It's mostly yes, I am not a regular, frequent or even a occasional poster here. The reputation you see here are entirely from Playstation fans. MC create threads are very helpful to people who comes in with genuine curiosity, however the uninformed drivebys get met with mockery. You may call that fault of the community. Also I agree that this place is not very friendly to Playstation fans but so is the market. Wiiu had gone through similar phases during its heyday.

ACL (73706533)

The narrative in Western media is quite clear, painting Playstation as the undisputed market leader worldwide, that actual information is available that clearly demonstrates the opposite in certain markets is a thorn to a lot of eyes. Even Microsoft/Xbox has to deal with this unfair treatment, despite of their immense financial resources. That's also a reason that quite a few people would like less data and would be even favourable for MediaCreate Threads to disappear just to push their misleading marketing narrative with no contradiction . Because with verifiable data you can call out, misleading narrative. That there seems to be a push to position specific corporations and their leaders above criticism is very unfortunate. You can criticise Nintendo and Xbox all you want in many threads, but IT IS obvious where often the actual lines are drawn and it's obvious to whose favour and whose detriment these lines are drawn, there is a clear parttern.

Delusibeta (73706221)

Not gonna lie, it's hard to read the staff post as anything other than endorsement for the pro-PlayStation trolling that's been plaguing this thread for a while.

Raijinto (73704934)

Yep, quick search for 'Media Create' under a few users that I can think of can back this up quite well. Again, not mentioned at all. Also I question the 'I really, really, reeeealllly want to comment her but the hostility keeps putting me off' claim(s) ITT, it's nonsense. Even as someone who hasn't commented much recently, MC threads have been 'fine' for months and months now (there have of course been bans but there are bans in every thread, referring mainly to the tone here), I could easily say just pick out week 9's MC thread of this year without even checking and I would be very confident there was not even a single ban, let alone a wave of them, at least from the 'regulars'. We all know the real reaon why you don't comment much and why you only cropped up when the bahhammer was swinging in your favour. Well let's see if you keep your word now that things have taken effect... (lol of course not).

Beautiful, naked, big-titted women just don't fall out of the sky, you know.

Tovarisc (73737250)

Don't worry about it. We still have hype threads for Sony and MS 1st party etc. so Acti-Blizz hype is safe.

JoJo'sDentCo (73737064)

I hope this doesn’t mean less hype threads for their games though. Resetera has a responsibility to keep the hype going for Acti-Blizz.

EloKa (73737136)

I really hope Era Mods are going to overthink this "all publishers / devs are equally bad so we won't shut down Blizzard hype threads" stance. Because Acti/Blizz is obviously way worse.

Dr.Ifto (73755181)

Most likely the guy was let go for other reasons but just wants to drum shit up cause he doesn't get the respect he wants. dude is probably an asshole in real life. Not everyone let go for unknown reasons is a saint. In all seriousness, As a developer, never do anything for free. Also, you are not entitled to anything you developed working for a company. They own it, you do not. You are not entitled to anything. This is why we need unions.

Space Lion (72452035)

