@Reptilio of course we all have, no one is innocent of that. But I’m glad you decided to give it another shot if it brings you joy. Happy gaming!

@Reptilio dude, why would you put so much stock into review scores? If you were sold on it before then, surely a few subjective numbers wouldn’t be enough to sway your opinion?

@MikeOrator they most certainly did need that win. If Xbox locked down exclusivity to a new Ninja Gaiden, because the first one was (timed) exclusive, I’d buy an Xbox in a heartbeat 🤣

Honestly though, it seems to be more Xbox fans coming to PS to troll than the other way around. I read comments on PX and there’s the usual offenders here, over on there slamming Sony still, saying how terrible the fans are while coming on here to troll. It’s just sad.

@Reptilio didn’t you say on PX that you cancelled your pre-order?

@MikeOrator it’s bad because you’re not cheering for their favourite plastic box, you’re only cheering for yours.

I’ll cheer for the other plastic boxes when they do something I feel cheer-worthy.

Sure, Starfield is doing great things for Xbox now but it’s not a reason for me to cheer because it’s not enough for me to want to get an Xbox. I also love that since you don’t agree with the echochamber of praise, you’re salty because you can’t have it.

Hey man, throw some Jager in that red bull and now it’s a party!

@MikeOrator happy to help, love your profile pic!

@SplooshDmg, follow your own advice.

@Cashews see, I'm opposite, life IS short (very much agree) there is no judgement after death so there's nothing wrong with overindulgence, and I can't take my wealth with me so I may as well enjoy what I can because there won't be another opportunity to do as such.

"Just my personal way of doing things. I do this in all things except bars and vacations."

Bahahahaha, laughing with you on this, there's always exceptions to the rule.

@Cashews Why restrict yourself from having a good time?

@Cashews to quote one of my favourite songs "f*ck anything retro", but if floats your goats then I won't be the one to let them sink.

But yeah, I can't even keep a spiderplant alive 🤣

Sorry, you haven't played the RE4 remake yet?

@Cashews I bought a GC for RE4 and it was worth every penny, the second time I bought it was on the Wii and I absolutely loved how they implemented motion controls.

If only they would have done it for the Switch version as well, le sigh.

@MikeOrator sure dude, go to your local Home Depot, buy a patch, get some lumber, build a little box with a bottom the size of said patch, lay said patch in box.

If you buy a patch small enough, you can even carry it with you where you go so you can touch grass anywhere!

@Cashews cough cough RE4 cough cough

@Cashews how could it not be one of the most successful RPGs when it's playable on almost everything?

Would it be as successful as it was if it stayed only on the 7th Gen, when it was released?

@Godot25 it's great to see the newest entry in a 20 year old franchise with a huge fanbase be just as good as a new IP from a small dev team with minimal additional content.

I can't wait for Housemarque's next new IP on PS5 😁

@hypnotoad you can do it! You're the hypnotoad!

@Tatarimokke apparently Sony Santa Monica are working on a sci-fi RPG.

@Ravix "if you are on the fence... just buy BG3 if you've ever enjoyed any kind of deep, layered RPG before. I'm in love with it already 😍"

Same. Took the gamble and was glad I did, easily be one of the best games this year.

@Cherip-the-Ripper MS had to make that a multiplat because it was crowd-funded. It certainly wasn't from the goodness of their hearts.

Todd Howard has praised Starfield's exclusivity for its development and how it would still be in development if it were multiplat as well. Now that people at Xbox are praising exclusivity, will the Xbox enthusiasts change their tone as well now that they're seeing the benefits of console exclusivity? There will probably be praise of it again when Indiana Jones is released, again, a game that was meant to be multiplat.

Sony is still publishing multiplat games as well, everything Bungie does and Helldivers 2 will be releasing on PC as well.

@Godot25 whoops, thought you mean BG games and not BGS games.

Are they? Don't care, console wise they always sold best on PS and the same would probably still be true if SF remained multiplat as it was originally intended.

@eltomo nah, they're over there complaining about review-bombing being done by Sony fans whilst forgetting the fact they'll be doing the exact same when Spider-Man 2 drops.

@MoorePs5 hahaha damn, shots fired.

@Shigurui that’s what I thought, thanks!

@Shigurui all I’ve read is that MS was concerned Sony was going for timed exclusivity on it, is there any solid proof in writing that they were? And sure it may have become multiplat yet if it were to be only timed exclusive on PS5, more would have still been able to play it when that time ran out

@clvr how is it not plausible that it sold more than BG3 because it launched on 2 platforms, vs 1, where the majority of people have already been playing it on PC?

@Godot25 all it took was them to remove a new IP off an existing platform (where it was fully intended to be released) where it made the most of its sales.

@UltimateOtaku91 I wonder if its success will encourage Phil Spencer to make all Bethesda IP exclusive to Xbox, including the legacy IP like TES and FO.

Phil’s comments seem to be worded so he doesn’t need to remain committed to what he says.

Ole Todd Howard preaches how exclusivity benefited Starfield, I wonder if we’ll see a tonal shift on the Xbox side now regarding exclusives since Starfield is the success that Xbox needed.

@MakersMark your entirely subjective opinion is just that, subjective.

There are plenty of people who are finding this gen to be fantastic and enthused with what’s coming down the pipeline.

You could always stop buying games and sell your PS5 if you feel so strongly about it.

@naruball I’m so glad to have hobbies and things to do outside of gaming.

@naruball yeah there’s definitely some people with a screw loose on here. What gets me is if you go over on PX there are some people who comment that Sony is terrible and how PlayStation fans are the worst and yet they’re over here trolling.

It can’t be that bad of a game, I never got into it but it’s rated higher than Starfield over on Metacritic and Opencritic.

@Sil_Am it’s not even so much vibrance as colour depth.

Colour vibrancy can lead to colours getting washed out and lesser detail. Always good to set that colour temperature to a warmer setting to really help to show off the depth.

@Beerheadgamer82 agree, HDR has been huge for gaming and it was a huge improvement during the mid gen refresh last gen.

Also, wow, Insomniac know how to make great looking games.

Yeah, agree with the people saying it doesn’t look like JCVD.

Now I’ll just put this in the pile with BG3, Blasphemous 2, Sea of Stars…

Loving the looks of the lizard, definitely not something I’d wanna run into walking down an alley at night.

@LifeGirl you mean that incident where hubris got everyone killed?

The world has moved on, perhaps you should too.

Nothing mostly, my weekend has consisted mostly of being outdoors, boating and kayaking.

@number1024 I do, I want to sit in a dark(er) room, much easier on my eyes.
