@ShadowofSparta Literally the only reviewer I trust.

Just needed optimisation, not more content.

Because you have an older generation console which is holding back advancements and then you had an industry leading Xbox PC Game Pass which was envied by everyone... and then ruined it with constant price increases and changes in tiers.

Xbox is a dying brand. They just arent doing anything fun or innovative. Plus, the Xbox controller feels like a Tonka toy compared to Sense

Playstation based website claims people like Playstation. Shocker.

@GADG3Tx87 because Sony have had multiple, very public data breaches!!!

FFS!! It's not review bombing! It's actual critical feedback from customers.

@AverageGamer Please direct me to this place where the game is "vastly" cheaper to purchase than FF7R on Steam when it's on sale (£34.99) when the sale price is still too expensive for the age of this game.

The reason on PC for sales being low, is they don't understand how Steam pricing works! FF7: Remake is stupidly priced for a game that's been out so long. If people can't play that, they won't be inclined to grab a PS5 to play the sequel. Lower the damn price on Steam and MAYBE some people's impatience will work in your benefit. But Square gotta Square and stick to those moon-logic prices.

Maybe ask players what they actually want?

When I finish the other 8,431 games exactly like this... maybe I'll give it a try.

@carlos82 Dont forget half of the better games come to PC anyway, making the actual console even MORE worthless.

More evidence of how delusional these CEO's are. They only see money and their stupid narrow-minded spin. How about the optics? PS5 is barely worth getting. Nowhere near enough exclusives to make it tempting, a rubbish build and it's visually ugly and it's still overpriced. Most people don't care about it that I've talked to, just going to PC gaming or sticking with PS4. I'm absolutely chuffed I didn't knee-jerk purchase one. Sounds worthless. Not paying £500 to play Spider-Man 2.

The problem with this remake is that everything in MGS3 is a comic book situation or character. Having realistic looking assets and characters isn't important to that and may even be detrimental. I think this is a crazy misstep and a cash in

Just shrug it off.

It's almost like Fortnite is just a money maker and the people behind it don't REALLY care about you...

I think the only real issue here is when the digital copies cost way more than physical, considering there's less cost involved as you don't have to make the physical media. However, it does move that data onto servers that need to be constantly maintained and the rest of the infrastructure needed to deliver them.

I DO think the prices are stupid, but at the same time, that's why I don't own a Lambo. I simply don't buy them. For me, the problem is solved. I just wait for sales.

Personally, I think the court will rule that Sony can charge what they like because options do exist between ignoring digital sales altogether, waiting for sales or buying discs.

Now that all changes if Sony move to an ENTIRELY digital storefront and stop producing physical media that can be resold at better prices, but we aren't there yet. I can't help feel this should have waited until then...

Honestly, if this is all you have in your life to cause you grief... you're doing ok. I'd personally just not worry about it.

@tameshiyaku How can it release physically and NOT be on disc...?

@Jamesblob It doesnt need an audience outside of the "cellphone" crowd. They are the ones daft enough to keep paying for things in these sorts of games

Surely this should just be:

Item=Mirror
Mirror=Character customisation.

Done

Honestly, I'd really respect the guy more if he just came out and said "Yeah we raised the bar. Get over it. Stop being lazy other devs".

I guess the economy isn't doing too bad in the US then if y'all can afford this overpriced junk

People still play COD? Why?

@PenguinLtd Laziness and a wish to cash in with minimal effort.

@johnny30 What? That's the entire POINT of bosses...

@Milktastrophe Dont. It sucks.

If this is even half as good as the Mad Max game, it'll be excellent. I don't care about all the drama, I'll take a good Potter game any day!

What is anyone even PLAYING on this daft console? It doesn't have anything!

Blood... borne...blood...borne

Probably because you asked a massive group of PC only players, to purchase the FOURTH game in a series without providing the means for them to play the first trilogy and get to know the characters. It's like starting with Memberberries and then going back to watch what they are talking about. It's backwards and dumb.

Call of Duty isn't exactly the top-tier product it once was. It's only because the sheeple are so indoctrinated into it's economy that it appears to be popular. If Sony took two seconds to think about it, creating a COD-beater isn't all that hard. Just may take a little effort and money. With all the exclusives Sony hold onto (with only PC benefitting from ports), it's very cheeky of them to suggest Microsoft act any differently to them.

Can't wait for this to come out at $89.99 because Square are completely detached from current world realities.

In the grand scheme of everything going on in the world right now, if you truly care about this, you're not paying attention. These are GAMES! They are not important.

Just a game. Wouldn't worry about it.

@MFTWrecks Money happened.

@uptownsoul But that's not true, because they aren't trying to cast a wide net at the point of RELEASING the game, but years after. That won't affect the games at all. At worst, it'll stop them appearing on certain low-powered consoles like the Switch.

Maybe I'll get it one day when it's on sale for under £100...

You wait an entire console generation for a new GT game and Sony still manage to find a way to ruin the experience. Bravo Sony.

@LN78 I could answer your question, but it'd likely cause offense!

It was always "The Walking Dead Season 1" first and then "The Wolf Among Us" a close second. It absolutely needed a 2nd season.

Although I do think this will suck, hasn't Dark Souls proven that graphics are second to gameplay?

All you people feigning outrage at the possible price and saying you won't buy it... you will.

It's the same every time and it's exactly why it'll be this price, because you all have no self-control or ability to stand your ground.

Same with microtransactions.

Don't buy games at full price, games come down in price. Simple maths.

I think you may be forgetting how PS3 games really looked...

@Alexface Exactly. At times, you had 2-3 Telltale games on the go at once and were desperately trying to finish one before the next one came out. It created fatigue in the genre and by the time I was trying to finish TWD Final Season, I was totally out of gas for these games.

Less-- with more investment in real decisions, story and engine technology would go much further.

Quality over quantity.

@Fight_Sora_Fight If it happened, I'm sure it'd be totally new characters seeing as BL3 is moving the Rhys character forward on it's own.

I loved Telltale games but this article is right, they released so many, so quickly that even I got bored of them. A couple of games a year MAX with higher quality animations and engine, which run for maybe 6 episodes minimum per "game" would be good. Having each episode run a bit longer too would also help. 4-5 hours I'd say is a sweet spot. Also, finish one before starting the next or have minimal overlap. Don't work the new employees into the ground. No-one deserves that stress and imagination and creativity wont thrive in that environment either.

Also--- forget Batman. I'm not entirely convinced anyone really cared for it. TWAU was much more unique. Batman's been done to death.
