@Godot25 Anyone with half a braincell visiting this site, would know it's referring to the console space. There's no need to spell out the obvious. This is not a PC website. My PC is more powerful than a PS5 Pro, and I didn't have an issue.
Besides, it makes for a silly headline to say 'play best on PC', which would equally be false as statement if you want to get serious, due to the fact that not all PCs are the same. Which PC? Whos PC?
So yes, in the grand scheme of things, you absolutely are overly argumentative on such a trivial point, and it's embarrassing that people have to point it out to you.
So many great memories of this game. Hard to believe it was almost 20 years go.. I remember buying the xbox for it.. Amazing to see this on PlayStation, and hope the strange 'lifetime PS only fan boys' enjoy it.. If they're not complaining about one thing or another that is.
@ozkrmz Interesting.. I for one will be skipping next gen. The PS5 barely got pushed, constant remasters and just a lack of good and fun games.. Nothing so far convinces me that the next generation will change this.
People are more interested in games appearing nice than being fun to play.
The next gen console will likely be much more expensive, plus with current world events in the mix having a possible impact. Game companies are closing all over the place, more powerful consoles being pushed could mean more costs which could mean more time to make games, which usually means lack of frequent games.
I honestly see no good reason for a new, more powerful console. But I'll try keeping an open mind.
@Godot25 Yes they are.. You have the majority of gamers constantly complaining about prices, even £10 upgrades, and then you get these random 'pc gamers' praising the performance of their rigs as though it's better value than consoles... Most are probably broke and playing on a potato.
Such a fantastic game! I love the competitiveness of GT7, but FH5 is just real fun to blast around casually, and even some competition. Overall it's a great game.
Also, it's sad to see constant moan about price here by 'gamers'.. Work hard, play hard and move on with life.. Jeez.
The others here thinking that a business won't try to make more profit if it can, even if they don't have to, have a strange perspective. Sure I prefer to pay lower to. But gamers need to understand these businesses aren't our friends. They exist to make money, and they'll slow push the lines as much as they can get away with it.
There are also all sorts of uncertainty in the global market and it's very hard to predict what the outcome will be The next few year will be rocky between USA and China that affect businesses across the globe.
@naruball "There is a difference between greed and healthy profit"
There’s is a balance to be struck, but "greed" vs "healthy profit" is a very economically vague and subjective standpoint.
In reality, every company aims for the highest profit the market will accept, and it’s up to consumers to push back if they feel it crosses into something excessive.
Ultimately, the free market defines what’s "healthy" by what people are willing (or unwilling) to pay.
If enough consumers continue to buy Nintendo games and Nintendo remains profitable, then the new price is justified from their perspective - simple as that.
@UltimateOtaku91 Pricing of the end product isn't decided by the time and cost of developing. That's just simply not how businesses work. There are numerous other factors that decide pricing for any company.. Gamers need to stop thinking game companies are their buddies. It's a company trying to profit like any other. I'm not defending their prices though. Ultimately it's the consumer response that'll determine whether they made the right choice or not before they adjust their pricing strategy.
@AgentGuapo Honestly, what you said is the only comment that matters.... People fail to understand that it's a business. If consumers are happy to pay high prices and they're profitable then that's a good business decision, if not the they'll readjust their pricing strategy.. There is nothing more to it.
@Slayer25c Oh really? That's sad because I thought the game was made specifically for me and only me... No one else, just me.. And I thought only my opinion was valid, no one else's............
Ghost is tsushima was overhyped for me.. Found the character and the game just dull and boring. It world did look stunning, and the westerners feudal Japan/samurai fantasy desire was met in that sense, but there was nothing exciting about it as a game itself which is more important for me.. The RPG element was weak. .. For all who did enjoy the first, I'm sure the second will be better and you'll enjoy it.
I can understand why it's an outstanding game from everything I've seen.. But unfortunately it just feels to overwhelming for me to dive into with my current responsibilities in life.. Which sucks
I doubt the entirety of Nintendos gaming philosophy has 'changed' just because they're improving upon the success of what came before. In any case, the consumers will decide if this was a good decision.
