@Czar_Khastik I thought it was because the owner Microsoft, is a small indie company that needs what little money it receives from Minecraft for other projects.
@caiol92 strongly agree. Wayyy too many people deluding themselves into thinking that "30 fps is unplayable." Entire generations played enjoyed games at that or even lower framerates!! Its insane
I will agree that this is noticeable. It's clear Sony should've used third-party games for its presentation. I guess they didnt want to dump on how bad third party games are on the base PS5.
However - this isn't good enough for me at that price. I'd pay more for a much noticeable difference, which means going on PC.
The fact that Geoff couldnt let it go shows how ego much he has. If he really cares, maybe he'll think twice next time about prioritizing corporate interests over gamers
There's a user on the Nintendo sister site who is really extreme when it comes to any reference to anything adult... so I guess they're going to skip this game haha.
@PsBoxSwitchOwner I cant see an individual blade of grass 1 km away - do i need my eyes tested? Because thats just as useful as the difference between both consoles
@SlySnake0407 Fully agree. So tired of this. Finish the game and move on. I hate how people expect every game now, even single player games to keep dropping content. No game should be expected to be played forever
Edit: If this was a large DLC then sure, but a few cutscenes, not to mention graphical fixes and bugs, shouldve been in the game in the beginning. Remember when people got angry that Mass Effect 3 was incomplete, and even when they released the extended cut EA still got slammed for putting in late? Those were better days
Completely absurd that a stealth-based game gives the player so few tools to use. A slowly charging silent shot, a knockout that must be used very close, and the animal companion. Thats it. Cant even hide bodies. Metal Gear Solid figured out how to make stealth fun and varied decades ago!
@Jacko11 Like I thought, you don't know game dev. RDR2 was in development before GTAO came out, and GTA VI still isnt out and its 2024. Neither depended on the money made from GTA Online. That money went to shareholders and execs. But you know what was cancelled? Single player dlc for GTAV. 😂😂
Sounds like a snoozefest. But you know what? At least I know I might be able to pick up this game 2 years from now at 20$. You know what game I wont be able to play in 2 months? Concord.
As has been proven over and over, casual gamers form the majority of gamers (see the success of the PS Portal, if you dont believe me). And if you have other hobbies besides gaming (a casual), then shelling out at least 1500 USD for a moderately good gaming PC is absolutely not going to happen. Same with parents who dont have time to mess with settings. Same with people who live in poor countries. A PS5 is still the best deal for these people. Exclusives also dont matter to them because they will not play on PC. I believe those numbers. I know the hard core community wants to believe they are the most important group, but sadly they arent for the companies making games
@LikelySatan no, Atlus said it wouldn't release a special edition like P5 Royale or P4 Golden. This isnt a special edition - this is dlc. So fans dont have to rebuy the base game just to get additional content
This game is far harder to play than usual hero shooters, if you try to run around shooting you will die quickly. More like Counterstrike. I wouldnt compare Valorant to those games to be honest.
@Flippygruffle It's only been 4 years. Sorry, but that's nothing in today's game development environment.
Factions 2 was never going to be the limited MP game some people think it would have been. It would've been a massive live service game like Suicide Squad, Redfall or Anthem... need I say more?
Number of lines doesn't tell me much, it has to be quality dialogue - or have we all forgotten Forspoken? Neither the gameplay reveal and certainly not the character trailers have been compelling for me. I desperately want to be wrong as I want to see an epic finale to a series I first started playing more than a decade ago with DA:O.
Gaming is for everyone... but not all games are for every person, just like any other kind of art. A game that was specifically designed for certain difficulties is much better than taking a game, changing some modifiers, calling it easy and calling it a day. Difficulty is part of the art itself. And acknowledging that is not gatekeeping.
Some of these comments are exactly why these leaks are so dangerous - the game is not finished, and most what makes a game triple A game (graphics, smoothness, overall feel) only come in late when the structure is finished. But some people judge a game as a finished product from these leaks...
While I distrust Ubisoft, I strongly distrust Eurogamer especially after their completely nonsensical review of FF16. So, I'll wait and see for the actual reviews
Please yes, they've really done fantastic work so far with the FF7 trilogy. I love how they've added meaningful story and character arcs, rather than the slop of lazy 1 for 1 remakes and remasters that this generation is cursed with
Stunning that WB games had the most successful game in 2023, which was single-player, then a massive bomb in Suicide Squad this year - a direct result of it being a live-service game, and still wants to only do live service multiplayer. So much creative bankruptcy in this industry at the AAA level
@Pistolega FF Rebirth is a full game. 80+ hours, full character arcs, full narrative arcs. Its like saying Empire Strikes Back isnt a full movie because its the 2nd of a trilogy. Just doesnt make sense
Lot of misunderstandings here on what is a monopoly. If the Playstation Store is the only place you can buy games digitally for the PS5, then it is a monopoly. You cannot buy PS5 games digitally anywhere else - it is a monopoly. 7/11 is not a monopoly - you can buy your toothpaste elsewhere. Sony has used its monopoly to artificially set its prices high. Steam, for example, is not , as there are other digital storefronts to buy digital PC games - and they have far better sales as a result.
