Actually.... I remember Cyberpunk 2077 release... and history proves the longer is game in development the lower is result. Not always, but it happens too much...
@Max_the_German You hit the nail. This generation is single player killer. Third party is trying to save the day, but Sony itself has failed miserably.
I like very colorful games, so right now I have still butterflies in stomach when I run Divinity Original Sin. I pretty like Elden Ring graphics also. I never focused on graphics so much. It is rather about style. Speaking about PS5 clearly, Final Fantasy 16 was pretty. I don't know if I had so bad hand, or if it's some trend, but games I bought (Atomic Heart, Mortal Shell, Necromunda, Diablo 4) all have weird bland graphics with pitch black shadows, so it looks like textures are missing. I still didn't hit any PS5 game with some "wow" graphics. But as I mentioned before, I don't care about graphics, rather entertaining (and I'm not entertained when I cannot see nothing more that black in shadows)
@Blauwe_Chimay I know only Necrophagist. Ohh and Impaled Nazarene, Carcass, Septicflesh, Alienation Mental, Groinchurn ...and heeeeeyyyy Last Days of Humanity 😍😍😍
@Tyrii I don't remember there was any MTX in any Puzzle Quest. So because it will be paid game, I don't think they break rules and add MTXes. Don't you confuse it with Gems of War (F2P, but lots of mtx)?
It is not about hellishly high game prices or high console price. It is about fun games bring. Most people don't have time for "endless" games, or if, they play one. Make shorter, more intense games and money will come. Easy solution.
Score pending... So Pushsquare is still not decided if it will put 8/10 or 8/10 ?
BTW it looks like this game isn't for me. I like action RPGs but, as you mentioned, forced RPGs that include dull mechanics "just because" is stop sign.
@get2sammyb Sammy, where is the joy and fun, there is money. Just make game for fun, like Balatro for example, and money comes. If you think, at first, it makes lots of money and focusing on it then come soulless product, Concord for example.
Finally got my hands on Stellar Blade and THANK GOD what a relief to play some action platformer again!!! On easy it is well playable for fun. More of these PS3 era games, less souls-like boredom.
Maybe Sony didn't flushed away enough money yet so it is waiting with cancellation a few more months... still don't get their logic if they know they are wasting our money...
Diablo 4 was good until patch 1.03. Since that it's one-time wonder, where you cannot experience exploration with another character. It is sad D4 completely lost it's randomness so there is no need (or option) to play it again. And monster level scale and respawn completely killed it atop.
@LordOfTurnips You answered yourself. Some games were made with MP in mind and that is that problem. There are only few examples, where they made MP "just" in mind. Rest of them are "singleplayer" but balance, huge locations, sliced story is heavily put on multiplayer. Especially in PS3 era, there were lots of games pretending to be singleplayer, but were optimised for multiplayer and final feeling of playing it singleplayer was like you are missing something.
Diablo 4 is has so many issues so replayability is dead. Yes, Diablo 2, Assassins Creed, Uncharted, Space Marine 2... these games worked good as "singleplayer at first" but lots of others, especially arcade, didn't.
I loved Sacred 1. I loved Sacred 2 (because it filled gap before Diablo 3 release). I hated Sacred 3.
I don't get why they try to remaster S2 while S1 needs console release? But OK, I'm missing 2 trophies on my PS3, so I'll get platinum there and see if there is something new in PS5 version, but sentence "overhauled combat" smells like rotten fish.

Re: Enjoy the New Resident Evil Requiem Trailer with Improved PS5 Graphics
Sorry, I like the Switch version. Game is much more "visible". PS5 version is too dark so lots of details just disappear in blackness.

Re: Poll: Did You Buy a PS1 at Launch?
I was diehard PC gamer in those times. I bought PS2 later because of Final Fantasy 10 and WinXP started to be necessary for every game.
