Hello
@AOC
- just wanted to say thanks. My kid was never much into school. But once she learned about you and started following your journey, she’s become super interested in governing, politics, and current events. She’s even in AP Gov now at school. Thank you for inspiring!
Oh, and one more thing: not to get all JK Rowling but when I was working on the origins of Kratos for the first games I knew he was a raging bi-sexual until he settled down with his wife. So Kratos is officially bi. Oh and the Oracle from GOW1? Lesbian, straight up! Boom!
Sad, pathetic, heart breaking. ANYONE who stands up against the sort of 'leadership' they have in IRAN is a hero in my book. Rest in Peace and Power, Mohsen Shekari. Hoping your bravery,strength, and activism serve as an inspiration for millions. Kratos would have LOVED you!

I don't give a fuck about amazing production value+visuals. A great game is a great game. Just starting and so far, so good.
But given how much everyone goes ape shit over visuals, it's staggering how this game can look like this and not get at least a little dinged by reviews.
And that's STARFIELD. I've only completed the main quest and touched a bit of the side stuff (so who knows, NG+ could destroy my sentiments) but atm: it's the best single player game I've ever played.
Everything I was hoping for and more.
So excited to go live to talk about it…
My pronouns are he/him. Because I refuse to mock people who are risking their safety and lives to openly live life on their terms. History will not be kind to those who were cruel and disrespectful to trans folks. And I hope I'm alive long enough to see and enjoy it.
A small but FANTASTIC and WELCOMED aspect of the Starfield gunplay is little cracks in doorways and little openings between steps and grates are OPEN! No collision and thus bullets can go thru these little spaces and you can wreck fuckers (and security turrets) while safe and…
I'm console agnostic, y'all KNOW that. A great game is a great game. I say this because if you love games as well and don't have an XBOX, you owe it to yourself to get Gamepass for a month and try out Starfield (even if just using cloud). It is easily one of my top 3 games of all…
#1
- Demo is great. Very excited for final.
#2
-Tachy is hotter than Eve.
#3
- Jesus, how hard up are you people? I get I'm 52 and the T levels ain't what they used to be but you know there's free porn all over the internet and if that's not enough, there's ACTUAL WOMEN out there!
Gamers confuse the FUCK out of me.
They hate the Epic store,they hate Stadia, they hate VR. They basically hate CHANGE.
GAMERS!Who are supposed to be tech savvy and forward thinking.
Seems they'd prefer it if they were still sitting in their PJ's, playing SNES,and eating Trix.
I don't THINK I've ever played a game this much in the amount of time it's been out.
I am so LOVING this game SO MUCH. Not sure if it hits us kids of the 70's/80's harder than most (cause of our pop culture) but this is a treasure. Thanks

I could stare at this amazing image from Patrick Brown () for hours and still find Easter eggs and surprises. Open this up, zoom in, and enjoy the FUCK out of the overall image AND the amazing tiny, hidden details!
Hint: Best MK v SF battle EVER!
Bitch, I’d love to get paid to shill Gamepass and starfield. But why pay me when I do it for free? Also, I think Xbox has a brilliant vision but so far don’t seem to have the exec team to pull it off. Is SF the anomaly or the start? Who knows.
Also: go suck a bag of severed…
I must continually state that Kratos was NEVER a misogynist in GOD OF WAR 1. Like AT ALL. And it pisses me off 'journalists' continue to retcon that game in order to justify the thesis of their GOD OF WAR 2018 stories.

Got captured by the Navy for stealing a med pack.
Killed everyone on their prison ship.
Would love to steal it. But it says I'm not authorized to fly it. Is this a dead end or is there a solve?!? Thx! :)
Hey
@Saselandia
I won't do it if you make people pay for it. That's low class man.
Why can't we just have a chat? I'd like to clear up some misconceptions you may have about me and I'd love to know more about your channel and motivation and such.
But to charge for it? Nah.
Let's be clear.
Kratos was a Greek guy w/Olive Skin.
Who clearly was in to white women.
Voiced by a black dude.
And my choice to play him in a movie at the time was Djimon Hounsou.
TL;DR- choke on your hate and die racist fucks :).

