No physical = no buy... and none of that empty launcher disc nonsense (Doom The Dark Ages)

TheGamersDojo127d ago

You can expect it to be EXACTLY like Doom the Dark Ages and Indiana Jones IF it has a physical copy.

Christopher127d ago

Really happy to see new races and a new weapon. Going to enjoy NG+.

VenomUK127d ago (Edited 127d ago )

PlayStation might have got the Mickey Mouse RPG, Avowed, but it will NEVER get Starfield - and you can quote me on that!

Alos88127d ago

Really? Starfield exclusivity is your idea of a gotcha?

TriniOutsider127d ago

Listen man, Xbox already lost its three biggest pillars to PS5. Halo, Foza, and Gears. It's just a matter of time for Starfield.

"Just four games" said some guy.

boing1127d ago

Brah...Starfield is a done deal.

Christopher127d ago (Edited 127d ago )

Avowed >>> Starfield. I've put over 100 hours in Starfield. I gave it its due. Avowed is just better gameplay, story, voice acting. Hands down. The problem is it's just not everyone cup of tea for an RPG setting/concept. It's more like Fable. But it's good.

So bragging about Starfield not going to PS5 is a very weird flex, IMHO. It got carried by the Bethesda name. If someone else had put it out, it would underperformed.

Now, on the topic of 'losing another one'. I'd be fine if all exclusives were timed. Give it 2 to 4 years exclusivity on a platform and then just splurge it everywhere. I don't see this as Microsoft losing anything. They had their biggest sales potential on their platform, now get more elsewhere.

Ethereal127d ago

PlayStation will get Starfield. I'm willing to put money on it.

Lightning77127d ago (Edited 127d ago )

Has to be s joke because SF is rumored to be slated for PS5. Listen everything is going over. Thought we were past this a long Time ago.

VenomUK127d ago

@Christopher et al. Regarding PlayStation 'NEVER' getting Starfield, I was merely meme-ing the many who vehemently said and believed the same the same thing! Now the holy trinity has been confirmed I thought it obvious to everyone that means the whole slate is going to PlayStation.

Also, 'tis true I have not played Avowed for myself, but the reviews I read and watched when it launched were mostly critical, hopefully the big update fixes all that. As will the big Starfield update should so that PS5 players get to experience the game it was always meant to be.

Putte127d ago (Edited 127d ago )

You do know that Starfield for PS5 is heavily rumored right..
And also Starfield was a really Bad game.

Elda126d ago (Edited 126d ago )

Like the words of Connie Marble..."We'll just see!!" XB is now a third party developer, it's just that some & I mean some of their newly released games may be timed exclusive on the XB gaming console then it'll eventually release on the PS5 gaming console.

So is Avowed as big as Halo and Forza? (Agree for this) Or more of the same level as Sea of Thieves? (Disagree for this)

Neonridr127d ago

why would you ever think a one-off RPG like Avowed would compare to storied franchises like Halo and Forza?

I think you already know the answer to your question without even needing responses.

maximusprime_127d ago

Honestly I never heard of Avowed. I just wanted to know how big Avowed was when it was on xbox

Neonridr127d ago

@maximusprime - totally different game from the ones you mentioned. I don't think it moved any needles, although it getting a second chance on the PS5 isn't a bad thing for the game.

Christopher127d ago

Avowed isn't one-off. It's in the Pillars of Eternity slew of games and continues the story after Deadfire.

Neonridr124d ago

@Christopher - fair enough, I don't know enough about the entire story. I just don't feel it compares to more established franchises like Halo and and Forza.

Slightly above Sea of Thieves I'd say. But Sea of Thieves sold well on PS5 at release. Avowed is a niche RPG due to its setting and lack of nostalgia behind it. But it is a traditional Western RPG that mostly indies are providing nowadays. It's nice to see bigger studios continuing to support them. Especially since BioWare seems to be dealing with internal issues on their end.

Avowed PS5 Review | Obsidian's Most Ambitious RPG | Spawning Point

Avowed arrives on PS5 after a year of post-launch refinement and it shows. Obsidian's writing delivers a richly layered mystery with companions who challenge rather than echo the player. Dual-wielding combat offers genuine flexibility across melee, ranged, and magical archetypes. Twenty to forty hours of filler-free content. PS5 players are getting the best version of a very good RPG.
