@guacguacboo problem is (almost always) marketing not the combat (in the case of Banishers). Look how much press Blood of Dawnwalker is getting and very much all comments reflect what you just said about Banishers, "bad combat gets in the way of storytelling" but heres why, good marketing... "a game made by Witcher 3 dev"... will sell no matter how bad the combat mechanics or enemy diversity is.also its a 9/10 on Steam, only IGN seems to have bashed on em... Just bad marketing which resulted in poor sales.

@UltimateOtaku91 better sell it now then, nobody will buy it at that point son.

Funny that the discussion for 60fps with this game actually exists being whether its ok not to have it. But for any other games its automatically not ok and theres usually no room for it.

One must ask why is the biggest release of gaming history with biggest budget getting a pass on such a basic element now a standard in the industry?

Because they chose to push graphics far beyond what the console can handle and they get praises for that? Just another way to re-release paid upgrades later on... I find it a bit lame... Ill continue to play catch n chill at 120fps on my switch 2 in the meantime....

@Oram77 i wish I could look up my past comments but I posted a short predictive post a few months back on this site somewhere saying exactly this lol...

@Matroska wow who knew Mickey was so popular... Everyone but me I guess lol. Oh well 😅

@belmont im with you. Not sure how a new kh game gets invested in but not the say ff9 remake... Im pretty confident both have different fanbase but Id expect ff9 remake fanbase to be bigger, could be wrong... Yet kh4 coming out soon, ff9 remake possible never....great trailer though.

@ButteredCrumpet you extrapolate so much and project so much about things I didn't write.. Who hurt you lol...I dont really care about trophies. I only came to read about someone complaining yet again, and here it was in the first comment. Period.

@Dalamar lol

@Faraz27 I came here only to read comments like these. Amazing you're the first in the list! Truly gamers cant be satisfied. If no easy mode exist people complain no easy mode exist. When an easy mode exist people complain its unfair for those to put in the work to grind. When a dev finds a middle ground to satisfy both sides, you complain still... Give me a break....

@Americansamurai1 😂😂😂

@Mr-Cage my advice here is keep your expectations low. Its clear it will sell insanely regardless if it being good or bad. Its clear that all studios will follow and increase their prices after this, and its clear im unclear whether I will buy this or not lol (most likely not tbh). It feels wrong and so many other good (better?) games releasing this fall...

@nicc83 thats the way

The best part for me was the fact that I wasn't surprised at all when I read this news. It made sense from a capitalist standpoint and the way the industry is going. It seemed fitting, in a sad and sorry way...

@Mr-Cage just think of it as a netflix marketing campaign. Its cheap from their perspective.

@Gaia093 yup greed works in mysterious ways... Not...

@Icey664 whatever it took, and it will pay back 100 fold.

@Mr-Cage not for Netflix. 🤑

Would be a good to shadowdrop gta4 remaster on Netflix...

I played San Andreas on Netflix at a point on my phone when I was bored in an airport. It was pretty good actually... Cant blame them, they have the ressources and there's a market.

@get2sammyb #monopoly, netflix positioning itself as a gaming platform more and more, because they can.

@Americansamurai1 one doesn't just repeats whats written in an article and gets away with it.

I wonder if this is the time where stores start offering payment plans... You know like for cellphones... You pay over 12, 24 months... If consoles are expensive I can see people budgeting for em over time like any large purchases these days.... Most people dont need new phones, but having the ability to pay them over time allows the market to sell them to people anyway by stretching it over several months... Much like overpriced phones, new consoles arent necessary at launch but I believe theres a way Sony/MS/Nintendo can figure out a way to make people afford them and buy em even with increasing prices... And technically if you just keep your current iphone 2 extra years youll save enough money for your new shiny console.....

Wow that first 7:30min out of 8min was painful to watch (yes I mean the whole thing was painful) , click X 20 times to hear some canned lines, what a poor storytelling mechanic... First BoD footage that actually turns me off and starting to lose interest... And everything clickable in yellow or white marker... Gross design and nothing immersive. Something we've seen (and hate) been done a million times by now... I actually thought this was gonna be good until now.... So disappointed... And then getting a 20 sec underwhelming mini boss fight with little to no action.... So bad...

I find it funny people assume you can just fit a ps5 pro into a handheld no biggy... I personally don't want an Xbox S handheld edition in the Sony ecosystem... I say either release ps6 as planned or delay 4y. Dont try to bridge the gap here... Instead they could try to ship more ps5 pros in the meantime, were just scratching the surface of pssr on this thing, and just make this the new gen officially... This is going to be very interesting to see how things develop regardless...

@get2sammyb you know that Costco sells chicken at a loss to get customers to come to their store so they buy other stuff. Same principle applies to ps5s. Sony can afford to lose 100$ per console because in long run those people owning a console sooner rather than later will make them more money. Selling less console doesn't make it more profitable if you look at big picture. Only if you look at the hardware alone but thats not Sony's business model anyway so looking at it from that angle alone makes zero sense in my opinion.

I finished the game and explored quite a bit. I was able to ignore completely the fact that microtransactions existed in this game finishing with over 10 unused ferrystones... I used oxcarts alot since this was how the game intended you to travel for the most part and ferrystones only when I needed to skip quickly to a very far location for a specific quest... I do feel bad for those who spent money in the store somehow now that those purchases are being rendered irrelevant... Oh well lesson learn people? Probably not... Those stores shouldn't be allowed to exist....

@SEVENTEENSOILS goddamn yes, play Elden Ring and Baldurs Gate 3 for first time in loop please! Throw in OG ff7 while we're at it!

@MamaSymphonia lol, surely "Pragmata looks best on base ps5" would be some news! Breaking news water is wet!

I beleive that articles like this is the new version of our moms telling us go play outside... Can I get my 2min back please?

@SoulofBashar Thats for the Ubisoft Connect team to figure out.

People are willing to pay 2k for a phone they only use 2y and then pay again to upgrade but not for 1k console that will last them 5y. I dont get it. Yes its expensive. Life is full of choices. Would it be better if it was cheaper, yes... Would iPhones be better if they didn't cost 1k for the base model on release, sure, but it aint happening...

Making games will become easier. Selling them will become harder... Solution anyone? Also if making games gets easier (AI), then competition becomes higher (more games) and possibly raises the bar for quality... We are still left with.... Who's buying them?

@DennisReynolds yeah im actually reading about this now... Seems fsr3 was introduced in 2024 on base ps5. Where some other methods of upscaling existed prior as well... I thought AI upscaling on ps5 pro was first to introduce upscaling somehow it isnt the case... Interesting...first time I notice a game being upfront and specific about "how" they plan to achieve a specific framerate... Its making me somewhat optimistic...

Balanced has upscaling on base ps5? Isnt upscaling an exclusive feat of the ps5 pro? Intriguing...

@raidenpb i guess the outrage is that while, for now, the experiment appears to only drop prices for some games... It could be used in a very different fashion... But I agree this fact provide a vastly different context...

Very underwhelmed by this news... All that trouble to run a game that already runs at 60fps on sonys console... Replace gta5 with no rest for the wicked, now you have my attention otherwise, keep scrolling...
