@Johnnycide Sony is looking to post an extremely lucrative year, lol. You might not be alone, but you’re wildly outnumbered. All you’re really doing is robbing yourself of enjoyment to send a whimper of a message no one will ever hear.
I guess I just don’t understand the AI slop hate, other than the virtue signal, when 99% of advertising is just human slop. Seriously, people think all advertising is Apple and Bud Light commercials. Like, that’s the gold standard, 1% advertising. 99% of the rest is literal garbage just produced by humans instead.
I think the big difference is by this time in the PS4 life cycle it was far inferior to the PS5. I don’t believe for 1 second the PS5 will have nearly the gap to the PS6 meaning you can easily keep gaming on a PS5 with relevant games longer. Even when the PS6 comes out in a few years they won’t stop releasing PS5 versions far into the future. Maybe PS5 doesn’t lose game support the entire PS6 cycle. A part of me feels like this is why Sony won’t drop the price. They know even if you went and bought a base PS5 right now you could easily game on it for a full decade more.
Problem is when 63% of people only buy a maximum of 2 titles a YEAR, there's little incentive to spend time with huge overhauls for the store. Maybe you could try to argue that if the digital store was better it would lead to more sales. But I doubt it. The fact is this is once again another gaming issue that only the 1% crash out about and you're heavily outmatched by the average person who doesn't give a damn. It would be great to see all of those suggestions implemented. I will expect to see none actually happen though.
@Hylian-Likely honestly it's a better idea as you know the daughter in this game will turn out right after all the work whereas you raise a human and it's 50/50 whether all the work is for nothing in the end.
This game will wildly underperform at launch. There is no way the majority are picking this over other titles. I feel like some of these companies need to figure out better release strategies.
I really feel like you’re dumb if you buy Xbox games day 1. They literally go on sale not even a month later. And that gives you enough time to see how bland they are and if they’re even worth paying half off. Most still aren’t.
I am cool with a sequel, a prequel, or something brand new, as long as they keep the style of game the same. I can't imagine they would shift away from turn-based RPG. Sometimes you do need to stay in your lane when you have complete control of the lane you are in.
@ShadowRJ ND was just too scared to give people a choice in whether or not to kill Abby because they know 90% of the players would have killed her and it would force them to swallow the pill that no one liked Abby. Suckerpunch did it right in Ghost of Tsunami. You walk a player through an entire journey and let them decide how they feel in the end.
I'm just going to go out and say it. Tom Holland is the most overrated actor I have ever seen and Tobey Maguire's Spiderman is still the far superior of the series.
I am convinced all the creatives responsible for our favorite IP of the past no longer work at the big studios but I believe have been scattered over the last 5 years to indie studios. It explains why Sony can't come up with original IP and just produce sequels now, of which most are mediocre at best. Or why when you buy Bungie for almost 4 billion dollars to realize most of the people truly responsible for it's successful IPs were long gone by then.
This game will be on sale in a few weeks so maybe then. No surprise either the new content they add is utterly terrible. If anyone thought this group could resurrect the Halo IP at some point, the new content they added should put that rest quickly.
@Mr-Cage I don’t know what it’s like for the rest of the world, because I don’t care about the rest of the world, but here in America you go into politics to get rich, not help people.
MS isn't making $70 games anymore. Anything coming from them shouldn't be priced any higher than $50 max. They are a bunch of glorified AA studios at this point.
You mean a guy wants to do 5 games assuring his team work for like 2 decades? Just sounds like a good boss. Seems like 2-3 games is where this one would land too in reality.
I would rather see more Dead Space, but honestly with Capcom doing Pragmata now, or even the Chronos studio, like I’d just rather wait for them. Need For Speed has been outclassed by Forza coming to PS. Like other studios are doing all of their dormant IP better anyways.
My guess is you’ll be able to watch a 10 minute YouTube video about the revelations and this is really just to try and get more GoW fans who actually want GoW to give this a try.
@dskatter you do realize this doesn’t effect the +80% of us who buy digital though, right? This only affects people who need a plastic box on their Ikea shelf.
@DennisReynolds so you think Ubisoft stock tanking is a sign that shareholders believe that Shadows and other Ubi products sold fine at the time? I really hope someone else in your household manages your finances.
@Pat_trick $20 says you've spent more time today trolling the internet while your physical games collect dust on a shelf than actually playing them, lol.
@naruball also the games for Switch have been wildly better and more plentiful than anything on Wii and Cube ever had. N64 had some bangers for people with nostalgia syndrome but these console generations seriously lacked games.
@SMJ That's because when people remember fond things they take a small clip and preserve that in their mind and then convince themselves an entire experience or point in time was amazing when in reality you've just blocked out all the bad that surrounded the brief amount of good.
I guess these are just articles for the chuds at this point because it doesn't take much to find that while hardware sales might be down, PS revenue hit a record high this year. So what does it matter if Sony sells less PS units if they still rake in cash doing so? I feel like people think Sony are going to look at declining hardware sales, and then just ignore increasing overall profitability, and then go hey our bad, let's drop the price again and also add back the disc drive, lol. You all still aren't winning this war.
@hel105 nope. They’re all the same. Great art. Cool mechanics. Boobs. But extremely shallow and you eventually hit a F2P wall of grind for hundreds of hours or pay money.
Given the style of game this is, it’s not going to be made or broken by a VA. You could have put all the best VA’s in Lost Soul Aside and that game would still have been ass.
@Oram77 what mob are you referring to? The mob of Twitter and Reddit losers who rarely ever buy anything and if they do wait for the deepest sale? They’ve never supported anything anyways.

Re: In the Busiest Gaming Month of the Year, PS5's Control Resonant Will Take Up a Lot of Your Time
@RoomWithaMoose 8 hours for a AAA game is way too short. I would say 15-20 is the range that feels respected.
