Lifelong PS fan, the State of Play a few days ago have finally convinced me Sony is cooked this generation. Is that really what Sony thinks constitutes a massive showcase? Most of the good stuff can be played elsewhere & aside from Tokon, the PS exclusive games they did show are just more of the same shit.

I’m so exhausted with the “cinematic” over-the-shoulder games that try so hard to emulate movies & feel tailor-made for game journos while exclusive series I loved from PlayStation & are why I loved the platform to begin with like Sly, Infamous & Killzone are just left to rot.

I’m so exhausted with the constant trend of iconic male PlayStation protagonists being sidelined for female ones & shit like Saros, which I would never have bought if I knew it was going to be another lecture about a toxic man & how the women in their lives are better without men. Let’s be real. Aloy is NEVER getting sidelined for a white guy because she’s PlayStation’s poster girl for female protagonists. Sony would get too much bad press from the audience they’re trying to chase to let that happen.

I’m so exhausted with being constantly moralised to by shills who use the most disingenuous arguments & clearly see the hobby I love & games I enjoy as pawns in a wider culture war when all I want is to play good video games. I don’t have a problem with female characters in the slightest. I main Chun-Li in every Street Fighter game & have been waiting for Sakura to be added to SF6 since launch. I literally just ordered the collector’s edition for the new Tomb Raider. I’m just sick of having everything changed for the sake of people who clearly hate the fanbase & want to further their own agendas.

I played Astro Bot a while back & that game gave me a faint hope for the PlayStation of old to make a comeback but the State of Play just killed all that hope. Sony has abandoned their core audience & now wants to make games for people who hate games. You were all right, PlayStation is cooked & the move to California was a disaster.
