@jamesbr27: You may not give a damn, but I would *love* to be able to replay certain of my old Atari games, especially the ones that were on floppy disk; Atari 2800 was my very first console, and I'd still have it intact if my dad hadn't got rid of the disk drive.
@gotrekfabian: "Ask [my] parents", seriously? So now we know how old *you* are. And how profoundly ignorant about money, if you think a reduction to half price means everybody can afford a PS4 now.
Equally ignorant about PS+ game availability for PS3, too, it would seem, since it's had proportionally far more indie & cheap games than PS+ for PS4 has had over the years. The ONLY reason PS3 users have had some better games is because the program has been running so long and there are only so many C-grade games out there.
Oh, and for the record (not that I actually care what *you* think, since you seem to stalk me across multiple comment sections just to act like a mardy twelve-year-old), I got PS+ in the first place purely for the automated cloud backup functions. Later to play Minecraft and Tekken MP - not much else. PS4 users get a lot more out of it now than PS3 users do, though the Vita games seem to still be good for the most part. Which is why this is ridiculous and your silly hardware argument is irrelevant.
@gotrekfabian: *eyerolling* That whooshing sound? Was my point going way over your head. I have plenty of good games, and a ridiculous backlog. The issue is that PS3 users get less for the PS+ subscription than PS4 users do, but still have to pay the same price. And that is not balanced or fair at this point.
Getting fed up with the lousy selections for PS3. I know Sony want to push people on to their newer console, but they ought to at least be fair to those of us who are paying the same subscription price as PS4 users but not yet ready or able to upgrade. =/
@bugsplatreport: How on earth is that relevant to this post?
Also, I don't know about *your* country, but in *mine*, plenty of working people get welfare payments - in fact, if you discount the pensioners, *most* of our welfare bill goes to people who are low-paid workers! So don't trash-talk stuff and situations you know nothing about.
Btw... try learning to use the correct words for your sentence - that should be "bear", not "bare", unless you're working nude and I *really* hope you're not.
@Barighm: Oh, I don't know. A rather large chunk of existing FF fandom wouldn't touch XV with a bargepole. I still haven't. I didn't even download the demo, though I've been a devoted FF fan for twenty years.
So much stupidity in the comments of this post. Sadly I am not remotely surprised by it, simply disgusted.
If I didn't enjoy actually gaming as much as I do, I'd have ditched the whole community years ago: there are entirely too many toxic asshats around here. So I'm hardly surprised that some game studios wind up being just as bad, when so few gamers in certain overprivileged sociological groups have or show the remotest scrap of respect for others, even in basic interactions.
That "30-something single guy living in his parents' basement" stereotype didn't start up out of nowhere. Unfortunately.
As for Cage claiming that having worked with Ellen Page makes him enlightened and not homophobic, as I recall it was someone Ellen was working with who chose to out her as a lesbian as a teenager, before she was ready to talk about it, and IIRC he went on to sexually harass her. So that REALLY isn't a workable excuse, Dave, least of all in this particular instance! =P
As for the commenters here who don't understand the problem with workplace "flirting" ... if your boss or someone above you in the work hierarchy is the one hitting on you, the dynamic is uneven: a worker can often feel pressured into accepting kisses or putting up with being groped without complaining because they're afraid they'll lose their job if they do, and far too many people in management *have* proved themselves to be vindictive even if the worker only turned them down without ever going to HR.
@Xylymphydyte: Apologies, not quite phrased as I intended; I haven't had a lot of sleep. I meant to say "willing to be potentially blamed for inciting the attempted murder", or what would in some countries be regarded as negligent homicide/manslaughter. Might be less convoluted an explanation now I've had time to nap? =P
