I can only agree with this 👍

On PlayStation it ain’t a nuisance because the psn account is valid for every game, but on pc I agree with you.

Yeah PSN not being available everywhere is weird and not good for their sales then.

I guess every PlayStation game on pc is kind of belonging to the PlayStation universe and that’s why it’s an excuse to demand a psn account.

I’m addicted to trophies so I don’t mind the psn account.

I guess people who don’t want to get a psn account should just not play these games and not pirate them as some people are suggesting.

I’m honestly asking why people are so furious about the psn account. Is it because you don’t want to give your data to Sony?

I’d clearly understand with something like facebook or google, but I don’t think giving my data to Sony is the end of the world.

I’m not a pc gamer and I wouldn’t want to have every company pushing for their own account, but I don’t see why Sony is getting so criticized when (I think) Ubisoft or Electronic Arts have been doing this for years on PC.

Yeah Lemmy is really a perfect replacement without any big downside. I really enjoy the community and the help you can get from it.

Yeah probably. Cyberpunk was another example even if it came way earlier in the lifecycle.

Maybe if you see it that way. But just thinking about how much you need to upgrade your PC or tinker with it for everything to work is too much for me.

I already don’t like the fact that on ps5 you have to choose between performance and fidelity modes, so imagine if I had to choose settings on a pc.

Also on consoles, you just know a game is gonna work perfectly, which is not always the case on pc.

But PC is better for some players and console are better for some others.

I sometimes consider jumping to PC gaming, but I see too many inconveniences for now.

Well I’m not against games becoming more impressive visually per se, but against the fact that because of this games are becoming way more expensive to produce and companies are now risk averse.

But yeah I might have said « this is it » in front of quite a few games 😅

On PlayStation you can still buy second hand games because of the disc drive. I don’t know if PC still have a blu-ray drive anymore.

You can still get a lot of new games on ps4 which is a cheap console.

I guess that for some people having a gaming pc is cheaper, but for me having a ps5 and a weak pc is cheaper.

It depends on the user…

I really don’t regret buying my ps5, but I could totally still be on ps4 as I’m mostly playing games from the previous generation or available on it.

But at one point, there’ll be quite a few games which wouldn’t be able to run on ps4. The question is when.

I also feel like we don’t need to have more beautiful games than Last of Us 2, so I hope one day we’ll stop focusing so much on better looking games.

Well I don’t see why you couldn’t emulate it on a ps5. People are doing it on pc so I guess it’s more that Sony doesn’t care and don’t want to invest in it.

It’s one side where Microsoft is better than Sony, retrocompatinility.

I’m still playing a lot of ps4 and ps3 games, so I hope my ps3 is gonna stay fit for purpose in the long term 🤞

Yeah and don’t forget that even with the inflated price, a ps5 is cheap compared to a pc as powerful.

I guess I really wasn’t into the game as I wasn’t emotionally involved at all. Not like in Last of Us 2 when Abby and Ellie are fighting. I was feeling their pain and anger and was really destabilized as if two of my close friends were fighting.

I don’t remember this mission. In MGS V? Since I played the game around its launch, I just remember how disappointed I was.

I’d be really happy about anything bringing more people on Lemmy and the Fediverse, so I wouldn’t complain about it.

Maybe I’m not seeing the big picture as some people seem to be scared of such a move.

Thanks for the info.

I had already looked at it and nothing applies to my country, especially because I don’t own « the Crew ».

But I just watched this video and it’s revolting : https://youtu.be/QZYy9KzFT2w?si=znDa-mFop0AQvSu9

I hope everyone keeps putting some pressure on legislators about such things.

We have to remind companies that buying is buying.

I wish there was a petition for my country.

It’ll be interesting to see what it changes for us consumers.

What I’m happy to see is that they talk less about games as a service lately.

I’ve played FFVII remake and I’ve played 45 hours of rebirth and I’m enjoying it so far.

Maybe less than the original but I guess I’ve changed in 25 years and I want more mature and less japanese dialogues.

I’m fine with this as long as I’m still getting FFVII part.3 on PlayStation.

To be honest I don’t really care about exclusives and I think it should just be for first party developers.

Although I wouldn’t mind getting Gears of War on PlayStation.
