@carlos82 They're legit hard even and most modern games hold your hand too much. That said, I haven't found Demon's Souls to be particularly hard. Dark Souls is the hardest, in my opinion.

Honestly, I felt 2020 was a good, not great year. A lot of good games, but nothing that really stands out as being totally fantastic.

$40 for a 6 hour game?

Don't think so.

@Menchi "modern journalism" is terrible.

Edited for clarity.

@carlos82 Did Japan also get the 20 game starter pack? I bought one game because the console came with Astro, Bugsnax, and 20 of the best PS4 games. Does anyone really need to buy a pile of new games right now?

The whole article is just a train wreck of bad interpretation.

@get2sammyb You can't argue facts, but you can argue interpretation. Sony sold their entire stock which is not dire. The fact Sony sold everything they had, but had fewer items to sell than in the past is the result of a supply chain issue, not a lack of interest or customers

This is an incredibly unjournaliatic analysis and I'm honestly surprised it got past the site editor. Assuming there is a site editor.

@1_W1NG3D_4NG3L @1_W1NG3D_4NG3L No map. But the world is broken up into hubs and it isn't each section s compact enough that a map isn't ncessary.

@carlos82 Thanks, I'll check it out. It's a real impressive effect and makes me even more curious to see ray tracing in action.

@carlos82 Strange. I see torches reflected in water and light sources reflecting off armor. If it isn't ray tracing, I would like to know what effect it is using.

@carlos82 Obviously this game isn't nearly as innovative as Ridge Racer was, but that was over 20 years ago and games have changed a lot of the years. That said, this game really is the best launch title in a very long time because it shows off the power of the PS5 and also hints at the possibilities that future games built specifically for the system will achieve. Particle effects, ray tracing, high definition, textures all combine to make a world that feels real. It is very, very impressive.

Demon's Souls

@B_Lindz first impression... it's big.

Second impression... it's ugly.

Just waiting for FedEx.

I would never have gotten one if Sony didn't offer me one. I had no interest in playing the browser refresh game. Should be here any minute now.

@Gr8VngnzN4esAngr @Col_McCafferty Here's the classic sexist male response. We're the problem in society because we insist women are people not objects.

@Col_McCafferty You are correct and sexist attitudes among gamers still exist. Just take a look at some of the posts here. Like the men that claimed Trump talking about sexually assaulting women was just "locker room talk," many men have just normalized sextet behavior.

The video is offensive and Sony should know better.

Sony sent me a PS5 pre-order invite, so getting mine was a breeze.

Not sure what I did to get the invite, but I'm not looking the gift horse in the mouth.

@BranJ0 Minimum amount of effort has been Nintendo for about 10 years now.

Jim Sterling has debunked the spiraling costs myth many times and I am disappointed to see Pushsquare peddaling it here. Publishers don't "have to" raise prices. They're doing it because they're greedy.

@kyleforrester87 Movies cost 100s of millions to make, yet a blu-ray, dvd, or digital copy only costs $20. This is about greed NOT necessity.
