It is hard to say... sell 1 million copies per 70bucks each or 5 milions per 40bucks...

When Demon's Souls came it was fun. Than Dark Souls, OK. But now is every "souls-like" gameplay boring. I'll play it (if ever) when it comes to PS Plus monthly games. And of course on Story Mode.

I'm used to 15 fps, so anything faster is bonus.

@LifeGirl Ohh, you mean numbers... Of course mobile is huge, because asians are crazy in buying game mtx on mobile. But it doesn't mean gamers want it and mobile games are good.

Leave future content in code is stupid and some kind of betrayal on players.

@LifeGirl I disagree except that part about layoffs. Mobile area is one big junkyard and people rather shift back to PC rather than mobile. AI is so soulless people soon start to reject it more than now. And physical will be, in some form, still around as same as books.

@REALAIS I've played all NFS except Shift 1 and 2. The only one I've replayed was Underground 1 and NFS4 High Stakes. And must say I'm glad to have that opportunity to finish all till Undercover. But I also must say I don't know if I've finished those new ones? It is like to say I don't know if I've red the book till the end. And that is the problem. I won't invest into new NFS, because I don't know if I've completed previous titles... so I still have NFS to play? Total confusion.

I don't care fps while the game is fun. I rather care I can switch off artificial effects like motion blur, chromatic aberration or ray tracing.

@REALAIS Of course I've seen it. 61% gamers play OLD games, so they DON'T need new GaaSes. Overall gaming time is going down, so people welcome shorter games to be able complete them in acceptable time. Then they realise they need new game.

Companies are acting absolutely the opposite. They are trying to make longer than long games and what do they expect? That some of those 61% faithful cross for long time? Those who have time for short sessions buys another game, while they are in first quarter of current game?

Lots of gamers have huge backlog from PS3/PS4 era and rather pick there instead of thinking about buying "endless" new game.

@REALAIS Yes, common sense from business has lost. It is more profitable to sell "one time" game every 2-3 years than sell one in 10 years and 2-3 years waste resources on upgrading it, before moving to start making another one. Every company is chasing some shadow of Fortnite's milking cow, completely loosing focus on anything else. Destroying their own IPs, screwing what was working, implement mainstream mechanisms even if it goes straight against game itself...

@REALAIS there is no need for Diablo MMO, D4 is more than enough. There is huge need for singleplayer - coop Diablo game. ...and Diablo himself... MMOers can stick to D4 and its seasons which Diablo fans don't care.

@Cutmastavictory Yes, D3 was kind of weird. Map was set too (at least it had random filling), singleplayer was added only on consoles, auction house misstep, respec skills idiocy... lot of things sucked on D3.

@REALAIS Maybe Diablo 5 will set back to track.

No comment. I'm still pretty angry and sad how they "destroyed" Diablo franchise. Let me know when - Singleplayer, offline, enemies non-respawn, map unexplored for new characters, set items, endless paragon, replay story on higher difficulty - version is released.

Bad manager consider it as bug. Good manager consider it as feature, release paid emulator and resell PSP games, but that is just thinking of poor fool...

@__jamiie PS2 and PS3 games fills most of my library. Great era, where games were not as long as last week before payday and were way simpler e.g. lot of fun.

I must say I'm avoiding games, where BEFORE release they anounce DLCs, "roadmaps", battle passes and any other post-release content. I like to have games "complete" on release, play them, enjoy them, finish them and remember them.

ohhh 500+ hours on MW2, MW3 and MW4... give it to me.

First of April was yesterday...

Looking forward Immortals. I wanted it since launch.

I've noticed that most of games nowadays get screwed with patch 1.3 (or 1.03) ???

Just focus on that and soon you find out best games versions are 1.0, 1.1 or max 1.2

Gaming industry deserve to be in flames because of stupid concept they established.

@NeonPizza Ohh mam, Ghosts n Goblins is platform brutality! 😀 I've finished it few years ago on PSP and it took buckets of sweat.

I liked PC era of platformers like Commander Keen, Jill of the Jungle or Prehistoric.

Immortals and Skul. YES
Minecraft. NO

Gameplay looks great and real, so why on the other hand movies looks artificial like taken from Sims 1???

Thanx for reminder, pushsquare. I checked my capture options if they are still all switched off. Now update where I can get rid off all activity cards and I'll be happy like puppy.

If it is followed by release of at least 5 AAA (not AAAA) singleplayer PS5 ONLY games, than it may have some sense.

...but it never happens.

Marvel! Interest raised to 100% Multiplayer! Interest lowered to 0%.

@NeonPizza My words. They have full mouth of "how perfectly challenging is this <insert souls-like rpg name>" but if it is about challenging platformer they cry like little babies. They used to automatic jumps which are in all games now.

...da hell I get lust for replaying Prince of Persia Sands of Time triology. 🤣

How to disable showing this article every week in Timeline?

@Reverend49 I bought PS5 to play great games. Lots of them are flop, lots are weird and only a few are great. The rest is made for PS4 also...

@TrickyDicky99 same here. two years back I bought around 10 ps5 games (8 times I burned my fingers with pretty bad choice). Last year it was just Diablo 4 (big flop) and FF16.

...and that's why I stopped buying games and clearing my singleplayer backlog...

I'm not willing to support wasting my money on GaaSes. When tides turn then we will see. Enough is I paid PS+ for this year... but no more money for Sony from my side.

@Pranwell My argument was rather fps is the very last thing that bothers me in game.

It is fun to see how people whine on "30fps is almost unplayable". You should live in era of first OpenGL games, where was no fps lock and you was happy to play game even on 16fps.

Is there some huge weapon so I can play game in "Dynasy Warriors" style?

Bad manager focus on increasing profit.
Good manager focus on perfect product.

It is already out, it is series and it's called "Days of our lives"

"Go and kill that final boss for me."
"No sir, why should I do that?"
"Because I'm hero on level 1 with sword in hand that can cut your throat in a blink of an eye. Now stop talking and go kill that final boss!!!"

let's see how soon whole game population extinct or run away...

I hope there can be option to switch off Ray Tracing at all. That image us horrible and lighting is way more artificial.

People will always complain about things they get for free...

It will be interesting to see Sonic in another Castle Crusher rip off...

@2here2there II could be best if there is no "defend casket" final fight. The most annoying finish I remember in my huge gaming history.

I remember Macross from NES. Great game...

Wow!!! THOSE are improvements we always wanted!!! (sarcasm)

God of War 3, pinnacle of whole series. 1 and 2 were great, but 3 was outstanding. ...and then GoW went down the hill...

@Bamila Perfect idea! They should make one huge multiplayer GaaS for those few who want it and stop bother the world with another GaaSes and finally focus on singleplayer. But this simple logic doesn't meet with Sony's lust for flushing money down the toilet...

"...enthusiasts continue to demand bigger and better games remains to be seen."

"Better" demands players also, "bigger" is highly questionable

@KidRisky While everybody knows demo is one time thing, some of them are time limited e.g. unplayable later, so why it should plague my library? This is pretty bad system for demos.

BTW I use "hide" in library to separate finished games.

I'm dreaming of game, where NPCs are killable so I can anytime freely jump on final enemy and smash his face, before he tries something...

And I thought I was sole firestarter here on pushsquare... 🤣

Anyway

I don't play demos since I've tried one (FF7R demo) and it got stuck in library, cannot be deleted from library and won't disappear even if you get full version. Seriously, why it should be in library forever?