Loved the first game. Never bought the second due to the lgbt narrative.. But, what I'd absolutely love is a standalone factions game, and I hope it gets revived soon
One of my all time favourites series. Still clearly remember playing the first upon release. 1, 2 and 3 were amazing. 3 possibly had the best multiplayer experience out of the lot... Getting those headshots and hearing the crunch followed by Colonel Hoffman shout 'Niiice' never got old!
I miss it when games were focused on being fun, whereas now it's all about how good a game looks. The pixel counting culture has damaged gaming for me. It's true that I enjoy a great looking game, but ONLY if it plays great and is fun. I'm hoping the industry will focus on making a game fun first, and then being able to make it look great as apposed to the other way around.
I tried it on xbox before moving on to PS5. As someone who enjoyed previous Bethesda games, I just didn't feel this. Felt boring and dated. Also, lack of 60fps hurt it for me. I could have adjusted by sticking with it, but didn't feel like the game itself was worth it.
I've never held on to any game. I play it, complete it, and move on with life. The only games I keep a little longer are multiplayer games, but that too until I've had my fill.
@species Why? Because humans are predictably irrational creatures. There is also a growing trend of not accepting anything less than perfection, and a sense of entitlement where things must align with their beliefs, perspectives, preferences - whether that's political, cultural, or ideological.
People seem determined to see this game fail. Suddenly, everyone’s a business and financial expert, picking apart every number just to downplay its potentially early success—almost as if it makes them feel better. It’s honestly pathetic. The so-called gaming community can be unbelievably petty at times.
Im very late to the party, is it worth buying this game anymore? Finally deleted COD and looking to replace it with another shooter of some sort. Thinking about R6 Seige too.
@nessisonett could you elaborate on the following:
"Completely destroys any semblance of narrative intent. The control shifts from writers to a neural network trained on data that they haven’t disclosed"
I'm just confused with the title stating 'PS5 gamers don't necessarily want'. I mean, how do you know this exactly? Was there a poll here that I missed? I'll definitely be interested in this AI feature.
Loved the 1st, but didn't get the second due to the character choices being that felt like certain agendas were being shoved down throats, so I'm glad there is no 3rd.. Saying that, I really did wish there would be an expanded multiplayer as I loved the first one
Doesn't bother me. I buy whatever I can at the time though lately more inclined with digital - it's easy, simple and super convenient. I'm not fussed on collecting or sharing. I play a game and then simply move on with my life onto whatever else is out there.. As the trends show, digital is the future. I do see why some would be upset perhaps
Tempting, but still not low enough for me. I'm hoping from this price point, any discounts will bring it down more.. I'd buy if it drops near the £250-£300 mark at the absolute most, however unlikely that may be.
On a separate note, it's great that it's functional on PC/Steam - makes it far more appealing for sure.
Pretty sad, but the game is looking very good so far. Hope it turns out well and everyone enjoys it. All the moaning gets tiring. Play, enjoy (or not), and move on in life.
Such a shame. After the campaign, I enjoyed the multiplayer a lot, poured hours into it. The game was simple, slow, and very balanced. Felt unique, the tension was great. Very disappointed this did not make it. Even as a standalone multiplayer would have been amazing for me
For anyone that has some kind of mental health issues and rely on gaming, I'd understand the frustration, as for everyone else that lost their minds, it was hilarious to witness the outrage and how childish supposedly grown adults can behave over a day of no 'games'..
@Mintie I appreciate the response. As I feared, it may not be for me in that case.. I prefer story driven games, however, I may still give it a crack if I can grab it at a discount, just to try it.. Maybe I'll be surprised.
What's the goal of the game? Is it just to fly around and discover random procedurally generated planets? Or is there some sort of main storyline to it? Genuine question. The game looks stunning and the support it frequently gets is admirable, but I'm not sure what it's about, and I don't like wondering randomly without a goal or mission in games.
I'm really glad I sold my series x for the PlayStation about a year ago. Things are a lot simpler on PS and I didn't have to go through all this drama with xbox..
