Barnett

Anyone else having weird timestamp issues? Mine skipped from the PSN settlement story to the news about Mina the Hollower, and I had no idea until I checked how much time was left in the podcast.

WhatDarrenPlays

On the topic of PS6, first off, there’s no chance it’s coming next year. And you say “they (Sony) would want people to buy PS6’s not 5’s” Why? I can’t see any reason Sony would be eager to push PS6 right now. What’s the benefit? Is it just to get ahead of Helix? The money per user will be the same. Why should they even care if you’re on PS4? As long as you’re engaged on their service and buying games, it’s the same to them. Apple don’t care if everyone is on the latest iPhone, they just care you have an iPhone.

Ryan

If you really really really are referring to your unborn baby as ‘little Colin’ in anticipation of being named by a PlayStation podcast host you really should get off the internet forever.

Conz Wilson

Not to mention crime rates being way down compared to the 1990s.

MnTwinsfan92

So you just leave a comment about your distaste for his excitement about a game, like an adult lol

Beef Burka

Yes, your point about finding out later that a game you liked was made with AI is exactly what I thought when they were discussing that topic. Or, what would their reaction be if they found out a month later that a game they really liked was funded by the Saudi Crown Prince? They often talk about how they judge game development based on their principals, so why are they mystified that other people do as well? They aren't happy that they send money to the Saudi Wealth fund or Saudi Crown Prince, well some other people aren't happy they rewarded a company that knowingly employed a grifter like Sarkesian. Sarkessian is the opposite side of the coin to JTSmash.

DIS-Bee

Goofy goober*

ChaosZwei+5

I still don't think a player should ever feel the need to change settings like that. Ik it's simple but it's also unnecessary in a game with other ways of negating difficultly that are within the game itself. At the very least games like that could also offer harder modes but no it's always easy. How's that really accessible?

AllTooEasy_

Pre MaH tore is fucking crazy.

Disgruntled Citizen

Handgun explosive rounds is incredible to use in saros. Same with the saw gun but the variant that hits the saws back to you.

Beef Burka

Yeah..your car might have better technology, but I doubt very seriously it will last as long as a car from the 90s would last

Johnny Lamotte

It’s obvious why pragmata sold well and idk how this podcast hasn’t read the room yet… (love sacred) but man. We just want good main characters like gears and master chief WHICH CAPCOM HAS GIVEN US. No one wants a wimpy terribly written woke ish characters. I don’t care what anyone says it’s a fact. Just look at the sales. If you make a good game with a solid main character it will sell. People still love video games, but to pay $70 for a weird game with bad writing… not happening for me and many others.

Gabriel Prégent Terborch

Now come on Wayde, every reasonable person knows that both parties are the same... lol

Wayde

Haha sure Well, the gop runs on deregulation and softer regulations to help spur the economy. Gop has killed multiple bills aimed at regulation of the gig economy

C

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who felt uncomfortable during that segment.

Michael McCoy

Well, that’s the second time Colin has missed something relating to Tommy…

Russell Cottrell-Garrett

Bioshock 2 is crazy underrated. From a gameplay perspective I truly think it blows 1 and Infinite away. Story, atmosphere, etc - sure, not quite as good. But, it’s a game, and GAMEplay is awesome.

C

I’d love to get a small sample size of who would buy PS6 day one. I know I personally wouldn’t buy it if it came out next week. Not everyone is going to see this, but if you WOULD buy PS6 day one + a day one exclusive, give this a like.

Subeg

Saros complaints feel like a bunch of nitpicks from people with too much time… if you had less time to play, you would appreciate the changes more :)

ChaosZwei+5

I think the story is also really slept on it feels more grounded and human. The moral choice system is way better than one and choosing to save the little sisters is not only the more difficult choice but made more personal and important by the main character being delta.

Jeff in NOLA

Recover the R&D costs; that would be it

Jeff in NOLA

Apple? That happens to me all the time

Jeff in NOLA

I agree, but from a different standpoint. The inability to read the room on this game the entire time, whether willful or just missing it, does create a slight credibility issue. The audience told Sony by and large they didn’t want this game the entire time and the stats are reflecting that

Nicky Thicky

Im a Dustin stan, but I want to punch him in the dick for that Civilization 7 take

JoshM

I get what you’re saying, but it’s hard to know if it’s intended to be used or not e.g. is the game balanced with that in mind? It’s not as simple as easy/normal/hard which is an option from the outset that affects the entire game, but instead individual modifiers for certain aspects. When there’s a skill tree with stats you pour points into that can fall out of sync with your current progress, are you then supposed to lean into the modifiers? Choosing to say ‘this boss is hard, let me make it easier’ feels cheap and even if it’s optional, is a core system with how it’s presented and thus appears to be an expectation of something you use. So yea I think they’re pretty on point with their judgement tbh

