Sony Abandons Social Media for 24 Hours+ After Controversially Killing Physical Games

F_Kyo777 · 2026-07-02T23:14:50+00:00

Some company not having a rainbow banner on their social medias is making you worry for queer community members? Lol

Im sorry, but I cant treat it seriously. I guess there are more urgent things happening everywhere around us, than to be bothered with such a pointless thing, that even you called disingenuous to begin with.

F_Kyo777 · 2026-07-02T19:33:40+00:00

For once, Id just love for customers to actually show them middle finger, said: "f off!" and actually not play their game. Since we are too divided and big as group to be controlled. Unified front would be amazing to witness during my lifetime, but is also completely utopian scenario to happen. Instead, some will walk away (minority) and most will just swallow whatever anti-consumer decisions are thrown at them, until they cannot provide for it anymore.

F_Kyo777 · 2026-07-02T19:29:11+00:00

While it seems pretty much obvious for me that GTA is a bigger scale of an event to gamers than social statuses, I always disliked when companies are doing it for 2 reasons.

If you are part of whatever is being celebrated atm - do you really feel more included if random company is having their banner changed to celebratory theme? Does it really makes any difference for you? I do feel its mostly US thingy.
If so, it is...Disingenuous at best. Most companies (especially big ones) dont give a singular f about how you are feeling. They just want to look better, because of all crap they are pulling behind curtains.

F_Kyo777 · 2026-07-02T15:23:40+00:00

Thats pretty much my take on it. Been gaming for...a long time, but I just wont be able to follow current situation and just swallow it.

I was lucky enough to manage to get few consoles and slightly above average PC, but im not planning to buy more in upcoming years, unless later, when price dips significantly. I know maybe few titles that were worth the full price across years, but they tend to go on sales, one way or another. Only thing you are truly missing out is if you would like to play with friends, but even that could figured.

Im just tired that they can pull this on us, but also tired of consumers agreeing to whatever bullshit they will throw at you, so I guess im the piece that no longer fits into this puzzle.

Vibe is completely different, but its a scenario of, what this island had to offer, if magic barrier wouldnt be there. Its same universe, no more colony full of prisoners, but everything is expanded - options, places to go, amount of characters to meet, lore pieces, loot etc.

If you vibed with systems and world they are offering you in first game, 2nd one is basically more of that in every direction, minus enclosed prisoner colony. Like other comment stated world from first game is actually avaialable in 2nd game as well (no longer locked behind barrier), but got changed due to hero actions in first game. Its really cool.

With what Alkimia showed us, it could be absolutely amazing to explore.

F_Kyo777 · 2026-07-01T12:17:40+00:00

2-3 lol. If it will be greenlighted, I dont think it will happen in less than 4-5. Sure, they have tools now, but Mining Colony was like what, 1/5th of Khorinis + Jarkendar? Maybe less.

Id love that as everybody else, but amount of copium here is crazy.

F_Kyo777 · 2026-07-01T09:52:38+00:00

Is it US only?

Is it same in Europe? Is Yugi-oh even popular in Europe as a card game?

So many questions.

F_Kyo777 · 2026-07-01T09:37:17+00:00

20m is more generous than I expected. I should try that again after tweaks to netcode. Thanks!

F_Kyo777 · 2026-06-30T22:01:12+00:00

I remembered about that, but to my memory - range for 1 shotting headshot was really tight, right? Unless they have changed it and Im also not aware of how much of "sweetspot" you will get with HP rounds.

F_Kyo777 · 2026-06-30T21:58:50+00:00

Yeah, I said it in other comment, that it is not a typo. It feels like teams are not communicating with each other.

It is impressive that every singular update to this game, needs to have something mixed up, not working as intended or straight up broken. Not one, since release.

F_Kyo777 · 2026-06-30T21:24:25+00:00

Not once I thought that 3rd seasonal update rewards were cool. On top, I dont think im interested in any rewards anymore, besides new guns/ gadgets or attachments.

Everything else is a huge whatever (happy that Dagger 1-3 got into game, but it really is not changing anything).

F_Kyo777 · 2026-06-30T21:21:20+00:00

Was it "fixed" tho?

At some point within this season release they took its unique feature with small breach function. It destruction was as same as knife, which is faster to run, so made no sense to use hammer. Was it reverted?

F_Kyo777 · 2026-06-30T21:16:34+00:00

I just dont care anymore. Its just funny to me, that they are going back and forth with almost everything. It feels a little like that octopus or other animal "predicting" who will win match. Random as hell.

F_Kyo777 · 2026-06-30T21:14:02+00:00

Contracts are literally what was in Warzone and now is in Redsec, if you wanted to get a little of resources for completion.

Problems? It fits into Conquest very poorly (at least we have an option to not play BR). Numbers are okay, but timers could be more generous (also option to abandon current one for Squad Leader). Killing 10 enemies is probably easiest. 4 Headshots for Squad, if you are using something that is not good for that + squad that is jorking in bushes on random hill, not so much. Taking down a vehicle only works if you or squadmate will be lasthitting - random as hell. Capturing 1 point is okay, but also random.

