Re: Square Enix Bafflingly Backtracks on Final Fantasy 16 Sales, Blames 'Slow' PS5 Adoption

@Ray_Ray_Regasis So you have no evidence as to why it’s a failure.

You instead call me stupid because metacritic and open critic can be spammed with good reviews.

If the game drops that much it still sells 400K in week 2 which puts it at 3.5M sold after two weeks. It’s been another month since then. 400K a week would put it at 5.1M sold so far. If you want to argue it’s closer to 4.5M go for it?

Wokeism? What parts are you referring to?

@Ray_Ray_Regasis What metric are you using to determine it has failed?

It sits at 87 on metacritic with 8.2 user score, plus an 88 on open critic. It had sold about 5M copies now I believe which is over 10% of the PS5 install base.

Square said it fell into their expectations but not at the top of them. To say it’s a failure would require some evidence which I suspect doesn’t exist.

Now if you just want to say you didn’t like it, that’s fine, but not a “failure”.

Re: PS5's Pro Controller, the DualSense Edge, Is the Best-Selling Accessory in the US

@Dark_Knight I don’t play our switch that much but the kids almost never charge that controller so I can believe the 40 hour life on it. I got an Xbox elite controller for Father’s Day and its life has to be at least 30 hours.

I have two regular dual sense controllers so one is always docked so not a big deal that the lifespan is like 6 hours but I agree they should have our more effort into a better battery.

Re: Killing Treasure Goblins Is About to Become a Lot More Rewarding in Diablo 4

The actual game itself is great, up to the point where you hit max level. I personally don’t feel there is enough past that to keep people interested. Once I hit 100 my interest waned quickly.

I have no regrets about playing it, throughly enjoyed my time with it. Just needs more interesting things to do at max level. This kind of update is much needed but isn’t an attention keeper.

@Reptilio Curious why you didn’t like the story?

I thought the game starts out slow because of the way the combat was limited at the beginning. By the end the combat was great and I really enjoyed the story.

Some of the side quests were….not great.

Re: The Latest PS5 Firmware Update Is Available Now, Here Are the Patch Notes

FatalBubbles

@KilloWertz You must have all the luck! I played probably 6 or so hours of FF this week and, checks PS5 playtime tracker, PS5 says I did not. The time tracker has proven to be absolute garbage for me. I know it’s off by 70 hours for Diablo. There are lots of things they could update to make it better, the playtime tracker was just the one that was currently annoying me the most.

@JAMes-BroWWWn Is there hard evidence for this? I remember reading some devs say that they weren’t even able to be part of a sale because Sony didn’t “invite” them to it.

What you’re saying is certainly not true for physical games as stores can charge whatever they want for them. Digital could be different but I’m not sure why it would be?
