People keep saying ps5 has no games, and yet PlayStation keeps releasing bangers. Idk wtf people are talking about. Pc not getting PlayStation games anymore is a huge loss.
No. PlayStation owns Until Dawn. Until Dawn 2 is being made by Firesprite (a PlayStation studio) while Supermassive (original devs) are currently making the Dark Pictures games.
That is unrelated to the first comment. The fact that there are a lot more games on PC has nothing to do with the fact that some PS5 exclusives are great and it will be a pity for some people to not be able to play them on PC
"Huge loss" is up to each one and is, therefore, an opinion. There might be 1 gazillion games out there and they might be great. But if the game I crave the most for is the new God of War, I won't care about the rest.
To give you an example, last year I was searching for a "cheap" PS5 on eBay so that I could play Death Stranding 2. At around that time I had just bought MH World, Kingdom Come 2, Space Marine 2, but I couldn't care less because what I really wanted to play was DS2 which, having finished it last week, is my favorite game of all time. If someone had made me chose between DS2 and 20 other games, I would've chosen DS2
Nope. I don't get where you would get that. I said "to some people it is a huge loss". That's it. One of those people is me. I know others. I don't get why they said that a large number of games means that, factually, it is no longer a huge loss
As someone who is newly (as of 2 years ago) a PC owner and, in huge part, originally bought a PC to play PS exclusives while also getting the side benefits of PC, this is a massive loss and I know for a fact Iām not the only one whoās disappointed I wonāt be able to play wolv or the next GoW (especially GoW).
Some of you PC owners get so weird about exclusives, like yāall just call the game trash if you canāt play it. Yes PC is nice and, excluding the price of the hardware, is probably better overall but letās not kid ourselves, thereās nothing really like the wolverine game or GoW thatās exclusive to PC. There really isnāt any high quality/big-budget blockbuster first party games. Valve used to make games like that but they donāt make jack shit anymore except annoying ass multiplayer games like deadlock.
Just own that it sucks and move on, yāall look pathetic trying to downplay a classic franchise like GoW, as if Santa Monica studio isnāt one of the best out there right now.
The reason people say this is because it's true in the context of previous PlayStation consoles in this timeframe.
Go any of the previous PlayStations and see the games released in the first 6 years, especially new IP/exclusives and the ps5 is a graveyard in comparison.
It has good games but if this was the first PlayStation console it would be considered a failure due to the lack of game support.
Yeah, Sony normally has a planned release cadence in mind but the whole PS5 generation has been off. Most games at the start were upscaled PS4 games, then some remasters which while they look nice doesn't stick out on your mind.
Yotei was the first title that got me actively playing my PS5 again.
You also have to keep in mind the conditions around PS5's release. First of all, 2 of Sony's big titles released months before the PS5 (TLOU2 and Tsushima), and were eventually added to the PS5. The PS5 had on release Spiderman Miles Morales, Demon Souls remake, Sackboy adventure. And months later it got Returnal and Ratchet and Clank. After this, it could be said that COVID slowed down the development of other games, such as Forbidden West, Grand Turismo and GoW Ragnarok.
There was a running gag that the in world exploration clues kept taking us to content TOO enjoyable so that the main antagonists could survive a little longer. It was really fantastic.
Well thereās definitely chuds who go wah woman, and tho I havenāt finished it, I do think that the common sentiment is the story isnāt AS good as Ghost of Tsushima, itās still a good game. Itās just the Mongols story was REALLY good.
Game is really great. I went through and got the platinum on it. Scenery is gorgeous, gameplay is fun, and its really easy/fun to get sidetracked in the game. I think I had 20 hours in before I even beat the first of the Yotei Six outside the one you do in the tutorial.
The reason why they did this is because they didnāt make all that much money compared to PS5 purchases. Doubt itās really hurting their wallets really at all
Not saying I like it but they still need to sell consoles. And they get more money regardless by selling it on their store first than they would selling it on Steam simultaneously due to Steam taking 30%
Bro, people that wanted to buy a console already did, PS5 is not something new on the market. By not releasing on PC, they are instantly losing sales, no one is going to spend hundereds of dollars just to play one title
You don't have to sit in gaming industry or be good at maths to know that Sony abandoning PC and losing those sales do outweights money they will gain from people who potentially will buy a console because of it.
Its logical net negative if they do not participate. I don't even mind the decision, I have lots of titles I'm currently playing, just sucks to see Sony abandoning PC
no one is going to spend hundreds of dollars just to play one title.
No, many will, and plenty already have before. The amount of people I know that got a ps4 back in the day just to play bloodbourne is kinda insane.
Many also bought the switch at launch just to play BOTW. This happens all the time and the PS5 hasnāt really gotten a game like that yet imo, but now it might.
Maybe. I will say itās definitely not a heavy hitter like GoW 2018 or TLOU 2. But itās really only a matter of time until the PS5 gets one. And games like wolverine, GoW laufey, and ghost of yotei might not be system sellers on their own but they definitely start adding up.