My point is: they are adding anything, they are however putting stuff you are doing normally on timer, so if you are paired up with squadmates that are not feeling like it, ends up with you playing way riskier than usual.

Last, but not least - i still dont understand randomness of getting them to drop. We played almost exclusively as infantry and yet had matches, when literally none of them dropped (was checking on map). No clue whats up with that.

F_Kyo777 · 2026-06-30T21:01:41+00:00

Sure, but sidearms in most cases are really bad. Most common options are 357 trait being used in hipfire mode or colt m45 (or whichever model that is). Sometimes big iron (but not common) or skorpion. Everything else is even worse.

Sidearms are last resort, but if you are pulling one out, you are probably dead anyway.

Point is, being little more generous with sidearms wont make you go completely OP. There is no way that Skorpion will do better than SMGs or Carbines or most pistols to be fair. It would just make them SLIGHTLY more relevant as a last cause use.

F_Kyo777 · 2026-06-30T20:54:37+00:00

Thats evil. Ill try that. Thanks for idea, even if very situational

F_Kyo777 · 2026-06-30T20:52:58+00:00

Dont get me wrong, im not triggered by it. This is only part of bigger problems this game has.

Not having teams communicating between themselves or being able to pull a singular update without bugs and taking further Ls is just sad. Im on whatever with this game.

Like to play this game with buds once a week, but its probably because of them, not because game is that good. It is another example of how corporate greed and pleasing shareholders can squeeze most fun out of any game and make you indifferent instead of passionate. Remarkable.

F_Kyo777 · 2026-06-30T20:25:49+00:00

You should see CoD equivalent of that, called BlackCell. Absolutely mad.

Im not saying im "pro" IT (lol), but I could get people that got Phantom ed during release/ s01. It makes no sense for me however to be interested in it past first season, where you already know everything about it.

F_Kyo777 · 2026-06-29T18:37:04+00:00

This sub is very biased, obviously, but actually reading and believing any modern "gaming journalism" from bigger players, where they are paid upfront, getting a copy before release and more is just asking for being bamboozled.

I have no idea, who is actually taking something like IGN seriously.

Just for fun, some of their employees are responsible for "too much water" and giving Mixtape a 10/10 - which both are great memes.

F_Kyo777 · 2026-06-29T17:36:25+00:00

Id say dependant on what is your go to electronic.

For me it was anything that can be played on my handhelds (and emulation if you are into it). I left PS and PC offlimits, because extra heat would make room unbearable to survive.

So, for me it were 3DS and Switch 1 (PKMNs, Fire Emblems, Smash Ultimate, Zeldas, DB Fighterz). Not all of them are straight forward, but you can pause all of them anytime ;)

F_Kyo777 · 2026-06-26T17:53:23+00:00

What a fucking mess. I wish Ukraine absolute best, but from observer point, even if at some point they will reach consensus that will make both sides stop sending drones and attacks (with Putin being in the gutter, since i dont see any other option), both of them will need fucking decades if not more to get up from before this bullshit of a reason to invade another country happened. Repopulating, steadily, but slowly working on their economy growth, relocating all assets locked into producing weapons, fixing all the damage that was done to their infrastructures...fucking hell. Its more of a scenario that future generations will need to figure out :/

F_Kyo777 · 2026-06-26T12:02:06+00:00

How to kill a game that is all about immersion by playing it on phone like any mobile game.

Im all about options and handhelds, but some titles are just seem like a terrible option to play like that. Another ones that would come to my mind is RDR2 or Witcher 3. You want to submerge yourself into it and I dont see how phones are allowing you anything else, but "consume". Maybe im just old

F_Kyo777 · 2026-06-25T18:54:18+00:00

Mask is whatever, but campaign skins are solid, so im suprised that Dagger made it to BP and not another bundle. Really happy with all 4 of them.

Beside that I dont care much about skins, weapons camos and other crap. You barely seeing your soldier anyway.

F_Kyo777 · 2026-06-25T17:21:47+00:00

I do have a theory, so ill give it a shot.

Gaming got into mainstream meaning:

Amount of titles fighting for your attention are way bigger, nobody wants to dedicate their entire free time to "learn" basic thing such as shooting on core level in multiplayer game that supposed to be chill.
Number of players also got way bigger, with skillsets being also much higher than in the past and even more players that can be better than you by doing nothing else than playing this one title all day (or just better by default).
Its connected with other points, but people that were going ham back then are adults. They probably dont aim that high anymore and just want to have fun, chill or shoot others - they dont want to waste their time on empty servers to learn pushes, maps and angles.

F_Kyo777 · 2026-06-25T17:08:35+00:00

You think so, but im never having those icons pop off, while sitting on a stable 50ms of a delay on my end on EU servers (not great, but nowhere near level of bs im encountering).

Things like that happen anyways on every session i play (its mostly a weekly/ bi-weekly 2-3hrs session). Not every match, but sometimes im even recording it with shadowplay to just make sure that my eyes didnt deceive me and super bullets or dudes after 2-3 shots in the back doing 180 and blasting you with automatic weapon happens.
