Sony PlayStation State of Play 2023

Man, I miss E3. The State of Play presentation was great, but it feels like a tease. I'm conditioned to think, "I have at least two more presentations that are going to try to one up this one."

Anyway, Sony's State of Play happened to little fan fair. Yes, the internet talked about it. Reddit was filled with trailers. But this did not carry the same social cachet that the E3 event used to have. 

There's something missing from not having the big presentation, the live audience, the sweaty game journalist living on energy drinks and dreams. Not seeing the GiantBomb couch after hours. It's just not as special. 

But... enough old man yelling at the clouds... we have some games coming. 

Backlog: Far Cry 6

I have a question about Far Cry 6... why?

Just why?

I'm an Ubisoft apologist. They are check list games nowadays, but sometimes it's nice to just pop on a podcast and play in these sandboxes. 

But at what point does the check list start feeling more like a grocery list or a work to do list? I think it's the point we've been at with Ubisoft for a couple years now.
