Imagine in your neighborhood you sell walkie talkies to the kids, let's call it Walkie Network (WN) and it uses radio signals for every kid to use and communicate with each other. Each walkie has 2 signal knobs (one FM and the other for AM).
You have a central FM console so you can monitor the chatter and ensure no one is being naughty. Everyone uses FM, but some kids decided to turn off FM and enable AM only. Now you have a problem, your FM console has no idea what AM is and you cannot monitor through that console. You remember that your grandparents have an AM console, but you can't bring it over so every time you want to monitor the AM channel, you have to drive to your grandparents house (26 miles away from your FM console).
Terrible movement not making PSN linking requires from the very beginning. It's very disingenuous to sell a product in a country blacklisted and then revoke their access 3 months later.
It looks shiny, but unfortunately for me a game requires more than just pretty graphics. Maybe it gets more entertaining down the line, but as it stands now, it's just another action RPG with very little substance to the gameplay loop.
It took me a long time to understand the console market is a giant hoax and a plague on your wallet. The value of these consoles greatly reduces when each generation, they do the same as last gen, but worse. Due to the "evolving" industry, the performance of games are greatly diminishing, so you won't feel the difference on a technical level with consoles.
Save money and buy one system that can do it all. Exclusives sell consoles, sure, but they're collateral on your wallet.
It looks fun, but I'm not getting it now. I've seen everything that happens, so I'm curious how the gameplay goes on a technical level. I don't have a horse in the hate bandwagon, I'm quite neutral so I see things clearly for what they are.
@UltimateOtaku91 Understood. I was thinking more in lines of released on PC or released on mobile and then lately released on PS (i.e. Honkai Star Rail)
I hope security are big and beefed up dudes, ready to tackle and manhandle anyone who dares step on the stage uninvited. And they need to show it on camera so people know; this is what happens when you play silly games.
Success is determined by the relative margin between cost to develop, market and maintain to the revenue it generated. There are no exact figures, but the cost for MKT to be developed and maintained should be somewhere between $1M - $3M/y and you're telling me their turnover is around $70M/y? How is that not a success? If you could invest $1 and make a return of $70, that's a win.
We lack context for the figures. But I wouldn't say it's only successful if it makes hundreds of millions. Can we agree on that?
Sony has to play their cards right, they have potential.
For a game that is certain to not receive any more updates, Animal Crossing is doing well. I wonder if Nintendo is interested in releasing Style Boutique on tue Switch, seeing Fashion Dreamer is also doing well.
I don't disagree in many aspects, but I can't say it hasn't been convenient. Xbox Game Pass is tied to my phone contract, not every game I want to play is there, but the selection is good enough to keep me from buying games. Games are 60 now for 1 game. If I want to play 12 games, that's 720. Sure, I could wait for a sale or buy used, or I could just not pay extra since I have a subscription. In today's economy, I buy 1 game, maximum 2 a year.
The only issue is see with subscriptions is the sustainable cost for the developers. It's a bargain for me, but a trash deal for them. Everything else is subjective, just like ROI (Return on Investment). If I don't see value in spending 720 quid a year, chances are I'm not doing it, especially if it's a game I play once and never again.
I believe there is a future for it, but there's a long way to go.
Is it possible to be higher than 1, or is it just a default option for all games? If it's the former, is there another game you have higher than #1, like #0 — according to Bleach, in the Arrancar arc, the number 0 is the highest of them all.
Sony has found their market and it's not Japan. Top sales now are dedicated to new releases and best of all-time games (i.e. GTA V, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe etc.) Highly doubt they care since the performance of PS5 remains high and if they don't care, neither do I.
This is what I've been saying since 2017! Games like Breath of the Wild may be pretty but have nothing going on. You can walk for 1 hour and nothing pops up. GTA V for comparison, walk for 1 hour and you'll see cops chasing NPCs, Security Vans, people trying to rob you, people robbing others and more — that gives the world depth and character.
Shadow of the Colossus had open world with an empty design, but it was made at a time where memory was expensive. Nowadays, Devs make games in "post-apocalyptic" worlds so they don't have to give depth to it. If that's what we're supporting then our standards in general has gone lower than low.
Imagine paying to be a beta tester lmao. It's just a joke, pls don't attack me. But yeah, it's probably the PS5 fetching for information and sending energy to the wrong bay.
It's Twisted Metal. That or the game that every PlayStation fan loves: The Lost Chronicles of Parappa the Rapper and it's bringing 2Pac back for a grand return.
One game: Monster Hunter World. Maybe Final Fantasy VII Remake, but that's really it. I'm starting to feel the "One-N-Done" that Xbox fans talk about. Value over quantity, lads.
Is this the first time in the history of gaming where I read the lines "Sony is not responsible for X game not working on Y console — the issue has to be fixed by the developers"?
I see it now... A small light of hope for the community. It's tiny, but hope nonetheless.
I had to buy Sonic Generations from the mobile store because the PS3 store is poo-poo kaa-kaa. This choice, though logical, makes no sense to the consumer.
PixelOpus and Japan Studio are PlayStation's best studios. If y'all wanna fight me on that, please send an email to my secretary. My agenda is already full.
Yeah, I too get very upset for not getting daily updates on the PS5. I mean, it's coming out in less than 50 days, least they could do is provide updates every 6 hours.

Re: Helldivers 2 Blasted with Over 200,000 Positive User Reviews Following Sony's PSN Backtrack
The whole review bombing and spread of misinformation was just nonsensical. There were issues, but the way the PC community handled it was just foul.
On the bright side, if you were ever unsure of it before, this campaign they ran is proof communism works.

Re: PlayStation's Mobile Games Studio Rebrands Following Multiple Departures
@Porco Porco, my lovely guy, Nintendo owns Pokémon alongside Game Freak and Creatures. The Pokémon Company is a joint venture between the 3. Nintendo doesn't publish under its name because they're not the sole owner of Pokémon. But it is an intellectual property owned by Nintendo.

Re: PlayStation's Mobile Games Studio Rebrands Following Multiple Departures
@Porco Huh? Fire Emblem Heroes, Mario Kart Tour, Pokémon Go to name a few are extremely successful. Hoyoverse is quite literally swimming in success with their titles and all are brand new IPs. This argument from you is more emotional than factual. It's okay if you feel that way, but it's just not a reflection of reality.
Re: PlayStation's Mobile Games Studio Rebrands Following Multiple Departures
@Porco because it has proven to be a successful market.
