XboxEra Community Hangout |OT7| Define "AAAA"

Suddenly remembered that recent-ish interview wherein Ryan reflected on how much shit he caught online about the old “who would play these?” Gran Turismo comments and said he’d keep his mouth shut next time.

(Obviously, this new thing is much, much more dire and serious, I am not at all suggesting they are on the same level)

Yep, he’s a nutso, going all the way…

He probably thinks there’s no one above him, that he can’t be responsible for anything and can’t be brought down. Typical.

I guess he’ll learn his mistake real fast.

I wish I had your optimism. I’m sure he’ll get excoriated online and rightly so, but I’m not holding my breath on any actual consequences. Love to be proven wrong, though.

Yeah I’m probably optimistic.

But I’m not sure apologies will be enough with that kind of fuck up…

Like “respecting opionions” is kind of bad, but manageable I guess. But talking about dogs ? What is it suppose to mean ? How can you explain that ?

Everything about this e-mail reads as unhinged. I’m usually a proponent of “let’s see if we can get the full context” but this is pretty outrageous and certainly unsalvageable. I don’t know nearly enough about business in general or Sony in particular to say that there’s no way he won’t actually face consequences, though.

My pessimistic guess is that they’ll show a new God of War trailer and it’ll all get blown over, like the other issues women are facing at PS and Ryan’s dumbass racist comments about the Middle East.

Jim is like that NPC in the game you always have to save because they keep getting into trouble then he saves the day at the end. Im sure thats how some at sony see him. I want to see this email

Nothing will happen. Sony nor him will comment on this and it’ll be forgotten by next week. It won’t even be a thought anymore when Marvel’s The Last of God of War trailer drops. That’s simply how things are nowadays.

Things would certainly be far different. Brand power is well, a powerful thing and PS has it in maximum power.

All those people on ERA saying they’re done with Playstation is whatnot, well, I fully expect this is what they’ll look like on God of War Ragnarok Launch day.

For me, I’ve been done with PS for years anyway. Jim certainly doesn’t make me wanna go back anytime soon.

It might sound kinda weird but I trust Phil not to have whatever mindset Jim Ryan has. Ryan seems like he’s off his rocker and he should really hire someone to do PR for him and look over his company e-mails before he hits send.

The most offensive thing I could imagine Phil saying is that Blinx doesn’t deserve a new game.

HOW IS A CASTLEVANIA REBOOT FROM A DECADE AGO GETTING ME AS HYPED AS GOD OF WAR??!?!?!?

This is a must play on Xbox, please everyone! You want an action adventure game? Play castelvania lords of shadow

Mad Payne 3 as well, but castlevania lords of shadow is incredible. This soundtrack is insane, I’m playing this with the official Xbox wireless headset having a joy on my series s.

Los is awesome, I knowwwww. Los 2 sadly is…not.

So… how has everyones day been so far? :smiley:

This should be regarded as a must play game regardless of its sequel, where are the youtubers who should be hyping this underrated title? They did it for metal gear rising, it’s time lords of shadow gets some attention.

Play lords of shadow, it’ll turn this day into a godly day

I had to spend £40 on rechargeable batteries and charging kit, so not great lol.

It was fine until I randomly opened the XboxEra app and saw the new thread about the delay and my mood went to just sour for a short while. I think this one truly caught all of us by surprise.

But give it a few days and I think we’re all be more than fine again, probably tomorrow already.

It reminds me a little of the gta 5 delay back then, damn that one hurt.
