How on earth do you get that from what she said?
If anything that gives the *most* assurance that they're going to best support current hardware and software for it and playable on it
Even Phil, when he's posted about playing PS titles.
It's undeniable that PS Studios lead the industry in consistency, even with the recent GaaS blunders except Helldivers 2
I agree with you, XVI being how it was will be harmful to the franchise I feel. It would've fared better as a new IP or the best DMC6 if it came without the added bloat of the underdeveloped side quests and the semi-open world.
Hopefully it did do better in the states. But if not maybe it's a call for simpler, less-expansive open titles. I got it day one but I know once I start it I'm basically not playing anything else for a good chunk of time.
Can we expect the "article" for when the demo's also coming to Switch?
And another for when there's still no word on an Xbox release?
"are people just unprincipled?"
I mean... You're on this site. You've seen the discourse over COD, how awful it is, yet how aful Microsoft was for taking COD away from PS gamers, despite not once saying they wanted to do that.
Another similar one - fans of BG3 since day one refusing to buy Alan Wake 2 because it doesn't have a physical edition. Or anyone calling 30fps unacceptable but is enjoying DD2. Or anyone complaining about bloa...
Kotaku's been praising Stellar Blade though
What was that figure from earlier in the week, like 60% of game time or something like that is spent on games older than 6 years?
No wonder it's like that, when people think even RPGs *need* to have legs for a decade, immediately when they launch.
DF said no such thing about Capcom being lazy in regards to DD2's performance. The only laziness they suggested was the lack of a 30fps cap toggle.
Which is now patched into the game. DF acknowledges the struggles the game has with CPU bottlenecks and acknowledges Capcom's remarks committing to look into it especially on PC.
Anything else is a false interpretation by you, but you probably didn't watch their coverage on it anyway (you clearly d...
The winner of the Logic Cake has to be Bungie, though.
Wanted to be free from Halo and MS, so they buy themselves out, only to partner up with Activision, in the same timeframe as Activision ousting the heads of Infinity Ward, for a full decade with Destiny.
... And then things start falling apart in that relationship almost immediately, whodathought!
How're you enjoying that unstable 30fps in Dragon's Dogma 2, Sonic?
No idea what to do? Horrible sense of direction? It doesn't tell you what to do?
There's like one path forward. And then there's only like one moment where you get to choose a path, and whichever path you choose has just one path forward through it. Unless you've been playing on mute while looking at another TV, I find this impossible to believe.
... Except that Kotaku's preview for the game (based on the demo) is glowing with praise, as has been their general tone of coverage for it, too.
The importance of demos especially for single-player new IPs!
I went from get-it-if-reception-is-good-an d-on-sale, to preordering it as soon as I beat the boss challenge. Reading about the studio head buying all his staff PS5s after was the icing on the cake - stellar gameplay, a complete package, *and* a rewarding studio culture at the helm. Can't wait for it to release.
Amazon hasn't let me down yet on a Day One release. Rebirth Collector's Edition came day-of and in the early afternoon. I expect the same for when I get Stellar Blade.
Best Buy stopped carrying games in-store so delivery is the only option now and I just don't trust them with that. Somehow my Death Stranding Limited Edition, years ago, showed up physically bent in half in the torn-up box that it got delivered in. BB can forever F off, in my opinion.
"Why the pessimism?"
The pessimism got rewarded with that free PS5, he's trying to get a PS Portal now.
It's not. This is just part of the complain-about-everything echo chamber.
If this were a PS title the discourse would be 100% reversed and the ones complaining would be doing the praising.
I'm going to play through Bioshock 2 this weekend!
Not because of anything relating to lacking new quality games to play (I 110% disagree with that assertion), but because it's short, I found the Collection disc on sale, and it's the only Bioshock I haven't played yet.
I find it absolutely absurd to suggest that game quality is dipping. The discourse and discussion around gaming is what's losing quality. Look at the conversation around Eternal S...
As a player that'll be on PC, this right here.
I'd actually hope for Halo to come to PS and Nintendo at this point.
The community rejected a mictotransaction option so MCC is no longer maintained - no new revenue streams and Microsoft listened. Infinite is on Content Updates now instead of Seasons - dwindling playerbase and less excitement. If MS wants the franchise to thrive, that's free money and the same could essentially be said for Gears bringing them abroad.
Gamers have their options.
We chose Hogwarts Legacy - WB wants MK1 and SS in spite of SS's failure. We chose BG3 - Larian doubles down and even rejects DLC that would've been basically free money. Naughty Dog rejected GaaS, Spider-Man GaaS got cancelled. Microsoft invests years into a short Hellblade 2, while expanding a positively-received GaaS Sea of Thieves and Grounded abroad. Ubisoft thinks Skull and Bones is AAAA, but that ship is sunk by Early Access Palworld...
