You are giving Concord more praise than the rest of the world are giving it 😂 It’s an overwatch copy with forced inclusion yet again. I was not impressed at all. Only Astro Bot made me feel that Sony actually cared.
@Aladin_Run for years, people kept using a gtx 1060, an inexpensive mid range card. It was the most popular graphics card on steam until 2022. An rtx 4060 is very affordable for the 12 tflops and ray tracing features it offers, while also being dlss3 and fsr 3 capable.
I have a 4060 laptop and can run CP 2077 with some RT above 60fps. With dlss, I can take it to almost 100fps. I’ve also played BG3 with 80-100fps as well
@MrMagic as I said on a forum post a few weeks back, PC hardware is expensive only if you want to go for the top of the line. You can create a great performing pc for less than 4 digits, with similar or more powerful components than the PS5.
@MrMagic everyone saying that pc prices keep getting up are not patient. 3 to 4 times a year, pc games prices are heavily discounted, even on games that came out the same year. Valhalla was for $20 the first summer after launch
@Archangel7704 the only red flag I’m seeing is your very comment. Play a Switch game and come back to us on how the lack of trophies ruined your experience 🤷🏻♂️
Something I’ve learned from Switch is that achievement trophies are never needed to enjoy a game. If a game depends on trophies to motivate someone to play it, it’s a bad game to begin with. If someone depends on the amount and quality of achievement trophies to play a game, they aren’t playing for fun, they play just to show off #sorrynotsorry.
The good thing about the TR games is the suspenseful atmosphere most of the places have. That isn’t as easy to implement in an open world game. Hope that they get help from the people who did the Arkham games for reference.
@DeathlySW “ never said to sign up for a us PSN account, not sure where you’re quoting that from.” that was not directed at you, but a summary of what those defending the enforcement here said.
@DeathlySW “ That being said, creating an account isn’t a huge deal. Pc gamers constantly sign up for new accounts in all kinds of games and online content, this is small fry.”
As a PC gamer myself, I absolutely hate that. I already have the store’s account, and making me sign up for yet another account is a deterrent for me. The difference with the PSN, though, is that the service is region locked. “Just make a US PSN account, yada yada yada”. Not everyone knows or will take those extra steps just to play a game. Imagine paying for a game that you can’t play a few days or weeks later.
@Flaming_Kaiser and MS should get reprimanded as well. Though Sony did much worse for the fact that they sold the game to people who were not part of their audience, to then pull the rug on them. The game got taken out of my country’s Steam page as well, and my friends who only played the PC version are legitimately pissed.
@JohntheRaptor why would a PC player need a console account to play a pc vs pc match? It’s not “entitlement”; the whole thing doesn’t make sense. The real “Entitled” one is Sony in forcing such a thing.
@Cloud39472 I was responding to the very first comment, where he said about the 2M sales. If you want to criticize someone, is the one from the first comment 🤷🏻♂️. Also, if you have the real sales numbers and exact cost to make FF7R, why don’t you show us so that we can do the math properly? (Spoiler: you probably don’t have that…)
@Yorozayu “ Just a reminder that this game has sold +2 million copies since launch at the end of February”
They can sell many million copies if they want, but if FF7 Rebirth didn’t cover back the budget and marketing expenses, then it is indeed a financial failure. That’s the thing many people, including, you, don’t realize.
Example: FF7R sold 2M units like you said. If we average the price at $70, then it has made $140M. Reduce that by the Sony tax of 30%, so they really made $98M. That is peanuts if we compare it to a (assuming) $200M budget and marketing expenses. SE bled $102M. How is that a commercial success?
Not surprising. The series was doomed from the start when Ubi failed to deliver even half of what they showed on the first 2012 demo. Legion might had another name altogether or be a side game.
@FatalBubbles some people don’t seem to get that the character models are based on real women and these women agreed to be their models. Why is that so hard to understand?

Re: PC Players Are Fuming Until Dawn, God of War Ragnarok Appear to Require PSN Logins
@CWill97 PSN is region locked. Having it mandatory means that pc users in many countries can’t even buy the game

How will Sony expand their PC reach when they shove this mandatory PSN requirement, basically preventing 60% of the market to enter?
