Re: Incoming Xbox Boss Promises a 'Renewed Commitment to Console', and 'Hears' Fans on Skipping PS5

I would love to see good old days where all 3 have their exclusives. The very notion of creating something just for that platform with genuine care often leads to good even great products. And I said it before but if Xbox's recent years were at the start of generation they would be just fine without going multiplatform. Their 1st party games came out too late to have that kind of scenario unfortunately. I am curious to see what happens now, they are really unpredictable but yeah, hard to expect them to go to their old ways considering Micky's overall ways.

Until the main course I didn't want to commit anything big so I finally started Little Nightmares 2. Art design is top notch but I am not that impressed so far. Also I am still going for character side stories on Ghost of Tsushima but there is not much left of them. I don't plan to do anything after those and give the game a rest until playing Iki Island.

Re: PS5's Retro God of War Game Gets the Worst Reviews in the Series

Yeah, I can definetely say it's dissapointing for the IP. I was so excited for a GoW metroidvania and I will still buy it on sale but 70 is not something I am happy. There are too many good games to care about average games and I don't have time for anything in the 7s usually. I would be really happy if this was a banger like recent PoP or FIST or another good example of the genre.

Re: Opinion: The Euphoric Reaction to PS6's Rumoured Delay Really Confuses Me

The main difference is the release time day and date. If PS6 is around the release of new games it will be much harder to justify not buying a new console when there is superior version.

But if PS6 is delayed and games come out for PS5 then I don't give a ***** about PS6 versions because the time I play that game on PS5; it will be the best version. For example: Does anyone have any doubts about Intergalactic: Even Better edition for PS6? No, but it doesn't matter because it won't exist for a few years and I can enjoy it in its best form possible for the 2027 release. I bought PS5 Pro when I had the chance for example to play new exclusives better etc. and I think Pro version of the console play a significant role in peoples' perspective about "We don't need new one for a few years".

Do you get what I mean? You never have to buy new console for cross-gen stuff but it is much harder to justify playing it on inferior console when the superior version exist at the same time and with the delay that situation will be delayed for 1 more year. I bought PS5 for Miles Morales even though I could play it on PS4.

More importantly, here’s the part I really struggle to understand: if you don’t want a PS6 at launch, then you’re not obligated to buy one.

Yeah, who wouldn't want to play the inferior version of a game when there is a better version of it around./s "You can wait for the cross-gen period." is not acceptable for a lot of people including me. Therefore there not being a new console for at least 1 more year the best option since it would help us to feel more satisfied with the price we paid for our current gen console and clear head space since we know this is the best it can be.(All talk is for console ecosystem.)

All that said, I would like 2028 holiday season. 2029 feels too far. 2027 would be the norm and with 2028 it would be just one more year which can be tolerable since the gen had a long cross-period before we saw PS5 only games.

We are in a good spot in terms of production values. Especially on Pro.

Re: 'I Feel Cheated and I Want a Refund': Fans Lash Out at New PS5 God of War's Unlockable Local Multiplayer Mode

If you don't think this is false advertising I don't know what to tell you. And yeah, there are times you go out of your way to defend PS sometimes and this is one of them. Also there should be even further explanation besides "2 player co-op opens after finishing the game once solo" and that is "Btw, co-op is just for challange mode, don't think you can play the campaign together".

Not because of this but I was thinking to wait a sale for a couple of bucks lesser price but I will wait more I guess. I just can't digest how cheap it looks comparing to similar games in the genre.
