@Savage_Joe Yes how dare Metal Gear fans had to get a PS2 to play MGS 2 after playing MGS1 on the PS1. This totally isn't how console generations have always worked.
@Hypoman Not every woman looks like a 10/10 supermodel. Most people don't...period. I never understood people who have a meltdown at the sight of average looking women in a video game. Like how shut in are those people?
I can always appreciate any Star Wars media that distances itself from Jedi. Jedi are cool and all but you have a literal galaxy full of possibilities in terms of characters, factions, storylines, etc. That have nothing to do with Jedi or so help me any more f----ng Skywalkers.
@PushButtons As hard it is to understand sometimes, the vocal idiots online who do nothing but hate, hate, hate on every single game are overwhelmingly the minority. The vast majority of people just see a game, think "neat", buy it and that's the most you hear from them. 99 percent of people aren't having meltdowns over hair physics or the lack of a visible puddle.
Directed by Hideo Kojima, starring Hideo Kojima, produced by Hideo Kojima, executive produced by Hideo Kojima, cinematography by Hideo Kojima, casting by Hideo Kojima, key grip Hideo Kojima....
@sentiententity Are you seriously complaining that a company that has been making shooters for 30 years is....making another shooter? That's like complaining Polyphony is making another racing game, it's what they are known for.
Am I going to have to download 95 percent of the game regardless after inserting the disc in like a lot of games now which effectively makes the disc pointless aside from being a very expensive drink coaster? If so don't even bother guys.
@Rob_230 Well if you reread the article they stated they were planning a PS4 version but that idea was scrapped early in development. Alot changes in development. They probably had a roadmap with PS4 in mind and then after that version was cut they rewrote that map to fully take advantage of the hardware. Thats how that usually goes.
@Rob_230 The way it is now, yes. You cant do those visuals on PS4. I imagine a PS4 version would have been very compromised visually if not in other ways.
@Kang81
Everything you just mentioned is correct plus in general games especially of the AAA ilk are so much more difficult and expensive to develop these days. The more technical the games get the more things can vastly go wrong in the code, including a lot of things not even the developers could have anticipated. Back in the 90s a group of just 20 developers making a hyped up epic was the norm (nowadays most AAA developers are at least pushing 1000) and code was so much easier to vet for issues because the scale of games back in the day was much more contained (don't believe me look up games from your childhood and aside from RPGs they will all be much shorter than you remember) as a result games were so much easier and cheaper. Not to mention now you got entitled idiots online expecting literally every single game regardless of size or budget to be some sort of industry pusher and it makes me feel bad to be a developer in this day in age. My point is there is no single answer to the inconsistent state of things and the typical twitter assessment of "hurr durr game developers lazy hurr durr" is stupid as there is so much more to it than that.
@ItsBritneyB_tch While I don't usually care about PC vs console, Beat Saber is one of those games that is absolutely transformed on PC with the custom songs mod. Unlimited song options made by the community for free can't be topped so I recommend going that route if you can.
Internet: OH MY GOD GTA 6 IS COMING OUT NEXT WEEK!
Youtubers: Proceed to make 20 minute long videos with clickbaity titles implying GTA 6 was just announced which people some how always fall for despite these channels doing this at least once a week
@KaijuKaiser People seem to forget that gaming is still the cheapest it has ever been. I saw a post that made a splash on Reddit of some store catalog from 1996 that listed new games for 50 dollars and the comments were full of idiots going "oh games were so much cheaper" and they didn't understand no matter how much I tried to explain inflation to them.
Have been busy the last few weeks but I am finally almost at the end of God of War Ragnarok after having had it in my posession for the last two months. Too much going on lately to marathon it.
@pyrrhic_victory Does nobody read, it says right there its a 2 week delay due to a ratings classification issue. You cant produce an entire port in 2 weeks.
@IamJT It's because in todays internet lingo "Boomer" is basically shorthand for anything that is roughly more than 20 years old. I don't get it either but knowing that the PS2 is now considered retro makes me feel old as hell and I'm not even 30 yet.
@Green-Bandit
I would probably be a MAC user if:
1. They weren't so overpriced (I'm sorry but Apple overcharges the ever loving s--t out of it's customers) and;
2. If they had anything close to the support of PC's.
@deadfred77
It's a personal preference thing but I have always loved the look and feel of 90s fps games and I am all for the "boomer shooter" (not a fan of that name) gameplay revival. It's takes a lot of effort to recreate the look of that era while making it still modern.
Warner Bros has kind of been killing it this year so far. Between this, the Last of Us tv show and the new Evil Dead. I hope the momentum keeps up after they have had a rough couple years.
Will this be a free upgrade from PS4 to PS5? I haven't played the game yet and if possible I would just buy the PS4 version and upgrade straight to PS5 to save a little bit of money if that's the case.
@SillyBoyJudas
Step 1: Wait until the entire season has released
Step 2: Get a free trial

The cost issue is applicable to most mediums now. Movies and TV are encountering the same issue where costs are ballooning too much to be continuously feasible. Either audiences need to welcome more cheaper projects with open arms or the future of most entertainment will be very uncertain. There's a reason why sequels and remakes are so prevalent. Because they are almost always guaranteed to be at least somewhat profitable.
I will never understand the hate for the Order. Yes it's a short game but not every game needs to be a 300 hour endurance test. Meanwhile Resident Evil 7 was also a full price game that was just as long as the Order was and yet that somehow got a free pass.
@Keyblade-Dan
Horizon as an animated show would be the only way you could even do that setting justice. I don't know what Netflix is smoking, thinking making their Horizon show live action is a good idea.
@Zuljaras Maid of Sker is such an underrated game. The N64 port of Starcraft was also technically impressive. The N64 had a surprising number of decent ports of PC games.
@GrimReaper
Ugh another movie where characters are sitting in a room talking. Ugh another song that's made up of instruments and sound vibrations. Ugh another book that's composed of nothing but typed words.
@Browny
This is the same network that aired Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire, and other shows that were well known for killing off main characters suddenly. I think viewers will handle it a lot better than the man children did with the game.