JoshM

So glad I’m not alone regarding Saros. The game is definitely great, but something feels off with difficulty and the stat system and upgrades don’t feel as impactful or choice-driven as the in-run progression that Returnal had. With modifiers asking me to tailor the game to how I want it, it’s hard to know if I’m cheating the system but playing without them and relying on stat upgrades alone didnt feel particularly impactful and leads to me feeling like I’ve got to grind to do better in the next area - though I suppose from that perspective, I appreciate boosting attributes via the modifiers but I’d still prefer the game be designed for a core experience rather than one that may or may not be balanced with modifiers in mind

Derriere's Gentlemen's Club circa 2006

The boys' poor food takes are well documented at this point but holy hell Colin claiming fake ass syrup trumps real maple syrup is next level loco

Josh Kisskalt

Never would have thought Colin would be the one defending corporations on nearly everything lol. Getting old turns us all I guess

Mitch Orobko

And I get what youre saying too but there are multiple games that you can change the difficulty in game at any point for the same reason. The fact that they give you specific things to nerf/buff is a bonus that is completely optional. I just beat the game without touching it. I'm using it now to get the 33 expeditions trophy. I still had the feeling of personal accomplishment this way. In my personal opinion, I don't feel like a game should be scrutinized for giving players options. My biggest argument was Colin saying the game was too easy, then giving the modifier flack, only to literally use it to make the game even easier for himself??.

Wayde

Enjoy the dozens of flipped seats to D It's sad that the courts overturned the will of the people. At least they got to vote unlike lots of red states that did the same thing with no vote

Deemac

Patriotic Murican palate

Deemac

Given I have a Pro already, I'd have to be convinced about getting a PS6 and what will set it apart The handheld though? That's day 1 for me no question, unless it's excessively overpriced. I think that will be a common take among many, as plenty of people would be very interested in a new Sony handheld with that kind of power. The standard PS6 sales might be modest to begin with given the current economic climate and alot of people who aren't eager to upgrade just yet. But I think when you count sales of both that and the handheld together, it'll be another solid launch for PlayStation

Deemac

They'll have done all the prep in the background by next year, and agreements for the various components will have been locked in, it'll just be a matter of actually going ahead with manufacturing by next summer. Any later than potentially pushing to early 2028, and it'll mean they release an out of machine with outdated components. At that point they might as well tear up the build they had agreed on, and start a new. But in that case, they'll lose a huge amount from their R&D costs, and they'll probably have to spend a hell of a lot more on the new components, given the price of things right now To confidently say "There's no way it releases next year" is pretty crazy, theres a reason these companies have these hardware timelines and it's pretty locked in by this stage of the process

Deemac

Good to hear Hoeg is in the mix for the Pragmata conversation, would be great if he wants to do that and is available. I just think that given the games themes, it would be very interesting to get the perspective of a father on the game. I saw the clip of Max Dood where he lost it all of a sudden as it really got to him, and that's saying something for him as that game was a running joke to him for years lol

WhatDarrenPlays

Contracts always have multiple break clauses, either via payment or otherwise. Nobody commits hundreds of millions years in advance without a way of getting out of it, especially with volatile pricing and tumultous world events that could spring out of nowhere. Nothing is ever locked in and their R&D cost is a drop in the ocean compared to alienating their developers by creating a new skew, damaging their brand if it doesn't sell, or risking making a machine that they can't afford to make if prices become more volatile. It's a huge risk. Not to mention the appetite isn't there, develpopers don't even want it, the PS5 is selling very well still (just hit 95m) and they just announced they're reassessing the whole thing right after my post. So we'll see, but it's definitely not gonna be 2027. Maybe fall 2028, but if they do have to redraw their plans and even get new deals on hardware it could be as late as 2029. There absolutely is no rush, the gain nothing by doing this right now.

Beef Burka

I wonder if he has tried the different grades of Maple Syrup, makes a big difference

Wayde

And this is why people don't like talking to maga.

Deemac

Everyone always brings up Nightfire but Everything or Nothing was the shit for me, loved that game

Deemac

I mean I doubt it'll sell a ton but I imagine they still want it to sell more than Returnal (PS sales anyway). Way bigger playerbase at time of release and they clearly developed it with a more approachable game in mind

Deemac

Think I can guess DaddyT's superchat for Monday

Xstar25

We may be absolutely fucked then. As nearly all of my people in my circles, feel the same as Colin.

