I don't disagree in many aspects, but I can't say it hasn't been convenient. Xbox Game Pass is tied to my phone contract, not every game I want to play is there, but the selection is good enough to keep me from buying games. Games are 60 now for 1 game. If I want to play 12 games, that's 720. Sure, I could wait for a sale or buy used, or I could just not pay extra since I have a subscription. In today's economy, I buy 1 game, maximum 2 a year.
The only issue is see with subscriptions is the sustainable cost for the developers. It's a bargain for me, but a trash deal for them. Everything else is subjective, just like ROI (Return on Investment). If I don't see value in spending 720 quid a year, chances are I'm not doing it, especially if it's a game I play once and never again.
I believe there is a future for it, but there's a long way to go.
Is it possible to be higher than 1, or is it just a default option for all games? If it's the former, is there another game you have higher than #1, like #0 — according to Bleach, in the Arrancar arc, the number 0 is the highest of them all.
Sony has found their market and it's not Japan. Top sales now are dedicated to new releases and best of all-time games (i.e. GTA V, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe etc.) Highly doubt they care since the performance of PS5 remains high and if they don't care, neither do I.
This is what I've been saying since 2017! Games like Breath of the Wild may be pretty but have nothing going on. You can walk for 1 hour and nothing pops up. GTA V for comparison, walk for 1 hour and you'll see cops chasing NPCs, Security Vans, people trying to rob you, people robbing others and more — that gives the world depth and character.
Shadow of the Colossus had open world with an empty design, but it was made at a time where memory was expensive. Nowadays, Devs make games in "post-apocalyptic" worlds so they don't have to give depth to it. If that's what we're supporting then our standards in general has gone lower than low.
Imagine paying to be a beta tester lmao. It's just a joke, pls don't attack me. But yeah, it's probably the PS5 fetching for information and sending energy to the wrong bay.
It's Twisted Metal. That or the game that every PlayStation fan loves: The Lost Chronicles of Parappa the Rapper and it's bringing 2Pac back for a grand return.
One game: Monster Hunter World. Maybe Final Fantasy VII Remake, but that's really it. I'm starting to feel the "One-N-Done" that Xbox fans talk about. Value over quantity, lads.
Is this the first time in the history of gaming where I read the lines "Sony is not responsible for X game not working on Y console — the issue has to be fixed by the developers"?
I see it now... A small light of hope for the community. It's tiny, but hope nonetheless.
I had to buy Sonic Generations from the mobile store because the PS3 store is poo-poo kaa-kaa. This choice, though logical, makes no sense to the consumer.
PixelOpus and Japan Studio are PlayStation's best studios. If y'all wanna fight me on that, please send an email to my secretary. My agenda is already full.
Yeah, I too get very upset for not getting daily updates on the PS5. I mean, it's coming out in less than 50 days, least they could do is provide updates every 6 hours.
@jacobia You have to do it with both sticks at the same time (coordination is key) whilst rotating the controller 360° in the Y-axis and mashing the R2 & L2 rhythmically to a song of your choice.
I don't understand why worry. When the price is revealed, it's revealed. Simple, no need for a plan or a marketing overhaul event. They have people who handle this stuff and when it's ready, it's ready. Alright? Okay, moving on.
So, this game is just platforming, right? This is why PlayStation needs more platformers without guns. This game is so pure, it's almost nostalgic to N64 days.
Another thing about Dusk Golem, I read the entire Twitter thread and there's a comment he made saying: "I know this may be hard to hear, but it's what's going to happen" — like he's actually developing a game for it. Then to defend his whole rumour he says: "for time and time again, we've been hearing that Sony would wait for Microsoft to show their price first to under cut them and look they haven't announced a price yet" — how dense can this man be? Sony themselves said what their strategy was BEFORE the official PS5 reveal.
I don't think Phil's comment should be viewed as an attack. He explored his philosophy and he's more than right in his own regard. Xbox hasn't been about the console recently, they care more about softwares and how players can play those games. That's why they're willing to take a huge loss in console sales, that's not how they make money.
They should get Shift Up instead. Wouldn't be an overhaul acquisition, but PlayStation lacks a series of genres, such as JRPG, Arcade fighting and shooting, platforming and horror. They need all of those back.
@carlos82 User ratings on Metacritic are as purposeful as the dislike button on YouTube — not very purposeful. Publishers only care about the meta score since that's what's marketable.
At first, it made sense to me, but then I was shown they also listed Breath of the Wild for PC. But we'll see how the events unfold, because no one loses with this move.