Death Stranding looked super dull but it's a blast.
Guardians of the Galaxy trailers looked terrible but reviews are saying it's ALSO a blast.
Maybe demos DO need to come back (or Playstation Trials) cause traditional marketing for video games seems to be dropping the ball.
1st few hours of GOD OF WAR were good. Amazingly executed+well written (naturally) but overall it was just 'hey, this is really good'.
Now that it's rolling tho-and Kratos is softening a bit+the world opens up- holy fuck! I GET it! DAMN! Thanks
@corybarlog
and
@SonySantaMonica
Fuck it:I’m man enough to admit when I’m wrong.Death Stranding?!? Look, blame Sony marketing cause they made it look dull as dirt. But that game? That Kojima joint is a masterpiece and its design will affect other games-in ways obvious and subtle- for a long time.I was SO wrong.
Here's my review and a narrative deep dive discussion into my favorite single player game EVER:
@StarfieldGame
!
Time stamped with spoilers at the end!
Tomorrow (Monday) we're back to content about OTHER games- promise!
BUT I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH! :)…
GAMERS: Why aren't game companies more transparent?!? What the FUCK?!?
DEVS: Here is a thought I have.
MEDIA: I'll spotlight ONE PART of the thought for clicks!
GAMERS: I HATE THAT GAME AND THAT DEV NOW!
GAME PR: You may no longer talk to the press openly!
Rinse/Repeat
Returning to ELDEN RING after time playing GOW:R, Evil West, and other more traditional (but WONDERFUL) games reminds me why FOR ME Elden Ring is the most magical, wonderful game ever created.
This is the game I dreamed of as a child reading D&D manuals and playing Atari.
For those who have been asking for a while: I will finally be playing GOD OF WAR 2018 this weekend on my stream (11-3pm PST) on Sat and Sunday. Members only stream (or at least Members Only chat- not sure yet)! See y'all there! This better be good
@corybarlog
!!! :)
Please do me a favor: if you are really serious and focused on 'console wars', just unfollow me? Seriously, it would help me out a lot. I can't STAND seeing your posts about Sony Ponies and XBOTS and all this shit. It's embarrassing for you and annoying for me. Appreciate it.Thx!
here's useless tweet but if I don't say something i will explode!!!
just found out about a new plaeystation game they are making-no ideaa when it get unveiled (maybe next week, maybe not) BUt just know when it does, people are gonna lose their fucking minds! Bad ass!!!
Deleted my tweet where-God forbid!-I expressed some love about ANY other game maker besides Sony.I forgot that was unacceptable and opens me up to a bunch of fucking 30 year old stunted men wanting to go to the mat with 'console war' debates. God, I sometimes hate game culture.
FINALLY finished STARFIELD. It has moments of genius for sure but it doesn’t seem like it will hold up like other classics. Ending was also WTF?!? Which I kinda get given the overall theme but still, it’s also an entertainment product so…I dunno. Need to process.
The more comments I read from Gamers criticizing GamePass' supposed harm to devs,the more I'm convinced these Gamers are under the impression XBOX just decides what games it wants on their service and if you're the unlucky dev who gets picked, woe unto you.
TIP:it's negotiated.
As a fan of horror, I think this is crazy cool. It's SUPPOSED to be disturbing. It's SUPPOSED to be nasty and gross. That's what's FUN and COOL about it; that's why it WORKS.
Enough time has passed that I feel comfortable finally telling the truth about why I really left PlayStation and God of War specifically.
It was because of Vin Diesel.
Just got word that Playstation legend Kelly Flock died. He's the exec who pulled the trigger creating Sony Santa Monica; he's the guy who greenlit Twisted Metal 2-Black (along w/Jet Moto). He gave SO MANY of us at Playstation chance after chance to get it right and learn. 1/2
@Atreus_09
