This game is not worth your time on any platform.

Reading people bending their opinions so quickly and so drastically on exclusives since the talk of Series X once it involves PlayStation's, rather fascinating.

@Barryburton97 Right, also on Wii U. More to my point, actually.

@psoneboi Yeah I prefer to play most multiplats on PC too.

@Jaz007 Am I to believe that in a 100+ hours you never saw a monster hurt another or even throw them at Geralt? The exact same things happen in BotW, btw. A Switch exclusive.

@Jaz007 You haven't actually played The Witcher 3, have you? Oh and also some of the stuff you said about RDR2 isn't actually true. Bunch of people have debunked it on YT.

@Jaz007 I hope this isn't particularly controversial, but I think The Witcher 3 is one of the largest, most complex games out there. Larger than HZD or RDR2. And BotW is more complex in a lot of the gameplay mechanics and terrain properties it has. Not visually as complex as these games but that's besides this particular topic.
Visually and mechanically speaking, of course.
They run just fine on Switch.

It's true that they completely butchered the nemesis system in last gen's version of Shadow of Mordor (Shadow of War didn't get a release on PS3/X360, I don't think). Given the publisher, I wouldn't put them above them to just make such differences to intice consumers into getting the next gen version, which at that point was more of a risk given the smaller install base.

All of that being said, even that generational jump was more significant than this one.

@NEOTDS That example kinda falls apart if you buy a movie that came out on VHS back then on Blu-Ray 4K. And if what you're saying that they're not worth watching on 4K, then I disagree.

@Shirayuki PS2 BC on the original PS3s was cut due to a bug they couldn't resolve. (Custom firmware has since solved it though)
It displayed horribly, custom firmware has fixed it though.
The PS5 will have PS4 bc, fairly easy given how similar they'll be.

@rjejr The Wii U comparison fits in terms of power, but in terms of architecture the Switch is completely different. Shares more in common with the Nvidia Shield and it's much easier to develop for. Hence why some Switch ports rival console releases with such a power difference.
I agree that more powerful hardware is necessary to meet certain demands overtime, but the jump between 3DS and Switch was huge, while the upcoming gen looks to be the smallest generational jump in gaming history. Sony could easily have PS4 ports (specially PS4 Pro) for a while if they wanted.

@Shirayuki And yet you can play your Xbox and 360 games on Xbox One. No such feature on PS4.

@clvr I agree that the new consoles need to be more powerful, but that's not what I'm saying.
The marketing angle that new games wouldn't be possible without the generational jump is so blatantly untrue when you have PS4 and XB1 games running on Switch in a playable state.
Even worse for PS5 and Series X, since they'll run in very similar hardware.
This move by Microsoft is very consumer-friendly since you can still enjoy the new games in next gen hardware if you do choose. But it's up to you to make that choice.
Read some of the comments on this article alone and how borderline dellusional they seem. I do wonder if they'd be singing a different tune if Sony did this.

The Switch is proof that this notion that you need the most powerful hardware to run games is just a marketing spin.
Do they run worse? Yes, but they run.

@Akurusu Bold of you to post this on a PlayStation fan site, but I 100% agree with you.
They like cinematic experiences more than games, yes. But not quite the film buffs, either. They'd know how average of a survival movie The Last of Us would be.

@Abelfei Positivity can be, evidently, pretty irrelevant too.
Ah yes, smart people are known to resort to name calling when they don't know what else to say.
Carry on, enjoy your (at least) $180 game.

@Abelfei Ah, irrelevant. I don't know if you realise what that means. If you did, you'd realise yours is just as irrelevant as any other. I took this was more for the sake of discussing videogames.
And don't worry about my money, I'll probably try this remake 5 years from now when it's finally done and on some sale.

@Abelfei I've played FF7 a couple times myself.
On that note, the Switch port is about perfect in terms of upgrades and the benefit of portability.
You got the full FF7 in FF7. You be won't with this.
If it wastes your time like XIII and its two sequels did with all the stupid sideplots and going on and on, it'll be longer, yes. But a worse game.

@FullbringIchigo Longer doesn't equal full game

@FullbringIchigo Those examples are kinda perfect, none of them fully delivered what was promised.

@Abelfei I can literally buy the original FFVII right now and get the full game rather than getting a fraction for 60 dollars.

@Abelfei Those two things are at odds with each other.

The full game? Isn't this just the first episode?

I'd hardly call the PS3 port of Bayonetta a classic.

@DeepSpace5D Wait so you can't stream PS4 games?

Not a fan of this "us vs them" mentality, pointless at best.

@OscarHTX Well, both may be a way to "rent" games, so to speak, but PS Now is a streaming service, while Gamepass you install your games.
The benefit of the Gamepass model is of course performance, but also the library seems to not really lose games the way PS Now does.

That tagline would've worked better if the Switch didn't have Nvidia hardware.

I'm not as big of a fan as most people are, I think it doesn't have anything going on gameplaywise or designwise to really merit the praise it gets.
Pretty good as a movie though.

@3MonthBeef But it literally says on the trailer's title that it is in-engine.

@3MonthBeef Did you see Senua in-engine? It looked awesome!

@KidBoruto Thank you! I think the artist is called Starbirb.
Did a reverse search and found this one.

It spent more time in development hell than it will as a PS exclusive.

@GodGamer An excuse would imply I'm somehow responsible, I'm simply pointing out facts.

@Robocod I'd call that a bit of a reach. If the port itself is good, I see no obligation to support the Pro. Not even all first party or exclusive games do.
Besides, the game has exclusivity issues on PC way before the Microsoft buyout.

With all these paid games with microtransactions, I'm saving so much money this year.

@Rick_Deckard If it does disappear from Gamepass and further purchasing, you should still be able to play/redownload it after the fact if you already bought it.
That's usually how it goes at least.
