It looks really good, but Dishonored 2 didn't exactly set the world on fire. My guess is that a lot of Playstation 5 owners aren't even aware of this game yet.
Lol I was going to make fun of the "Morrowind was better" people for trying to get hardcore credibility, then I realized I can't let a Far Cry story pass on here without mentioning Far Cry 2 and how it was the best and the new ones hold your hand too much.
If it's a situation where 25% of a server is consistently made up if bots, that will be lame. If it's more the case that a bit takes over a spot or two while people come in and out of the game, that will be fine.
I am glad it has them as an option to play with on your own, though. As someone who still breaks out the 2004 Battlefront from time to time, I'd much rather have bots to set up custom multiplayer with than a tacked on campaign.
Sony wouldn't have made PS3 $599 if it wasn't going to sell at that price.
EA wouldn't have released Anthem if its playerbase was going to die.
Nintendo wouldn't have made the Wii U if it wasn't going to sell.
Square Enix wouldn't have made an Avengers game unless it was going to make money.
I agree that some games should focus on multiplayer (i.e. shooters with tacked on campaigns). This game just isn't one of them.

It's because Nvidia did a much better job advertising and explaining their tech than anyone else has. They actually provide video comparisons of games with and without DLSS 2.0, whereas for console-specific techniques we usually only see the technique implemented, without a 1:1 comparison of how it would look against native 4k. Indeed, the whole point of my comment was that other people have been using these techniques, but it was Nvidia's marketing for DLSS 2.0...
@Fishy Fingers
Obviously not, neither console has an Rtx card. I said that people had seen the comparisons, not that the happened on console.
@CantThinkOfAUsernane
Which do you think came first, the chants or the "world police phase"?
In MGS: Peace Walker you fight against the CIA. No one cared. (I know it's not set in the Middle East btw I'm just saying the US is the enemy, at least in a sense without getting into all the MGS details).
I know you are ripping on fanboys for being hypocritical, but I think the acceptance of "fake 4k" techniques is largely because of DLSS 2.0. People have seen direct comparisons of DLSS to native 4K and can't notice a resolution difference, while they can see a significant framerate boost for DLSS. So I think that has made people more accepting of things like FSR and "checkerboarding" generally.
I've actually found it to be a strong testament to this game that even the people who supposedly disliked it can't stop thinking about it or commenting on it. I can't remember the last time I disliked a game and was still talking about it a year later.
But if multiplayer is free, why would the disc people be against downloading it digitally? For a free game that you play online anyway, the only difference is the method of installation, and that's assuming that putting in the disc wouldn't actually just trigger the download of the MP.
It would seem like the September slot would be the best move. Get out ahead of most of the other big fall launches.
But you want to be out before Black Friday. And I know that it will be on Gamepass, but there are still plenty of people who buy games, so I'd assume that will continue to be a factor for a few more years at least.
@Sonic-and-Crash
I don't know why you are treating Halo like it's supposed to be a graphical showpiece. Of course Guerilla's games look better; they always have (compare Killzone 2 on PS3 to any of the 360 Halo games, for instance). I mean when Halo 3 came out it didn't look that much better than 2 given the stronger hardware, but no one plays those games for visuals. Honestly the better visuals comparison was between Killzone and Gears of War.
Probably not, but I think the assumption was that people have figured this out more in the fourteen years since 2007.
What upcoming true PS5 exclusive (non cross gen) do we have to look forward to right now? Honestly the closest thing we have is a timed exclusive that MS is publishing (Deathloop). I guess you could throw in Square's timed exclusives as well, although who knows how long FF16 and Forspoken will actually take to come out. Obviously there is every reason to believe Horizon and God of War will be great, but neither is PS5 exclusive.
@darthv72
Yeah I think there are going to be a lot of people who buy PS5 first from 2020-2022 and then in 2023-2024 buy a series S to play the 1-2 games per year they really feel like they are missing. And imagine if by that point the price of the S is lower. I mean, what if they up the SDD to 1TB and get it to $249? People would buy it on a whim like they do the Switch. I have my problems with the Series S from a technical standpoint, but as far as a business proposition i...
Lol and half of them are probably the same people who make long posts about how brilliant Game of Thrones is for being willing to kill off major characters.
I highly doubt it will be better than 2, but I'll check it out.
