Split between „yay, less exclusivity“ and „eww, aggressively improve profits“.

How do we abolish shareholder primacy?

i itched to shit on sony’s ports but they are ok actually, if a little unoptimized.

keep them coming, exclusivity sucks and the ports work well.

I wish they’d release them at the same time like MS does with their first party stuff. Some of the Sony games take years to come to PC.

It would be well received. The last batch of Sony games ran pretty decent

After the initial trouble with the Zero Dawn port (which they actually put in the work to fix), the ports have been stellar.

The extensive accessibility settings and configurable graphics have been even more accommodating than some PC-only titles.

And sony has been releasing drivers for the PS controllers so that ported PS5 games could still access and use the unique features on the DS5 controller, even when not running on an PS5. And not just on windows, but on Linux too. Sony has been going out of their way to not just bring the games over, but to explicitly support unique features they could have locked down and made exclusive to PS consoles.

Getting to play with the half/full adaptive trigger pull for main/secondary fire in Rift Apart on PC, was really cool.

It almost feels too good to be true in comparison to companies like Apple and Nintendo.

Don’t forget the mess of The Last of Us, which as far as I know still runs like shit.

swayevenly,

There were issues with Ratchet and Clank at launch as well.

Well it’s about time they released more. There are still plenty of games PC players are waiting to hear on

They’re almost certainly right.

Cyberpunk wasn’t received well, but they seem to have No Man’s Sky’d it into some sort of shape since.

PraiseTheSoup,

That’s debatable. I’ve had it since launch and while it is certainly more functional now, it’s not any better of a game.

Good. Not every studio needs to be snatched up by a massive corporation. Embracer's yearlong meltdown is a great example of how that can end badly.

Every company that gets bought by another corporation either cranks out a few good games and then dies, or cranks out an okay game and then dies. The eventual outcome is always death.

Bullfrog, Raven, Westwood Studios, Bioware, Origin, Maxis, Viceral Games, all of them.

There are some exceptions like Naughty Dog (is there another one?) that kept their quality after getting acquired. But I agree in general with your thesis.

i think that's a smart move on their part.

the CP2077 launch was rocky, but most of their previous games haven't had that level of hype. The Witcher 3 taking off like it did, gave them the confidence to go bigger. CP2077 is in a great place now, even if it didn't start that way.

I’m still sad about Gwent, though. The only reasonably priced CCG I’ve played, with beautiful artwork and fun decks.

As soon as Marvel Snap dropped, it sucked out whatever remaining air the game had left and even the smaller streamers dropped out of sight.

oh I thought MSFT already owned them. I guess not.

It would be nice if the entire world didn’t consolidate into two mega corps. Good on CDR for having their own vision.
CP2077 + Phantom Liberty are excellent. I just started a new playthrough. I wish it had released in this shape.

For better or worse we need more developers free from the large gaming companies.

Excited for some more content in this game, but sounds like it’s not much. Will wait to see how much it is before buying.

good, fuck blizzard. Path of Exile seems way better.

PoE rep! We need a community on lemmy already. I lack the, well, everything, to make/mod one.

Atomic,

There’s very little blizzard left in activision blizzard. Pretty much just a shell. A name. A brand.

All the content has gone elsewhere. Developers that cared jumped ship long ago.

I enjoyed Diablo2 a lot, Diablo3 was a huge disappointment and Diablo4 I did not even try. However, I can very much recommend Path of Exile!
