@PixelDragon you want them to release it physically so you can sell it later on? They'd rather wait for you to buy it for half the price on the sale. Weird threat
@StrawberryTurtle yeah and switch sold 126m. You need to realize that xbox is not only a console but also windows. And you will realize that a huge game like ff16 barely gets 3m sold copies, while a niche game on PC gets almost 1m concurrent players
@StrawberryTurtle it any way people are moving to PC instead of sony. Not like sony is in danger right now but the trend is going. > It's not anecdotal, it's my experience. that's exactly what anecdotal means
@StrawberryTurtle microsoft is having a blast with people playing it on windows on PC. More people switch to pc = more people buying game pass @Gamer_Guy console exclusive is just a stupid term
@StrawberryTurtle it's weird to call something exclusive, yet console exclusive. I guess Sony's marketing department works good if people think they are getting special "exclusive" game 1 month after at least 1 million of people already played it. "console exclusive"
@species f3 and 4 were good games, skyrim is one the best games ever made. Watered down rpg experience? more like one of the best rpgs to RP cuz you can do anything you want. >they all were a buggy mess even months after release. Played morrowind, f3, skyrim on PC on release and it worked fine
@grimgaming > us true exploration That's how gaming worked pre ps3 > fusion and building minecraft (especially moded), fortnite > BG3 offers players unprecedented choice and outcome variety Have you played crpgs? Have you played morrowind? Have you played at least divinity os?
@grimgaming New? what are you talking about? Elden ring is basically Dark Souls 4, TOTK is BOTW2, Baldur's gate is DOS3 with dnd ruleset and forgotten realms lore. Elden ring and TOTK didn't risk anything. None of these are innovations. It's all evolution.
@OmegaStriver no, no, no. You're saying " desired experience that Insomniac desires requires a SSD." "requires a SSD". You're saying it as a fact. You haven't played the game, you know nothing to make those statements.
@OmegaStriver you haven't played the game on PC on HDD to know "the desired experience that Insomniac desires", yet you're saying it as a fact. I'm old enough to remember when Sony was selling me CGI movies saying it was in-game graphics
@NotSoCryptic "How does halos numbers line up with other single platform ip?" as far as I know it's better than Killzone or resistance numbers, dev bubble man
@playstation1995 you're arguing that going from 2D to 3D was not as impressive as going from 3D to a better 3D. You're probably too young to remember stuff
@Cloud7794 you can balance the difficulty. Like look at Ys games they are harder than any action FF game. But you can still play on the hardest difficulty right from the start. Challenging but rewarding
@SurgicalMenace for decades? is it some standard? Not really. Some games use this playthrough lock, some games don't use it. And FF series only started doing this in FF7R (if we're talking about the main series, cuz I'm not that familiar with the side games)
@Yaycandy you know naughty dog, sucker punch, bungie, Bluepoint Games, Guerrilla Games were acquired by sony? Sony gets FF, CoD exclusivity all the time. And it's just videogames. What they do to anime stuff is insane. Sony is not a "good" company. all they want is your money. For the players? Let's close PS3 store. More like for the payers. They've released PS5 like 2 years ago and still make games for ps4 cuz it will bring them more money. I can't blame them. But while you all call MS bad for doing the exact same thing, I see it as an opportunity for Sony to rise again, because sony got greedy and lazy lately. Competition is always great and sony wasn't competing with anyone during PS4 era
Trophies is something that you need to achieve. When games give you a trophy for "you've killed 1 enemy", "you've reloaded your gun for the first time", "you died" - it's just bad and what's the point? Achievements (scores, leaderboards) is something that was created to brag about. "yeah I've got a platinum in this game". If trophies are hard it's okay. Article complains: "wow you need to get every collectible" but that's exactly what I, my friends and other gamers were doing back on ps1. Getting lvl 100 in ff8 on the first island? we were grinding this stuff. We were speedrunning resident evil games to get costumes or weapons. And now people want a trophy for dying in a game? What an achievement
"One thing to note is that the poll is based on a shortlist of 50 games, which has been hand-selected by Push Square’s editors" welp. Asking for my GOTY, not even including it on the list
@Relygon syou're just calling people who got premium for full price idiots. I see. and too bad for you you've only played 2 games from your PS+, I finished more including premium games
@Ravix neither PS4 nor PS5 use discs to read data while playing. They use disc to install game on your HDD/SSD and as a DRM feature. So every game is still running from your disk drive and it doesn't affect load times
@pharos_haven yeah it's not really connected to the previous game except for some characters. But if you like how this game looks and you have at least a potato PC you can start with Trails in the sky
Or if you know Japanese and you have a Vita you can play Trails in the sky EVO version on Vita.
