They are a valid statistic that demonstrates interest. It is the second most popular social media site. In the US over 90% of internet users age 18 to 44 visit YouTube. Statistics show that 62 percent of businesses use YouTube as a channel to post video content. YouTube analytics of which views are a part have shown themselves to be quite reliable and with hundreds of millions to over a billion dollars on the line google has exercised enormous effort to insure the accuracy of that particular ...

It is still a theory. You are assuming MLB said screw the carrot and went right to the stick. It remains an assumption and you know what they say about those...

"A fluid and well thought out UI sounds like a much better time spent..."

And that is precisely what has been implemented on the PS5. No one in their right mind is going to deny Sony knocked it out of the park and set the standard.

What happened to it? Good gamers shouldn't have to be the ones to always lessen their experience because of jerks. Leaving a party or kicking a player or muting them only solves the symptom, not the problem. This move by Sony goes right to the heart of the problem. It is a jerk spray that is long overdue.

If you are in a private party talking crap with your friends and they report you, guess what? Not your friends after all.

Really funny. The First look at the PS5 User expereince just premiered. On the PS Youtube channel it already has 8.6M views. HALO Infinite only has 1.2M on the Xbox Channel. The PS5 Hardware reveal was 4 months ago and has almost 34M views. The World Premier trailer for the series X was 10 months ago and only has 14 Million views.

@Digitally,Afflicted

An excellent point.

And apparently some people are too blind to see that because this AFFECTS the trolls, it AFFECTS the gamers...in a most positive manner.

And with that its time to put COG Connected on my Hosts file...

Bingo. On point.

If they are not recording your voice you can't opt out of something they do not have. Perhaps you are asking to opt out of other players recording your voice. If this was available then the very jerks this is designed to remove would just opt out. Now if opting out meant that such individuals could employ neither voice nor text chat then that would be fine. But you can't create a system designed to eliminate the scum of the community then give them permission to get around it.

What P-Bomb stated. Lately it seems Sony has taken a position that titles do not require multiplayer for Platinum when it is a SP or SP/MP 1st party title. So happy for that. First party games from Sony really nail trophy hunting. The last time I looked, Spider-Man had an 11% Platinum Trophy rate. Think about that. This means that 1 in 10 players said I love this game enough to push for the Platinum. That is actually pretty high and a mark of quality.

Agreed this is a good thing. If people are acting appropriately then they have nothing about which to be concerned. If they say someone is a worthless player, still nothing. Its when we get into that situation we have all encountered online where there is an adolescent of undetermined age (could be 14 or 40) and they are just having a go at someone, or you, or anyone by spewing the worst crap in the world. Those people are due more than a mute button. The mute button solves the symptom but no...

The idea of proper research is within the instincts of any reasonably intelligent gamer. The site making this video? Not so much. Considering their name it is a bit ironic to say the least.

That attempt at extortion can be recorded too. The point is the individual shouldn't have been acting like a jackass in the first place, and thus there will be no leverage. Put the blame where it belongs, on these troglodytic adolescents. Anyone that is a decent gamer should have no concerns.

I do not see the issue here. It is player recorded and player submitted. If someone is going to be a continual jerk there should be consequences. To quote that modern day philosoph...

Christopher,

The public perception and the news that affects such continually paints a less than rosy picture. There hasn't really been a bright star since the game launched. As I mentioned in a recent post the player count is on life support. I have little doubt that matters are as you mentioned in your edit. Eidos and SE are now looking to simply cut their losses and bow out as gracefully as possible considering the circumstances, while moving developers on to another...

Ha ha that busted me up :)

Gaming is an experience. From the moment you sit down until you turn off whatever device you are using. Everything, everything feeds into that experience whether you are conscious of it or not. Being conscious of something that impacts you in a subtle way is not the same as being unable to tell the difference.

It is becoming readily apparent that the 12TF mike drop isn’t what Microsoft claimed it would be.

I traded in one Pro already. My second one is going in the day before launch. I thought I didn't own any of the non b/c titles but I actually have Robinson in my inventory but since I had forgotten about it already I do not see myself missing it.

And the hits just keep coming...

It’s a feature that doesn’t make the game less to the human eye, that is inconsequential to your enjoyment of the game. They are both matters of resolution. So if people can make an issue of one, so they can with the other.

We’ll be updating the UI before launch.

What does that even mean? People are assuming resolution suddenly but that phrase more likely means something else.
