EXACTLY!
It's a From Software game, there's no need to advertise its difficulty cause that's their bread and butter. And the Soulsborne metaseries is well know enough that you'd know what you're getting into, no need to out a warning on the box.
You do not deserve to enjoy a Souls game if you can't git gud. I finally defeated Genichiro today, and damn do I feel proud.
I would have been excited 4 years ago, but now? I have zero faith this game won't be more GAAS looter shooter garbagio. With all the shit and failed games Gearbox has developed in the last couple of years, they'll be desperate to make craptons of money in short time, so count on them to spoil the game rotten with microtransactions.
So the best selling VR headset on the market, right now acclaimed for its ease of use, comfort and price range, has an "awkward design". Sure, whatever.
@porkChop Where do you live, South Korea I can ASSURE YOU that most people do NOT have either that speed or enough stability.
I love the complete hypocrisy on display here of people condemning games-as-a-service while praising streamed gaming, which is games-as-a-service on an even MORE massive scale.
And this is why it will fail: cause the technology is exclusive in the worst way. It's one thing to not be able to buy into a technology cause it's too costly, it's another to not be able to buy into it cause it's completely unsustainable to you even if you CAN afford it.
I live in Puerto Rico. It is a United States territory, in which every cutizen is a US citizen by birth. On paper, we should have all the advantages any other US citizen has. In practice, t...
This is gonna be a New Coke/Coke Classic thing: everyone will flock to the new thing because of the novelty of it, but then realize it's crap and flock back to the original way of doing things.
PS Now isn't the underdog, streamed gaming is. Anyone who thinks Microsoft or Google are gonna magically break through that particular glass ceiling are gonna be in for a world of disappointment once they hit that glass and realize it's double-layered tempered glass and their noses are busted the fuck up.
Simply put, streamed gaming won't work because it depends on a technology the companies HAVE NO CONTROL OVER. If you offer me streamed gaming and cannot do any...
We can always dream, dude, we can always dream.

Ah, wonderful. So they'll be fixing the 5 years-behind Puertorican telecommunications infrastructure and hurricane-proofing the lines?
Check your priviledge.
Lol, awesome burn, bro XD
This, and the horrible internet infrastructure of the US compared to the rest of the world, will be the nails on Stadia's coffin.
Indeed. As far as developers go, Platinum has one of the most impressive records of them all.
That's great, Phil.
I live in Puerto Rico. I currently have the fastest internet service I've ever had while on the island. It moves at 5mbps. If you can fix that, I'll gladly drink your Kool-Aid.
Google can have, hell, they probably DO have the best internet infrastructure on the planet. The problem is that it's the best internet infrastructure SERVERSIDE. Meanwhile, we're stuck with fucking Comcast trying to regulate our bandwidth and not providing decent speeds on the poorer states, Google's amazing servers can't do jack and shit to improve that. Unless Google personally comes to my house and install a 500mps line exclusively for Stadia, I'm not gonna be anywhere...
I don't care about playing Gears Of War from the comfort of my couch, why would I be excited about playing it on a moving vehicle with crap internet infrastructure that'd make input lag so bad that it'd make it unplayable? The "logic" behind this statement baffles me.
Jesus, of all the companies you could have mentioned, you went with UBISOFT? The company that makes games run like crap by piggybacking Denuvo and UPlay both on their games? The company that has milked the open-world genre to the point the cow's tit has cancer? The company that cannot release a single game without harassing you for money with microtransactions? You're demential. EA, Activision and Ubisoft are the three-headed hydra of AAA gaming evil. Capcom have been doing aces compa...
Based on what, exactly?
Hardware? From what we've glimpsed, if there's any differences in hardware, they'll be negligible. And Sony already confirmed the next generation of PSVR (which, suck it, haters, is the market leader in VR hardware), so they have a leg up on that.
Software? Sony already has the most solid exclusives library and acclaimed studios under their banner. Microsoft bought a ton of new studios, but they historically have wasted...