A few months ago I made a thread. For whatever reason, it was closed. These feelings have not gone away. Full disclosure it has nothing to do with social media. It's about art, specifically black art. I used to think that the reason we don't see black artists that speak on things is because we just aren't afforded the opportunity. Increasingly, however, I'm starting to think it's because many black creators put themselves in boxes and only speak on blackness. I live in NYC and am an artist. I am being mentored by a renown black artist. He is schooling me in the biz. I have began to build a professional and creative network and a lot of them are black and their work is almost always, universally, typified by their blackness. It's so banal and ubiquitous here that it feels like a giant fucking grift, where talent isn't rewarded so much as being black is. A lot of the work in my network is really sub standard. Like one collective in the local area that has been making rounds talks almost nothing of social issues. Their main thing is blackness. Here in Brooklyn, the Brooklyn Museum is opening an exhibit to show Obama's Presidential portrait. How is this group going to commemorate it? By making portraits of people surrounded by trees to mimic the overall aesthetic of Obama's portrait. That's it. Using one persons art as a basis to make money. This is just one spurious example. I notice people of races don't do this shit and if they do they are smart to not make it the totality of their artistic identity. They realize that there's wisdom in having an oeuvre that works for people of different backgrounds. So much black art boils down to "Hey, I'm black." It's so fucking boring. The worst part is how black artists are cajoled into this corral of creative stagnancy. I fear that if my career goals line up, I'll still be forced by my bosses to only make pictures pertaining to blackness. What about the recent Afghan situation? What about the War on Terror? What about the ripple effects that has on views on military? Or Islam/Muslims? I'm really interested in the sociology of what makes us human and the webs that we are connected to, and too often it feels like this is an attitude only afforded by non-black artists. Take a look at a lot of black art and it often feels copied and pasted. I'm again, convinced it's a grift for many. I go to exhibit after exhibit and it's almost always the same. Meanwhile the non-black people get to tell cool, diverse stories and they're not obsessed with their identities even if they're people of color. This doesn't mean they have no pride of where they come from, but they seem just as interested in telling stories about people who like them as much as they are interested in telling stories about people that are. It's getting hard to hold back my tongue and just flat out say,"your work sucks and your blackness is the only reason you're here. Please tell us something about you besides your blackness." You can see this is dynamic in the pop culture. Like how they replace characters that are historically white with a black version of that character rather than making a unique black character. It's as if black art is constrained to a specific plane and if you go outside of it you're going to get tomatoed. I'm not saying speaking truth to power and articulating your blackness has no value. But creatively, is that all there is? So your answer to white people making art that features only white people is to make art that only features black people? And you live in New York City? How could you, reliably, critique white peoples pastiche that limits this world to a select race if you're doing the same? I'm really, really scared I'll make my career goals of working for the New York Times or AP or something, and they only give me black stories where I'm just pigeon holed. To counter this, I've started to distance myself almost entirely with the movement and black art. I'm in the process of making my own collective and unlike other collectives ran by black people I've decided to make it non-black. The first guy I recruited, my co-partner, is a straight white man. The goal of the collective is find diverse voices where we can tell stories visually in a high level manner. I'm really trying to build a group of people from diverse backgrounds: black, brown, Muslim, Jewish, Asian, Latino, Arab, LGBTQ, Native;etc. even white as long as they have something to say and don't reduce their messages to just identity politics. I told someone I know about joining my collective. He's a black man. He told me no because he wants to focus only black issues. It's always like this. It's as if that's all they have to say. The worst part of black arts limited dynamics is that it teaches white people that black people are just victims. More than that, it teaches black kids that blackness is a fashion statement. In the end, we all lose. Here's a picture to close this out.

Fuck off.

Calvinien (73733059)

Voting your conscience is -by definition- wasting your vote. Arguably it's the only guaranteed way to do so. The vote does not care about your conscience. The ONLY thing that matters in an election, is who holds power after it is over. You either vote in such a way as to ensure the best outcome or you don't. If your vote helps keep the Con/PPC out, you did right. if it does anything else instead, the vote was wasted. You don't get extra good boy points for voting for someone who has no chance of winning and helping the bad guys win instead. In fact is kindof makes you a dick because you are prioritizing your ego over the well being of others.

NeoZeedeater (73717858)

The five separatist shitheads so far are weird to see but otherwise, yes.

solidussnaku (73731310)

Gets even worse, someone said on this very site they wouldn't turn in their own kid short of them being an active terrorist, so the litany of depraved sick crimes someone might commit if they aint a terrorist a ok in their books, and ever so slightly pivoted to say that they would then give them 'a few days head start' and then tell the family. Not even doing the basic decent step to inform the police, as if the millimetre change is somehow fucking ok. Fucking sickos on this site. This site is becoming a lost cause, if not already has moved over to being one.

Rodrigues solitaire (73709659)

It's very ironic that the salt that was palpable in here after the successful Tales of Arise reviews is what brought down this thread.

Colonel Mustard (73708900)

The bore is completely right about this place

Yunyo (73709020)

The usual actors trying to pretend that this isn't one big cover thread to call companies that don't support your favorite Nintendo console dumbasses is not fooling anybody. It is essentially port begging and a dumb "secret club" jerkoff session disguised with code language. Trying to act like the thread was some holy sanctum under constant assault from Playstation fans is not helping your case at all. And don't try to paint it as "market realities". That would not come close to justifying the silly, childishly aggressive fanboy behavior I've seen in here. Hopefully the guidelines work, if people haven't been put off enough by the usual stench of not so slick dogpiling platform fanboys tiptoeing around language they know will get them banned. Here's to the guidelines working out.

a11244 (73706878)

Now news, Resetera mod will never change anything and will ban anyone who dare to criticize them. See you at Etika thread. It’s that same shit all over again.

Joule (73725631)

nintendo likes money nintendo understands their fans are gaming’s biggest suckers brainstorm release the same console 4 years later with a 720 pen tile oled display and an ethernet jack for more money ??? profit

ProstatePuncher (73708438)

And Street Fighter has input shortcuts for doing shoryuken inputs. You can just do a double down-forward input and hit punch and viola, Ryu will shout one of his trademark attacks. You gonna say thats not competitive now? Is it only competitive if its fully assists off? Stop being so stupid for one second.

storres (73710769)

Just got caught up with the MC drama. All I'm going to say is that the wrong people got banned. One or two got too personal, but the rest are just wrong. Hope Chris comes back. Anyways, let's see if the Direct is announced on a day that ends in Y ( in the English Language) this week.

