After looking at a YouTube review that really went in as to what changed, I can honestly say it’s nothing relevant from our perspective… they compared the fps rates, which were exactly the same, and compared the resolutions it plays at which is also the same. They compared graphics and only seemed to find very slight differences in some foliage and shadows.
So this absolutely seems like a cash grab. I think you get some added modes or content, which is nice, but how or why would you call it a remake?
Not that I don’t deny it, but are these things people think/care about? It’s a video game, I can be anything depending on the game I am playing. I don’t get mad or wonder why I have to play as a woman in some, hell I was perfectly fine playing last of us 2 which was a woman and gay. I can be a spirit or an alien and that’s why games are so great.
The only reason I wish it was BG3 would be for the industry to know there is absolutely still a market for these kind of games. At the same time I think they realize that now anyway. It will be interesting to see the uptick in that game type over the next 3-5 years.
For me it’s just being old… I love what I played but only had 1 opportunity to sit down and play it. I realized I love and hate the fact that there is sooooo much to do and think about. For me, my time is limited to an hour tops here and there, so sadly, this type of game just frustrates me because I am always looking at a clock, and I hate that. Wish I was a kid again, so I can actually enjoy all the great games coming out in recent years.
I came here expecting to find something new… find out about 8 of the games are a decade old or more. I wish they could make another list of top 5 in the past 5 years, or are there really not even that many being released these days? I feel like I’ve seen some really cool looking ones every year but never hear of them again.
Back in the day they would tell me the only game they have left in stock is the wall case copy. So you can take it but the case was opened and disc removed and put into a drawer behind the counter in a cd envelope. They would tell you it’s new and they can’t give a discount but assure you it’s new. I hated that, still took it but I really hated it. Give $5 off or something… the worst part is it probably happened to me like 3 times which I couldn’t believe.
I wonder if the copy in the pic is the same deal that I had.
I’m older, I don’t buy games like that anymore. The only game I got when I first got it was miles morales and that was $50. I already had ps+ so I was also getting the monthly free games and also going back and playing backlog of ps4 games I never got to which they patched to make them run better. They also included like 25 free games with the ps5 purchase of essentials which I played through a bunch. 2021 really didn’t have a great gaming year to me so I really didn’t buy much at all. Control released in Feb and was free as well on ps+ immediately. Ff7 remake dlc I purchased but that was like $20. A bunch of the games I was on the fence about getting ended up being free later as well like ghosts of tsushima, recturnal, and star wars force. I spent more in 2022 with must buys like elden ring, horizon, and God of war
They also had a streaming service, which is now bundled together for 1 price, which wasn’t the best thing ever but I got a year free because a friend got a code which came with his internet service when he moved and did not have a console. I think it was about 300 extra games to play as well and definitely had some good stuff in there.
Sure gaming could be super expensive but I really don’t have the time like I used to so waiting on things I know I won’t play immediately turns out to work pretty well with the monthly games given and now the other service as well which gets a bunch every month. I have like 3 years left of top tier since I brought a bunch of ps+ for cheap when I knew it was changing over and since I still had the streaming service it matched it for 3 extra years at the low charge. So about $120 for all 3 years to play a ton of stuff.
When the PS5 released I was contemplating getting a new PC first. Then I saw the crazy GPU prices and shortage. Ps5 was an incredible purchase at the time to play all current games without spending over 1k to do the same on PC. That alone is a huge reason to still go console. That plus the exclusives which were great.
As a PS person myself I don’t feel like we have the right to complain about exclusives! I’m pretty sure Sony has had way more than Xbox ever had and I am fine with it. In today’s market the only thing a console may have as an upper hand is an exclusive game. At least with Xbox games these days you immediately have the option to play on PC, which is what I do if I really want to play one, unlike Sony which has just started doing pc for exclusives but you are going to wait 1 or 2 years before it drops.
I like buying a PS every generation because I know it will have the best exclusives to play just like I have a switch because it’s the only place to play a Nintendo game. If they didn’t have those games why would anyone even bother buying a console at all? If they all shared the same games 100% it would be a coin flip to whatever platform you invest in at that point.
As someone who has played the game from day 1, and almost every day since, it’s a shame that this game that already is on auto drive will be crippled even further. If you have a bunch of friends who just wanna chat and don’t wanna play something competitive it fills all those roles.
I guess we should expect even less changes and content going forward… I know the level creation was just created to allow the community to provide free content so I wonder what else they can do to continue this or if the game will just die off.
I was thinking the same thing! It’s always weird when I see these videos and it looks like they have no clue what’s going on. I guess I just assume everyone that would be associated with the game would also know how to play them.
If the switch 2 is coming next fall I bet it’s finally time to move all resources onto a new game maybe? The problem with games like this are you have done everything so what else do you even have to offer?
Ps5 controller was just as bad… I’m on my 3rd now and most of my friends are on their 2nd. I also had 1 switch controller go bad as well, but I also don’t play switch as much. This entire generation had the best controllers but also the worst problems I have ever had. Prior to these 2 systems I have never had a controller break before and I’m going back to original NES days.