That's like saying we should respect cultures and religions that don't accept Jews, Muslims, Black people, or women. Get the fuck out of here with your backward ass views. Go evolve and good entertainment (often made by progressives) will be waiting for you when you get back.
I complain TONS about the state of AAA. Many are bloated, self important,+clearly would rather be movies not games. But when AAA works it works it is MAGIC!!! DAMN, Ghost is brilliant+Jin Sakai is my fave new hero this gen! Thanks
@SuckerPunchProd
@yosp
@RohdeScott
for this gem!
I LOVE Playstation: personally, financially, and as an entertainment company. They have given me SO MUCH. But even with that, they should not have said this, IMO. It's just a bad, wimpy look...
Sure but to be fair: PlayStation has two decades of amazing shipped classics+ as credit in the bank. So when they delay or cancel or stumble, it’s logical to see that as part of the process of talent growing and learning. Xbox has-IMO-not yet earned thst faith w/most gamers.
Lot of damage control, silence, and no pressing pressure from good old games media. Never saw such a bunch of wimps so limp after being sold bold the week before on the Xbox hate fest tour that went on. Games been cancelled, horrible showcase, GAAS galore and not a peep lol
I can NOT forgive this!
I walked into the mall and saw that in order to buy EVERYTHING in the mall it would cost me a LOT of money!!!
HOW DARE THE MALL PEOPLE!!! WHAT GREED!!!! UNACCEPTABLE!!!!
🚨🚨🚨Halo Infinite data mined and all 88 store bundles leaked.
You would have to spend $1,035 to buy everything. These aren't unlocked by simply playing the game.
Halo Fans calling it one of the most greedy systems ever even for a F2P game
@red_skyze
You could do it on a PS1- there's nothing 'gen' about it. It's simply many teams don't take the time, have the resources, or dedicate the engineering to such details.
For the love of God Gamers please listen: save up your cash and when you can afford it, buy a damn pc for gaming. Delays mean NOTHING for PC Gamers cause there is always new stuff to play; like every day there is new stuff!
God Of War turned 15 this year and I FINALLY have the courage to say this out loud: I did NOT create Kratos!
Phew!!! It's like a weight's been lifted!
Ok, I mean I DID create him. But,see, well,it...it's complic-
Ya know what?Fuck it. Here's a video...
I wanted to punch MAGA KID in the smug face just like everyone else.
Then I saw the other videos of the scene.
What was once clear was no longer cut and dried.
And yet here we are, 24 hours later, and media's still acting as if the original take is fact.
What am I missing?
MY EXPERIENCE AS A PARENT OF AN AMAZING TRANS CHILD (a tiny thread:) 🧵
It doesn't matter to this guy tweeting at me-and folks like him-that transitioning brought our child BACK to us. He went from being a happy as fuck kid to a VERY depressed and anxious adolescent.
@davidscottjaffe
I don’t doubt your everlasting love for your child, but if you were to truly care about her mental well being, you would’ve put up a tougher fight rather than give up so easily and let her be manipulated by the society that indoctrinates this mental illness as a normal reality
Not to add fuel to the fire, but in my many years at Sony, none of us ever saw
@yosp
in real life. They ALWAYS rolled in a tv and we talked to him on that. Even when we had business dinners with Shu, Sony would set up a tv at the head of the table and Shu would appear on that.
I love Sony and I will be a PS Fan till the end. But come on Sony Fanboys, stop embarrassing yourself acting like the Xbox/Bethesda deal is 'no big deal'. Tip your hat to the competition and get on w/your day. It's the classy thing to do :).
I grew up LOVING Indy;boyhood idol/all that.
But IMO the last 20 years has been terrible for Indy fans like me. This game tho actually FEELS like it could be the kind of Indy adventure I wanted for Crystal Skull and Destiny. Thanks so much

