Meh.

Meh. I have a ps5, but I’ll wait til it hits gamepass if it does. It’s a timed exclusive. Judging from a majority of the reviews tho, I can wait.

But also:

The chickens have come to roost

Sony prepping for live service games. Same reason they bought Bungie.

Sony is prepping for its own live service games.

Good luck with that. Money makes the world go round. Even Sony now realizes they can’t make enough money simply selling $70 single player exclusives and not having a type of subscription service or mechanism to keep players engaged in a single title or service. It’s all about ROI (return on investment). Sure they have psnow but it’s treated as an afterthought and hardly an amazing value prop with it it’s current level of offerings.

Games are more expensive than ever to deve...

Meh. pc players often times have some superiority complex and love telling you how much better they are for being pc gamers so I’m ok letting them have to wait for something.

“… and also the Xbox versions has 3d audio too!”

yes, us Americans sure don't understand any other names... even tho GRRM is an American himself and we are one of the most ethnically/culturally diverse countries in the world...

what an ironically ignorant comment.

I love the game personally but this is one thing i was concerned about since day one…. Especially after reading the IGN review which basically says it makes buying cars and certain upgrades exceptionally hard with in game earned credits and also limits availability - all of which seem to want to compel the player to buy credits with real money - not unlike a pay to win strategy. I actually thought if enough people complained about it, they’d re-weight the purchases to make less grinding. It s...

I think a better way to think about this which the article clearly misses is managing one’s expectations on how much you can optimize a game that is well over a decade old. If you rebuild the entire game from the ground up that would be a remake or a reboot, not optimizing for a new generation. Also - you would basically just make that gta6. You don’t take your Toyota Corolla in for a new paint job and get disappointed when it’s not suddenly a Ferrari when you pick it up. For me personally th...

And streaming killed cds and cds killed tapes and tapes killed 8 tracks and 8 tracks killed vinyl and so on.

The thing this article doesn’t take into account is that not every game is a live service and even live service games could still have historical versions of every season they offer.

This feels more like a fear of change. The very thing younger generations get on to boomers about and so on.

Hard shrug on this one.

probably a smart move, all things considered.

I dunno if this trick works on PS5 as I ended up buying it on Series X (just have more GTA playing friends on Xbox is literally the only reason so don't hate on me), but if you change your location to Japan and reboot, you can play the new version right now. I've been playing it off and on all day today.

The upgrades are very nice. Its significantly sharper and more clear. The raytracing stuff is nice. It seems to have better reflection quality etc (whether it be sc...

actually not really. I mean, its the same game obviously but it feels way better. i was literally playing the last gen version of it last night on the Series X with friends. today i set my Series X location to Japan, rebooted and it let me play the updated "next gen" version early since its tomorrow in Japan. (it really works for those of you who are interested).

Its significantly sharper, textures are way better, the ray tracing is a welcomed addition and also ...

that feels like like probably 3 too many imo but to each their own i guess.

at some point just make it like a PC and have individual settings. since its a console, set up a performance budget and for every parameter you increase it takes out of your budget. when you use up all your budget, thats your custom graphics mode and doing it this way will make sure you always get good performance but with the things important to you prioritized.

i dont really have any interest in this game. Im not really into jrpgs or anything BUT based on the other reviews i've seen for this game so far, this feels like a troll review and its pretty hard to take it seriously when the other reviews i've seen have largely been pretty similar - putting this at around a 7, give or take.
