@Vaako007
You're right. Zip it. Let these corpos run amok, be consoomers, don't complain to the overlords.
Yes. It's all optional. Concord was an optional game. No need to complain about it. They threw their main PS5 game Factions 2 off a cliff and kept financing this atrocity.
PSVR2 is optional. Don't complain about not getting games for it.
PS VITA was optional. Why complain to the overlords. You bought it at a high price. You got shafted. So what? It was optional.
It's all freaking optional. You do know that right?
@BiosNova
I beg to differ. Of course you're right, but during the PS1,2,3 era they did their best to bring out stellar games to convince consumers to buy their console and keep buying their games.
Now they don't even do that anymore. They expect people to just buy everything, because they're a household name by now.
@Neither_scene
There's nothing about the PS5 pro that is pro consumer. They've been slowly going towards the digital only direction for a while now. They'll use all kinds of excuses like less plastic, better for the environment, cheaper, etc. But in the end it's for the bottom line, period.
Games have been utterly unimpressive. The best looking games are still on PS4. No game on the PS5 has been truly next gen to even warrant the console's existence. Yet they release a Pro version as a goddamn gimmick apparently, cause if it's not for the games, then what is it for?
What a joke of a gen. Sony can stick that inevitable digital only PS6 up their butt and keep it. I'll go back to Nintendo after 5 generations lol
But reality is, history will repeat itself. Sony's flying too close to the sun, just like after the PS2's success. The only difference is that the games saved the PS3. Those were impressive, incredible games that have yet to be topped by PS5 games in terms of everything but graphics.
The PS5 doesn't have that luxury. There's a chance PS6 won't do so well. People are waking up to these atrocious anti-consumer 1984 type BS
@Arkz Same. I upgraded to Pro. PS5 just doesn't even have anything to push the base console, let alone a Pro version. This is absolute madness from Sony. Useless hardware.
They're forgetting that games should back up a console's existence. It all feels so Ubisoft-y. "Eh who cares if it sucks or nobody needs it, just release it and they'll buy it anyway"... PS1 to PS4 were all justified by their games.
PS5 couldn't even release Factions 2. I've never seen this many disappointments during a gen smh
@thefourfoldroot1
Yeah lol you are probably right on the nose. So many people and it leads to something this bland...
Just proves that normal people don't dare to speak up anymore in fear of being offensive to these crazies who run the show lately by victimizing themselves 24/7
The cheekbones are too sharp. Me as a person with fatty cheekbones am offended and I'm taking it to Twitter to demand this artist gets silenced, fired or demonitized weee
Seriously thouy, those are valid points he makes. Especially on the robot one. It's like toddlers made this game, but toddlers are actually creative. These were adults who took 8 years to design this crap. It's utterly baffling
@yohn777 Pretty graphics are nothing. Every single one of these "next gen" AAA games have worde physics, worse gameplay, worse world building, worse NPC intelligence, worse NPC interaction, worse animations, worse world interaction, worse writing, worse everything BUT graphics than those two little PS3 games.
Funny how you said "narrative that PS3 games are more graphically advanced". You took the one single aspect modern games are better at while in every other aspect they're beat. Idc about the PS3. The point is that it's 2 generations ago and we're going backwards. GTA IV had insane car, body and object physics and mechanics. To me it's still not beat and it's clear as day. I'm baffled anyone would even try to dispute this point. Crazy.
I keep saying it. The problem we have is not powerful enough consoles.
The problem is that all the games we get nowadays are technically inferior to even PS3 games like GTA IV and V or RDR1. Let alone RDR2.
Maybe release some proper "next gen" games first before you release the most unnecessary Pro version ever.
@danzoEX
Biggest Sony fan since PS1. I've had it with them. Garbage company. PS6 can kiss my butt
@johnedwin
We struggle to get games nowadays that can match GTA IV and V technically ON PLAYSTATION 3, but everything besides PS5 pro is gonna have technical issues...?
The problem we have is not powerful enough consoles. The problem we have is unoptimized garbage games that are inferior to even PS3 games. GTA 6 is going to be just fine on PS5
But... The most advanced games are still on PS4... RDR2 and TLOU2 for instance. There's nothing on PS5 that tops those... Why in gods name would I ever consider this machine? To play Concord!?
@Ryu_Niiyama
This shouldn't be the norm though in normal office jobs.
These crazy adult entitled babies at these game companies who make terrible games shouldn't be surprised though. That's how the industry works. Your income/ work is based on the success of the product you're working on.
But I'm not expecting these babies to be prepared to the consequences of adult life. They're too busy whining on X about how much of a victim they are and how everyone else sucks.
@GamingFan4Lyf You kinda got me hyped lmao. I haven't watched any gameplay on purpose, so I've had to take people's word for it, but man... I'm kinda craving the game lol
Honestly, as good as this game is, I thought it was gonna be a 40 bucks game for some reason.
