Fanboys panicking over Playstation games, on PC, being bad for the consoles.... There have been Playstation games on PC for years now, and yet the PS5 keeps selling like hotcakes. As a PC gamer, I also enjoy consoles, and there is no signs, of Playstation consoles going away. I know PC gamers, that played Ghost of Tsushima on PC, and bought a PS5 now, so they didn't have to wait for the PC port of Yotei.
The PS Store, used to be the last one, that hadn't drowned in shovelware yet, compared to Switch and Steam... It's just gonna get worse, unless Sony starts to moderate the damn store.
Having a simple toggle for "PSSR on/off" in the settings of the system itself, would be a cure for the problem. Let the players have the choice of what upscaler to use, just like on PC.
And this is why a complete physical of these open world games are pointless, as it would only contain a beta with gamebreaking bugs. Or a game of the year edition, where most of the bugs are fixes, before putting it on a disc.

The internet, and especially social media, have made the entire world grumpy and nitpicky.
I've noticed this, with myself at times, as you're dragged down in a pit, due to all the negativity. It's why I spend less time on the internet, and removed sh*t like Facebook a long time ago.
Internet drama, definitely doesn't help with my depression...
@Truegamer79
Well we bought the consoles for:
Gears of War
Forza (and the Horizon series)
Riddick
Fable
Ninja Gaiden
Dead or Alive 3
Star Wars: KOTOR
Morrowind
etc etc
Plenty of people also bought the 360, because third party games. ran at higher resolution and framerates. Red Dead Redemption was SO much smoother on the 360.
Did you miss that Xbox 360 dominated, during the first years of the 360/PS3 generation. It wasn't until 3-4 years later, and the release of the slim and games like Uncharted, that PS3 began to really sell. 360 (84 million) and PS3 (87 million).
So yeah, even people, with no interest in Halo, bought Xbox consoles.
For a handheld, sure, but for a regular home console...what's the point? 🤣 It's not like PS5 and the Pro is power hungry, like an high end gaming PC anyway.
This game (like most openworld games) are gonna have so many game breaking bugs and months/years of updates and new gameplay features/changes, that a disc with a complete v1.0 on it, wont even be worth playing.
Except for well optimized first party games, what we get on the discs, are often just a beta version.
This game will still sell, as 95 procent of gamers, won't even know or care about it.
Aloy is such an incredibly boring and forgettable main character. It has nothing to do with her looks, but the lack of personality. She's as exciting as a wet fart.
Astro Bot is the best 3D platformer, I've played, since the first Super Mario Galaxy.
So many new gimmicks introduced, that it kept feeling fresh all the way to the end.
Playstation needs more games like this.
It's the only game I miss, when I sold my PS5.
This is one of those few games, where I wouldn't mind a remaster, same with Resistance. The PS3 games suffer from horrible framerate drops, which almost turns into a slide show at times. I wish Sony would just make a PS3 emulator, so we could play our old discs. The PS5 is strong enough.
To the ones that own the OG or Slim, don't waste money on the Pro (like I did), save the money for a MUCH bigger jump in performance, with the PS6.
Though Sony needs to get their sh*t together, before I buy another PS console. More first party AA games, to fill in the void between the PS6 exclusive AAA games. Instead of filling it, with remasters and cross-gen games. PS5 never felt like a proper generation, but more like a PS4 Pro 2 Deluxe.
I haven't really enjoyed Tekken, since the PS1-PS2 era. The magic is gone. And I'm so tired of all the DLC/Seasons crap. Feel like you never get a complete game anymore.
Definitely want a new Castlevania, but not if they turn it into a souls game. Bloodbourne already felt like Souls-vania, with the gothic setting.
I'd be interested in both a new 2D (made by M2) and 3D game. Also glad that Konami delivered Salamander 3. And hopefully another Gradius in the near future. Wish M2 did the latest 2D Contra, instead of Wayforward...
Comparing a big budget HBO show, with a project made by a small indie low budget studio?
"Midnight Embers is self-funded, and the team works remotely with top-tier professionals across the global TV and film industry."
It's a youtube channel, which has some "connections". But zero mention of who, and zero info of what streaming service this will be on. I bet it's gonna be Youtube, from their own channel.
So yeah, this is just a fan project, done with the permission of the developers of the game.
Finished the game last night, and I loved it.
Started New Game + now, and there are lots of differences, compared to the first campaign. Gonna be interesting to see how this one ends.
Looking forward to the next SH game.
Plus, we're getting a SH1 remake