Stayed up WAY too late with CyberPunk. My GOD the scope of this game is off the charts. It's REALLY DAMN GREAT.
It's still so hard to forgive them dropping a shit bomb on release. But still, it's hard not to fall in love w/living in this world. Amazing.
Great job
@hobby_consolas
! But a tip: why not actually quote my tweet in your story?!? Oh that’s right! Cause if you did show the tweet, it’d be clear your whole story is built on a lie.
Must suck to have to lie to pay your bills. Not joking around; that must really suck:(.
Another way you KNOW this is Kojima.
A small indie dev would not do this sort of bait and switch.
Kojima will be forgiven for it; but what the app just showed? Man, a small dev would never take such a troll-y risk.
Kojima involved: 90% sure.
Redfall is launching on Xbox consoles with Quality mode only:

STARFIELD has convinced me to go full boar on muting or blocking people. If you come at me with an insult response but NO specifics to back it up (ex: sounds like you're biased, dude!), you get blocked/muted. I just can't with these people anymore. So not good for my brain.
Your whole biz is built around ONE game that you have ZERO control over?
Fuck,I've heard of not putting all your eggs in one basket but Ryan seems to be saying they not only did that,but they don't even own the fucking basket.
I get it:he'll say whatever he needs to. But damn.
That’s so silly, GamePass needs no promotion! Especially when you can play over 100 high-quality games, plus enjoy Xbox Live Gold and an EA Play membership, all for one low penis price. For a limited time, get your first 3 months of Ultimate for $1.
Messing around w/PS+ Premium. Never actually played ASCENSION so I figured, why not. Good God, how did I allow the world to convince me this was a low point of the series? This fuckin thing is a BLAST! I LOVE seeing my boy tearing it up again!
#PROUDPAPA
Thanks
@ToddPapy
!
Ok so if THIS is the kind of SMUT writing we can expect to see in Sony Santa Monica’s next game then...well...well then...
Actually, ya know what? I’m totally there for it. Totally down to see where this Giant thing goes.
TL;DR- good hire,
@corybarlog
!
I love how the game that's supposed to be for real men who love hot chicks and hate wokeness rewards them for preordering with lots of clothes and accessories to play dress up with.
Jade Raymond lands at Playstation. And once again,I say this:other pubs will offer you the moon,but they can't help you build the ship to get there. Sony can and consistently does because they manage creative process better than anyone else in the biz.More to say on today's show.
Please baby Jesus, grant me the patience to not snap when reading all of these obsessive fans bending over backwards to make the new PS+ plans sound like they are interesting and exciting.
TL;DR- The first stage of grief is denial.
Staggered that anyone (including- reportedly- Xbox) is surprised Xbox games are not selling well because Gamers want them on Gamepass. Yeah, that's the whole point. Why buy Stranger Things on Blu Ray when I can just watch it whenever on Netflix?* It is very hard to believe 1/2
I'm inches from pulling the trigger on FORESPOKEN at $70. Part of it is the good stuff I'm hearing from people who are playing it-and the fact I DID enjoy the demo. The other part is I want to buy it to spite the assholes who clearly don't like women, black people,or Playstation.
I have been blocking motherfuckers on this platform like little Jason S and I gotta say: it feels good! I always wanted to be an ‘all voices welcome’ kinda guy but it seems I’m over that. Love differing views but no longer tolerate assholes and idiots.
I will never spoil developer reveals.
It sucks;it's mean.
But fucking JESUS it's like a fucking BATTLE to say nothing at all! So just allow me to say:I just heard a fantastic rumor (99% sure of it) about a remake of a game and fuck-I wanna tell everyone!!!
But I won't:/.
Me: Wow! Ratchet is the best looking game ever made!And wonderfully executed!
PS Fanboys: Yeah!We love ya,Jaffe!
Me: It’s solid fun but it’s the same game we’ve been playing for over a decade.Prob a good biz move but I wish it was fresher.
PS Fanboys: Burn in hell,you fat fuck!
Thank ya, pal! And thank you and the whole team who keep the dude going and relevant after all these years. LOVED Valhalla, felt like a fun visit back in time (with upgrades:)...can't wait to see your new game!
God of War is 19 today!
Will always be thankful to
@davidscottjaffe
@studstills
and Yumi Yang for taking a chance on my younger and far more annoying self to be a part of creating these games.
Thank you to everyone who supported and traveled with us on this crazy journey.

Sadly, that last tweet was a lie designed to just take the piss out of all the haters who are hating on that

image of Kratos. I honestly never assumed Kratos was anything but straight BUT fuck it: if he was bi all along and we are just learning that now? Cool! Works4me!
I'm missing my parents.
I hate the way people we love just vanish, perhaps forever.
But I sit with the pain and the uncomfortability.
Because it will pass.
And because the pain is also a gift,reminding me how important my parents were to my life and are to my soul.
