I guess I just think this is Sony doing bad things, and not Nintendo doing good things. It’s good for games to be available to more people, also it’s bad if games become mtx nft hellscapes, I hope these aren’t our two choices

two roads diverged in a yellowed wood, one towards "making a lot of money" and one towards "making games that are good." and that has made all the difference.

opening the cash shop would reset all your cooldowns and people were abusing that in pvp

was that before or after the bug where if you put the game in windowed mode and dragged the game around on your desktop you'd become invincible until you let go of it
couldn't hit anything but you could stand on a capture point in pvp and be unkillable

i mean it doesnt inherently lose money. i wouldnt say theyre floundering either, their console is selling fine, and regarldless of how funny it is im sure w the pc ports included theyre doing well off the titles theyre releasing/remaking/porting, even if theyre currently probably down coming off the back of covid lockdown money. what it does is change how they make money and what their aims are, and that is generally making less games and making the ones they do make more and more risk free. this is an overall loss for gaming. it is not a benefit to games as a form of media for there to be less games made and for them to be more infected with horrible monetization and game design choices to ensure theyre a more profitable and consumable product. it is not a benefit to games as a form of media for a major platform holder and publisher to nuke a huge portion of their studios and staff because what they make is too risky and not mass marketable.

yall all realize that the tiny list of "PS5 exclusives" is 99% not because of the handful of PC ports the hundred-million-dollar-marketing-budget crossplatform GaaS blobs
it's because of PS4/PS5 crossplatform games
which makes perfect sense, since the ps4 is already just a general purpose computer in a box and the ps5 is just a ps4 with higher specs. there is no game on earth that you can make on ps5 that you couldn't also have made on ps4 with a bit lower fidelity graphics (which 99% of gamers are just fine with). that is why there are no ps5 exclusives

the PS5 released on nov 12, 2020
there have been 413 playstation 4 games with release dates on or after nov 12 2020, according to wikipedia's list of ps4 games. that's more than one release every 2 days.

there are plenty of playstation games

so youre saying that the playstation 4, the console that i already own and can still purchase, has plenty of games on it that i dont need a playstation 5 to play

how does this counter the argument of the playstation 5 having a paltry amount of exclusive games exactly?

how many are not on pc already or going to be on pc soon, and worth playing. the answer is bloodborne and nothing else.

and hell, like i mentioned before, if you're at least reasonably close to a data center you can just get PS now and play bloodborne on PC for effectively the same experience

i had to lose 6 times in a row first and get demoted all the way to the bottom BUT i won like 5 or 6 in a row after that and got higher than i was previously :toot:

it seems like just playing around in training mode during the weekdays and then doing ranked for a bit on the weekends is paying off. i'm certainly enjoying myself!

competitive multiplayer becomes a lot of fun when you come to internalize that it's not testing your skill but your resolve, and that finding the courage to keep queuing up, admitting your mistakes, and trying your hardest will eventually get you gains no matter what

Playing through oneshot for the first time.

I'm at what I assume is the ending.

Save the world or return home. gently caress you game. You wanna tell me I can't close out of the game during cutscenes, gently caress you I'm ending the process. Not playing by your dumbass rules.

Guess that's where I'm leaving it.

Finished FFX yesterday. It stuck the landing. Every FF game I have played has left me utterly happy with how everything finished. So far, with only 5 games under my belt, there are no bad Final Fantasy games. Each one is off doing whatever it wants to do unrestrained by the previous one and they have all been an utter delight to get involved in and beat!

I have a saved game from right before the end and I think I might attempt some of the post game stuff and grinding stuff just on my own time. It would be cool to win against a dark aeon.

Your reaction made me curious so I looked up the game and I have a (fairly predictable) spoiler for you to read if you're interested.

The game is doing an Undertale and you should keep playing.
