@cragis0001 I agree they are niche. Not even a blimp in the radar to sony. But grow? Nah. They've been selling poorly for a while now. The novelty is gone. Only way it can potentially "grow" if they have date and date releases. Which they will never do.
Non exclusives are great for the consumer. But what is always great for the consumer isn't great for the company. These are sony's titles. If they wish to scale back then everybody has to deal with that fact. I would not have bought a switch 2 day one if it wasn't for nintendos protection of their brand with exclusives. Sony is seeing how well that strategy is working for them and not xbox. And I doubt steam machine is even considered competition. Barely even a blimp. They don't even sell those is stores unless used.
Makes sense. Hardware sales are important now. Since you can't sell them at a loss. You need a reason for people to be like "I want a ps5" Just like how nintendo has that reason. Xbox doesn't and look at the situation they are in. I did love the games on PC but no date and date releases, and shoddy ports really screwed it up.
@lazarus11 A game made for everyone is a game made for no one. I'm not saying you have to like it. But move on. Nobody cares if you can't finish it. Eledn ring is the most accessible and easist fromsoft game to date offering so many mechanics and features to get through it that even streamers that suck at the game got through it. If you play on easy mode you aren't playing the same game at all.
I didn't assume it would be as hard as a souls game. Nor did I ever assume nor say it was a souls like. You like to put words in peoples mouths. My point was if you run into a wall don't cry about it. This goes for any game without difficulty options. Get gud or move on. Single difficulty games are the best balanced games out there. Period.
"because I could only progress so far" You mean at the tutorial?
@lazarus11 Big shields work in the game too by the way. They are actually the most busted thing in the game. Destroying the hardest bosses in the game. If you play a mage like character summons are a great way to get aggro off you while you dish out massive damage. Tons of ways to avoid the "roll loop".
@darylb24 That's was the same with elden ring and people still complained. You can overlevel for most bosses you struggle with. You and me will do that. But others will just cry and complain there isn't an easy mode for a game they aren't going to play to begin with.
Not sure why it's so confusing or baffling. PS5 is still good and if it's not enough for you the pro exists. We don't need a ps6 and especially knowing how much it will cost with the current climate I'm baffled that you are.
@danzoEX Lame... go earn it or don't at all. I couldn't beat the vr fights either but rather earn it eventually than cheat. Such a hollow empty victory.
I'm just happy the crossbell games are in the talks. But they should definitely do sky 3rd before zero. I wonder if cold steel 1 and 2 would get the treatment. Those two games are pretty rough and can use the gameplay improvements a lot.
@Fatewalker You're asking for an entirely different game. People still play the old re games becuase they aged well. You can put this argument to re4 og as well. As it has door loading but is still being played over the remake at times. I prefer re2 and re3 og over their remakes personally. Especially when it comes to 3. Would re1 re-remake be welcomed? Sure I'm down. I don't fully disagree with you. It can be an amazing game if capcom made it themselves, but personally I don't think it's needed at all. At least it shouldn't be the priority. Code veronica and 0 need it waaaaay more before we get to re1.
@Fatewalker That has nothing to do with being outdated. The game uses art assets and still hold up well especially with mods. "Also opening doors loading screen doesn't cut it anymore and gets old" There's tons of modern games that still do the loading on doors. Trails in the sky remake did it. Atlus still does it. etc.
It's okay. Feels more like been there done that. I'm honestly more interested in wolverine. Been a LONG time since we played a wolverine dedicated game.
It's going to be too expensive. I'll ignore it and play most demanding games on pc and maybe play jrpgs on ps5. If even that tbh, ps5 might be my last console generation. It's not like I have to worry about missing out on exclusives.
@Artois2 Yeah and that turned out so well. You can make a new game without being bought out. They sold themselves and have nothing to show for it except whatever sony wants them to do. The have no say anymore on what they want.
Maybe if sony in the jim ryan era didn't buy, and ruin bluepoint into making garbage live service games, we'd have remasters of these by now amongst others.
So the performance mode got rid of framegen? Because if not it's still going to have input latency. I'm down to check it out since I never finished the ps version.
Actually looked through this website and am tempted to get some of these. I need to look away becuase my wallet has had a pounding from all the games that have beeen coming out these past couple months.

@DualWielding That isn't even a blimp on the radar lol you guys said the same thing for steam deck vs switch 2. And the switch flew right past it.

Re: Don't Expect Crimson Desert to Be Easy, PS5 Open Worlder Won't Have Difficulty Options at Launch
@lazarus11 That's not at all what I'm talking about. Your points for playing and not playing the game contradict each other.
"I wouldve loved an easy mode because the atmosphere and lore is great"
Also you:
"didn't find the game interesting enough to persevere , I found it a bit bland and depressing"
Help make sense of that
Re: Don't Expect Crimson Desert to Be Easy, PS5 Open Worlder Won't Have Difficulty Options at Launch
@Scarface82G1 Then don't buy it and play something that offers you options.
Re: Don't Expect Crimson Desert to Be Easy, PS5 Open Worlder Won't Have Difficulty Options at Launch
@lazarus11 You just said two different things lol. Just seems like you're full of excuse. But alright to each their own.

Re: Don't Expect Crimson Desert to Be Easy, PS5 Open Worlder Won't Have Difficulty Options at Launch
Good. Difficulty options are useless. Get gud or don't play. Simple as that. One difficulty is the best way to play and develop any game.

@Almost_Ghostly Runs at a higher resolution and double the framerate minimizing input lag. Pretty big deal if you ask me.
