@Vorflynn Unfortunately most studios are owned by publishers and they don't care quality. They set release date and care ONLY sales. They've been given too much power and they turned fun into mass production. And unfortunately customers accepted it and buy (even blindly preorder) like a crazy everything and than complain about quality ...but buy.

It is like Netflix, daily new movies, zero artistic value.

@GeeEssEff OK, I have a taste to play... ohh I have to browse my 230+ games library to find THAT game. I found it... but I like to listen to my favorite music... ohh it is not on Spotify, nevermind I have it on flash in mp3... ohh it cannot be played, because no media player, nevermind I have it on CD and PS5 have mechanic... ohh it hasn't any CD player...

Don't know how more explain PS4 could do ALL of this and there is no reason why PS5 cannot but still can't.

I still see PS5 as a flop. We are in half lifetime and except FF16 there is nothing you cannot play also on PS4.

PS5 is that "electric car". It looks different (design), unfinished (UI, themes, folders), is quiet and has some interresting gadgets (trophy tracking, playtime count), BUT it is car as other, you cannot go faster because of traffic (games optimized for PS4), and it still eats your wallet (expensive games, constant controller charging) and those gadgets are not that good or doesn't work properly.

Singleplayer shooter is one big win in these dark times of multiplayer s*itstorm, but you have to make it at least appeal. I'm still looking forward buying this game, but I suggest half of that marketing budget went on word "repetitive". It is great to make something new, but artificial prolongation by repeating something... that was almost whole PS3 era. It doesn't work anymore.
