The idea that with Scorpio MS killed any potential hype / positive consumer outlook on PS pro is hilarious.

It was announced at E3 1.5+ years ahead of time, which is irrelevant to 90% of people who buy consoles, with just a couple of "meaningful" numbers and a 3D render, communicated in typical MS PR fashion. No one gives a fuck.

Similarly, the mass market isn't going to give a flying fuck about PS4 pro. Not until it drops to $249 or less.

The Pro was also intended by Sony to be a measure to stop people on the fence from jumping to PC like they did last gen and attract PC gamers with a stronger version. Which backfired because the spec bump was mediocre for PC gamers who may have made a secondary purchase if Bloodborne got a bump to 60FPS (Its not and the PC Master Race aren't interested) and for people on the fence, the PC is now a better option since you can get an RX 480 if you just want a mid-range 1080P focused build and a 1070 if you want to go further beyond.

The Sony stan bubble is a constant source of amusement. Especially when it turns out this thing is only really going to sell to people already owning a PS4 who have insane brand loyalty and the more informed casuals who want a latest and greatest console instead of a weaker one.

At work today while I was on GAF, the page transformed into one of those screens that say your data has been compromised and gave a phone number to call. I tried to "X" out of the screen but it wouldn't let me so I did a hard shut-down of my computer and when I loaded everything back up it seemed fine. Hopefully I didn't get a virus or anything.

Browsing GAF on your work computer without ad and script blockers is crazy.  Also, it looks like those ads that were totally caused by hackers (heh) are coming back.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=220438733&postcount=1741

So the site is no longer "under attack", but the redirects are happening more and more? lol

Can someone just admit that they made a mistake and the deal/s with ad providers have been horrible choices?

How does it take so long to fix these issues? Surely it can't be that difficult to severe ties with ad agencies which are doing dodgy things...

lmao, goddamn. "We just deleted the code they injected." "Did you update though?" "...we took care of the malware, shut up"

[agrajag]

at this point browsing GAF is like a virtual equivalent of bugchasing

Cracked article trying to offer some first hand insight on the rural/urban divide that may be partly fueling Trump supporters, of course some are too busy getting mad to read the whole thing.
It's not an amazing article or anything but the issue it brings forward does have some relevance.

Just unfriend your family ! The same GAFfer also had this quote, that he edited.

Personally I don't understand why people just stay in their rural towns. The world is so large...why not move somewhere relevant the moment you turn 18?

Well, even though it's only 5% of the population, someone still has to grow and herd the food, you know ?

Summer Lessons being a Japanese market game, age of consent is low over there and not viewed as SUPER CREEPY.  How you feel about that depends on where you live. Here in America you can kill people in any way you like on your entertainment but god forbid Janet Jackson show 2 seconds of nipple. The only surviving Law and Order tv show is the Weekly sexual crime one because America is obsessed with punishing sexual crimes. This society still holding on to its Puritan past.

Because rent in the big city is expensive and not everyone will get good paying jobs that allow you to live in the big city.

And yes, I for one can't wait to live in Mega City 1 with a gazillion deplorables.

i was reading through the first 20 pages of this thread and noticed an interesting trend. Anyone who disagreed with the need for diversity in this game was BANNED from this forum. for voicing their opinion. i didnt realize how fully cucked the moderators on here are until now. fuck this forum and all the sjws who sit in their safe space here.

Everything comes secondary when it comes time to farm for those virtue signaling points.

[railGUN]

I wish people would stop referencing that Vox article or 538 article about the income of Trump supporters. Those polls were based off of people voting in the primaries. Poor price are less likely to vote, and even less so in the primaries. Primary voters are always going to skew higher income. The fact that so many people lapped up these articles says a lot about the confirmation bias and echo chamber of this board.

As soon as I saw Lime post I knew how that thread was going to go. Seems a mod has closed it to go through and ban people. 

[zomgee]

The game is so toxic and wrong-headed it needs banned from discussion, much like Hatred.

Hatred needs banned from existence.

Lime is NeoGAF's biggest troll. Objective: Causing the permanent banning of as many NeoGAFFERS as possible. Motivation: The Lulz.

A few years ago that poster was a completely different character.

I have know for a few years that Lime either 1) Is under heavy mod protection, or 2) Is a moderator alt-account

I love people are now being fake concerned a game set in the 1800s doesnt have female protagonists

as if anyone really cares

I once called out Lime in the most playful and gentle manner.

I was insta-banned so fast it scarcely seems humanly possible.

Will Rockstar game discussion be banned from Neogaf now that there isn't a women, cis, gay, black, polack playable character in RDR?

Its the right thing to do

[Averon]

Rockstar devs are probably reading that thread right now and laughing their asses at how ridiculous GAF's reaction is to a single piece of media. Is it any wonder why developers stopped interacting with GAF if something as simple as that image sets them off?

[Cerveza mas fina]

They are laughing now but when Evilore will ban Rockstar from Neogaf they will feel the burn of the most influential games community online

RDR2 will only sell 19750000 copies instead of 19760000

Hope Rockstar has deep pockets cause Lime and Modbot are on to their alt right agenda

[Dennis]

If you are going to do "1984"-level wrong-think modding then fucking do it fast.

The RDR2 thread is still closed so no one can discuss this huge gaming news on NeoGAF because the moderation went out for lunch.

Looking at the Reddit thread, the only controversy normal people seem to care about is the lack of a PC port. But GAF also complained when Warhorse made clear Kingdom Come wouldn't have an option to create female or black protagonists. You know, a game that takes place in rural Bohemia in 1403.

You think there would be some self reflection, but it seems moderation by committee has only made it worse.  It's just all hubris at this point.  Look at how some of the mods address honest questions--snark and sarcasm.

Not even kidding, probably the best written female characters in anime are found in ecchi shows. Not that there's anything wrong with it. Not particularly surprising, either.

I'm all for better representation in games, but that RDR2 thread is a utter clusterfuck. And it happens in nearly every single thread for a big game.

We haven't even see the trailer yet and people were flipping out. I mean who says the guys on the poster are the protags? they could be the guys your character is fighting.They could be your posse in MP.

Looking at the first page of GAF you wouldn't know RDR2 was just announced.

Why not open a new thread?
