Aielman15, wczoraj do games w Forza Horizon 5 Will Require a Microsoft Account to Play on PS5

Still waiting for MS to do something right this whole generation.

NOT_RICK, wczoraj

They put their games back on steam, that was nice

DrSteveBrule, wczoraj

They likely make a lot more money with their games on steam

They make a good ergo keyboard (this is the only nice thing I can think of)

Bringing a ton of their games to PC and the PC game pass has been pretty great. Guess it’s not so nice if you’re on the consoles or Linux I guess.

Wdym, they made CoD Black Ops 6 /s

Imagine telling younger you with the Xbox 360 with Halo 2, Halo 3 and all the Gears games that Microsoft would one day be putting these flagship titles on the Playstation.

Man do you remember how heated the “PlayStation vs Xbox” arguments used to get ?

Imagine if the Goldeneye rerelease happened now.

You’d have a game on the ps5, that requires PS+ to play online, but also needs a Nintendo Online account, AND a Microsoft account (since MS owns Rare).

The future is dumb.

Kelly, wczoraj (edited wczoraj)

The future is indeed dumb. The 2022 GoldenEye has it’s own baggage.

I don’t think Nintendo was willing to let Microsoft sell it as a physical product (collectors would view it as superior to Nintendo’s NSO requirement).

Remember when Sony fans were laughing at PC players for refusing to make a PSN account to play games on Steam, even going as far as saying “it’s just a sign in, what does it matter?”. Will the table has turned.

Oddly I’ve seen no complaints yet…

Will turned that table good

Blackmist, wczoraj do games w Forza Horizon 5 Will Require a Microsoft Account to Play on PS5

Sounds about right. Needing an account for third party crossplay is nothing new.

This is the back of the Split Fiction box warning about needing an EA account and a billion other things.

thatKamGuy, wczoraj

Christ, I can’t believe I’m going to have to begin a comment with these words so early in my life…

…but back in my day, the vast majority of the back of a game case was reserved to screenshots, and to describe the features and plot of a game. Not the intricacies of the T&Cs you need to agree to prior to playing!

Blackmist, wczoraj

Exactly. You’d have a blurb, a barcode, and some screenshots from a better looking platform than the one you had.

I’m young and even this has me gagging. Our Switch games definitely don’t look like that, although I do feel box art and blurbs on the back used to entice me more, but maybe that’s just because I’m not a kid anymore. But yeah this is fucking horrendous to look at 🤢

Why do you need an account of any kind to play a single player game?

jasoman, 17 godzin temu

To be fair, it is a forced co-op game.

TORFdot0, 17 godzin temu

Oh I was referring to FH but yeah that makes sense for Split Fiction

jasoman, 16 godzin temu

Oh sorry yeah for FH you are most correct.

Blackmist, 11 godzin temu

It’s not a single player game. Or did you mean Forza?

Although if you’re offline you won’t be able to make an account anyway.

Where’s the helldivers II that caused a major fuss? This one is flying under the radar. Is it because Forza is just meh?

Gerudo, wczoraj

Forza Horizon is a great arcade racer. This is the first I’ve heard about the requirement, so maybe after it spreads online, there will be more vocal pushback.

RightHandOfIkaros, wczoraj

Helldivers 2 is different. The game already released, and then Sony tried adding PS Account requirement after many people had already bought the game.

Forza Horizon 5 has not released on PlayStation yet, and anyone that currently plays the game does so on platforms that they do have a Microsoft Account. For example, playing the game on Steam still requires you to link a Microsoft Account.

The Helldivers 2 things wasn’t that the game needed an account, it was because it was added on later. Its also different from games like Horizon Forbidden West or God of War Ragnarok because both of those are singleplayer games and should not require any kind of account to play the game as they do not have online gameplay.

ms_lane, wczoraj do games w Forza Horizon 5 Will Require a Microsoft Account to Play on PS5

There is crossplay, so unless PlayStation wants to play on their own (which they’d have an even bigger cry about) this is required.

SolidShake, wczoraj

Omg 😱. This is like helldivers 2 on PC. We should boycott!!!

nekusoul, wczoraj

Not necessarily. A good architecture could allow for crossplay between different kinds of accounts. They’re just taking the easy way out.

radix, wczoraj do games w Forza Horizon 5 Will Require a Microsoft Account to Play on PS5

FH4 and 5 are effectively MMOs. There is plenty to do alone, and the other players can mostly be ignored, but it’s still a shared world.

yetAnotherUser, wczoraj

Remove the first “M”, there are hardly any players on the map to save on server costs.

I’ve played both a lot yet it’s not rare to spend 10 minutes without seeing a single other player.

The games are fundamentally, very alone.

This is just like how we all used to need to tune into ABC first before we could watch CBS. Remember? That was so bizarre.

PattyMcB, wczoraj do games w Forza Horizon 5 Will Require a Microsoft Account to Play on PS5

Not that I was going to play it anyway. Enjoy it if you want, though

This is actually hilarious after the Sony accounts for steam games debacle

A nasza prawica pieje z zachwytu. Ciekawe czy tak samo będą się cieszyć jak Rosja nas zaatakuje a Trump uziemi nasze F 16 i rakiety. Myślicie, że tego nie zrobi? Właśnie wyłączył Ukraińcom ATACMSy i systemy walki elektronicznej w ich F 16-tkach.