Supes

I think you have to zoom out from this and accept that a lot of people's understanding of reality (regarding anything- pandemics, politics, culture, etc) has been fragmented since about 2018-2019, and with the technological framework we have in place there's no going back from that. Colin meant what he said about COVID because he's certain it's true, and you mean what you say because you're also certain it's true. Both of you are absolutely certain that your version of reality is correct. I know which one I agree with, but that's not the point—the point is the information age has created a fragmented kaleidoscope of hyperreality in which people's understanding of existence is almost completely individuated and subjective. There is no "persuading," there is no "arguing"- there is only a barrier between people who see things different ways, and so long as social media and the internet exists, that barrier will never be destroyed, ever. to put it more succinctly: Metal Gear Solid 2 predicted all this.

GoofyCrazyRaccoon

I’ll cling onto hope since you’re just one anecdote, and I have another that feels the opposite.

GoofyCrazyRaccoon

That’s certainly true and I understand that, but I’d argue that there’s still a logical conclusion to come to when dealing with pandemics. The conclusion is caution. Going around and acting like it’s okay to disregard future health crises because one situation went awry is illogical. The real issue is that people love to look at things as black and white (I don’t think this is Colin, really). It was either entirely a farce or completely real. People need to exercise uncertainty when dealing with all things in life; if we’re uncertain weather a virus is killing millions of people or it’s just a massive conspiracy, I think we’d rather assume the former than the latter, no? I do have some uncertainty surrounding that entire situation, but my general conclusion is that it was real and I’d rather we all lean that way so humanity doesn’t die out. Cheers

Cole Phelps Sends Babies To Jail

I completed Saros last night without using modifiers (other than one for lucenite being collected from a larger distance just for the expedition 33 trophy) I never grinded from a previous area to get better equipped for the current areas boss, the upgrades at primary end up being so OP especially for your power recharge and proficiency gain that short runs can get you well equipped for each boss. It took me maximum two attempts on each boss and I probably grinded some lucenite out twice during my whole playthrough completing it at 25 hours. The repeater crossbow and erupter pistol are the most OP guns in the game I found along with smart rifle because of its auto-aim

Save The Game Media

“Nearly every game” This is just unequivocally false

The Incredible Shulk

I mostly agree with Chris' take on only using the Machine Guns in Saros....except for the Repeater Crossbow. That thing is crazy OP against bosses when using Alt Fire (the homing missiles)

Alan

The only people I hear complaining about games being too easy are those who have all the time in the world to play.

Unemployable troon

Why is there always someone who finds the need to show up and defend that they got Goyop’d by the last plandemic. Just triple mask yourself in your car alone on your way to your 17th booster shot quietly lmao

GoofyCrazyRaccoon

Reasoning and logic have left your brain. Go outside

Gooch Gobbler

I hope one day someone loves me as much as Colin Moriarty loves corporations

Unemployable troon

I will, you stay inside so the new virus doesn’t get you. Make sure you’re triple masked up, wouldn’t wanna risk it

GoofyCrazyRaccoon

Read my other replies and add some uncertainty to your life. It’ll do you some good. The world is incredibly grey

Pan Ic

Not, I dont respectfully the bag. Not from Anita nor anyone doing scummy/grifting actions. Goes for both sides ofc.

Joseph Cerini

Few issues boys: First, Sony had their cake and ate it too with Bond because they Co produced the Daniel Craig Bond movies and owned MGM during those Bond movies. This is not the case anymore since MGM was bought by Amazon. Second, getting tired of this physical games conversation, Sony wants to push people to digital because of a lots of reasons but most of all, it's the future. Sales reflect this, and ultimately Sony has a business to run. It doesn't make them the bad guy, it's just how the world is currently. This is also reflected in movies, and music. People just don't care and convince is more important in today's society. Whether that is a good is a completely different conversation.

I’m all for difficulty options, and I play most games on Easy to get through them quicker. If I like it enough I’ll replay it someday but yeah, out of all the Soulslike games, Lies of P is probably the only one I’ll end up buying because they added an Easy mode. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Maybe but GTA itself isn’t one of those games hence why it’s console release only at launch.

Listening to Colin talk about Returnal, I have zero doubt that if Fromsoftware were a Sony first party studio, Colin would love their games

Are you serious… Go look at the whole d4vid situation. It’s wild enough! How are you not already feeling "if yah don’t laugh, you’ll cry" at the world right now? Seriously… If you weren’t trying to cancel him you wouldn’t have mentioned that either..

Do you like fish sticks?

I'm here because Chris mentioned y'all got mad at this on Snark Tank. Just wanted to see if it was true lmao

Thinks it’s weird to sue to prevent monopolization is wild

Hot take from Colin. I very much dislike BioShock. Rather bland and boring
