I probably would have given the edge to the first BioShock last generation. TLOU 2 might be the first game to surpass it in terms of attention to detail and environmental storytelling (granted there are genres I don't play, so if some JRPG is in the mix, I wouldn't know).
While I don't believe for a second that this guy owned PS3 and not PS4 (because I don't believe anyone who stuck around for PS3 switched after that, everyone was switching the other direction that gen), I agree with the point. BC should be a feature of the system, not a paid service.
Exactly. Just admit defeat on PS3 BC and give us everything else.
I've bought every PlayStation and am going to by PS5 via pre-order if I can jump on it before they sell out. But I can't understand why it is so hard for them to get that streaming is not the answer. And I get that it might be the only solution for PS3 games, and I'm willing to begrudgingly accept that (even though the PC emulation community has proven that PS3 emulation is viable), but PS1, PS2, and PS4 games should all run natively, no excuses.
Saying a system is "designed" for a certain framerate doesn't mean anything. Any system for the last several gens could run a game at 60 fps if the graphics were limited enough. I'm pretty sure every COD since the series became big has been at 60 fps, even COD4 on PS3, which was before most devs even figured out how to use the cell processor. But if you push graphics enough, it will be too much for any graphics card to run at 60 fps. And that's what happens every single ...
I mean, money becomes worth less over time, so prices are going to increase at some point. There's a reason PS1 games were usually $40, PS2 games $50, and PS3 $60. The surprise isn't that games will be $70 now; it's that they weren't already $70. We basically got a generation where costs didn't go up with inflation. I don't know how we could expect to get that forever.
You can tell who the younger people are on these stories. People who started playing in the last two gens seem to think games have been $60 since the dawn of time, when really we were lucky to have two gens in row at that price. PS1 games typically started at $40, and PS2 games were usually $50. It was honestly a very pleasant surprise that PS4 games stayed at $60.
And that's just disc-based games. Older cartridge-based games could be more expensive even back in the N6...
It was surprising to me how late in Abby's campaign she found out that the Jackson crew was there hunting her friends down.
You seem unable to stop thinking about it, so that's a good sign.
After they have basically recognized the problems with their third party showcase and the far more positive reaction to the PS5 event, I'm assuming they're going to come out guns blazing.
@Ouchiehurts
I'm loving that your justification for why the game is bad is that people are ripping on it, and you also use the fact that some people like it as evidence that it is bad. Your logic is self-contradictory. And if course none of your comments have any actual critiques of the game, just "well some YouTubers who usually play Apex legends didn't like it, so it must be bad."
@Ouchieshurts
So basically you are either parodying the exact people I'm talking about or you are one of them. Works to prove my point either way.
I think there is an argument to be made that, despite the numbers he killed at the Firefly base, Joel's actions were objectively more ethical than Dr. Anderson's (Abby's Dad), although his motivations were selfish. Dr. Anderson was going to kill a child, while she was unconscious and had no opportunity to consent (and it's debatable whether as a minor she could have consented, but it's telling that she was not given the opportunity), in order to give other people a better ...
And the people who supposedly hate it apparently think about it all the time.
I'll give you points for pointing to underdevelopment with Dina, since that's one of the first valid criticisms of this game I've seen anyone make on here. While the story establishes through flashbacks that Ellie was friends with both her and Jesse for awhile, it did seem like she went from "we kissed a few times and smoked pot together" to "I'm coming on your revenge quest hundreds of miles away." Although I understand why they did it; it's the same r...
They are assuredly also the same people who think they sound smart by talking about "plot armor" when all the main characters survive in a game/movie.
It's too bad, because while playing, I thought we'd all be having interesting discussions about the ethics of Joel's decision to save Ellie at any cost vs. Dr. Anderson's decision to perform surgery on Ellie, or Abby's justification for seeking revenge vs. Ellie's justification, and what it m...
The funny thing is that I do think there are valid criticisms to be made of this game, I just haven't seen anyone making them. And when I suggest that some criticisms are not valid, I don't just mean opinions I dislike. I mean that from what I have seen, people's criticisms fall into several categories: 1) people who obviously didn't play the game and are just going off of the "spoilers" which were only partially correct, 2) people who managed to ignore key story det...
I hope there is no third game. Hopefully they go back to straightforward Uncharted games where the hero wins and the bad guys lose. That's all anyone seems to be equipped to handle.
Quite happy to disagree with Kotaku.
Everyone's takeaway is "oh, that's why Epic has been praising Sony and PS5 so much recently." Which, fair enough. But what I fail to see is how it's a bad thing for a platform to be intimately associated with one of the premier game engine studios. Putting aside all PR nonsense, it seems like a really good thing that will result in better Unreal optimization for Sony than they would have gotten otherwise.