Okay how about the PS6. How are you gonna convince PS5 players to buy a PS6 when PC gets everything and is cheaper in the long run? Releasing on PC is just a way to strangle their hardware business in the long term. Yes they make more software sales if they do it, at the risk of their hardware in the future
Someone else in this thread said that and I fully agree. If they made this decision whilist releasing PS6 it would make total sense to go full exclusive. It just doesn't make sense to do it now with 5+ year old product
So sell on epic where they take less. Or just have your own standalone PC launcher. I hope estly dont care if I need multiple launchers. It doesn't affect my ability to play a game. What does is trying to force me to spend 800$CAD for a console just to play three exclusives. Or in my case, just to play wolverine and eventually the next Spider-Man.
Making their own PC launcher which will just inevitably be worse than Steam is just throwing money down the drain. And Epic Games still takes some money too. Again, I donāt LIKE it and personally I think Sony is being incredibly lazy with finding a solution but this is the solution they came to unfortunately
Sony has a launcher already though. The interface on a PlayStation. Just move it to PC.
And to say that it'll inevitably be worse than steam is just being a pecimmist. Which means I assume you hate the epic launcher and any other launcher that isn't steam just because it's not steam.
Iām not really a hater of Epic Games. Iām just saying that out of every launcher, people generally just prefer Steam which leads to much less traffic to the others. And theyād still need to put the time and money in to make a new one on PC since they canāt just āmoveā it
āThey need to sell consolesā is a horrible way to think about it considering every company besides Nintendo actually loses a good chunk of money for ever single console sale. The real answer is they need more people on their platform so they can make money from every game purchase possible versus on pc where they only get paid if someone buys their game
If every player bought a ps6 when it releases and bought not a single game it would immediately kill PlayStation. They rely on purchases through their store to survive. That store is the only thing keeping them alive. Same goes for xbox
Waiting a few years to release to pc, plus the last few releases being incredibly buggy and unfinished. Yea no shit the sales werenāt that great. Its almost like bad ports dont sell well ever. I mean take gta for example. Its sales have always sucked on pc versus console because the ports are often awful
yeah because they release these first party games a year after it releases on their console. By the time they port it to PC, interest has already waned
Sony's revenue is 75% software 25% hardware. It's stupid kneecapping yourself by forcing people to buy their console to give them more money via software.
The reason their software is so high is people buying stuff via their ecosystem. Minecraft brings in more money for them than most of their 1st party games combined.
So then what's the harm with bringing that same ecosystem to another platform?
It seems like the ones who want to play Minecraft on their consoles in the living room are different than the ones who want to play Minecraft on their PCs in their room. But both those people want to play the new Wolverine game. What if that persuades person 2 to play Minecraft on their PC for an hour, then go on their PS5 and finish the session there?
It seems putting the PS Store and PSN on PC is a win-win, but Sony seems adamant in wanting everyone to play using their PS5 and losing the sales.
If there's someone who can compete with the Steam ecosystem, it's Sony given how strong their IPs are and how it may induce people to have both a PC and PS5 or whatever handheld they want to release in the future
Lmao why would I buy a PS5 I can just buy the games elsewhere.
Then, lmao why would I buy a PS5 for those shitty games
Astro Bot is legitimately amazing. Yet apparently people just wish for it to go to PC and not be the landmark console seller it wants to be. Well, now I'll be playing wolverine on my PS5 while PC players can wait for the emulators. Buy the system or don't, but you can't say there's no reason to own a PS5 and then whine the games you want aren't on PC
100% I really don't understand the hullabaloo surrounding this. Nintendo almost never puts their games on PC for very obvious reasons and when Microsoft does the same thing with XBOX titles they're chastised for having 'no exclusives' and accused of 'killing their brand.' When was the last time that PlayStation released an exclusive game that changed the medium forever; an absolute must-have that had everyone talking? Probably the Last of Us in 2013.
Its funny cus theyre still ps5 games. Not being exclusive to ps5 doesnt mean its not their games but the way people say that makes it sound like they dont make games.
And then as soon as they release an exclusive people bitch and moan about how they cant play it and Sony is a dogshit company with no mind for business. The gaming community is fucking miserable to be a part of sometimes.
I never really got why people say this either. Cause if they kept more exclusives gamers would be sad they have to buy a console. Why arenāt we happy about less exclusives?
Yeah insomniac and Santa Monica are doing a great carrying the FUCK out of sony on their backs because I don't see any other don't studios making good games lmao
I think part of the issue is that Sony would wait so long to launch stuff on PC the hype was gone. Add onto that since there is little to no hype that sales suffer then. I watched a streamer start Death Stranding 2 on PS5 but he didn't like the controls. He's a PC guy at heart. So he waited and finally played and beat the game recently on PC. He loved it. Said it was amazing and wished it was on PC day 1. Ending made him tear up and have an emotional moment as a dad. But again, he almost skipped it because by the time PC release happened, the hype wasn't there and there were other big games that came out he wanted to play.
