Over budgeting, overly ambitious visuals, extreme amount of unnecessary content, and lack of proper marketing are far worse problems. The PS5 exclusivity is just the nail in the coffin. This hurts the japanese market even more, since they are mostly Switch and PC users.
@RoomWithaMoose his comment meant that Ubisoft could’ve picked a better japanese story, since Japan is so freaking full of great legends and culture. Yasuke’s story is barely even told among Japanese people, not because he was black, but because he did very little to impact Japan in a meaningful way. You took his comment as a political attack by just reading the first sentence.
@RoomWithaMoose “So I'm the bully for summarizing his comment as 'upset about black samurai'?” Yes. You misinterpreted his whole comment and twisted it against him
As I said on the first article, Sony did an absolute Apple by raising the price, removing features and selling said features separately, racking up the price even further. Will it pay off or will it be another PSVR2?
@Lembit it’s much more expensive when you add the disc drive and the base. This is not a “oh no! $200 more expensive waaahh 😭”. Sony did an absolute Apple by raising the price, removing features and selling said features separately, racking up the price even further. That’s what most of the people here are angry for
@Stragen8 you can’t pay bills and get fed with “exposure” and “potential new clients”. What if the song doesn’t resurge as you think? Then the artist loses the rights to their own song and money for accepting such a crappy deal.
@DennisReynolds “ Honestly if the AI was "better" it would break the game as the stealth system is so basic and barebones smarter enemies would make it way too tough. Combat wise you die pretty quick and enemies have perfect accuracy so yeah no one playing wants them smarter.”
That’s a design issue, and Ubisoft has all the blame for it. If a “better” AI would wreck the gameplay, then said gameplay was wrecked from the beginning. I’ve seen this charade between you and Puppet, and I’m inclined to see that you’re defending the game too much. If you found Outlaws enjoyable, sure, but the many flaws this game has are glaring for a dev that has extensive open world games experience.

Re: PS5 Pro Announced, Costs $700 and Out in November
This is the fastest comments from an article from PS. Good job!
Even as a 99% digital user, I don’t see the value of this. $699 is too much, when the All digital Xbox SX is at $449.
This also denotes the industry moving to digital only products, which is fine by me, but not for many.
Re: PS5 Pro Announced, Costs $700 and Out in November
The price doesn’t justify the buy. This exceeds the infamous “599 USD” from the PS3
