If you think people didn't buy a ps5 for the ps5 versions of those games then you have no clue what's happening. Plus there are 3 next gen only games and we are getting 2 this year (and a dlc).
Lots of friends bought ps5s for miles ps5 version.
I don't want to derail the topic but there is a reason I moved to USA for the salary. USA cares mostly about money, and Canada, EU, UK have a lot of more integrity when it comes to its consumers. Sorry to say. You go to a hospital without insurance and you get a life time 200k debt, if your college debt wasn't enough.
So this deal getting blocked is good for consumers. They are not creating anything or making anything possible. They just want to steal to get ahead.
Microtransanctions and Games prices raises started in America.
hahahahaha. It's better in almost every way. Few exceptions. Now I just think you're clueless if there's nothing better. It's not even an opinion. Have a good day. You and me will clearly disagree with most things if something like that is your opinion.
I'm not saying this gen is more creative. It's not, but there's really not else that can be done at this point. Just enjoy the game that combines superb stuff and that's it.
None of the games I played on ps5 are fresh. Everything is an improved form of something, but I still enjoy games. I don't have to hate on things because I already experienced it. If it's good, it is good, and HFW is an amazing game. Not perfect.
I disagree. I have been gaming since ps1 so idk what you're talking about. Those games are what made the games that we have today lol . You just can't filter out that was new back then. Just quit gaming lol. Do yourself a favor.
You mean being a hipster and loves to hate on popular things because people enjoy the way things are, but you don't?
Yes. HFW world is amazing. One of the best ever made. What I mean with checklists is that the map has to have machines camps and stuff like that. As long as it's not overdue like spider-man, hogwarts or ubisoft games, a checklist is ok. Even Elden Ring has repetitive used assets in their dungeons lol.
And I love the story and characters. Sorry to disappoint you. I think Aloy is one of the best female characters created. Sylens, Erin, Varl were good too. HZD story was better tho.
Every side mission, every character in those are different in HFW. Ubisoft is such a literal copy and paste side quests with no background at all. At least there was a sense of wanting to keep exploring in HFW compared to FC4 (haven't played the latest AC and don't plan on playing the new FC).
Every open world has checklist so that's not the issue. Hogwarts legacy was more formulaic and more ubisoft like than horizon too. There weren't too many copies and paste stuff in horizon.
Ubisoft is so much lazier making open worlds, gameplay and general. They pump more of these too.
Man everyone now complains about every ***** game. Gow is a DLC, ER was about technical prowess, HFW was too "generic", doom eternal is more of the same.
Same ***** will happen with ff16, zelda and spiderman 2. Oh, FF lost its identity, it's not turn based. Zelda and spiderman 2 are more of the same (although that's what sequels do you zombies).
I think it's because of the no showcase since more than a year. It's too much honestly. A big showcase should happen once a year, and a few state of play in between, even if it's a one game sop.
Amazing game, althought I can't stop thinking almost all the characters created on ps4 are somehow inclusive. Atreus and Nathan's Daughter might be lgbt too. No problem with me. Doesn't add or retract a point from a game. It's just interesting they are kind of going the Disney route.
They are incorrect. Not everyone is funny, that does't make someone bland and she can be when she uses sarcasm. I bet the people that say she's bland, are the ones suspect of that. There's a resentment coming from them and you can tell due to the constant need of saying the game is bland.
I'm on my 6th game beaten this year and most of them aren't in a sub, and the ones that were, I just rather buy them for cheap and keep them "forever".
I let Wo Long sit because I honestly didn't feel like playing it. Nioh and Nioh 2 felt better and those were last gen games.
@GamingFan4Lyf They're not getting sufficient gamepass numbers either. I would just revert it back to the traditional way, slowly because fans got so accustomed to being cheap, but that would mean Satya would want to close down xbox.
@themcnoisy If MS has a battle with PC, they lost it putting their games on steam.
We can discard Redfall. That's a 70 or lower score game if I ever see one. I'm 100% sure about that.
If people had a choice, they would go to the movie theater only to see movies that are worth it, go to restaurants that have good food etc.
I've seen the stupid list wars of exclusives this year and ofc sony only has spider-man 2, but that game alones crushes the 5 or so games xbox is releasing on 2023. These numbers are up and no ff16 and spider-man 2 (their biggest seller) have been released.
The thing is people like to complain about the other side, but one side is clearly winning so that doesn't make sense, does it?
If Starfield isn't impressive, will any of their other games be besides a racer? Hellblade 2 looks good, but the first one was very short and most of it was puzzles and not something you can sell a system on. I can already see Bethesda games going lower on the budget (redfall and hifi rush). I'll be pissed if they ruin iD software. That's the best fps dev right there. We could've gotten high budget FPS from them but now due gamepass and budget limitations they might not be the pearl they once were.
Anyways this is actually worse than last gen imo. Sony is doing better than ps4 in terms of games (by the second year we only had bloodborne) and xbox has way more studios but somehow they are in the sameboat. We predicted the possible bad outcomes of gamepass and this is it right here.
Hoping nintendo releases a high end system next gen. I'll buy that one for sure.

Who cares it wasn't a ps5 exclusive. It took advantage of it and moved units. Even third party have rarely made next gen games.
It moved more units than returnal, ratchet and demon souls combined. All next gen only.
@PSme
No publishing acquisitions. Bethesda was enough. Everyone has enough studios to compete, make their console worth it.
