Re: Ex-PlayStation Boss Believes Exclusives Make Consoles 'Sing'

Vyse_the_Legend

Exclusives are always important for consoles, games are also best made if it's developed for one system and unlike what many people say on the internet, exclusives are pro-consumer and not anti-consumer since they give the ones who buy them a better experience than if they were multiplatform.

Also Layden should have compared Mario to Astro.

Re: PS5 Is Edging Out the Switch 2 in the UK So Far This Year

Seems weird comparing a 12 month sales with a 6 month one but it's still good news to see the PS5 selling well.

PlayStation is the strongest console brand in Europe so this isn't surprising but after 5 years seeing it still being strong is fantastic news indeed.

I wonder if PS5 will sell close to PS4 numbers, if not out selling it.

Re: Poll: Five Years of PS5 - How Would You Rate Sony's Console?

I'm fine with my PlayStation 5 for now, I don't think I will need a PlayStation 6 in a near future, but you never know I don't think the PlayStation 5 will be my last console but I have no need right now to buy a new system.

In my opinion the PlayStation 6 should be released in 2030 in the earliest but Sony most likely will release it in 2028.

Also I love my PlayStation 5 library. Most of them aren't exclusive, but games are games, even though most of them are retro.

Re: People Don't Buy Anywhere Near As Many Games As You Think

This doesn't seem as bad as Circana makes it seem doesn't seem as different as my childhood when my parents bought me only 2 games a year (once for my birthday and another on Christmas). They should show numbers instead of percentages.

That being said, I still buy games but day 1 purchases are rare, not only because of money, but also because there are still many games that were released long ago that I still have to play. Plus I am one of those 1% of gamers who still replay their favourite single player games, even this year I replayed a couple.

@ErrantRob The combat is turn based, but also exciting, because movement and the position of your characters is important and you can attack your enemies multiple times depending how close of your enemy you are. Learning curve is difficult but if you understand how the combat works it's fun in my opinion.

Story isn't bad, but I don't think it's well told. If you want the platinum you have to play 2 play throughs, but doing the new game + you can beat the story in 2-3 hours (yeah the game is very grindy). Just keep in mind many story NPC's are weird, maybe it's because in the way the citizens live in the game, weird though that's only the rich who don't act normal.

What made me return to the game, is the combat, which is clearly the highlight of the game.
