@nessisonett A platform having exclusives has never bothered me, I and many other old giffers grew up in an era when that's pretty much what distinguished them and we all lamented how they all became multiplat to the extent that defining a USP was more down to resolution and what your friends decided to also purchase. I think in this instance however MS are doing their anti-competitive act again, pretty much like what they have always done in the software business (see internet explorer), whilst attempting to convince the masses they actually give a ***** about the gaming community - it's laughable and cringeworthy at best.
I actually have a series S of my own, a series X i bought for my kid so we can play together and a PS5. Whilst GP is great value for money i seem to spend a lot of time filtering through the dross looking and hoping for something gripping to play and rarely finding anything above what id personally score a 7/10. On the flip side i know the big hitters are on the PS but I refuse to spend 70 quid on a title and am still waiting for them to drop significantly in sales etc so whilst i prefer my PS in many areas it is barely getting used which is a shame.
@GamingFan4Lyf You're right, timed exclusivity is bloody irritating but to be honest has never stopped me buying into a particular platform.
Buying out publishers though to lock out certain franchises whilst claiming that's not the intention - that sort of practice is not going to benefit any of us in the long run!
TLOU casual? Pfft nonsense. Just because it isn't an RPG does not make it casual it's just a different genre.
Personally i have always found JRPG's to yeah be a bit cringe but they have a level of technical polish and flair that WRPGs usually completely fail to match - outside of the Witcher and RDR2 everything else has been a bland buggy bloated mess
I personally think this might be fun and as a launch day title reminds me of when we had destruction derby on the PS1 - simple arcade style carnage.
Also whilst i hate microtransactions i cant see how that is Sony's fault, surely that is the choice of the developer? Regarding the developer i also have some faith they might churn out something decent - afterall Lucid is made up of ex team members from Bizarre Creations that brought us Metropolis street racer which was a great standout racing game at a time when Gran Turismo ruled the roost (with a great soundtrack to boot) and they then brought out project gotham racing which apparently was the 2nd best selling xbox game after Halo Combat Evolved.