Its a running gag since the ps3, the ps3 was soo hard to develop for like for a while all we had was bioshock, borderlands, cod and whatever shitty Bethesda game was out at the time, and the fact ever since the ps4 launched, almost every ps exclusive is a over the shoulder adventure game pushing shit down people's throats
Yes but no? Yeah there are good games, but there are just more games and indie games regardless, and cheaper too since I don't need to buy a separate console for ps games now.
I just don't feel the need for a $1000 entry fee. Same for Nintendo but with the added bonuses in that apparently they can brick your console AND you have to pay $80 every game and you can't play offline apparently.
It's not "no games", just not enough to justify purchase of an overpriced console. For example a Switch 2, I can justify buying the console for the games.
I literally got a PS5, expecting more games would come along but it never happened or too rarely. I ain't buying a console to play 1/2 games per year. And that's generous considering there's years with no games.
Which one of their exclusive is a banger? They are not bad games, but they are not exactly great either. Especially since they are all a flavor of the third-person movie game formula.
Nothing in particular. But Sony's games don't really have anything that really stands out.
Last of Us are decent, but kind of unremarkable gameplay wise. First game has a great story tho.
God of War is such a downgrade compared to the originals. Ghost of Tsushima is just another Ubisoft open world action game.
Yeah as if both GoW were just ānot bad but not exactly great eitherā sure maybe they were not for you but they are great games and absolute bangers.
Are they? Bad camera, simplified combat, laughable puzzles, so many forced walking, rowing whatever time wasting sections, tacked on shallow rpg mechanics. That is a banger?
Yes. Simplified doesnāt mean bad and I donāt remember the old god of war being that complex to begin with, I think the camera is worse in the old games.
The story is great, the cutscenes are great, acting is great, characters are great, presentation is absolutely stunning.
I was way more entertained by the new GoW than the old ones.
It might not be for you, you seem to not enjoy these moviesque games but to pretend GoW18 is mid is crazy.
Exactly. I hate exclusives like everybody else but why would get an Xbox when there's nothing on it that isn't on PC?
Frankly I also won't buy a Playstation because there's like 5 games I would play on it that aren't on PC and I ain't buying a whole ass console for that.
They are referring to exclusives when they say it has no games. Ps5 got demon souls remake and ghost of yotei thats it. All the other have been released on multiple platforms so yes ps5 has no games
The āPC master raceā ego is insane. I upgraded to a $3500 high end gaming pc a year and a half ago and sold my base PS5 a few months later. I lived regretting it heavily ever since. PC gaming life has been great and I still love itā¦.but thereās a certain magic that PlayStation has thatās just wasnāt on PC. And with future PS exclusives no longer being a thing for PC, that was just it for me lmao. My PS5 Pro is on its way tomorrow. Paid $900, oh well. It was a steep buy ngl, but I want a PlayStation again.
A few of these repliers must not know quite a few of these games. Thereās many great ps5 exclusives. Spiderman miles morales, Spiderman 2, Astro bot, returnal, helldivers 2, god of war ragnarok, ghost of yotei, death stranding 2, forbidden west, demons souls, last of us remake, ratchet and clank rift apart, etc are all ps5 exclusives. Doesnāt matter if you personally donāt care for them or donāt like them. They are all very loved games and Iām probably missing a few.
Call it what you want. Iām just calling them PlayStation exclusives because they arenāt on Xbox (besides helldivers) and they were timed exclusives. They are all PlayStation owned games. They never wouldāve gone to pc had PlayStation started doing this permanent exclusivity earlier.
Iām not advocating that a ps5 is worth getting. I donāt think it is, especially if you already own a pc. Iām just saying itās a huge loss for pc that all future PlayStation games will only be on PlayStation. A ps6 will actually be worth getting as long as PlayStation games stay strong.
I think the biggest reason PC-only gamers largely aren't stressed to lose PS5 single player exclusives is that many have a backlog of bangers a mile long thanks to all the 75-90% off sales.
That might also be a factor in why Sony decided to back away from the market. Many of us are also more than willing to wait for steep sales on account of that banger backlog.
The issue is their exclusivity. Games that are releasing ONLY on ps5. Theres not that many. Most of the Games shown at PlayStation showcase are coming to xbox pc and some to switch
Also switch 2 already has more exclusives in a year than ps5 in 5 years just to Bring that to perspective and most are absolutely bangers as well
Yeah, and that was said by a person who play Genshin Impact, Jedi Survivor and other generic slop. Grow up, TLOU2 and God of War are on different level than this.
I wouldn't call them bangers just good games. Elden Ring, Baldur's Gate 3, Expedition 33, those games are bangers and they're multiplatform. God of War Ragnarok, Spiderman 2, Horizon Forbidden West? Those games are good, might even be great, but certainly not bangers.