70 bucks is way too steep for me right now for anything less than Rockstar/ Naughty Dog quality (maybe scope is the better word)
The reason we've got all these astronomical failures at Sony and even the whole industry, is because there is not a person like him at the top who can say NO. Enough of this nonsense.
Give the players what they want. Enough of this crap. Life's already lonely and depressing. People want a distraction. Give them some fun. Enough of the politics. Enough of the pandering.
People are good. They don't need lecturing. Fans don't need to be the target for "being the cause of all kinds of hate". No more.
@GymratAmarillo Jeez I'd wish more games took 8 years and 300 million. That's not a bad thing. If Ubisoft games had that kinda dedication Id be their biggest fan. The problem with Concord was that it was a garbage copycat from day 1 and Sony higher ups failed at stopping the project
@jrt87
Lmao it's always so telling when people discredit themselves by saying the pinnacle of a medium is bad... It's so laughable.
The best game technically, in writing, immersion, in details, gameplay, etc. is still RDR2. No PS5 game can hold a candle to it.
No openworld game besides Rockstar's has topped the PS3 game GTA IV. That is FOUR! It's insane how many mediocre openworld games we get TIME AND AGAIN and how people damage control them while hating on Rockstar. What a joke, honestly.
@Deljo Everybody knows about emulation. That's irrelevant. You can download every single movie as well, so why get Netflix? The point is the convenience and the library it offers, which this kinda lacks
Crazy. I love it. A game purely focused on FUN! No other crazy nonsense. I hope this game breaks all the records. This is what we need. The world is healing
They've got an absolute goldmine, but they've been playing it safe for a couple of generations now. They've got more than freaking Nintendo.
Astrobot is cool and all, but why couldn't a Sackboy game be that good? Sackboy used to be their mascot bigtime ans they've wasted it like many others. Also, where's Cole from Infamous? Where is the next Infamous game period
@Truegamer79
Then go and watch some comparisons. I'm not even a big AC fan. Ubisoft games have tons of comparison compilations of old vs new. They were very immersive. Mission design I could agree, but the rest DEFINITELY not.
You can't create such a huge franchise on garbage. I'd play AC1 over this crap any day of the week
@Truegamer79
This is such an NPC thing to say. This is the reason we have mediocre games all the time, because you guys keep defending this crap.
The first AC had incredible world building, polished gameplay, incredible city, good story, very immersive allround. That was 2 generations ago.
This pile of dogpoop has absolutely nothing redeemable about it. AI on PS2 games is better, I've played more immersive PS2 games, physics are better in PS2 games, writing is better in PS2 games, I can go on.
Wtf is wrong with people
@yohn777 Look up some Knight/ SS or Gotham Knights comparisons. It's beyond laughable.
With looks I mean animations, details, graphics, destructibles, sound design, lighting and just the sheer amount of work put into it all to make it look stunning.
Show me a game where I can zoom in and see the stitching on the suits. Spider-Man and Horizon are pretty, but nowhere near Arkham Knight. They've got lots of shortcomings. Many things can look off, the faces can look wax-y, etc.
When it's raining in Knight and you span your cape to fly, the freaking droplets will splash off your cape. Besides, the animations on the cape itself... Insanity!
I hear this a lot, but opposite is true. You people have forgotten how good Knight actually was. Otherwise Gotham Knights and SS would've had an even bigger backlash
@Thatguyoverthere
I disagree, I think the storytelling was incredible. Not as consistent as City, but it was bigger and an ending to a trilogy, so arguably harder and they still pulled it off.
I include the moments, random encounters with the Joker for instance in there. So many cool moments when you're just going through the City and something like that pops up. Really well made and filled to the brim
I'll eat my shoes, shorts and socks if a game goes the extra mile like that this generation, bar Rockstar of course. I'm that confident in how trash the industry has become
@WhiteRabbit In time, it will. If they're too stupid to not see what does and doesn't work with all these colossal failures going on in the industry, then they'll feel it eventually.
The whole Arkham trilogy, especially Arkham Knight is a damn masterpiece. Knight is a technical marvel and looks more detailed than any PS5 game, hands down. Even the criticised Batmobile was done so well, only Rockstar does car mechanics better. They went ALL OUT.
Shame to see them fall like this, but I can't say underserved. Really sad :/
@Artois2
Really? Only good one I played recently was Cyberpunk and that was insanely well done.
I've had absolutely zero interest in Fallout 4/ 76 and definitely that snoozefest of a Starfield.
I'd welcome a good one, but it feels like they don't put much effort into writing anymore. "Good enough" is the new standard and these publishers are probably like "they'll buy it anyway". Glad lots of these games are getting some backlash. They think their consumers are stupid and treat us like that
I was waiting for a 1 life Search and destroy type mode. Also forgot about it. Crazy how these companies still think that small maps, endless running and gunning with endless lifes is fun for anything else than goldfish.
Search and destroy and CSGO were so popular. I put hundreds of hours into the survivors mode in factions. Why this game (or insurgency Sandstorm for that matter) doesn't have a mode like that
