Sony hate thread

I don't think bloodbourne should be. They'll just hire Bluepoint again to butcher the atmosphere and add new bugs and exploits like DSR
I think people just want a port and not a remake. Bloodborne still holds up very well. The 60fps thing is the only thing that could be an issue. Not sure how emulators have handled it, or if they've done it at all.
 
Sony has decided to backtrack on the PSN account requirement to play Helldivers 2 on PC:

And even though the negative reviews played a part at this change of heart (?), it also goes to show how shitty Blizzard has gotten, since Overwatch 2 is still THE lowest rated game on Steam, and that game wasn't improved even with the low ratings.
And yet, I won't take back my refund request.

Fool me once, fuck you. Give me back my money.

They tarnished Arrowhead's reputation and their own even further.
 
I have the same sentiment with the Helldivers' developer and the Stellar Blade developer. You made a deal with Sony, you dumb fucks. Don't make deals with Sony.

Sony own the Helldivers IP, and have since the first game, which was released, like, a decade ago. They had no choice but to work with Sony. Shift Up, the company behind Stellar Blade, have no such excuse.

Nintendo systems are always underpowered
And its literally irrelevant. Have you paid attention to the game industry over the past seven years? Nintendo dominate both console and game sales in every market, and practically own Japan. Its not even close. They are the dominators of video games, not the two "loss losers".

That will leave Sony as a monopoly for high-end graphics in a console (you can't say nintendo's market is the same as XBOX/PS)
They are effectively the same at this point. They play many of the same games, with only exclusives separating them (which Nintendo has more of). The Switch is underpowered, but the Switch 2 should vastly close that gap and make it irrelevant. At that point, there will be no reason to buy a Playstation over a Switch.

A lot of people buy consoles just to play free to play games when they have some spare time outside of other life commitments. If that’s all you want to do consoles make sense since they are usually cheaper upfront and the locked down nature means theres less to setup and configure. Right now the most popular games on PlayStation in my region are FC Football, Fortnite, NBA 2K, Warzone, APEX, Genshin, Overwatch 2. Helldivers 2 isn’t even in the top 10.
And guess what? If you want to play those free to play games, you can play most of them on Switch, including Fortnight, Genshin, and Minecraft, further destroying any need to buy a Playstation for anything. In fact, in the Game Censorship thread, someone recently posted a chart of the most played games across all platforms (including PC) in the U.K., and guess what topped every list? Fortnite. Minecraft also appeared on every list. If Fortnite or Minecraft and their ilk are all you play, then a Switch will serve you just fine, be cheaper to buy, and you will be in good company for online play because almost everybody else owns one. There is literally no reason to pay for a Playstation or an Xbox.

yeah, that's what you see with the adoption rate etc., but there will always be a market for consoles because that's what some people want.
But despite everything you've said on the subject, the PC market has grown exponentially, even in Japan, where PC gaming was historically non-existent. Now, its actually becoming an increasing part of Japanese gaming culture. If Steam released a better Steambox today, they'd completely undersell Sony and Microsoft. But even if they don't, the Switch already is, as its sales prove, and the PC gaming itself still exists for those willing to invest or looking for the best possible performance. Sony and Microsoft are already getting squeezed from both ends, and are being further undermined by their continuing latching on to the previous generation consoles. In past generations, the previous gen would have already been relegated to the dustbin of history, but sales for the current gen consoles are so poor, and the buy-in so small, that Sony and Microsoft are afraid to cut the cord entirely for fear of alienating their remaining consumers. And game sales are still not where they want them, as proven by both companies releasing games on PC to try to further increase sales figures.

I don't think it will. All it's gonna be is at most 5% better than the first and everyone who got the first will over-hype how much better the 2nd version is when compared. I was a DS kid and to me the switch in no way shape or form has anything that wasn't done better than the DS, all that's changed is that the graphics are prettier and there's a new zelda game that's a nothing more than a tech demo they released twice.

People shouldn't lower their guard, they might alter the deal again later
Worth keeping in mind that it took them until NOW to say something about the situation, allowing it to get this bad. They totally thought they could just weather it out with no consequences.

Also, it would've cost them nothing to just make a cool cosmetic set of armor or a cape to give as a reward in exchange for PSN-linking, consoomers would've ran to do it on their own, fucking mongoloids

Dude, just say you don't like the Switch and be done with it. Claiming that the Switch 2 will only be "5% better" is just as asinine as claiming it will be a super computer.

They're already in hot waters with stellar blade censorship and some other controversies, how hard is it for some soulless corpos to NOT fuck up? They had a golden goose shitting eggs for them, only to go and boil this fucker alive. Sony hit the jackpot with Helldivers and they straight up drove it into the ground, what for? Some extra numbers to please investors? To sell more data?
 
Now they just have to sack their community managers, especially the faggots.
Considering these are usually nepotism positions, don't see that happening
It would also mean giving in to disgusting gamer chuds and throwing one of their own under the bus. For what? To win the favor of people they despise? Nah.
Also, from what I heard, both tranny and this Spitz guy were jannies on reddit and discord for the original Helldivers, and basically jannied their way into the company. The most obnoxious, power-tripping faggots on Earth being given power by the company itself... what could go wrong?

AI can't moderate soon enough, to be honest. It'd be about as smart.

I'm indifferent to it.

They're the monopoly on the handheld market, they don't NEED to do more than add an extra 5%. Considering the modern games industry releasing sub standard products at full price then going "Whoops, we're sorry" when the inevitable bugs and issues show up due to lack of QA and people still buy it. Why would they change their strategy with the "new" one?
