@Lup Dying Light The Beast and Baby Steps both got a 8 recently. Kingdom Come 2 got a 10, E33 got a 9/10. Silk Song is a 9/10 but yes let's make a false narrative up.
If you defend this then you're a corporate shill as far as i'm concerned. You're better off just buying the games then subbing yearly now. Its disgusting and makes freaking Plus a better deal.
Basically every console version of the game is pretty terrible and the Devs have no business making console versions of their mediocre games as clearly they only care for PC and will half arse console ports.
@Ricky-Spanish The game gets more chaotic and the bigger visual effects come at higher difficulties. When you're playing at higher difficulties the maps turn into never ending warzones especially with the machine enemies where the game turns into the future battles from Terminator. Early on the game can feel modest but you will find as you go along the carnage goes into insane levels.
@JON22 Higher res screens will make lower res games look worse. 720p on a 1080p or 720p screen will look fine but on a 4K screen it will look pretty bad and blurry.
@Ricky-Spanish If they had a deal why hasn't Sony said anything? Why there no footage of the PS5 version prior to launch except a 1 min vid from IGN Japan? Why is the PS5 version dreadful? Why is the Pro update dreadful? What exactly did Sony get from this supposed deal?
Want to know the likely story? The Devs put all the focus on the PS5 version as they had never made a console game before so rather then overwhelming themselves they focused on the PS5. Once they started working on the Xbox version they ran into problems with the SS and giving their lack of experience the issues were bigger to them then others. They picked August 20th as the release date for both PS5 last year and Xbox this year because that date is important to them.
@WildConcept6 The game can't even do 60fps on the Pro, its fake 60fps as in they framegen from 30fps and its awful. Res is pretty blurry as well no matter the mode or console and the visual settings are pretty low or very low PC settings with none of the visual stuff that makes the PC version so pretty.
@Ricky-Spanish You say that but Lies of P and the Nioh games are easily up there with the best of From games with LiP surpassing most of From's titles.
Will be interesting to how much of a mess it is on Xbox giving how much of a mess it is still is on PS5 and PS5 Pro. The console version is a scam imo.
@FarmDog08 Released a multiple GOTY award winner last year as well as one of the most popular live service games in recent time that's even getting an Xbox port next month.
Yeah i double dipped for PS5 mainly because i owned it on my Series S so i wanted that visual boost from the Pro. One of my fav games this Gen so had no issue buying it again.
@Ricky-Spanish Well its hard to be positive right now with MS to be fair. I will say i'm glad Helldivers 2 is coming to Xbox, in fact i hope Sony adds Xbox to the day 1 releases for live service games like PC. I also thinks its really cool that Helldivers 2 and Gears are releasing the same day, its cool synergy and a nice handshake between Sony and MS. Also another positive one is one of my most hyped games is a MS published one in Clockwork Revolution, i thought it looked incredible and i'm happy MS are supporting it.
@Ricky-Spanish I joke all the time on there its just PQ can also take criticism and not get funny over the slightest slight against their favourite Corp and plastic gaming toy.
@somnambulance Helldivers 2 actually has a USP unlike Concord. Concord offered nothing new but Helldivers 2 is unlike anything else. Concord being sold at $40 also ran into the trouble of every other big hero shooter being F2P.
@Ricky-Spanish Nah he's pretty far up he has a ton of say and deserves all the backlash. He's a snake always has been and wouldn't think twice about stabbing his own Mum in the back for a pay rise. Easily one of the worst most incompetent people to have a leadership role in gaming.
@Ricky-Spanish I haven't watched 28 Years Later yet but i think its overrated and the critics are biased. See how dumb that sounds. Its not like you based that opinion on having seen a load of gameplay from streams or heard the game is buggy and broken but you haven't you're just salty a website gave it a 10 while another game you like got a 9 on it.
@Ricky-Spanish Have you played Death Stranding 2 and finished it? If not you can't really judge review scores from people who have actually played and finished it especially when the game isn't out yet.
@Ricky-Spanish I game just fine on my SS. I'm not wrong though Xbox is a "gamepass" console and its why Forza and Gears are now on PS5 as Xbox players rarely buy games.
@Gabrie Dude the only reason MS has gone this route is because Xbox the consoles aren't selling and because of Gamepass their games that cost millions upon millions to make aren't selling. MS is latching on to Gamepass and PC and porting to PS/Switch because it has no choice. Its not about change its about pivoting to something else because you're so far bottom there's no hope of ever getting high again. Quite frankly i think the next "Xbox" will be an utter disaster and will finally see MS leave console hardware all together as they fully become Sega 2.0. Sony like Nintendo will do fine because they are the only two console makers who have truly understood the console market, its why they built themselves back up if something went wrong and why to this day PS and Nintendo consoles are still going very strong while Xbox is all but dead.
@Balaam_ Devil May Cry 3 and 5 exist so right there is two games that exist that beat Stellar Blade in combat. Don't get me wrong SB has great combat but its far from the best.
Yeah not exactly shocking its not doing well on the Gamepass console. This is why Sony have zero interest in supporting Xbox as their games wouldn't sell on it.
B i think is fair. Lots of really cool stuff but i feel it lacked that BIG reveal and ending with COD was deflating. Again though really solid showcase though.
@Kaloudz August 20th is an important date for the Devs, they also released trailers and reveals on that date as well. They most likely are releasing the game on that date because its an important to them just like why it was the same date for PS5.
Also trust me if Sony had a timed deal then they wasted their money as they done zero marketing for it, the PS5 version had only a 1 minute clip released 2 days prior to release to show that version off, the PS5 version is pretty awful both visually and in performance (its 60fps is faked using frame gen and its awful) and the Pro update was really bad and only added a mid 40fps mode. Sony got nothing from this supposed deal.
@Ricky-Spanish Yeah hence why Indy is on PS5 because MS have to make money from it. Gamepass and $69B buyouts are why MS are now a 3rd party publisher.
@GeeForce Missing the point. MS need the Playstation audience but Sony doesn't need the Xbox audience. I bet if Sony ported TLoU over to Xbox it wouldn't crack 1M and many will just "wait for it on Gamepass". Isn't Indy already selling more on PS5 then Xbox? Yeah that's why MS are now a 3rd party publisher who just so happen to have a console as well
@Sindayl I mean Sony didn't ask MS for their games MS went to them because they finally realised they need to sell games and not just "give them away". Sony don't need MS but MS needs Sony.
@SaltySpitoon957 Annoyingly its not a bug. The issue is the QTE is timed for 30fps as GTA IV on console was designed for 30fps but with it now 60fps the timing is now broking.