Instro (73707046)

Just say the top 10 games are actually all PS5 titles.

Shemhazai (73708066)

Damn that Media Create thread is a fucking trainwreck. Didn't realise how toxic that thread was. There are people practically complaining that they aren't allowed to treat people like shit anymore.

Redshirt (73631350)

U.S. will be vastly richer than China and India for both of our lifetimes. Your strike me as an idiot.

Seems like both Shang Chi actors aren’t that great of people or have old skeletons in their closet. It’s a shame.

FatalT (73701070)

Kinda weird looking at the post counts and histories of the couple of members in this thread that are super excited about playing this.

XboxEra too.

HK-47 (73705207)

These types of sweeping guidelines have worked out so well in the past and will definitely fix things. *looks at PC Era, AsiaEra and Trans Era* I just don’t have any faith in that.

Seiez (73704979)

And that this all was started because a mod seemingly is affiliated with a developer (in whatever form) took grievance to people criticizing said developer by talking down to posters and mocking them for not understanding the language or having to read a book (which the mod seemingly hasn't read either). The provided translation did almost nothing to change the perception of a poor take from the developer, but the mod took the whole situation to double down and went full scorch earth on the community.

Soul Lab (73704232)

Wth is the mod team doing? ….

squall23 (73704529)

TransEra after sweeping improvements: gone AsianEra after sweeping improvements: gone The worst part is that those communities at least had a few mods that were fighting them. We don't have that luxury here.

Kanann (73705108)

Thread need moderation. But the direction of moderation to please the discord planet is hilarious instead of prioritize ERA community itself. And can I insult CVX here? you lurking for like 200 years here since GAF and before Jesus walk on water but still pull this out? Even Nibel and Zhuge was better than that without not making dad/mom jokes. ps. Ishaan did nothing wrong tho, but he getting use, I guess.

mazi (73704877)

it's clear whoever asked for that one didn't like chris occasionally posting about shipments and stock.

Kiria (73704904)

I don’t know how can anyone say this with a straight face lol.. we had that racist 343 person that didn’t get perma’d until a whole community push the mods to perma ban him plus we still have another person close with the admins/mods that had multiple bans bout racisim and if that’s any another user they would have been perma’d a long time ago

DrWong (73702426)

Wow banning Chris is like having the bad guys winning in the movie at the end. Old place vibes, not a good feeling. And also:

Thank you for the input, user with a low post history despite being created at the site’s founding that only posted in an MC thread once the entire time.

Juryvicious (73676674)

That's all there is to it. Who cares about WW performance, there are specific threads that cater about those territories. You outright said Tales of Arise had a successful launch, in a Japanese sales thread, , and couldn't be further from the truth. And for you or anyone to state it's fine due to good sales elsewhere removes any discussion as to why it's sales are poor in relation to how the series has performed in its homeland, in its homeland sales thread. All I see are excuses.

AViewtifulMind (73610782)

It's not like an extension to the global scale changes anything in a significant way. Switch has won 33 NPD months straight, so in North America it's once again third parties who would need Nintendo more than Nintendo needs them. While Nintendo isn't quite as successful in Europe as elsewhere in the world, the same applies to the Japanese third party companies we are talking about. So once again we have the very same scenario where it would be more urgent for third parties to put games on Switch than for Nintendo to moneyhat more third party games. So overall I am not sure where exactly you want to go with this. Perhaps I misjudged you and you actually have an ulterior motive along the lines of "All you guys are saying that Nintendo is winning, but are they really winning when many of the big games are still skipping their platform?" That may be why it's going in circles.

Turbowaffles (73686094)

All the cowards who defended this guy and implored everyone to give him and his parents the benefit of the doubt in lieu of showing common sense and human decency, you are clearly wrong and need to own up to the bullshit you spouted. Get in here and explain yourselves, and show the qualities you clearly lacked during this whole thing. I don't care if this gets me in trouble I am so mad right now. I feel awful for Gabby's family and may she herself find peace, where ever she is.

Iorek Byrnison (73686178)

I got called a keyboard warrior and told to fuck off because I said any parent that defends and hides a murderer is scum.

Primethius (73686463)

RIP Gabby. And fuck everyone who turned off their brains and defended Brian like any of the nonsense they were spouting made any sense. Congrats on your free fucking defense of a murderer. Be sure to list that as a proud life accomplishment.

liberal capitalism wont survive climate change: it's completely failed to take any action to do so and is in fact running backwards from the starting line. Liberal capitalism collapses into one of two things: socialism or fascism. With those options I know which one I pick, obviously you've decided which one you prefer as well...

Ghgghggh (71066358)

The only sustainable level of technology is that of the "stone age." We have to de-industrialize. The only technology we should favor is that which aids the living natur rejuvenate. Are you ready to give up your video games ? I am.
